I have an account called publisher administrator. On my publisher server, i am running Creo Parametric 7 and it uses this account but I am not sure what its for. I have a saved password in the browser cache so i dont have to remember the pw but when I did an upgrade the cache password disappeared so I will need to reset the account password. Does anyone use a publisher administrator account and if you do what is it for? Any consequences in setting  a new pw?I am on Windchill PDM link 11.1 CPS 20. 

I've accidentally deleted a workspace and was wondering if it's possible to recover it. We are running version 12 of PDMLink and version 7 of Creo

Hi,   I am also looking to integrate walkme with windchill but not getting relevant material, can you please provide me some details around the same.   Regards, Chirag Agarwal

As per this thread , same issue. Hey!   It's been 5 years since this reply, and I'd like to learn more about Windchill customization.   I'd like to create custom endpoints for Windchill's REST API. Are there any updates, documentation, guides, or videos for that?    Thanks.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know why Windchill still uses Internet Explorer for its default embedded browser? Last I checked, IE is more or less obsolete with limited support. I know you can change the browser, but just thought it was strange IE is still the default.

Hello everyone.I have the value of a variable of the WTContainerRef class. Please tell me how to get the values of context attributes using JAVA?

Hello everyone, can you please tell me how can I add a prefix from business attr to an autogenerated number?How to get this number: ABC.0000185268?   <AttributeValues objType="wt.part.WTPart"> <AttrConstraint id="number" algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GatherAttributeConstraints"> <Value algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GetServerAssignedConstraint"/> </AttrConstraint> </AttributeValues>    

Curiosity question for today, is there a simple way to identify the method server a user is connected to? I haven't had a hung MS in a bit, but its always tricky to diagnose who's still connecting to a hung MS before its shutdown.  We run 4 MS on the production server and it would be nice to display the MS ID next to the username in the WC header.

Hi All,When I select Auto Associate Parts to CAD Documents check box while checking in the EPMDocument in Workspace. 2 things will happen.1. if the related part is found in windchill it will attach that part to cad.2. if it doesn't find the related part it will create a new part and attach the part to cad. I have query what is the parameter it will check for searching in windchill i.e if we have 3 WTParts with same name as current EPMDocument --> to which WTPart & on what basis it will attach? 

Is it possible to perform a query string search for TWX Navigate? (e.g. https://www.google.com/search?q=searchedtext)I just wanted to embed a part search copying the content of a label. many thanks

Hello,I don't have access to the Discussion "How to run background task periodically ",https://community.ptc.com/message/472772found in https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Is-there-anyway-to-schdule/m-p/184990#M56259 postWhy i dnot have access to the original topic?I would like to get an access.? Thank you so much for an answer.Best RegardsPetr H. Interesting answer was published in the original discusion:If you wan't to use a time, you need to create a Windchill context : import wt.method.MethodContext import wt.method.RemoteMethodServer import wt.session.SessionContext import wt.session.SessionHelper new MethodContext(null, null) SessionContext.newContext() SessionHelper.manager.setPrincipal("wcadmin") RemoteMethodServer rms = RemoteMethodServer.getDefault() rms.setUserName("wcadmin") rms.setPassword("wcadmin") But as Bjorg said, it's not the best way. In fact, if you have several MS & a BGMS, the thread would run everywhere, and it would probabl

Hi, We are currently going through our digital transformation and the topic of having a technical consultant on standby came up. We are looking for someone who we can leverage when we may need the extra experience or resource.  Have you used a consultant? Who have you used and what has been your experience with them? Anything you don't want to share in public, you can message me directly.  In addition, I would like to push leadership to grow our PLM group. In order to do so, I am interested to know the approximate size of your team in your organization. This includes the PLM members for technical, systems, management, support, etc.   Thanks!

Can I get the user's computer name when logging in to PLM? Thank you in advance

I have multiple products in my Windchill 11.1 M020 CPS20 system. In one product, the designers can rename CAD files and change the Name, Number and File Name with no issues. in a new product added after we upgraded to Windchill 11.1, they cannot rename files. I have checked the ACL lists and they are identical between the 2 products. What else can cause the rename File Name and Number fields to be greyed out.

Looking for a method to set a default value for an alias attribute on a Change Notice object.  Any ideas?

We upgraded WIndchill recently and lost to automatically filling of the name and number to equal the filename with extension.  We had some external script we set up over 10 years ago but no one remembers how it was done.  I have the number synchronized using Windchill preferences but don't know how we scripted the name to be the same as the filename automatically on initial check-in.Searched several posts but didn't see how to so this for Name. Thanks,Ian

I received no responses to this post so I am turning to a bigger audience.  Does anyone have some kind of experience with PA in 12.0.1.2 they can share?  I would love to know if anyone is using PA in Windchill and whether they have the issues I am seeing.   We are going to upgrade to 12.0.2.3 sometime early next year but that is expected to be released December 30 2021.  It was originally supposed to be released December 22 so they moved it.  Probably due to this Log4j security issue.   https://community.ptc.com/t5/Performance-Advisor/Performance-issue-with-PA-Cannot-set-Location/td-p/754433/jump-to/first-unread-message  

Hi team,Suppose your Solr is down for a few minutes (perhaps to restart after fixing the log4j jars). Do changed documents get queued for indexing? Or do the changed documents escape getting indexed? Worse, any added documents could escape being indexed. The workaround, if needed, could be weekend bulk indexing.thanks -- Rick

I've created a repeat region that looks like this.3 instances with 3 varying dimensions.OPTIONABCSTAGEinstance.01---- (fam.inst.name)# (fam.inst.param.value)# (fam.inst.param.value)# (fam.inst.param.value)(fam.inst.param.value)instance.02###instance.03###I have filters in (fam.inst.param.value) that look like this---> &fam.inst.param.name == AI want to filter the dimension value for B and C on instance.02How do I do this?I've tried: &fam.inst.param.value != instance.02&fam.inst.param.name != instance.02This does not remove B and C diameters for this instance.Thanks for any help offered.

Hi,As we know starting Windchill 12.0.1 DS is no longer shipped.Tried to OpenDJ community edition for Windchill 12.0.2 on VM the installation works fine.However the question arises how far is it recommended/safe to use a open source LDAP for customer.Any suggestions appreciated.Regards,Durga
