Hi, Would anyone know what windchill setting to change to allow users to create windchill packages (CAD/Technical) and export them?  Our environment currently only allows org admin or higher privileges to create packages.Was hoping that non cad users (purchasing and MFG) that could see the files in windchill would be able to create a package and export it for use outside the Creo Parametric environment.I can fetch a Creo Parametric file to a Creo Parametric workspace but I'm not able to create a package with my user permissions. Any ideas if there's a setting we can change to allow me and others to create packages that contain Creo files without the need of Admins help? Thanks for any help you can provide! Don A  

We typically use this something like this to get the latest rev either in reports or sql. "p.versionsortida2versioninfo = (select max (p1.versionsortida2versioninfo) from wcadmin.wtpart p1 where p1.ida3masterreference = p.ida3masterreference)and p.latestiterationinfo = 1" Does anyone know how to make this work for each view?  The issue comes up when the view revisions are not the same.  For example "part1 Rev A Design view" and "part1 Rev B Service view" excludes the design view.  Anyone know a trick to getting this to work?

Hi All,    My requirement is to send out an Windchill Notification Via Mail before (5day or any set number of days) Prior to the Actual ECN Need date.    Need support on the Same. 

This symbol, seen in your workspace columns, means that changes to a file have been uploaded to the server. How do you reverse this besides removing the modified items from the workspace?  

Hi, can i add some Attributes in Part List under State?

Hi all,       i've tried to call this servlet   POST /Windchill/servlet/odata/IE/InvokeIETask   with this body     { "Task": "com/ptc/windchill/enterprise/report/ExecuteReportTemplate.xml", "Params": [ { "Name": "object_ref", "Value": "wt.query.template.ReportTemplate:6852467828" }} ] }   now I need to change the report criteria directly from the API. I tried to add a parameter but it doesn't seem to work.   For example (but it doesn't works)   { "Task": "com/ptc/windchill/enterprise/report/ExecuteReportTemplate.xml", "Params": [ { "Name": "object_ref", "Value": "wt.query.template.ReportTemplate:6852467828" }, { "Name":"where", "Value":"((Associated Part.Latest Iteration equals 1) AND (Part Master.Number in 1234))" } ] }     Where can I find documentation? what is the correct parameter?

I have a question about fiability in structure tab. I use "show document" with standard action  On a part, I have 3 described documents attach on it.  See below :(same documents on associated objects)     But in a nomenclature with this part attached, I do the same action (show document) on all structure, Only 2 documents are displayed !!   It's very critical to not have the good information here. someone already had the trouble ?   And last test, if in the structure, I show/hide documents of the specific part it works and after I show document of the entire structure in the case it works....   Very Strange ?   Many Thanks   Windchill version : 10.2 M022 CPS25

Hi,    When I trying to add alias attributes subtypes not working but the same work on when created in OOTB types. How to resolve this? Any Ideas Please?

Hi, has anyone out there come up with a good scheme for managing memory in the WVS CAD Worker machines? I run 5 virtual CAD workers on a single VM, which spawns 5 Creo sessions for converting CAD models to Creo View format. Everything is great when it starts, but over time (about a week), each session of Creo will grab up all memory it can until the machine has little to no memory left. We have implemented a new monitoring system here and I get reports about my CAD workers being critically low on available RAM and virtual memory all the time. I'd like to find a way to make them run more efficiently. Considering a weekly restart of the GS Worker Daemon service over the weekend to see if that will help, but I don't think once/week will be enough. Also concerned about stopping and starting the service on the CAD Worker w/o first shutting down the CAD worker from the Worker Admin UI in Windchill.

