Windchill

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I have several global attributes contained under object types which have been linked to reusable attributes. However, the basis for selecting which reusable attribute should be linked to the attributes of the object has been solely down to the data type of the reusable attribute and if it aligns with the data type of the attribute I want to associate with my object type.Description: Is this bad practice and should I have more control of my understanding of where I have used my reusable attributes? For example, I could have three reusable attributes called "Material", "Manufacturing Process" and "Product Type" which are linked to the global attributes called "Material", "Manufacturing Process" and "Product Type" in an object type called "Object A". These reusable attributes could be contained in an attribute organizer folder called "Object A Attributes" to make it clear where they are used and to which attributes they are associated to. What are th

I've gone done a serious rabbit hole but failing to see my error. I am assuming it must be me. I have two instances and both experience same behavior. I can start and stop SOLR normally as my non-root user.  But when I configure my solr.service (which is identical to my previous installs), it fails to see that solr is running, exits and stops the process. I can verify that SOLR does indeed start but the part of the solr script  (called from Index_Search_Server.sh) where it checks that SOLR is running, I think is not detecting it. It times out after 180 seconds and stops.  Here is what I observed: Confirmed that SOLR starts from java process, PID file and logs. Noticed "lsof -v" running while it was waiting for SOLR to start and consuming high CPU. Disappears when it bails after the time out.  I identified the part of the solr script where it tries to verify SOLR is running. (rabbit hole). I can see that it checks the lsof version (where I see "lsof -v", and then ru

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Using a listener via API in order to update attributes at check-in of the corresponding WTPart / WTPartUsagelink.Description: Updating values of the attributes works perfectly, but after check-in using the browser UI, the new attribute values are not displayed on screen. The UI is not refreshed. Is there a command/hook or something that makes the web ui refresh?If the user manually refreshes (hits F5), then the new values are displayed...I tried those functions, but either wasn't competent enough or they are not made for this use case...: // refresh for changes that might have been made to the object working_part = (WTPart) PersistenceHelper.manager.refresh(working_part, true, true); WorkInProgressHelper.service.refreshObject(working_part); PersistenceServerHelper.manager.update(working_part); PersistenceServerHelper.update(working_part); wt.fc.PersistenceHelper.manager.save(working_part); // this all does not help... Anybody have an i

Hello,Currently I am working with Windchill Requirement Connector which is helpful to create export from one tools to other. I would like to automate work with this tools to have possibility do automatic export. From my observation I have possibility to use batch mode Using batch mode for Windchill Requirement Connector or Remote API To start a new PTC Requirements Connector application on the server. I investigated batch mode and Remote API. Both potentiality do not allow me to create a project and export the items with API but only help me with automate export. Very important is API which will help me automate all work: create the project, create the roundtrip and do export. Exist some API which will help me to automate this job?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.1 and Datecode with CPS 13.1.0.1Is it possible to show different list of values for selection for an attribute based on a value of attribute on the context. For example : In context , A attribute called 'Confidential' with Enum of 3 values "Yes, No, Partial'. In Part, I have an attribute called 'Preferred delivery' with Enum value - Electronic, Notification, Paper, Package.When I create a part, if Confidential=Yes on context, then the list of values for 'Preferred delivery' should only be 'Electronic', 'Notification'. If confidential=No, then then the list of values for Preferred Delivery' should only be 'Notification', 'Paper'. If Confidential=Partial, then the list of values for 'Preferred delivery' should be all enum values.Is this possible to achieve?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: I would like to seek for clarification the way as-stored BOM filter works in WindchillDescription: I would like to seek for clarification the way as-stored BOM filter works in Windchill. For example, for the example part number attached, there are two available versions A.87 & A,88When we apply as stored filter on A.87 which shows different icons view for components without revision giving impression that there is no as-stored BOM.  Using the default filter, it shows BOM anyway which it might be pulling from next revision A.88 which has both as stored and latest rev BOM. As I am involved in migration validation from business end, I need to understand how this as stored filter works and how as stored boms are created and stored in windchill and what's the configuration behind it. Any support is highly appreciated. Thank you. 

