Windchill

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

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
