When this was working properly miss-spelled words were suggested with the correct spelling, but now the suggestions are miss-spelled or foreign language or just nonsense.  

What is the intended purpose of the “Supplier Life Cycle State” Supplier is set to state = Cancelled Still findable and more worse selectable? Why can it be searched for and still be selected and assigned? at MPN creation:

Hello, please tell me how I can make checkout EPMDocument using OData REST API?

I have a workflow that is used on almost all of our parts.  One of the functions of this workflow is to set the states of the promoted items.  It works correctly a majority of the time.  Sometimes though, it doesn't.  The windchill logs seem to tell me that the workflow is trying to set state on items in a user's workspace which of course it can't.  I don't know why it is even looking at workspaces. We have tried multiple things to fix this. The following code is what we use to set state of the promoted items depending on document type (wtpart, epmdocument, wtdocument).  IMPLEMENTATION is a valid state for the promoted items.   wt.lifecycle.LifeCycleHelper.service.setLifeCycleState(theLatestPart, wt.lifecycle.State.toState("IMPLEMENTATION"),false); wt.lifecycle.LifeCycleHelper.service.setLifeCycleState(theLatestPart, wt.lifecycle.State.toState("IMPLEMENTATION"),false); wt.lifecycle.LifeCycleHelper.service.setLifeCycleState(theLatestDoc, wt.lifecy

I am having a strange issue with publishing Office Word documents that contain an A3. It is happening on one system and cannot be reproduced by PTC. We are using Office 365 and using the MS Office to publish NOT Adobe. The recipe is OOTB and worker is installed on Windchill server. Publishing seems to work fine for all word documents except the ones containing an A3 page. I am attaching a sample doc that fails publishing.

I'm on 11.1 m020.  I am trying to set up a change notice to show some users.  Originally the change notice and change activity were not instaniable.  I turned these on.  Now I can create a Notice and a Task, add Affected Objects to the task, but it will not allow for adding Resulting Objects.  Anyone ever run into this?

We are looking to pulling/integrate additional attributes (job title, department, and company) from Active Directory into Windchill user attributes.  We have tried to map these attributes in the Info*Engine JNDI Adapter, but have had no luck getting the data into Windchill.  We are on version 11.1 M020 CPS16.   We also tried to follow CS162357 without any luck as well.   Thanks, Craig

Hi,It's that time of year again when 1-1=0.I use the Get_Month - 1 calculation to capture the work items created last month.Problem is in January the month = 1For some reason 1 minus 1 does not equal 12...Has anyone a better way to get a criteria for 'last month'?This goes into a Cognos report, so I'm not able to use the 'last month' attributes when running the report with Report Builder

Hello, I'm posting on the off chance that someone else has encountered this and has a fix.  I am trying to get the WTPartCreator tool to work.  I have it so that just one object is being processed before moving on to bigger chucks of data.  No matter what object number I choose, it will not create a wtPart and if I already have the wtPart in the database it will not connect the two.   The error that I get is: (wt.series.seriesResource/2) wt.series.SeriesException: The revision value is not valid within the series: 1, series=DefaultNested exception is: The revision value is not valid within the series: 1, series=Default   Anyone run across this before and have a solution? Thank you

Hello,   I wonder if "Security Labels" can be configured and set for Windchill "Folders" as well? And if yes, how can that be configured?   Best regards Partho  

Hi everybody ! I am very new to this forum & very beginner to windchill 10.1.Is this possible to add constraint to an attribute through program.(ex. SingleValuedConstraint, LegalValueList)

Hi all The resources-for-reporting page is a great help to me: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill-Tips/Resource-for-reporting/m-p/448738   However the links to the ptcuser site are broken, and according to the comments at the bottom they might have been broken for a long time. I thought I could find topics in ptcuser by searching, but no luck with that. It seems a shame to loose all that good content, there are 105 references to ptcuser in the page.  Two solutions, which one is workable?: locate each article in ptcuser and copy it into a ptc support article change ptcuser.org so the links resolve to the articles thanks -- Rick