New to 13 and reading this article after failing to be able to create a MFG part.  https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS367853?source=search The last note on Save As screen seemed to indicate that you could remove the columns from the default view. Well, not really. If you edit the default view, New Org ID column is not removable. You can remove the previous Org View ID. I think what this is saying is that you can hide the column. Problem is that setting is user by user right? I ended up throwing to the right side and hoping a user does not fiddle with it.  Are there any other UIs that I need to clean up that people know of?  IMHO, this is a step backward. Not sure why this change was necessary.

I am using Windchill ProjectLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.0Using the action "Send to PDM" is resulting in an error: "ATTENTION: Values associated with incorrect object." The objects are .PRT / .ASM / .DRW files.They were created within the Project. We are now trying to send it to PDM. Tested to see if it was a permissions issue using an admin account, but same error occurs. I do not believe the objects are deprecated or abandoned - they have only been inside of that one Project. Much appreciation to any insight what the issue could be.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I want to be able to only allow a transition from state A to state B in my life cycle if the object using the life cycle has not been set to "Released" before.Description: Has anybody got thoughts on the best way to approach this? I was thinking about introducing some custom JavaScript on the server to identify an attribute that would allow the code to detect if the object had previously been released before either permitting the transition or throwing an exception. Or, introducing code into the workflow. 

I've seen the presentations for the last PTC/User conference and what is online. AI is making its way into search, requirements management, service and parts classification. Any place else? Also, does anyone have an idea when some of this will be productized (what version)? I understand initially, the projects were closed betas. Will all of this necessitate cloud usage or Windchill+?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: My change activity workflow makes use of a "Complete Change Notice Task". In the "General" tab of this workflow task, I have assigned the "Change Admin I" role as the "Responsible Role". Under the "Participants" tab, I have specified user group "A" as the "Assignee". I have ensured the check box for "Required" next to this "Assignee" entry is checked. Under the "Execution Options" tab, I have ensured the check boxes for "Ignore unresolved role" and "Create task for Responsible Role if unresolved role is "Required"" are checked. I know that I have no users in user group "A". There are no users contained directly under the "Change Admin I" role in the application team. Instead, I have included user group "B" under this role. User group "B" does contain users. When I submit a change notice which generates a change task which make use of the change activity workflow, only one "Task" object is generated which is assigned to myself. I am a site administ

Curious how others are managing attribute values populated from CAD applications and whether or not you allow editing of the values outside the CAD application? The engineering team would like to make the new WEIGHT attribute editable in Windchill. This means the value could be what was calculated by the CAD application or it could be a value updated in Windchill. This seems like a bad strategy because the values can easily get out of sync between engineering and someone entering a value in the associated wtpart and easily over written on the next CAD check in.    I would rather provide another WEIGHT attribute on the WTPart and let them put whatever they want in it and let CAD derived values always remain as CAD derived values.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.13Hello,On WTParts I have the parts weight either mapped from associated EPMDocument in an attribute named PRO_MP_MASS or manually typed into an attribute named AttrB. Both are of type Real Number with Units.I want to make a calculated attribute that have this expected outcome:- If PRO_MP_MASS has a value higher than 0.1 kg, the value of PRO_MP_MASS should be the result- If PRO_MP_MASS has no value or is below 0.1 kg, the value of AttrB should be the result- If both PRO_MP_MASS is below 0.1 or has no value and AttrB has no value, the result should be "No weight assigned".Used formula: ((!isNull(PRO_MP_MASS) || (PRO_MP_MASS > 0.1)) ? PRO_MP_MASS : ((!isNull(AttrB)) ? AttrB : "No weight assigned"))What ever combination of values and empty values I make, I get no results in the calculated attribute.What am I missing?Here are the errors that I facedNone

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I have a requirement to supersede change notices and the change tasks associated to them. Objects that can be included on issued change notices as affected/resulting objects can often no longer be subject to the changes that the change notice is being used to represent. This is because newer change notices can be issued that includes the same parts as affected/resulting objects and the changes detailed on the older change notice would then no longer be required. In instances such as this, it would be good to be able to update an attribute against the change notice and it's associated change tasks to allow users to easily identify that they have been superseded by a new set of change tasks associated to a newer change notice. Please note that there will be occasions when some of the change tasks on a change notice that eventually becomes superseded may have already been completed.Description: Can anybody suggest an effective solution that meets thi
