HiI need to validate the parameter "number" in Windchill for CAD objects and parts when are performed SaveAs and Rename command.Created validator class in which redefined the functions - validateSelectedAction(), validateSelectedMultiSelectAction() and validateFormSubmission()What is the "action" I need to use to register the validator class?What do I need to specify the "selector" to the calling function validateSelectedAction(), validateSelectedMultiSelectAction() and validateFormSubmission()I tried to do as shown below, but are not called validators.<Service context="default" name="com.ptc.core.ui.validation.UIComponentValidator" targetFile="codebase/service.properties">        <Option requestor="null" serviceClass="ext.ntck.validators.NTCKValidator" selector="WFSAVEAS" />        <Option requestor="null" serviceClass="ext.ntck.validators.NTCKValidator" selector="MULTIRENAME" /></Service>Th

Hi,When I try to create WTPart using Windchill Part Creation Utility I got an error:>>> Choose an option: 3 wt.util.WTException: LifeCycle state "CAD Data Management.INWORK" mapping is not found in lifecyclemap.properties.xconf file. Please make the entry and propagate it.I compare lifecyclemap.properties with another machine where utility works fine and I can't find the difference. Properties.xconf file looks like this:<Property default="Basic" name="Basic"/> <Property default="Basic.INWORK" name="Basic.INWORK"/> <Property default="Basic.RELEASED" name="Basic.RELEASED"/> <Property default="Basic.CANCELLED" name="Basic.CANCELLED"/> <Property default="Review" name="Review"/> <Property default="Review.INWORK" name="Review.INWORK"/> <Property default="Review.UNDERREVIEW" name="Review.UNDERREVIEW"/> <Property default="Review.CANCELLED" name="Review.CANCELLED"/> <Property default="Review.COMPLETED" name="Review.COMP

Hi teamIn QueryBuilder you can join the document table to the Subfolder table, which gives you the 'leaf' folder where the document resides. You can have Subfolder Name in the 'Select or Constrain' tab. Good.You can join from the Subfolder to its parent Subfolder, and so on for deep folder trees (performance seems to suffer due to this).I don't always have the same depth of folders, so is there a way to recurse all the way up to the top folder? I hesitate to say 'iterate' because Windchill uses that term w.r.t. versioning, and I am not talking of that. Maybe this is relevant: you can join the Document table to the Folder table via the 'Iterated Folder Member Link' but there are no Folder fields which can be used as criteria. How/What/Where can this be useful?thanksRick

HiHow can I attach a document (reference document category) to a WT part which is in released state.Example:I have a part "123456.sldprt_A1.5", state: production.Document to be attached: First Article Inspection Report: "FAIR.doc_A1.3" state: InworkWhen ever I am inspecting the part for new batch manufacturing, I need to attach the "FAIR.doc" to WTpart of "123456.sldprt_A1.5", state: production - without check out and check in.Because, check-out and check-in revise the part each time I attach a "FAIR.doc".Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you

I have drawings for parts that are automatically filled since they are taken from the model parameters. Some examples are PARTNAME, PARTNUMBER, REVISIONLEVEL, etc. I have a lot of drawings that I need to open to review those parameters. Is it possible to get the parameters directly from windchill instead of having to open each drawing? Thank you

Hii...Greetings...This is with respect to the installation of Windchill Reliability & Prediction (MTBF)We at TAFE have purchased the windchill Reliability & Prediction tool to use the MTBF functionality.I tried to install the same in my PC with IT team's support & the SW has been installed.While trying to open the SW, following error pops up:"Fatal Initialization Error: cannot open user settings file(RlxOpt.mdb)"Kindly guide me in this regard.PS: In the product drop-down, only "Mathcad" option was present and so the same has been selectedBest Regards,Prahaladh S

How to Modify Default Units From OHM to OHM(DCR).Thanks. 

Hello, I am currently querying users by email. I am doing it this way - so target is WTUserquerySpec.appendWhere(new SearchCondition(WTUser.class, WTUser.EMAIL, SearchCondition.EQUAL, email,false), new int[]{0}); But I also found this way:OrganizationServicesHelper.manager.queryPrincipals(...) Do both solutions go through the entire user list of Windchill since the second one is for principals and not for users?And what is the general difference between WTUser and WTPrincipal or are they the same? BR

Hello, I'd create a new reusable attributes (type) to put a link to a file in share lan folder.for examples:\\test.com\data\temp\xxx.pfdI done all but it doens't work, when I tri to click on oi, Windchill give me this error: How can I add an attributes with a link to open a PDF file?   

Hi,another weird issue after upgrading to PDMLink 11.1 M020. Users moved from Creo 6 to Creo 8.03 and the search tool is not visible in creo parametric.  is it some preferences disabled in creo/windchill?  They have registered windchill server and set a primary server as help center said:"Search is added to the navigator automatically after you set the primary server in the Server Management dialog box."   

As part of validating a Change Notice before approval, we want to make sure the Resulting objects have not already been part of another change.  We can check states on the docs for most cases, but sometimes we need to take the resulting documents and look at any other CNs that are also trying to validate.  I already have the code that takes a CN and returns the list of Resulting documents, parts, etc.  What code takes a document and returns the list of CNs containing it?

