Unable to map into Windchill a User Defined Attribute coming from Creo Elements/Direct Modeling. Is there a way to set the WTPart attribute?

Hi, Anyone know what setting might need to be changed to allow the Windchill Workgroup Manager interface for Solidworks to create a drawing for a part or assembly file under the same part number? We are receiving the following error message that the drawing is not unique. Funny thing is if I rename the Solidworks part file in the workspace to a different file name and then rename it back to the original file name. The drawing is then allowed to be created with the same part number as the part file. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks for any help you can provide, Don A  

Hi, I'm trying to construct an URL to be used from a mapkey in Creo Parametric as a direct link to classification explorer (Partslink) in Windchill.  I'm not equipped with the knowledge to figure this out by myself, perhaps some of the gurus in the community can give me some pointers.   So far I've tried: http://<WindchillHost>/Windchill/app/#netmarkets/jsp/search/classificationExplorer.jsp This works in some cases, not stable at all, gives no info about the overall session.   BR    

Just a reminder that we are running a survey on your transition from legacy Change links to Flexible Change Associations.  We introduced the Flexible Change Associations in 11.0 with tools to help transition from the legacy to new links including being able to run in Mixed mode where anything new is Flexible Mode and your older running processes can complete in Legacy mode (to be converted once complete)   In the next major release of Windchill our goal is to remove support for the Legacy links - the survey is to understand and gain your feedback as to where you are in the process.  Thank you for your input - the link to the survey is:   Flexible Change Association Survey   We plan to close the survey on May 31st

During new PLM part creation is there any option where if I select commodity type all attributes should populate automatically for that new PLM part. This will save so much of time if user creating bulk part numbers.   Please help if there is such option available ?

How does Windchill identify pending change and resulting change in ESI transactions? Checked the XML of the ESI transaction but there's no CRs or CNs in it. How else can we stop MRP/ERP buying or manufacturing low revisions?

I searched for navigate 9.1 Install guide via Reference Files Search. When I opened English link for it, Navigate 9.2 Install guide opened. 9.2 is not released yet and installation is very different that 9.1. https://www.ptc.com/en/support/refdoc/ThingWorx_Navigate/9.1/Navigate_Installation_Configuration_PDF?&art_lang=en&posno=3&q=&DocumentType=Reference%20Document&Product=ThingWorx%20Navigate&Release=9.1&source=search    Please correct the link.

My reading of the Windchill Customization Guide guide tells me that the siteMod folder under wtSafeArea is intended for modifications to all OOTB file. Can anyone share with me a good reason why we would store all (OOTB modified files + custom new files) in this location? To me it's a mess. This folder is there for the upgrade process to read and generate the required file updates for OOTB files,    Before I launch a campaign with my team to clean this up, please let me know if there is actually a good reason, benefit to keeping your files this way. My stance otherwise is we move all non-OOTB files out of there and shift the focus to improving our GIT repo management habits.   From the Windchill Customization Guide page 102: support.ptc.com/WCMS/files/171950/en/11_0_M20_WindchillCustomizationGuide.pdf   The following summary describes the purpose of each subdirectory: siteMod – contains the site version of each PTC file that you have modified andwant to

We have a document template stored at the Org level. Is it possible to route such a document for approvals? The idea is to control the template itself.    Has anyone done something similar?

This is the first time I am trying to use a proxy process.  I am trying to use it in a change activity workflow so that it doesn't get so messy.  I have an expression robot getting information from the parentChangeOrder before a user task that uses a variable that gets it's value from the expression robot.  If I avoid the proxy process all is good and it does not error out.  Once I go down the path of the proxy, it will execute the last process before the proxy and then give an error that seems to point to the variable parentChangeOrder.  However none of the code has syntax errors when I check.  I do have the parentChangeOrder in both the activity workflow and the proxy workflow (and actually started without it in the proxy).  Is the proxy process supposed to have a sync robot in the beginning?  PTC documentation isn't much help.  We are on 11.1.   ERROR [WfPropagationQueue.PoolQueueThread-211] WF_EXEC_EXPR Administrator - compile - OUT

Hi All, I can get change request using this rest service GET : "/Windchill/servlet/odata/ChangeMgmt/ChangeRequests('OR:wt.change2.WTChangeRequest2:250300')?$expand=AffectedObjects", but I want to get this OID "OR:wt.change2.WTChangeRequest2:250300" from WTpart which should be navigate.   - Tried with this api but can't get change request object id. GET : "/Windchill/servlet/odata/ChangeMgmt/Changeables('OR:wt.part.WTPart:262627')?$expand=AffectedByObjects" Can anybody help to get this change object, is there any Windchill rest API?   Thanks.

