Windchill

Hi all Has anyone already installed Windchill 12.0.1.0 with MS ActiveDirectory only, i.e. without WindchillDS, and then upgraded from 11.1?Is there any experience you can share? Thanks Best Regards Daniel

Hello,is it possible to have the button to open the published PDF displayed in a column of search result tab and in change task tab to avoid to have to go on detail page of each object?In my case it is more especially for creo drawings. 

Hi all,we have three CAD-Worker running. With one feeding queue and then one "working queue" for each worker. Sometimes, all three CAD-Worker are "blocked" with big assemblies/drawings (>1000 parts) for partially more than one hour (especially due to long transfer, download and thumbnail generation times).  These long times alone are not nice and need to be optimized. But we also see a huge delay in the feeding queue resulting in hundreds of items waiting for the big assemblies to be finished.Is there any way to organize the queues a bit smarter? E.g. handling small assys and mono parts with a higher prio than big assemblies so they aren't stuck in the queue?Does this need customization or can this be configured directly within Windchill?

Hi all,   I'm trying to get "Associated Process Objects" of Change Request using REST API but I'm not able to find any related REST methods in WRS documentation.   Could anyone help on this ?   Thanks in advance    /VR

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS M020-CPS17After enable SSL on windchill i have problem withFile ServersSite URL Name Status Time of Last Ping Availability Average Response Timehttps://enbiocreo.vtsclima.com/Windchill/servlet/WindchillGW master SITE NOT RESPONDING 2022-11-17 22:47:27.881 +0100 0% �Back to topWindchill Release: 11.1 M020-CPS17

Any ideas why Winchill is acting glitchy? It's completely useless at this point. Normal login using Creo or Solidworks, Winchill loads up, Ping ID recognizes server, my organization page loads up as normal.....THEN Clicking almost any button causes the program to freeze and shut down. This is happening on a fresh installation on my desktop. My labtop is operating from the same network and has no issues.

What is the use of Primary attributes Phone info page layout & Primary attributes tablet info page layout?

I am working with a University IT department to host the Windchill database. In the installation guides for Windchill 11.0, it seems that it's rather rigid in the naming of tablespaces expected for the application. Can these be changed to meet the department's standards? 

Hi,I've a design table in CreO that needs to be executed/driven/controlled from the parameters on the WTPart.Any suggestions on how it could be achieved?

Workgroup manager for Solidworks deep customization, need particular enterprise Language high level (like CATIA with CAA RADE), in case for example I need to build abstraction libraries (dlls) for Windchill Workgroup Manager, to interact at runtime level ?

I am looking for a service provider who could perform CAA RADE library abstraction with there own CAA RADE license for a CATIA and Windchill Integration. If anybody is available to provide the service, Please post your email ID here to discuss more in detail.

Looking for help to integrate Zuken E3 with Windchill 12 PDM. Some old threads didn't provide a solution. We want to use Windchill PDM for file mgnt

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1Is it possible to reserve the next Item ID in WNC?The REST API documentation does not offer a method to get the next Number (at least I did not find any method). Thingworkx also does not provide an API that does support this.This Stack Overflow article gives some hints on the implementation in WNC using InfoEngine: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35412452/how-to-get-sequence-number-in-windchill-through-api. It also suggests a work around: create a new part; take its number and then delete it. However, I think we should look for a better solution.

Based on the WRS 1.7 user guide, I'm aware it's possible to retrieve all WorkItems assigned to the user you're authenticating with when calling the endpoint /Workflow/WorkItems:   PTC Workflow Domain Capabilities v1.7   But say I wanted to get all WorkItems, including those where the assignee is not the user account I'm authenticating with when calling the API endpoint.   Is this currently possible? Or, no?   Thanks in advance.

Team,I have a very secure Windchill product.  The general population can only Read and Download one revision of any object.  We accomplish this by setting up a "Public" folder where the general population has read and download.  We also set up a "Private" folder with a custom domain and only the Product Managers have access. When a new revision gets "Released", the Product Manager moves the old revision out of the Public folder and puts it back in Private, The Product Manager also moves the new revision from Private to Public.  While this is labor intensive, it works exactly as desired.  We do this because we have problems with users building to the wrong revision. In the case of a CN Task, nobody except Product Manager can see the new revision.  The new revision is still "In Work" or "Under Review" and it's hidden in the private folder. I'm looking for a way to have the Change Activity workflow extend Read and Download permissions

Hi!How to extend user's permissions to the target objects in the workflow? For example, in the current product context user have no permission for modifying documents. But in the change activity workflow user on role assignee should modify some documents.

When FloatingPointWithUnits type attribute value is set to null after the creation, upon save and check-in, value is not setting to null.

I am building a test system for Windchill 11.0.Install Oracle 12c. Run the 11.0 PSI Setup to configure Oracle.It has been running for almost 12 hours and is stuck at 21% complete.No user problem,no permission problem,  I try to kill the process and start over with a clean Oracle install and then rerun the PSI Setup.But the completion rate is still only 21%. 

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.2 and Datecode with CPS 11.2.0.2Can we have bounding box on details page?Are Box Spatial Filters dynamic? Are the details stored in Database? Are they useful only for Visualization?

I learned today that when you save an Annotation from Creo View in a CAD Document opened from Windchill, the Annotation is saved in the Content tab of that CAD Document in Windchill.   Cool! I want to be able to use this further and view that Annotation via ThingWorx Navigate (actually so manufacturing can see it). When I created a new Representation from Windchill, I was hoping the Annotation would be Published along with the CAD Document and that I would find it when I opened the CAD Document from the View and Measure in 3D App in Thingworx Navigate. That was not the case however.  Does any one know if what I am trying to do is possible? and if so how to do it?  I imagine maybe it is in the setup of the Publisher...  This is posted in the Windchill forum as well.

Hello,We want to give acces in our windchill to external manufacturer.I tryied to make like here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGUHwlI3Kq8&t=345s I need to share lagre assembly but hide from manufacturer one subassembly in it. And the problem is that subassembly hided only in visualization in the Structure tab. In the Details tab they will be to see representation of whole large assembly by using Creo View. How can I totally hide subassembly?

In Windchill, whenever I view my Creo drawings with the "Creo Lite" viewer, I keep getting datum features that show up on my drawing (see snapshot). Does anyone know what causes this? Is this a Layering issue because I do have my layers turned-off in the drawing?

I just created a report to list all part instances (using wt.part.WTProductInstance2). The report works fine as the admin, but when I run as a user I get the following error. ERROR: Access is restricted for this user. Nested exception is: wt.query.template.invalidQML.exception. Access is restricted for this user. I have a report admin group generated to give permissions  (https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS292726) but users still cannot run this report. Any ideas?

Hello,Some of our remote employees are working with a slow and unstable internet connection. Are there any recommendations how to work this way? May be borrowed Creo licence helps?We use Creo Parametric 8 and Windchill 12.
