I've seen the Knowledge Hub on Security Labels and this page which allude to how to display the label on a details page. https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/cs31877?language=en&posno=1&q=info.jsp%20security%20label&source=search That may have worked from 9.1 but I think things have long since changed since then.  Tables and Security Label history is covered as well as watermarks. Looks great. How then can they be added to Details page? BAE showed a data utility customization back in 2015: https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Community-Networking/Security-Label-Information-Needs-To-Be-Obvious-And-We-Need-A/m-p/451702#M765 Has anything been improved in newer versions (11 or 12)?

Nothing is ever easy with Windchill.  And that even comes to workflows.  I have a custom Change Activity workflow.  It has multiple paths that have different approvals and tasks.  So I created their own workflow templates and inserted them as processes in my Change Activity workflow.  Inside of these workflows there are some common tasks, like "rework".  So I created a workflow template for rework and put it in as a process in the different workflow templates.   Everything works fine until I re enter the workflow process inside the Change Activity workflow if I had already done the rework process.  If I had already done the rework process before, it sets it to Terminated and if rework is selected again, it goes into neverland and says that the first sub-process is running without errors.  If I do not go to the rework process and come back into the first sub-process, it doesn't do that.  It also doesn't do it for a process where I push a

Can anyone provide some insight on how you work with O&C. We define most options as 'required option' and 'single choice selection' but also create a choice 'without xx' even if we do not have any bom elements connected to the 'without xx' choice.Any other way makes us fail to filter out the correct Variants.  

Hi teamIn Projectlink, when someone downloads a document we want to pop up a download acknowledgement screen but we did not implement security labels.Is that possible? The help page (link below) seems to assume that you have security labels.thanks -- Rick/domain.com/Windchill-WHC/en/#page/Windchill_Help_Center%2FSecurityLabelConfigDownloadAckDefine.html 

Hi, we have implemented a custom Odata Rest Endpoint. I want to return http status code 201 Created when an object is created and the status code 200 when an object is updated via post request. I couldn't achieve it by setting the boolean variable setCreated on the ActionResult that is returned. Does anybody have an idea? Thanks in advance.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.0.0API QueryResult queryResult = RepresentationHelper.service.getRepresentations(representable) always returns empty queryresult , even if object contains Representations also.

I'm trying to understand the pros and cons of installing Windchill Index Search (Solr).  I don't see any way to create a poll here so I'll just start with this question: Is Windchill Index Search (Solr) installed and operational in your Windchill environment?   If you said 'yes', then I have a bunch more questions:   Usability What do you like and dislike about it? How does it perform compared to the out-of-the-box 'Advanced Search' Is it easier or harder to use than the built-in search? How does your user community like it?  Do they prefer one over the other? Is there value to Solr if the only objects in Windchill are EPMDocuments (CAD docs)?   Configuration Are you running Solr on a separate server server? What kind of resources are you giving it?  (RAM, vCPU, etc.) Did you add any additional foreground or background method servers to Windchill for Solr? Did you add any dedicated queues to Windchill for Solr?   Maintenance This line from the he

Hello,We will upgrade from Windchill 11 to 12. I would like to know if there is compatibility restrictions or any risk to:- export Creo workspaces from [Creo4 M090 & Windchill 11] / import to [Creo4 M130 & Windchill 12]- export Creo workspaces from [Creo4 M130 & Windchill 11] / import to [Creo4 M130 & Windchill 12] Thanks,Best regards,Nicolas

So, let's say I am in a fairly restrictive environment which means user do not have global read access to all data.  200+ Product contexts containing a complete list of CAD, Parts, BOMs and document content (Program data). So, when I search for things, I only get back what I currently have read access to at that time. Works as it should.   But let's say that I need to do some data mining. I am in Engineering and I am looking to see if we've done some type of analysis or a report from user X or if we solved a failure previously on an old program. This body of content has huge potential for Engineering to learn from past as opposed to people keeping it in their heads.   So, is there a way for users to search (thinking SOLR here) for content, get hits that it exists BUT prevent them accessing content directly?  I understand that this does open crack in security wall for exploit, trade offs I guess. In my head I see that it says I got a hit on doc XYZ but user lacks acc

We're planning to use the deserialise method from wt.pds.ConversionHelper in some query builder reports to get the values of workflow variables. The report it seems a little slow, even though there's only 10 objects to deserialise in our dev system.Has anyone used this method successfully on thousands of objects?  