I have a WTPart object handle and I want to get the representations from it. With the following code I am facing an error from code Representation representation = (Representation) reps.nextElement(); Failed. class wt.viewmarkup.DerivedImage cannot be cast to class wt.representation.Representation (wt.viewmarkup.DerivedImage and wt.representation.Representation are in unnamed module of loader 'app')   public ArrayList getDefaultRep(WTPart part) throws ApplicationException { ArrayList repsList = new ArrayList(); EPMDocument epmDoc = null; //WTPart part = null; WTDocument document = null; Representable representable = null; ReferenceFactory factory = new ReferenceFactory(); Representation newReturnRepresentation = null; com.ptc.wvs.common.ui.VisualizationHelper vizHelper = new com.ptc.wvs.common.ui.VisualizationHelper(); try { representable = vizHelper.findRepresentable(part); if (representable != null) { QueryResult reps = vizHelper.getRepresentations(representable); System.o

Hello  I have a strange issue that suddenly popped up without warning. I cannot anymore publish Creo drawings to PDF. I cannot even choose to publish them manually in Windchill even, the choice when creating a representation is not there anymore. This has been working beautifully before and just gave up with nothing being changed in the publisher config recently ( in the last 5 months). There is an error in the logs: 2021-05-04 15:41:37,959 ERROR [ajp-nio-127.0.0.1-8010-exec-221] wt.wvs.publish.PublishRulesHelper User name - No <authoring-application> with name=PROE     Has anybody encountered a problem like this before?   Thanks.

Our customer noticed occasionally when he and his team would create new comments on existing topics in Windchill the incorrect topic would generate in the new comment window.  He asked us, the IT staff, to see if we could determine the issue.  We reviewed the issue and ran through several test to determine that when there is more than one space between numbers in the Topic name that is when the issue occurs.  The resolution we provided was to take out any extra spaces between numbers in the topic names.  However, we aren't sure if this is a realistic expectation and wanted to reach out to PTC to see if they are working on a resolution to this issue.   Here is a little more detail, when right clicking a topic (IE - TEST 5   6789) to create a new comment.  In the new comment window, the topic pre-selected from the drop-down is (4th   TEST) rather than (TEST 5   6789).  They are able to change it to (TEST 5   6789)

I'm looking to either customize the OOTB  multilevel Components List report such that it includes assemblies, subassemblies, and 'components', or to create a new report that can do this I looked into Query Builder and it cannot create a recursive BOM and have searched all the forums but all I've found is a feature request for this.  Any help would be appreciated.  

  Customer has purchased only one license. Since Administrator user is consuming one license ,unable to allocate license for customer. Is there a license exclusion list/group to avoid consuming license by Administrator ?.What is the process?

We are storing some Electronic Control Unit configuration files in a WTDocument for version control as they will be physically loaded onto the ECU at the end of the production line. The problem we have at the moment is the file itself has the version in the file name ie 123456_v1.s19 but when the Document is revised it carries the primary content forward, so we end up with a document revision and primary content revision not matching. So the suggestion from the users manging these files is to remove the content after revising, of course this is not ideal as its not guaranteed they will do it and its extra steps to do it.   So Im sure somebody can write me a fancy customisation to do it, but is there a more simple way to acheive the same end result: No primary content on a new Revise?

Hi there,   if I want to upgrade an existing installation from Windchill Essentials 11.1 M010 to 11.1 M020, do I only have to run WindchillSetup.exe and have to choose "Installation for Upgrade" (Let's assume that WinDU has found no problems)?   Cheers Mat

Hi All,Can anyone tell me the SQL Query to get all the IBA names of an object type ?Say for WTPart or for its subtypes if we wish to get all the IBA's of that object type how will we get it ? Can anyone tell me that SQL query so that I will run once in SQL Developer and see the same.Thanks in advance.Best Regards,Aditya Achanta

Hello to all, I'm trying to set up a color code search to view the life cycle states of my Windchill WT PARTs in Creo View. As you can see in the Windchill structure (in image 1) the WTPARTs are in state: Encoded, Approved and Study. In Creo View I set the search with the part_lifeCycleState attribute and also tried with part_lifeCycleName (image 2). Maybe I am doing something wrong in setting this query because I have no result. Could you tell me the correct way?   Thanks, Matteo.

There is a part's supersedes features available at Windchill Apps. But we need the REST API to retrieve this info, this is especially important for integration between different PLM systems. 

Has anyone noticed that I.P. is not available to be selected from the "Customize" button in version 12?  We have a custom page for our users and that is the first one on the page.   This is version 11.0 M030   Version 12.0.1.1

Hi Experts, I am trying to get resulting Objects added to the change task before they are persisted to the database, as I am trying to put a constraint on the resulting object. I want only the resulting object having design view to be permitted and if other parts are added it should not allow him to create the change notice. So is there a way I can get the resulting object before they are persisted.

I got this request from a partner who asks if there is anyone in PTC or Partner community who implemented a 2 steps verification of Windchill authentication? The process is something like: The user submits his credentials The systems sends an SMS with a OTP or asks to enter one generated by a mobile app The system asks to enter the OTP before letting the user access the system I don't think we support anything OOTB, but maybe someone integrated a third party solution workiing with Windchill or our SSO architecture supporting this process.
