Windchill

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 ThingWorx forum as well.  

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. 

Hello, I know that we have a functionality called Enterprise Data which comes under Windchill MPM Link module, but even with the MPMLink module installed, I could not see the Enterprise Data option in my application. Can anyone shed some light on when I would be able to see the Enterprise Data in my system, is there any preference or setting that needs to be updated to enable the same? Thanks,Hari

Using WC 12.0.2.7, I am trying to auto-create and link change objects at various levels (PR to CR, CR to CN, etc.).  I have searched the community for examples and found one called "Create Change Request from Problem Report and Default to same Container" that seemed to have some useful code, but the linking between the CR and CN in the example used the older model of linking. wt.change2.FormalizedBy fb = new wt.change2.FormalizedBy();fb.setChangeIssue(ci);fb.setChangeRequest2(CRNew2);wt.fc.PersistenceServerHelper.manager.insert(fb); I cannot find examples of the newer objects used for linking (ChangeProcessLink?).  Does anyone have an example? Related question:  Does anyone have the most recent JavaDocs available from PTC (or can anyone tell me where to get them)?  My copy appears to have many gaps (such as the "insert" above call which does not appear in my docs on the "PersistenceManagerSvr" interface used in "PersistenceServerHelper.manager").

I wanted to override the code which is getting invoked after clicking on ok button of the revise action

When our original Windchill system was created at Windchill 8, the then system admin created multiple vaults. There are vaults for the part library (6 folders), documents (3 folders), product (53 folders), etc. Since then Windchill has added the capability to automatically create a new folder in the vault when the current folder reaches a threshold. I have set up the other Windchill system to do this. Is there any way to move the files from the multiple vaults/folders to a single vault/folders structure for auto rollover when a folder is full? This system is current on Windchill 11.0 M030 but in the process of doing an upgrade to Windchill 12.0.2.

Does anybody have any good information or documentation about Partslink Classification and reuse.  I want to suggest my company use this to help classify parts, but I need good documentation to sell them on the idea.

I'm trying to troubleshoot CAD worker performance to figure out why registering a server and downloading a simple (small), single part takes minutes. We've done bandwidth tests between the CAD worker VM and Windchill and can move a ton of data within seconds. But when the CAD worker is publishing (either Creo or NX), that performance is non-existent. For example: an average time to register server 1+ minute. This seems to happen for every single job that goes through on Creo. Why? A single part (cube and cylinder for a demo) takes nearly 3 minutes to download.While some recent settings seem to have bypassed NX jobs needing to re-register the server every job, even a washer takes 2+ minutes to download through the WGM. But if that same file is passed between the worker and server, it's near instant. What would cause such a drastic slowdown when the file is downloaded through WGM?

Hello Our company has switched to using a Microsoft cloudy SMTP server and I am having a hard time debugging it. I have enabled verbose debugging as per CS49374 but the output abruptly ends: 2022-11-02 00:04:33,923 INFO [EMailQueue.SchedulingThread] wt.system.out wcadmin - DEBUG: Jakarta Mail version 1.6.52022-11-02 00:04:33,923 INFO [EMailQueue.SchedulingThread] wt.system.out wcadmin - DEBUG: successfully loaded resource: /META-INF/javamail.default.providers2022-11-02 00:04:33,923 INFO [EMailQueue.SchedulingThread] wt.system.out wcadmin - DEBUG: Tables of loaded providers2022-11-02 00:04:33,923 INFO [EMailQueue.SchedulingThread] wt.system.out wcadmin - DEBUG: Providers Listed By Class Name: {com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport=javax.mail.Provider[TRANSPORT,smtp,com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport,Oracle], com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPSSLStore=javax.mail.Provider[STORE,imaps,com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPSSLStore,Oracle], com.sun.mail.pop3.POP3Store=javax.mail.Provider[STORE,pop3,com.sun.mail.pop3.

My Requirement is to read a (CR)text box value, when Clicked to fetch the values, I have to show a Dropdown list of (CN's) associated to it. I'm just trying to read the values first.   <html> <head> <script> var request; function sendInfo() { var v = document.vinform.t1.value; var url = "http://Server/Windchill/servlet/odata/v1/ProjFolder/EndpointName?%24count=false"; if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { request = new XMLHttpRequest(); } else if (window.ActiveXObject) { request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } try { request.onreadystatechange = getInfo; request.open("GET", url, true); request.send(); } catch (e) { alert("Unable to connect to server"); } } function getInfo() { if (request.readyState == 4) { var val = request.responseText; document.getElementById('amit').innerHTML = val; } } </script> </head> <body> <marquee> <h1>This is an example of ajax</h1&g

Hello,We have error in windchill "Reteam not allowed because the object is not the latest iteration. Refresh the data and try again."I can't any information about this error. All I understood about this error is that it happens with new objects in windchill. I can upload these new objects to workspace but can't check in.

