Windchill

the License management utility and also Windchill Diagnostic Tasks Scheduler is not seen though I am the admin for site. can you please guide me if I have to add any profile. but I see it in 12.0 version which i have installed it on spare machine. 

I am looking at hosting Windchill in an Oracle hotel (which would be Oracle 19c). This hotel contains multiple application schemas. The installation guides seem to indicate Windchill is expected to be the only application in the Oracle database. As I run Oracle on the Exadata appliances (Oracle's hardware platform), the most efficient use of the hardware is to have fewer databases with more schemas in them - which contradicts what I am reading. That being said, I wanted to verify:  can I run Windchill on an Oracle database that hosts different programs (and schemas) in the same instance? Or, can Windchill can be the only application in the database (as the installation guide alludes)?

In Windchill How to configure the life cycle state to the WT part in the where used tab?

As per the original post.    Well passed a decade on this one... have you figured out how to get auto-checkin to auto-create a wtpart? It still behaves that way out of the box. 

Hello,  I'm part of a university engineering group composed of undergraduate students. We have been using Windchill for almost a decade, and with the end of PTC's support of academic servers, we are looking into hosting the server ourselves. One of our biggest concerns is being the sysadmin for a server of this scale. We were hoping that someone could provide some insight on what we should prepare for. Is being sysadmin something that we could expect a student to do? (I.e. attending to occasional maintenance and updates, but otherwise Windchill will run itself. This would look like 0-1hrs/week.) Or, is it something that would require full-time attention and oversight? (Upwards of 10 hrs/week.) Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to edit a Change Notice Description after it is created? Is there a setting or preference that I am unaware of that allows for this? Picture shows my created Change Notice with nothing entered in the Description. If I Edit the Change Notice there is no way to edit the Description. The fact that I did not initially enter a Description is not causing this.

I have a requirement where, when a form from JSP is submitted from the JSP page in windchill, all the values from the form has to be retrieved and populated in the FormProcessor. @HelesicPetr 

Is it possible to disable the publish to a Distribution target if the Part is in a particular lifecycle state?e.g- Part A.1(Version) Approved(Lifecycle State) --> Should publish to DT1Same part when flows to Released lifecycle state should publish to only DT2 and not DT1e.g- Part A.1(Version) Released(Lifecycle State) --> Should publish to DT2 only and not to DT1 Does anyone have an idea how this can be implemented? Because Windchill does not allow to remove the DT1 through API in Released state as there is no change in part Version and the part is successfully published to DT1 in Approved state.

Unable to Edit or Modify existing Notebook entry WIndhcill 10.2 There is no options under the Actions button, only copy and collapse.  When I right mouse click on the a General Link or Hotlink Only see the view information icon.  I thought I should be able to delete or add local file etc....  Any ideas - I am looking at PTC Article CS129909 which seems to suggest no fix in this version of Windchill. Is that correct or I am missing somethgin regarding the Access Control Policys.

Hi,I've spent days trying to solve various issues and I think I hit a wall. Environment:Windchill 11.1Creo 7 (previously ProE 4.0 Wildfire)PDMLink implemented. MPMLink and PartsLink to come.MPMLink needed for Creo Illustrate implementation. What I wish to do?I'm trying to put MPMLink (eBOM->mBOM transformation) to use. Why can't I?Transformation is easy in essence. The problem is that basically no assembly can be "built" because they comprise parts or subassemblies which are family table members. I get "Cannot perform Build from Part since the listed document(s) are family table members." thrown in my face. This is the wall. This leads to missing "equivalent occurrence links" (I think), which in turn leads to 2 issues:a) CS298065 No visual support for mBOM transformationb) Pvz files generated from mBOM missing lots of geometry Since many parts were created in ProE 4.0 they retained their "built

Hi teamI have about a thousand Solidworks CAD objects, and often I have the corresponding Part objects, but they need to be connected using EPMBuildRule objects. In many cases I need to create the Part object too. Can it be done using ODATA? The articles below discuss Java but I suspect it would be easier using ODATA.  Or perhaps there is another way?thanks -- RickAPI to associate WTPart and EPMDocument in Windchill PDMLinkhttps://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/cs188209 Which API can be used to build a Part Structure from EPMDocuments in Windchill PDMLinkhttps://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS182312 Sample implementation of "AutoAssociatePartFinderCreator" in Windchill PDMLinkhttps://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS135305 how to create part for epm document using apihttps://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/how-to-create-part-for-epm-document-using-api/m-p/578318 

I spent a bit of time looking at detailed logs of publish jobs and comparing them to data that's available in Publishing Statistics from the WVS monitor. I can connect the dots to all the values in the statistics except for the "Job Submit time". I understand that's when the publishing was triggered (say through a check-in). What would cause for a large difference between it and "Job start"? Shouldn't that be pretty much instant?    

