Windchill

I have custom Change Notice and Change Activity.  During the Activity, I am changing the Notice states based on task being done so that one someone looks at the objects changes, they can quickly see where it is in the process.  The change activity gets set to Resolved or Canceled depending on choices earlier in the process.  I left the code in for the CA Synch on completion but it is not working when the CA completes.  What do I need to look for or do?  I tried to set the CN back to Implementation before finishing the CA.  Windchill 11.1 m020

I have looked at the other Creo View not launching items and it is not the same issue.  I had a user that was able to launch Creo View a few times this morning and then all of a sudden it stopped.  We killed the agent process but that didn't work.  There was no popup for entering credentials.  We tried to uninstall and reinstall Creo View.  I tried to delete temp files and rename the AppData files related to PTC, even a reboot and nothing worked for that user.  However, if I run the browser as an admin under their login, it works.  It created a c:\users directory for the admin so all of the related files were put there.   Windchill 11.1m020cps08

Hello everyone,   I have an issue about uninstalling Workgroup Manager 10.2 M030 CPS-13.  I face this error message when I try to uninstall. WGM was installed on Win 7 then we upgraded to Win 10. Could it be the reason of the issue?

Hello all. Hope you are well. In my company we have created a workflow that will be Routed in ProjectLink. Is a summarized version of a change request so we already know who are the people who will be assigned to all the workflow task. What we want to know is how to hide the "Define Distribution List" page because as is right now the user is able to select who will be assigned for every role and we want to avoid that to keep order. There is a way to do it?   Thanks for reading this post. Luis Chavarria

Is there an option in Windchill, to view the Version of a wt part from the pStructure tab

Anyone with some experience in the ProjectLink module have experience with Update not collecting everything?    We have a Product context with WTParts and WTDocuments that describe them. A WTPart is shared to a Project context while internal users continue working on it in the Product. Inevitably new WTDocuments are associated to the shared WTPart. The version is updated and all and when we go to update the project, the WTPart updates and the new document shows in the structure in the Project but it's not itself shared to the Project like we'd want it to. There's also no option to do additional collections during the update (manual or automatic) so unless we remove share of the WTPart and reshare manually we don't know of a way to just update and have Windchill collect and add the newly added associated documents.    Have any of you run into this before? Any suggestions on what to tweak to get it to share the new associated documents or at least suggest they be coll

Hi All,   I am trying to install Windchill 11.0 M030-CPS11 on Windows 10 machine. I am getting the attached error and the installation is then getting aborted.   I have seen a PTC Case where it was said to run the below command xconfmanager -s wt.db.maxBytesPerChar=3 -t codebase\wt.properties –p But even after the property value got changed the installation is getting aborted. The PSI Installer error is as below   Updating database schema... be patient. Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=128m; support was removed in 8.0 joining with std out thread std out join complete. joining with std error thread std err join complete. AddColumns -u -s process returned non-zero: 1 Installation is Aborting.

When our users rename a EPMDocument, they don't always remember to collect the corresponding WTPart. Is there a setting that can force the system to collect both during a rename?

How to export project plan Gantt chart in Windchill ProjectLink

Is there a way to limit edit access of an attribute to a specific role?  We're considering adding a new attribute on our WTParts, but only certain authorized users should be able to modify this attribute. Is that possible?   The next best way I can think of to manage it would be to have a document subtype that only the authorized users could create and edit, and then they could link that to the WTPart. Is there another way to achieve this kind of data control?

Hello everyone,   I am new to the Windchill community and looking for a bidirectional integration of an ERP-system, which is unfortunately not SAP or Oracle. Additionally I would like to integrate a product configurator, if possible. I would much appreciate, if someone could answer some of the following questions:   1. As of my understanding ESI can only be used for SAP or Oracle integration and the ERP-connector is only unidirectional. Dou you have any tips for a bidirectional integration of smaller systems like the ERP-system by infor? 2. Can I connect other systems like product configurators as long as they can communicate with XML-format messages? 3. Can Windchill handle ERP-typical classification- or effectivity-labels to deal with parts, which are only valid for a given time period? 4. Can Windchill handle genetic parts, which could be used in a genetic BOM (GBOM)?   Thanks for your answers and time in advance!Kind regards Florenz

Hi,   I am looking to know if it is possible to get component data needed for "Prediction -  217Plus, FIDES, MIL-HDBK-217" in Risk&Reliability from component data in Windchill PLM? Up till now we have dedicated parts libraries in the tool but some basic component data could be synced with PLM data.  Is this possible or is the R&R tool standalone ?
