In Windchill, I can't leave the new fields I created blank, it has made it mandatory to be filled automatically. How to remove the user picker requirement

We have support level staff that at the moment that has Site Admin rights to WC. Their main priorities are to add users to the system and ensure that the users are in their designated roles/licenses. I need to find a way to ensure they dont have the ability to delete anything on the system. Is that an option?Ive given them site admin access so they can view Participation Administration and assign users to their designated groups which for the most part is in Organization. 

Hello, I built a mashup with a dropdown and a collection widget below.The collection widget contains a dynamic amount of mashups (items). Those mashups have a dynamic height. Using the dropdown I can switch between objects and display the data of the currently selected object.However, those objects all have different data and therefore the height of the mashup inside the collection widget is dynamic. I am calculating the mashup height in a service and using the property CellHeightField of the collection widget I managed to make it dynamic. Everytime I load the page (and the collection widget) the dynamic hight works fine.The problem is that the widget does not rebuild/refresh when the height changes when I switch to a different object using the dropdown without reloading the page of course. So basically the new height is stored in the CellHeightField but the widget / mashup does not apply the new height and keeps using the old height. When resizing the browser windo

I am using Windchill Enterprise Systems Integration Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS M020-CPS12Does Oracle ERP have Alternate Part functionality like what exists in Windchill, my ERP team is saying they have only Alternate BOM but not Parts, we do not want to setup Alternate BOM and allow manufacturing to choose from list of alternate components if need arises.Has anyone sent Alternate Parts to Oracle ERP system? any idea on which module in Oracle reflects that would be helpful

Curious about best practices and how others manage their Windchill code. Always looking for better ways and tips. Obviously this depends upon the OS you use for your servers and your chosen IDE.  Let me start. I've taken different approaches over the years but since I mainly a single developer, its been ok. The occasional intern does present config management challenges.  IDE: Eclipse Windchill OS: Redhat Linux Source Control: GIT/Bitbucket/Jira Environments: Test/Prod but looking to build out Dev with next upgrade (long story). Process: Code changes against Jira issues. Compile in IDE and copy to Linux side to Test Env. Execute Jira test scripts. Once tests pass, push code changes into Bitbucket tied to Jira ticket. Plan downtime to move code changes to Production. Process to move code to Prod is same (copy from landing place where I posted last Test server copy). Yes, I am using wtSafeArea and ant scripts to push into codebases. Any suggestion? Share your process?

As shown below, the Jenkins plugin shows 'error' message for connecting windchill RV&S account.How can I fix it ? please refer below information that depicts my situation and let me know the way to fix it. FYI1. Version : Jenkins-2.319.3 / windchill-12.4.0.0 / Jenkins plugin-2.52. I've already checked whether I entered my PTC account correctly several times. 3. I've gotten no access error with PTC.4.

Hello, I want to add a SOAP webservice in Windchill which the other systems can invoke to send data to Windchill server. Please let me know the steps to register the same and the steps to invoke it. Thanks in advance. Regards,Hari 

I am creating service document library using Windchill classification explorer based on the attribute type & values. Our service documents are stored in MSword & PDF files and i believe it is unable to create classification explorer library using document attributes. To avoid this issue i have created WT Part with same document attributes (Service doc is attached to related objects) and created classification library. Is that correct approach? Do we have any other way to create library in Windchill? Can we create WT part for document objects, till now i have created only for CAD files, share your knowledge on this?

We are unable to copy paste the activities in running project schedule. Copy and paste available during project plan creation (Defined and scheduled state)  Copy and paste NOT available during project running (Running and Inprocess)  Since copy and paste feature is not available, we are creating existing activities repeatedly, when required. Any work around and am I missing something? Thank youSathish Rosario 

Kicking around OpenDJ for my Dev server of Windchill 12.0.2. Since LDAP is only going to be storing users now (right?), is there a preferred convention for the LDAP base DN?  Does it matter anymore? I stuck with o=ptc like we did for previous installations. Is the distinction between Enterprise and Administrative gone as well?

When creating a saved report and using the 'New Data Monitor' function to create a scheduled report the only file formats available are: .html, .csv, .pdf, or .xml.XLS or XLSX are not an options and do not look to be configurable.

As per the original post.    Does anyone know if there is a solution to original post yet. I'm currently experiencing it on Creo 4 and Creo 7.

Windchill 11.2 REST API 1.7   Hello all,   I’ve been trying to pull the attribute constraints for parts classification but have been coming up short.  I’ve found a few things that seem promising at first glance, but results end up being… confusing.   PTC Documentation says that the follow are the “Classification Constraint Types”: Enumerated Value List External Enumerated Value List Immutable Legal Value List Lowercase No Duplicate Values Regular Expression Required Single-Valued String Format (deprecated, use regular expression now) String Length Suggested Value List Uppercase Valid Range Wildcard   I probably don’t need to get all of them.  The most important ones would be Legal Value List, Valid Range, String Length, and Required since these seem to be used the most.  (Knowing how to get all of them would be great though.)   1.  Windchill REST API (1.7 API V2):  The PTC Classification Structure Domain has /GetEnumTypeConstraintOnClfA

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030-CPS07This has happened twice in the last week, and it is causing outages of my PROD Windchill System for about 5 mins whilst the FG MS's all restart (it takes out all four FG MethodServers, but not BGMS).How do I discover what is causing this - because the logs don't give any detail, just loads and loads of the of the errors?ThanksGary

Like in the title, the worker agent on our machine does not create thumbnails for files with extension .prt .asm .dwg so we can't see it. All other files work fine and the worker can process the jobs. Is it a problem that the worker is configured with creo parametric 4.0 but designers used 8.0 on their local machines? 

Hello, I wanted to write JUnit test cases for Windchill customizations, I am not able to find a guide document for the same, can any of you shed some light on how one can start writing test cases for Windchill code ?. I am able to write the test cases for basic functionality like fetching an attribute but not for complex scenarios. Requesting your help with the same. Thanks,Hari

 Good afternoon! Thanks for taking a look.  I'm going to apologize in advance, I probably have some of the terminology wrong. We are running WC v12.0.2.1 We are writing MIL-STD-40051 documents with Arbortext and storing in WC.  The parent documents usually have at least two dependents (REMOVE instructions and INSTALL instructions),.  They sometimes several pairs of REMOVE and INSTALL instructions to cover different models.  The child documents are included using an xi:include, referencing the child's WC ID, for example,href="x-wc://file=0004567890.xml" In several parent documents, WC seems to have lost track of the dependency status of the child documents.  The xi:include command still works correctly.  If I open the parent document in Arbortext, WC populates all the child documents via xi:include.  The problem is that since WC does not recognize one or more of the child files as a dependent, when I open th

I received an email about two vulnerabilities in PDMLink.  Unfortunately I'm unable to access either of the referenced articles.  Can anyone else access them?