Hi all, Will there be help in WC 12 for people upgrading from WC 11 with many Cognos reports, to help them migrate the reports to Jasper? thanks -- Rick

Hello - I always upload my files in my workspace at the end of the day or session.  My colleagues and I have never had to recover a file that was uploaded but not checked in.  But, we are all wondering the steps to do so.  Can a user recover uploaded files or does it have to be an administrator?  Either way, what are the steps to recover uploaded files?  Can they be recovered if the workspace has been deleted?

Is it somehow possible to add certain libraries to a project on creation, so it you don't have to do it afterwards manually. Here I am thinking of formats, templates etc. When I am creating a part in a project it wont read the template in my library it only works if i am in a product.  I get this meassage example when i try doing it in a project:wtpub://PLM/Libraries/System/Formats/a3_rd8.frm|v=A.1' cannot be retrieved.'a3_rd8' does not exist in the database.

I am looking for a way within Windchill's functionality to generate a report template to display what parts in the system were set to "Released" within a specific year.  Is this possible or has anyone had a similar idea?  I am a new system administrator looking for a little bit of guidance.  Thank you.

Does anyone know how to disable the windows that pop up when doing some actions like saving and uploading?  These notifications pop up at the bottom right corner of the cad tool.

Checking to see if anyone has gotten this to work successfully. I've been trying to debug some weird PSI issues and failures. PTC articles have sent me down some rabbit holes as I have stumbled through one error message to another. I am circling back to this fundamental setup and trying to determine if it was the source of my issues all along.  My other post detailed issues getting a standalone instance of WindchillDS running. PSI fails to detect that WindchillDS is running and bails (windchillds installer appears to have failed to start. Its PTC and/or XML log is missing). I looked this message up and its not the tmp folders. Strange thing is WindchillDS is running. I can see the install, stop it and restart it. It looks fully installed except PSI did not finish.  I only find one posting (cs368618 ) that says "you are on your own kid" with regard to SELinux. I'm going to try flipping to permissive mode. Perhaps I can see if OS is blocking something. I suspect poor error

Hello,I have this entire assembly, that I can't check in (not even a single part). Always appears some sync error related to the same parts: Already tried to remove them from the workspace, drawing included (using the browser access), but a different error appears: It is really important to have this error figured out, otherwise I won't be upload my entire work to organization.Thanks  

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.2 and Datecode with CPS 11.2.0.2Is it possible to create a copy of EPM Document in Workspace through API?(EPM document is already added to workspace through API.)

Curious if anyone has done this. It would be nice in PartsLink as users search for parts to know if there already exists a CAD model for that Part. This can be a simple Boolean but I am not sure alias or calculated attributes can work here. Has anyone does something like this or have a similar approach?    I am sure a listener can be used to calculate this value as the Part is checked in. Since CAD associations need to be modified with Part modification, it would be straight forward to add in this value setting on the way in.  Listeners can get complicated when the Part object changes midstream causing stale object errors.

I'm making a presentation template and have noticed when I view the document in WC RV&S client the fields that are long text take up over 4 inches of the display screen. I've tried reducing the maximum length and setting Display Rows to 2. The field does have Rich Content checked. I've also made sure wrap text is on for that cell. Is there a way to display long text fields to two rows height?

Hello,could you give me a hint ... I am looking for a table to see,which mksapi.jar version requires/supports which JDK  version / is used for testing by PTC.I ask because we are not sure if JDK 8 is required/supportet or if we can also use JDK 11.. We use Windchill .v12.4 and access its API via mksapi-jar-4.16.2671.jar . Thanks for your support.Ron

Hi allThe Jasper reports server must be integrated into WC12 somehow. Does it still support the REST API described in https://docs.tibco.com/pub/js-jrs/7.9.1/doc/pdf/TIB_js-jrs_7.9_REST-API-Reference.pdf?Any general info on this integration would be appreciated.thanks -- Rick
