Hello everyone!I've made a custom validation class on Promotion Request Wizard to allow only 1 Object to be promoted.On my implementation of DefaultUIComponentValidator, the method performFullPreValidation(UIValidationKey arg0, UIValidationCriteria arg1, Locale arg2) throws a WTException when validation not met the requirements, but the message on Exception do not show to the final user, just appear on console.What's happening? Am I missing something? What's the correct way to display exception message to the final user through alert dialog? This is the implementation:  public UIValidationResultSet performFullPreValidation(UIValidationKey arg0, UIValidationCriteria arg1, Locale arg2) throws WTException { if(arg1.getTargetObjects().size() == 1) { return super.performFullPreValidation(arg0, arg1, arg2); } else if(arg1.getTargetObjects().size() > 1) { throw new WTException("Only one object allowed for promotion"); } else { throw new WTException("Need to select o

Hi, when I try to edit a test case using im editissue --field=Title="My Title" idxx (where idxx is my test case id) I receive the following error Could not save modified item idxx: MKS124079: The field "Title" is not a valid field in the Type "Test Case".Using " im viewissue idxx " -> can see that field Title is there.How to make it work ? I tried updating the title manually (from gui) and it works, but still cannot use im editissue (....) and it's important for scripting.

I wanted to connect eclipse with windchill and create new classes. The connection was made and there were classes used in the com package. As soon as I created and uploaded new classes into the com package, the .class files in windchill were deleted and the test system stopped working. What can I do for it?

Dear all, when a ESI xml is generated, the number and date formats are always following the language that the user has chosen in the UI. That means e. g.English : 0.000German: 0,00 (Comma instead of a dot)Same for date formats.This is very annoying because the connected systems are getting the values in the wrong formats and this is then causing errors..Is there any way to confiqure that behaviour in order to get date and numeric values always in englishformat? We are using Version 11.1. Thanks,Juergen

CreoView Publishing has been running fine for a couple of years, but last week, it quit. The message is "Failed to Register Windchill Server <workspace_name> --15. Nothing has changed from a Windchill standpoint, no username or password changes, etc. The only change might be a Windows update patch that IT installed in 1/13. I am still waiting on word from them if the installed any patches. They say no patches installed . Does anyone have any ideas what may be wrong. I have deleted the cache files as recommended in CS articles, checked the auth.properties file, etc.

After creating a part ("DIM_TESTING_CONTEXT"), is there any way of adding "TEST_PART_1" and "TEST_PART_2" using the REST API?  

Recently did an upgrade of PDMLink 11.1 to 12.0 on a test sever, and we wanted to re-index all of our Solr entries. Running Solr on a standalone server, and deleted the existing entries to start the re-index. All of the entries are failing. Double checked the connections and made sure the Solr admin and password match on the 2 servers. i know you now longer have to create the cores, but was wondering if I should blow them away and do a manual build. Just inquiring to see if anyone else has experienced this. Many thanks in advance!

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0I have some BOM Reports that timeout based on the length of time to return the result set. The implementation follows the Multi Level Bom Report pattern but the aggregation of structure is quite large to process given the http response setting.Is there a design pattern for running report in background with the table builder implementation / bean construction?Here are the errors that I facedExceeds http response timeout and get a Proxy error

When doing an upgrade on different virtual hardware, UpgradeManager modified my production database and now Windchill will not start. My first comment is that this should NEVER happen. I do upgrades on new computers so my existing systems remains viable. Now that I have a corrupt system due to PTC, how do I restore it? I have backups taken about a 6 weeks before the attempted upgrade. That is my fault for not taking them just before the upgrade. My backup data consists of the Oracle DB, the file vaults and an LDIF export. What had me confused was that my source Windchill system was still running after the failed upgrade attempt. Only when IT rebooted the computer did the issue come up with the method servers failing to start due to incompatible data. So, what steps do I need to take to restore the system to my April backup? I am thinking about wiping both systems and rebuilding them from scratch and then importing the Oracle and LDIF files and restoring the vaults. Is there a restore m

Hello, how to get alternate part details - Associate Distribution Target.I have set respective attribute value to "yes". Still did not able to get the details in XML exportAny thoughts?

Has anyone worked on getting Creo to output a proper BOM from a cable assembly?  Right now, you get connectors and the harness parts but what about a listing of the wire from the spools?  I think what it should do is list wires from the spools with their lengths along with connectors as each.  Otherwise, there is no point to showing a Part for the harness model. It should be blocked from the Windchill BOM and manually replaced.  I am on Creo 2 so if this is a change with Creo 4, let me know.