Configured 3 different subtypes of part in Windchill. For every part, objects will be created in all 3 subtypes. These objects are connected using Partusagelinks. Like Part1<->Part2<->Part3. How do I return all the attributes of all the three objects using SQL? Every subtype has its own set of attributes.

Hi experts, We have custom webjcets for creation of WTpart and WTPartUsageLink.These were able to use with no problem in Windchill 9.1.But the webject for WTPartUsageLink only when it updates multiple records(ex: a process is a update of one parent and creations of multiple WTPartUsageLink) in one transaction, no longer returns the process after upgrade from 9.1 to 11.1.The webject for WTpart (this process is always one record update in one transaction), and also webject for WTPartUsageLink when it updates one record in one transaction have no problem under Windchill 11.1.We have thoroughly investigated this webject's logic and it seems fine. We also checked property files(wt.properties and db.properties), but could not determine whether they were affected or not.Are there any other points we should investigate to help us resolve this issue?

Hello everybody,I am using Windchill WGM 11.2.1.3 with Creo Element Direct Modeling 20.3.2.0I am experiencing differences from how I use Windchill with Creo Parametric 7.07.0.I'll explain :- if in creo parametric I open any file and try to modify it, the pop-up immediately appears to submit it to check-out (rightly so).- in creo modeling by opening a file instead, I can modify it and afterwards at check-in the window to put it in check-out appears (so I risk modifying files without knowing that I have deliberately put them in check out).So I tried to insert the auto lock preference.When I add the files in ws they are all correctly locked and therefore if I open one of these objects and modify it, the warning appears.The problem is that if I edit the files and check in, the object doesn't lock automatically. I should always do it manually wasting time. Is it possible to have the same behavior as Creo Parametric or to have everything I check-in be blocked ??? Even when I update older ver

As per this thread - same issue   Hi @VINO, I have integrated the same implementation as yours.   I am also facing the same issue. Whenever I used to call "mail.addPart("ext.gt.test.MyResources", labels.getString("Message"), null, "text/html");" this function, I am not able to recieve any email. But without mail.addPart function call, I am able to receive email. Could you send the format of the Resource Bundle file that you had registered and the location of that file?   Or do you find any other way to add content to the mail?

Hi team,I'm currently trying to implement an improvement to our Windchill system and utilise the pdf quickview option available. This is intended to simplify things for our purchasing department. I have activated the plug in and have run into a problem. It appears to only be working for released drawings and parts that have been checked in using our worker station, this generates files in pdf format so no issue there it works as intended. However over the last decade or so various engineers have taken the easy route and checked drawings in using a 'custom check in' method which uses there on computer, this has generated files in .plt format and as such isn't giving the pdf quickview icon. Doe's anyone know of any quick fixes for this? Is it possible to make the quickview work for .plt files as well? The only other option I can see is republishing all .plt drawing files, there are thousands in question - any mass republish tricks around or will this need to be done a single dr

PDMLink 12.0.1.2 Using Creo 4 M140 I turned the Windchill Performance Advisor on 2 days ago.  Since then I have received several reports saying a user cannot set the location of their CAD files when trying to check in.  They get the spinning circle.   I even tried it as org admin and get the same thing. That isn't the only thing affected.  I get the same thing when going to the Event Management. When opening the Event Management through Creo is when it happens which used IE as its internal browser by default.  Opening a separate IE browser and going into the EM does not produce the issue. I changed Creo to use the Chromium browser and there is no more issue. However, we had to switch the internal browser in this version of Windchill about a month ago because Creo wasn't working and it caused other problems.  That original problem cleared up so we switched back to IE.  Chromium for the internal browser is a no-go for us. Does a newer version of Creo

Hi,One of the constructors has a problem with rename part. He has the same privileges and is in the same groups/roles but rename option is greyed out. Where did we suppose to look to fix it? It is urgent.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS M020-CPS08How do I do a compare of a CAD Document (Creo Assembly) to a wtPart view that isn't the default Design? I need to do this so that I can then run the "Build One Level Part Structure" for the newly created "new view" of the assembly that was just set with the CAD Object as Owner.Here are the errors that I faced None

Hello, in our environment (windchill 11.0 m030) we have different View versions of our WTParts (Design, Manufacturing, SpareParts, and so on...) We're wondering if it's possible to restrict access to specific views for certain users/groupsie. Our technical designers would like to be able to see only the Design view and not be bothered with the other ones, including avoiding having those listed when they perform a search Any ideas?

Hi,I have never used Windchill Part Creation Utility. One of our clients moved from Essentials to PDMLink and wants to create WTParts for all existing CAD Documents.Can someone help me set up an XML file for all CAD Docs in DB? We want to skip folder specifications etc. and create WTParts for all cads. Documentation doesn't help at all 😞 WTPartCreator   Thanks in advance

good morning,i have a question: is it possible to start a publish job when users revise an object? for example, if i have a prt released in revision 1 with viewable for Creo View, when i revise the prt the viewable disappear.thanks for answering