Hi all Is it possible to grant a user partial admin privileges? A user would like to use QueryBuilder just so they can get some understanding of the Tables and fields in the DB. But I don't want to grant full admin privileges.   thanks -- Rick

I have a open case on this but felt I should share with the field.  We use substitute links on our BOMs to denote replacements of parts in the context of a specific assembly.  When you create a substitute link, you are forced to check out the BOM, create the link and then check it in.  Understand that the substitute link is between a Part and a line item on a BOM.  We discovered that if a substitute part has no other where used, you are able to delete that part without any referential integrity exception. The part and its substitute link will be deleted.     This means if you have a released BOM sitting there for years with substitutes, its possible to at a later time, delete the substitute parts from PDMLink. The resulting BOM will show as if those subs never existed at all.  I was informed this was "working to spec" but disagree. This was with 11.1 but I know it had existed in previous versions.  What are your thoughts? Bug? Design flaw? E

PTC's example uses OpenDJ Community Edition. https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS337554 This software hasn't been maintained since 2017. https://forgerock.github.io/opendj-community-edition/ I'm guessing companies will have a problem with this from a security perspective.  What are others planning to do for production and non-production systems: buy OpenDJ commercial version or use OpenLDAP, ApacheDS, Active Directory, other? I would like to use something that is platform agnostic so Active Directory isn't at the top of my list. After a quick search, I didn't find a windows flavor of OpenLDAP.  Maybe I just didn't search hard enough... I'm looking into Apache Directory Studio with the embedded ApacheDS, last updated December 2020.  I've been using its LDAP browser with ADS and WDS for years.  Didn't realize ApacheDS (Directory Server) was embedded.  I can also setup ApacheDS standalone and use Apache Directory Studio from another computer.  Seems fle

Hi Team,   If the source system is 9.x and if the target system is 11.x should we choose Migration or upgrade ?   I understand migration is not supported across 9.x to 11.x but should we prefer upgrade ? and if migration has to be done how do we migrate from 9.x to 11.x ?   How do we opt between Migration or Upgrade ?

Hello everyone,  I know that IBA attributes are only visible in result table if: I select only one type or I added a criteria on an attributes (but the only attribute visible is those used in criteria) This is not enough for my client (he has Windchill 11.0), he wants all attributes always displaied as result of the search; so i wondering if: I have to create a custom action on the search result table ?  In Windchill 11.2 there will be this possibility ?   Thank you   Giorgio Fontana  

Hi all,    For those of you running the AfterEDRLoader (as are we), is there a way to have it apply different naming rules to data in different contexts? As far as I can tell, it works globally so the answer is no?     For example: Product A Published pdf name = filename_version.pdf Product B Published pdf name = filename_Rev-revision.pdf https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS216668 https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS252900

Hello everyone,   Currently in our Windchill system (WGM 11.1), rename preferences inherited directly from the organization level context, and I could not see those preferences at product level context. So I would like to know if there is any possibility to see or transfer there preferences from Organization level to product level context.   e.g.  All the below mentioned settings are at Organization level (Value set - Unchanged), but I cannot see these attributes at product level context.   Default setting for File NameDefault setting for NameDefault setting for Number   Well, requirement for us is that one of our product owner wants to control this preferences from product level context. Name and File name should be "Same as Number" instead "Unchanged", and Number field value should remain same as "Unchanged". But I could not see these attributes (Organization--> Rename) at product level context neither I can set it via OIR. I do use intralink administratio

Hello all, I hope you are well and safe.   Anyone of you knows how to make Windchill show only the users from a role in the routing tab, while creating a task, in a workflow? What I want is that the routing events showns  the name of the people assigned to a specific role, so I only have to change the users in the "Team" Context and automatically the workflow will update and show the users available to assing the next task.  Is this possible using some Jaca script?   I was thinking in another option: restrict the users available to re assign a task base on role, so the responsible user of the current task will see, in the re assign list users, the users that belong to a specific role only. Is this possible to?   I will like to thanks in advance to any who read this post. Luis Chavarría