When ERP Connector is installed, you can go to Actions -> Send to Distribution Target from a Windchill browser. This action does not appear to be available from the Creo Workgroup manager. Is that a feature that is not available in Creo WGM and must be done from a browser or is there a way to enable "Send to Distribution Target" from Creo? 

How do I change the tile to allow more of the Attribute text to show.

Hi there, I have a problem with a job in "commonScheduleQueue".This Job runs for at least half an hour and fills up the transaction log on my database completely (meanwhile 30GB). The job's details:Target Class:wt.scheduler.StandardSchedulingServiceTarget Method:executeScheduledItemArguments:[object: wt.scheduler.ScheduleItem:13000302, type = class wt.fc.ObjectIdentifier]How Do I identify, what the corresponding issue is?I mean, if "13000302" corresponds to a (e.g.) promotion request, that is already closed, I could simply delete this Job. But currently I just do not know. Chears /me

We have a headache around duplicate and unapproved Creo drawing formats getting checked into Windchill. Any ideas on how to make formats easier to manage? Users like to do a Workspace Save As and it's relatively easy to duplicate the formats. Once checked in, the duplicate formats are a lot of work to remove. Can formats be excepted from the Windchill Save As menu? Can creation of new formats in Windchill be restricted to an set of users? Easy way to replace the duplicate formats in Creo drawings? Other than manually replacing in every drawing. There's a ModelCheck for FORMAT_NAME to create a warning/error if not using an approved format but it doesn't currently allow no format as an option.

I can get a string attribute from the Change Activity to the workflow.  How do I convert a long attribute to an int attribute?  Code for string is below where attribute is the attribute in the change activity and att1 is the attribute in the workflow.   com.ptc.core.lwc.server.PersistableAdapter obj = new com.ptc.core.lwc.server.PersistableAdapter(primaryBusinessObject,null,java.util.Locale.US,null); obj.load("attribute"); att1 = (String) obj.get("attribute")    

I have some familiarity with the odata/rest functionality with my org's WC setup, but am now looking to adapt that to directly download associated visualizations/representations of documents (PDF files) to a folder using the same type of http request - looking at the URLs of the files associated with a given document, I dont see anything explicit on how to reference a specific visualization for a given document number (each visualization seems to have a new object number, not related to the parent docmgmt object number, at least in the console/http request for the file). Is there a http string that will let me download all visualizations for a specific document object? or a set of search parameters in the 'DocMgmt' domain? or is it in the 'Visualization' domain? Downloading the files individually from WC, the links show up in my console as 'WindchillGWAUTH' domain, which seems separate from odata entirely, is there any way to reference these from the odata/rest side? I would

When I check a version into Windchill, is there a way to describe which changes I made or to put in a note where I can write what I changed compared to the previous version?

Is there a possibility to set the list of routing options of a task depending on a variable when starting a task? I only found the "tally" method to set up events automatically but that does not seem to help in my use-case.   Use-Case: Skip a routing option when a process/task variable has a specific value.   Pre-Condition / dependend variable:                 boolean ir_autocreated;   Routing in Task: A B C X   For Routing „X“ there shall be valid: IF ir_autocreated == true THEN Routing Option “X” shall be "invisible" / not selectable in the task   Thank You in advance Harald

Hello users, In PDM-link Structure BOM,Apart from part icon, Replacement parts display as child parts.While exporting the BOM, how to differentiate it and send it to supplier/other Unit. Note: Using PDM link only, not project link.Thanks!

A few years ago our company did not use the WT part function in Windchill.Today we want to use WT parts for everything. How do I create a WT part alone and then associated with the part we created a few years ago?

I would like to create a WTPartReferenceLink between a part I have created in '/Windchill/servlet/odata/ProdMgmt/Parts' and a document I have created in '/Windchill/servlet/odata/DocMgmt/Documents'.However, When I POST '/Windchill/servlet/odata/ProdMgmt/Parts('OR:wt.part.WTPart:###')/References', I receive a 501, OPERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED.How can I create this reference link using the REST API? I was unable to find the instructions in the 'Windchill REST Services User’s Guide'.   Thanks!

Is anyone using Windchill as a BOM resolver for all customer orders? Would like to get some insights.Our product structure is a fully configurable overloaded platform. We use O&C, assigning Usage expression to the bom elements (solutions) and .set up configuration rules.The issue is that this is manually converted/copied to our erp system and Sales configurator systems that currently resolve the BOM.Looking for insights / Best practice on integrations to erp and sales configurator.
