Windchill

How linked MfgProcess and ReferenceDocument? I can't find this relation

Hi, Being somewhat confused after testing new SolidWorks version and Windchill,How do you deal with upgrading a 3rd party CAD like SolidWorks used with Windchill 11.1 M020. Is the only option to open the 3D-models via WGM in SW and let that manage upgrading to new version when saving, but then end up with a must to iterate the EPMDocument because of the modification of the content file?What a nightmare of pointless revisions   😲

When upgrading the MS SQL Server from 2014 to 2017, is it possible to backup the existing SQL server and then restore the backup to the new SQL server, which is on a new VM. Does PTC provide any guidance, I couldn't find it.Apart from upgrade-in-place, are there other methods to update the database.Our Database Administrator doesn't see any reason it wouldn't work, but we wondered what method other people used.

Hi,When our user saves a Solidworks drawing locally and has the  PTC Windchill tab "Save Viewable's" button enabled and then checks in the drawing to windchill common-space. A pdf is automatically generated and associated to the Solidworks drawing file in Commons-space under the details page. Where can we go to change the viewable type that's being generated locally by Solidworks from .pdf to .plt so Windchill markups may be created after the drawing has been Check into Windchill Common-space? edit: I forgot to mention when I posted this earlier that no CAD Worker used to create the Solidworks Viewable. Solidworks creates these and they are uploaded to the Server during Check in. Thanks,Don A

I found this video to show how easy it is to use the reusable components, but the one thing that was missing from this video is how you setup the connections.  Does anyone have these sample files they can share. https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS332905 @Pratibha 

Hello. This is Young-Chul Kim, an engineer at Hanwha Systems’ IPS Team.I wanted to contact you about technical inquiries regarding Windchill Quality Solution. The problems we encountered when using WQS RBD are as follows:The MTBF value rises when components following exponential distribution are added in a series configuration.The MTBF value changes according to the RBD order. In the analysis setting, “upon system failure” was selected for the Begin repair category, while restoration and logistic times were set as 4 and 72 hours, respectively When “Immediately” was set for the Begin repair category, MTBF value decreased when components following exponential distribution were added in a series configuration, and we confirmed that the RBD order and the MTBF value were irrelevant to each other. So, I would like to know how WQS calculates the MTBF value when the Begin repair setting is configured as at “upon system failure” and when it is configured as “immediately” is

Window for "Type and Attribute Management" is showing up as a blank page in Edge, Internet Explorer, and Chrome. This happens for all users including site administers. The CM manager is a Site Administrator, Type Administrator, Attribute Administrator, Organization Administrator, and a member of the Library Creator group for that organization. Nonetheless a blank page shows up instead of any type of window, warning, menu, or anything else. Just to establish some background, this part of Windchill and its functionality has not been used before in this company, so there is no known good setup to use as a reference.The end goal is to produce a rudimentary BOM, drawing list, or something automatically in support of program operations. Apparently GOLD support status means this PTC community is the only support we get for renewing our Creo/Windchill package just a few months ago. Anything that might help identify the problem would be great.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030-CPS16   The number of parts viewed by the classification browser is less than the actual number of classified parts.

Hi,Is there a setting in the config.pro or elsewhere where the WVS Job Monitor will pop-open automatically when models and/or drawings are checked-in?We have many engineers, as other large companies, and I find that jobs fail frequently during the check-in process.As of 9:50 a.m. EST, I am at 6 failures of models or drawings to check-in, of a small assembly.I want to see the progress before I think the check-in process was successfuThis is my first job where I have to interact with Windchill all the time.

Actually "Type" implies Template name. Do we have any option to change it ?Thanks!Senthilnathan.S

Im installing the windchill 12 but im facing a error as "Failed to validate the Oracle Home User Password with the username found in the registry."

Hello Readers ,I am working with windchill 11.1 version.I have to start from change notice then add task then add affected and resulting items . Once i click submit button , i should be able to fetch affected and resulting items .Since the objects haven't been created yet , they are still in memory , so how to fetch them in method server for doing further customization . I am trying this by overriding CreateChangeTaskFormProcessor , still not able to get resulting items .  public class CustomChangeNoticeFormProcessor extends CreateChangeTaskFormProcessor {@Overridepublic FormResult doOperation(NmCommandBean var1, List<ObjectBean> var2) throws WTException { List<NmOid> addedItems = var1.getAddedItemsByName("changeTask_resultingItems_table");System.out.println("added Items : " + addedItems );//List<NmOid> addedItems1 = nmcommandbean.getAddedItemsByName("changeTask_affectedItems_table");Iterator<NmOid> iterator = addedItems.iterator();while

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.1.3When searching for Org Principals using CAGE code as criteria, search errors because it is returning to many results.It does not matter what CAGE code value you put in, it always returns too many.Here are the errors that I facedToo many results returnedIt looks to me like the QueryPrincipalsServerHelper.class is expecting to see organizationIdentifier in the paramString but what is there is actually ptcUniqueOrganizationIdentifier, so the sql query has incorrect where clause.