Hi all We are auditing to see whether the user and group roles are set up correctly. Using QueryBuilder, we can report on the Document record. The 'entryset' field can be deserialized using the java conversionHelper. The deserialized data contains WTGroup ID's.  We use a Python script to substitute group names for the group ID's. All good.   We would like to do the same with Part records. However the entryset field is empty (WC11.0 M030). The other tables which can be joined to Part do not have entryset data either. How can we get WTGroup data for Parts? We think there is entryset data in the Product record, but that seems not very useful.   We would also want this data for drawings and other objects in WC. Thanks Rick  

How to control the numbering order of newly created parts when performing a save as on a part structure when autonumbering is activated - It seems as Windchill creates the parts randomly

Hello Experts,    I have windchill 12 with sqlserver database, i have dropped the existing database and created new one dolling this article: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS28197   I understand that after that i should run PSI and point to newly created database to populate schema and plug in windchill with it, however when i run PSI i dont see any opion that says update existing database or something similar!!, any Idea?   Regards,  Youssef

Hello,   During the design of O&V for a customer, I realized the pain of not having a default "choice" for a given "Option". Every time when trying to simulate the configuration(Action > Configure from the overlaoded bom ), one needs to select the "choice" value for each of the "Option". Else it results in incorrect variant delivery or if the overloaded BOM is huge, it hangs.   I would request the team to consider this new product idea to enhance the O&V feature.   Allow to set default "choice" for a given "option".   Thanks, Raghuram

I am writing a rest service to get users based on a filter. Along with filter I need to fetch the users based on some conditions, and hence need to write a custom hook.   Following is my JSON:   ContextCreations.json     { "name": "ContextCreation", "collectionName": "ContextCreations", "type": "wcType", "wcType": "wt.org.WTUser", "description": "get Users", "operations": "READ", "attributes": [ { "name": "Name", "internalName": "name", "type": "String" }, { "name": "FullName", "internalName": "fullName", "type":"String" }, { "name":"Email", "internalName":"eMail", "type":"String" } ], "actions": [], "navigations": [] }       Following is the .js file (ContextCreations.js)       function readEntityData(processorData){ var customAPI= Java.type('ext.api.CustomAPI'); customAPI.test(); }       We have configured custom domain and its working fine as other POST APIs are working fine. I am calling the above code with http GET a

Hello,   Is it possible to prioritize the view of the BOM when generating ESI response xml. For example, if I have two views of the part, one Design View and one Manufacturing view, and both views' object is added to the change notice resulting objects, publish only Manufacturing view BOM and do not include Design view BOM in the response xml ?   Thanks in advance.   Regards, Sha

Does Windchill 11.1 M020 CPS13 support Cognos 11.1.7 ? Can the customer safely upgrade to Cognos 11.1.7 or does he have to use the version shipped with windchill ?

How does your company treat the end-of-life state?  For example, if a part is matured to the Obsolete state that means that this part should no longer be used in designs.  Assuming that the latest version is matured to Obsolete, what does that mean for previously Released versions?   Are previously Released versions still able to be used in designs?  Do you have to mature ALL previously Released versions to the end-of-life Obsolete state as well?  Or, does your company interpret the Obsolete latest version as applying to ALL previously Released versions?

Hi, Im trying to make a very simple workflow to manage a sort of data submission queue for 3D printing. I need to send an email to the creator of the Document when the queue manager changes the state of the document to "complete", I have the email trigger set up to send to "creator" but that only send to the person changing the state, I cant see an obvious way to send it to the priarybusinessobject "created by" user, how can I get this info and hook it into the workflow notification?

I'm looking to publish Creo drawings to PDF and DXF and publish parts/assemblies to CreoView and STEP... The documentation goes over how to sort by epm-type in the publishing rules but all the "CAD Documents" are of a single epm type. They are further sorted by document category (i.e. "CAD Part" or "Drawing") within the epm type of "CAD Document" but I can figure out if it's possible or not to sort by document category. Anyone been able to do this?Thanks!

Does anyone have the code to republish failed jobs in the publisher queues? There's no OOTB job to do that.

Looking for any ideas/suggestions if its possible to create a "Part Creation Task", similar to what is available in "Windchill Supplier Management", which we do not have available. We would like to have an approval of creation upon submission of "Open>New>New Part" with approve vote creating the WTPart and reject not creating the actual WTPart.