Hi , In Jasper Report integration with Windchill, its been observed that only String value can be passed as an input because the following code snipper is designed to accept only String type:Map<String, String> reportTemplateCriteria = new HashMap();final URL reportUrl = ReportHelper.manager.getThirdPartyReportExecuteUrl(reportRef, reportTemplateCriteria); But the native Jasper has capability to accept Collections, StringBuilder etc.Would be helpful if PTC provides facility to accept non String parameters that can be passed as input to the report. Regards,Vinoth K Balu

I've read the many posts and articles on this topic and am prepping to setup my environment. I planned on using my index server to temporarily host an 11.2 WindchillDS instance for use with upgrade target and later switch to OpenDJ. Just running it heck of time getting this installed. First issue was lack of space on /tmp, worked around that. Next was it complaining about the Java version not being higher than 1.8.0_202: Invalid Java version. Java 1.8.0_202+ is required. *Installation Directory for Java for Windchill: however, I downloaded Amazon Corretto 1.8.0_342 (OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-8.342.07.4). Following CS344918 , I downloaded the latest CPS update (17) which has an updated version of WindchillDS in it. No dice. Still not letting PSI install standalone WindchillDS. Any other thoughts? 

Hi,Is there a way to prohibit publish of CAD Documents entirely based on a specific life cycle state, in this case "Under Review"? It does not add any value for the publish to run because of Promotion process. I've tried to work around with this in the publishrules.xml / Visualization Configuration Administration, but this is not the solution because it's not that straight forward with the other state values:<not><attribute name="epmdoc_lifeCycleState" value="Under Review"/></not> Just simply tell somewhere "if state is Under Review do not trigger publish", but where?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 10.2 and Datecode with CPS M030-CPS17Windu task Stucked with Detect Missing Audits for Change Object Workitems.Here are the errors that I facedDetect Missing Audits for Change Object Workitems.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030-CPS16Relationship report is showing wrong version of drawing in WNC 11.0Refer attached video, initial part in the video is from 11.1 and later part is from 11.0 to show you the difference in behavior for same scenario.

Has anyone experience with extracting data from Windchill (WT.Parts/BOM Structures) and Attributes?   What tools did you use that could make this process of extraction streamline and/or efficient?   My company is in the process of migrating from our legacy MRP to SAP ECC/ERP/MRP.    This data dump will be in the hundreds of thousands of Material Masters/WT.parts and related BOMs.   Thanks in advance.Kayle Brock

Hello, I have a below requirement, request you to shed some light on how the same can be achieved. i) There are two IBAs loaded at WTPart level, let's say IBA1 and IBA2.ii) If a specific value is selected for IBA1, IBA2 must be populated with an auto generated number similar to what we do for WTPart number generation. I want to know the feasibility to achieve the above requirement by modifying the OIR of the part, since it would require less customization as compared to developing a data utility. Thanks,Hari

My requirement is to export part structure with some details.It should be dynamic as per custom view - columns selected by userI wanted to read part structure as is line by line with same order how it works in ootb export actionIf anyone aware of this API to read table data. Please reply hereThanks    

See attachment for the message he gets when he attempts to check the drawing in.One of our lead CAD Designers says that it makes no sense that it would be looking for a pdf in order to check in a drawing. Use did say that he added a second sheet to the drawing so that would be the reason for the B revision.   

Hi there, the default behavior of windchill is, that if somethings goes wrong during checkin process, the checkin comment is lost.So I tweaked  <Windchill-installation>\codebase\templates\uwgm\cadx\checkin\checkintables.js a little to make a copy of the comment to a new window like: var comment_window = window.open(); comment_window.document.writeln(comment);(I intentionally left all code out, which "prettifies" the new window)  works great! Now I want to copy the comment directly to the clipboard.But when I try this// copy comment to clipboard navigator.clipboard.writeText(comment) .then(() => { alert("successfully copied: " + comment); }) .catch(() => { alert("something went wrong"); }); I get the error under Creo 8.0.6.0, "checkintables.js Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'then')" What am I doing wrong?

Hi! We've recently set up Windchill at our university and we have problems connecting to the server through Creo Parametrics. When we add the server through Server Management in Creo Parametrics, and login it says "Authentication failed" (after 60 seconds): The methodServer.log says  ERROR [ajp-nio-127.0.0.1-8010-exec-7] com.infoengine.log.error testuser01 - com.infoengine.au.delegateprovider.DirectoryBasedCmdDelegateProviderService.getCommandDelegateEntry() caught an exception while searching the Directory for the Command Delegate specified by commandName: <getServerVersionInfo>, wcTypeId: <com.ptc.windchill.uwgm>, targetRepository: <windchill.edu.liu.se>.