 As per this thread, similar issue:   Hi,    My organisation has the same structure.  Context - Product line - Sales part  - Parts - CAD - Documents   But we have some products lines where the amount of parts is bigger than the Table size limit, which is already set to 10.000. Do you have experiences with handling this? I do not want to increase the Table size limit anymore. Best regards  Katrine Nielsen

Hi, I'm using the Import from SpreadSheet command on Windchill 11.12 month ago it was working perfectly but I now encounter difficulties. I use a recently exported file as template.At the File Validation step, I have the following Error : The Log file generated contain only the following lines :  Uploading Excel file on Windchill server from primary content of the import job...

The native task form templates were good for everything I need until last week but now I need to customise the task layout a little more.There's a testpage.jsp task template which has samples of how to add the various tables and common elements of a task using tags, but there's no details of how to add a tab to the task or change the name of a tab. For example, I like the to have the Set-up Participants table on a separate tab. I've used the <tags:workItemActions/> tag to get the Set-up Participants table. <%@ taglib uri="http://www.ptc.com/windchill/taglib/components" prefix="jca"%> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%> <%@ taglib tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" prefix="tags"%> <%@taglib uri="http://www.ptc.com/windchill/taglib/workItem" prefix="workItem"%> <workItem:MyWorkItem/> <c:if test="${myWorkItem != null && myWorkItem == true}"> <tags:workItemActions/> </c:if> There's only one

Hi,   We've created and used several attributes in CAD, and now we'd like to modify the internal name, but it's graded out. If there is a way to change the internal name of the attributes, please advise.

I am looking for anyone who has implemented some process to manage diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages (DMSMS) or obsolescence.  I saw a few older posts on the subject, but the ones that looked interesting were a) old, and b) not responded to.   I am looking at trying to better support our current process by bringing some if not all of the information and processes into Windchill.   Anyone managing DMSMS or obsolescence in Winddhill?.

Hello,I'm curious if anyone is using, or considering using the notes that can be created within Windchill and added to the EBOM.  My company is starting to look into this as a replacement for notes that are put on the drawing.  This is especially interesting for the Model Based Definition (MBD) approach as it would allow us to finally eliminate the 2D drawing that is currently used just for notes. If anyone is doing, or considering doing, this I would be interested in your thoughts.  Perhaps we could have a more in depth discussion too. Thanks!

I am curious how others define Obsolete and if there are any industry or national standards for the definition.  Since the Search in Windchill will find the Latest + Released iteration, simply promoting an object to Obsolete doesn't really remove it from the search results, and users can see previously Released iterations on the History tab.  We currently move Obsolete state objects to a restricted folder as well when they are considered Obsolete.  Departments such as Warranty and Service still need access to objects that were manufactured and sold, so they have access to that folder. This then brings up the question of what defines Obsolete, because if something had a safety issue that caused it to become Obsolete most likely no one other than Engineering should have access.  So, what does Obsolete mean to you, and how do you treat those objects?  Thanks for all your thoughts and opinions.

When we started with Change Management in PDMLink I thought we were told that there is a character number limit for ECN Number.  Something like maybe 11 characters.  I remember this because I remember talking with our consultant about if we add the letters "ECN" in the number as the prefix.  The response was the more characters you use as a prefix means the less number of total characters you can use for the automated number part.   As an example we have the text "ECN" in the number and if the total number of allowed characters 11 then we have 8 digits to use for that actual real number part of it. ECN12345678 But if we used 4 prefix characters, something like PECN (for Prototype ECN) then we have only 7 characters left to use.

Hello,   Does anybody know the API to get the Template a Change Notice was crated from?
