Windchill

Hi All,I have requirement like we can set the state of WTPart using either set state or Promotion request.But when the WTPart is connected with Particular document for ex. test.When WTPart will be connect with Test document then only the state of the part we can set as released.I can see have to change at two places one at set state action and one in promotion request.please provide your view on this how we can implement in easy way.Thanks .@HelesicPetr @VladimirN 

Hi All,Which form Processor is getting call on set state action of WTPart?Can anyone please help with this

Adding to the not so many topics dealing the collaboration of ECAD and MCAD with Windchill. To be more specific we’re working with EPLAN and Autodesk Inventor. The latter is integrated to Windchill with WGM, EPLAN to be considered. Mechanical engineering needs the electrical component modeled. EPLAN can produce step-files, but Windchill doesn’t manage these as EPMDoc primary content.   What options and best practices are there?     How I see the basics, if there's no WGM for EPLAN, not necessarily in this order ‘manage’ ECAD content as attachments to wtDocument, e.g. step-files link these wtDoc to wtParts created which in turn are added to the wtPart structure originating from MCAD mechanical eng. downloads the step from wtDoc, adds to MCAD assembly, associates with wtPart..   Make sense? Change management will be a lot of fun.

Does anyone use large CATIA assemblies? I have been trying to use CATIA CGR Assemblies not very successfully. I have requested direct PTC help, and have been pointed to an article that says it works as it should. https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS369182?source=Case%20Viewer  Does anyone use CGR's to make drawings besides me? Is there a preferred way to do this with CATIA and Windchill WGM?  I'm trying to avoid switching into Structure Mode, so I don't have to spend a ton of time loading every day. Maybe loading a saved state of the assembly?    Just looking for some suggestions from the hivemind that is the internet.     -Cheers! Brandon

Windchill Quality Solutions Risk and Reliability When assessing failure data, it's common to export the FRACAS data to spreadsheets for analysis. Since the default charts within WQS are not to be all-inclusive, the following questions was posed by our team:   1. Does PTC provide the capability to link Tableau with either WQS or Risk and Reliability for ease of data sharing and analytics? 2. If a link does exist: Is it bi-directional? 3. If a link doesn't exist: Would PTC consider adding a feature in the future?   Thank You, Tony

We want to maintain the same session across multiple requests to InfoEngine via Data Acess Object API. What we are trying to do is,  call start-Session present in a task file, get the generated Session ID and instance and pass the same in another request to another task file.  We are using InfoEngine's Java DataAccessObject API.  We are however, getting "Session doesn't exist" error. 

Hi All, Has anyone came across features / capabilities like 1Factory application and how it can be integrated / used with Windchill? Do let me know RegardsAshish

 I see the user attributes that I pulled from LDAP in the participant and it works very well.But I can't add these attributes to any form. For example, I select a user from the system with userpicker and I want to see the user attributes of this user.How is it possible? Has anyone tried it before?   

We just upgrade our windchill environment to WC12.   I am trying to use the REST APIs for the first time and just trying using classic asp. I have been successful using classic asp and doing a "GET" with my http request to retrieve a WTPart or WTDoc object.   I thought things were going well. I wanted to try getting a BOM structure.  After a lot of reading, I read the GetBOM will be deprecated so I thought I would just try GetPartStructure. I keep getting "404 error", "Entity key is not valid".   I read in article CS317238 i should be able to send an empty json string (i.e. {} ) . Here is the sample code from my classic asp. **** classic asp ****set HttpReq = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0")''get the WC token'HttpReq.Open "GET", "http://windschillserver/Windchill/servlet/odata/PTC/GetCSRFToken", False,"username","password"HttpReq.setRequestHeader "Authorization","username:password"HttpReq.setRequestHeader "Content

Hello, I'd import a mass file to chage some attributes (custom attributes, string type) on a specific wt.part. If I try to import an exitsting without cad documents, the import is done but if the wt.part has a cad documents the import failure. Do you have an idea?    

Hi,   I've been struggling for 2 weeks to figure this out. I've been able to sucesfully achieve this via Postman for simple .txt file following this document:https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill_rest_services/r1.6/en/index.html#page/windchill_rest_services/WCCG_RESTAccessExamplesUploadContent.htmlI'm however struggling alot with Excel(.xls,xltm & pdf). For example my files do get loaded into Windchill but if I try open them they are corrupt. It means Stage2 Upload was unsuccessful even though it the Response looks good: Would it be possible for somebody to help me out with 3 stages of curl  example( out of Postman) showing how to exeucte upload of a Excel and a pdf document please?Help in this regards would be much appreaciated thanks.  

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030-CPS17We want to convert Hard Model to Soft type in Windchill. We came across ModeledToSoftType tool. Need more understanding on the same. And also another utility to change type from one to another. Can we use it to convert Hard to Soft type?

I've been pretty good a custom display actions, tables and renderers. I need to create my first wizard which is simply in concept but there are some things I am unclear about. Story: Add a custom action to the Change Notice that displays a related object to the change notice and allows the user to edit information about that object. There can be more than one related object but a drop down list will allow the user to toggle between the different objects to edit a specific one. I think I have the form processor down which processes the form once a user hits complete. The wizard template (one step) looks fairly straight forward with describeAttributesTable block for input.  Things I am fuzzy on: where do I place the code to navigate from the change notice to this related object and return one to the describeAttributesTable? Do I need a getModel block related with that table? Seeing as there could be more than one object but I am allowing edit to only one at a time, how do

I have a very slow vm and requires a lot of time to restart the method server os there any alternative to restarting the method server?

Changes Notices (CN) do not respect a user's access defined in the Access Control Lists (ACL's). Read only objects can be added to the CN Resulting Objects with a Target State. Then the CN workflow runs as wcadmin so it has no problem promoting everything (including read only objects). Promotion Requests give desired error of 'Insufficient Permission for promoting an object in this context' to users on read only objects when they try to submit but Change Notices do not.   I created a ticket with PTC, but R&D said that CN's should not respect user access because the people reviewing/approving the CN should be doing it. R&D also said CN workflow can be customized using expression robots if we wish to check permissions. My thoughts: having approvers check is easier said than done when there are hundreds or thousands of Resulting Objects in a CN, and I'm not super excited about customizing/maintaining a custom CN workflow.   The net result is we keep having users acc

Hello,I'm trying to create an OIR which directs Variant Specifications generated from different configurable products to their corresponding folders.Example:I have configurable products "Product 1", "Product 2" and "Product 3"  and each one of them has a different option set assigned to them.When I create a new variant specification from Product 1, I want it to go to folder Default/Product 1, and when I create a variant spec from Product 2, I want it to go to Default/Product 2 and so on.I think I could use either the variantSpecOptionSet or genericPartName attributes of the variant specification for identifying which product the variant specification relates, but I can't get the rule to work.Here is a sample of the OIR I made and which doesn't work: <AttrValue id="folder.id" algorithm="com.ptc.core.foundation.folder.server.impl.FolderPathAttributeAlgorithm"> <!-- Check the option set used in creating the variant specification and select the default folder according