Hi,I have attribute with three values. Its mandatory for user to select all the values.Selection of multiple attribute values is achieved with unchecking the Single Selection option.Is there a way to make sure WTPart doesn't gets created user has selected all the attribute values. Regards,Durga

Hi, I'd like to create a ChangeRequest Through Odata Rest API? PTC Change Management Domain operations support only Get operations in windchill 12 and 11?

Hello,we are interested to get an example to display data of specific Checkpoint with CLI-Command "si viewrevision" in PTC Windchill RV&S 12.4. We tried with basic code as follows:si viewrevision --hostname=server --port=number --user=name --yes --project=/<ProjectPath>/project.pj --projectRevision=rev member ... Unfortunately there was no success.Maybe the reason is wrong syntax of the member. Hence we need to know the correct syntax for the "member..." at the end of the command line.Additional we need to know whether "--devpath" is needed to add or not.In our application we have no development paths.  Would be greate to get an example of the complete command line. Best RegardsStephan K.

Hi everyone, I was wondering what method you use to attach parts to Change notice? In my experience it is often hard to see what parts have been removed from BOMs and which have been added. Use case: Replace one part (A) with another part (B) on multiple BOMs.- For A, that is removed from e.g 50 % of the BOMs it occurred on, my organisation does not attach A to the change, thus if you are on the page for A you can not see that it has been involved in a change and that you should consider changing trade agreement, sales price etc. The same applies to the part B. The screen shots shows how a Change Notice in my organisation is setup.It is only the BOMs that are linked to the change..  How does your organisation use the Affected and resulting objects to attach files? - What is the pros and con of your methods?

 I'm using WC 11.0 recently I have observed that global search for Latest item is not working. While I search for old items it is working perfectly.Is there any suggest or solution for such incident.

Hi All,    I could sucessfully configure AutoCAD worker and it publishes fine the AutoCAD drawings to pdf usingAutoCAD's Acroconsole. Currently Iam using the Plot command. Its convering the drawings  layout tab to pdf. Attached is the SCR file iam using in the setup.   Is there a mechanism to publish files with multi layout?  or is it possible to publish both the model and layout to pdf ?   Iam not much familliar with autoCAD and hence would like your inputs here. Is it not required to have both Models and layout in PDF ?   -Vaibhav

So, according to this article it's not possible to "enable" "Context" field in Set Location window for Save As action. Now, I'm trying to use action "New Configuration Context" from WTPart. Sadly, here is the same situation - it's impossible to set different context than the one where user is "currently": So while this is "working to spec", has anyone tried or even been able to found OOTB code that is responsible for this? Is it something totally hardcoded that cannot be changed or was someone able to found + modify (customize) this behaviour?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS M020-CPS08I am trying to Revise an object at a state where I do not want to allow modify or modify content. What are the ACLs that I need to have for this? On both the current state and the state that it needs to be at? I found an article that says that I need to have Create at the "to be" state but that didn't seem to work.Here are the errors that I faced none

Hello All,I have tried using Attribute Move Utility tool to move my IBA values (Boolean) to a Hard-Type (Phantom Part) and ended up with an exception -com.ptc.core.lwc.server.TypeAttributeMoveTool - Target attribute is a "com.ptc.core.lwc.server.LWCHardAttDefinition". This tool only supports moves for LWCIBAAttDefinition or LWCFlexAttDefinition! I am Trying to figure out alternate way to make this happen. Open for suggestions- Thanks and Regards,Rohan

I have installed Windchill 11.1 M020 CPS20 on 3 servers using the same downloaded files and a document I created when doing the first install to get the steps right.  I have one VM server that refuses to complete the installation and aborts the install about 40% into the process after 2-1/2 hours of process the files. I have opened help desk calls with PTC on 2 prior fails on this same machine and they have been useless in figuring out why this one machine aborts the process. IT has looked at the VM machine and confirmed that it matches the other 5 Windchill/Oracle VM machines. When it fails, I remove everything from both the WIndchill and Oracle servers including using regedit to remove all keys that point to the installation locations and then I start over. I am at a loss as to why this one machine aborts the process. The log files say it runs out of Java memory. But why just this one when I have done 4 other installs successfully ( I did one server twice as I verified my proces

So we implemented custom Publishing actions per cs211115 and initial tests were great. Combining search results and batch publishing is awesome. 3/4 of the way down they talk about "For example, if you want to hide the new Publish Tools default visibility value for All Members and give the access permissions only to the manager, modify the followings" and go on to suggest modifications to the roleaccessprefs.xml which we had done: <uic name="list_Rep" order="4010" enabled="true" defaultAll="false" defaultManager="true" defaultGuest="false" managerEnabled="true" guestEnabled="false"/>    </global> My assumption was that admins and Product Managers would see this actions in search and folders pages. Normal members would not see the action. I have test user setup and actions still appeared. They suddenly, they were missing and then back again. I cannot make heads or tails of this. Am I missing something here? Is there a caching issue going on
