Windchill

Hi dear Community   My Windchill version is 11.2.Tried to add additional members to CIB during a Change Notice (in a specific product). Under Team there are a lot of predefined Roles (like CA 1, CRB etc.) but there is no CIB and I could not add the CIB role there. The only way I could achieve this is to make a product specific Change Notice Team from Team Templateand change (for the product) the OIR for Change Notice from the default Change Notice Team to my product specific, Change Notice Team. Am I missing something ? This is the right procedure ?   As far as I know CIB decisions are still offline, Change Admin II as chairman conducts the coordination and decides to approve or not the procedure. Is there a way to online inform (through Windchill I mean) the other CIB members ? In order to achieve this must I change the out-of-the box Workflow of Change Notice ?   Thanks in advance

Hi All,   In solidworks I have design with 4-configurations. While CheckIn with auto associate Parts we get only generic CAD associated with WTParts. All Configurations are shown under the family Table. Expectation is to have these configurations should show in EBOM like WTPart Structure. Thanks, Vishvanatha    

We  are excited to be working closely with our PTC Gold Partner, Anark, on Supplier Collaboration.  Anark, whose Core software allows PTC customers to transform their engineering design, manufacturing, and maintenance information into advanced technical content and digital workflows, has posted a number of useful blogs on supply chain collaboration and cybersecurity.        In 'Supply Chain Collaboration: Top Five Strategies', Anark CEO Scott Williams challenges readers to stop doing the same things with supply chain collaboration and become more agile and responsive -  but how, with so many suppliers in the value chain?   To learn how, read 'Supply Chain Collaboration: Top Five Strategies'.

Hi,Looking for ideas to publish objects different from regular publishing output with specific file names.Say if object name with MANF Ex: 12190242-MANF-00A.drw, this need to publish additional or different output from the regular publishing.Let me know.ThanksMurthi

I was wondering if there is a permission that I can give users so they can see the part numbers in a Windchill Product, but not be able to open them?   We have Government documents that can't be accessible to all employees, so we have them in a separate Product. However this creates a bit of an issue when a person outside of the product searches for a part number, they get no return. So they think possibly it doesn't exist and try to use the part number. Then when they go to Check-In, it obviously says the number is not unique.   So I want it to still show up in searches, but they don't have read or write access to it. In Windows permissions its called LIST, didn't know if that existed in Windchill or not. Thanks

 #Case 15806656 Description: During Solr index rebuild process,  sometimes, there is error error "Connection timed out: connect" throws from solrserver-stderr log. And Customer found that this Monday, Solr Admin Page can't access. Then restart Solr Server will makes Solr Server active again. Customer have 1500,000+ items need to rebuild. Bulk index process is keep running for 10 days, currently, still 300,000 items waiting in BulkIndex Queue   Questions: 1. Customer need to know why Solr Server can not be connected after quite long time bulk indexing process. 2. Is it issue about network or memory insufficient?   Uploaded the logs. Thanks!    

Is there a possibility to add the "Add to Managed Collection" Action to the Product Structure Actions? It seems like there has to be a different Action than the one in the More Actions Model.   Anyone got an Idea about that?    

Is there a Possibility to export an xlsx Table or anything similar from the Managed Collections Table? From every other Table view you can export the data into an excel sheet. Heres the Table Export for the Packages Content Table: This would be a very useful tool if such an export would be possible from the Managed Collections.    

Hi All,   Can we all know through an SQL Query or a procedure the list of all blocking sessions in PLM which is blocking other processes to wait or run lately?   In case if this cannot be done through DB can we do it through any other means.    

Hello,   There is a requirement where I have to introduce RTM Workflow as a sub-process for a Change Activity workflow so that the publishing will happen as part of Change Activity instead of Change Notice. Please let me know the accommodations or changes needed to achieve the above requirement. I am fairly new to ESI process, so any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks in advance.   Regards, Sha

Hello,   I have a requirement where I need to go to Change Notice workflow from the Change Activity workflow when it is at a certain point. When a particular robot is executed in the change notice workflow, the flow should again go back to the Change Activity workflow. Is there any other way to achieve the above scenario without using the Sync robot ?.    Thanks, Sha

Hello all,   I am thinking to install additional languages in Windchill to my English base language installation. I was wondering if any out there is managing Windchill in a multi-language environment? Any feedback (pro/cons)? What are the advantages to install the multi-language pack? Any documentation out there for functionalities against the multi-language pack installed?   Thanks!

For our Windchill Visualization Services, we are using Afterloader (AfterEDRloader3) hook method to rename visualization files to PartNumber_Revision based on attribute values.   This method is identified in: Article - CS252900 - Windchill PDMLink: An example Afterloader hook method to add the attribute value from the viewable files to the name of output Additional File Types   This works very well for EPM Docs pushed from Commonspace and message ""AfterEDRloader starts: Checking if object is EPMDoc: appears in WVS Job Monitor log file when method completes.   Now we want to leverage client side preprocessing of visualization files per: Article - CS21380 - How to edit Client-side Recipe configuration used by Creo Parametric and the Workgroup Manager clients during Windchill Custom Check-in of "Models and Viewables"   However, the Afterloader hook method fails to rename the visualization files when sent to WVS CAD Worker and message "A

Hello,   We have an environment where we are trying to connect to Windchill 11.0. Windchill is setup in SSL mode and we connecting through HTTPS proxy.   We are using standalone application to Query a part, using SimpleTaskDispatcher and InfoEngine API's. Windchill application certificate is also added in the truststore.   Below is sample code :   IeConnectionFactory f1 = new IeConnectionFactory();IeConnectionSpec connSpc = new IeConnectionSpec(); connSpc.setUserName(userName);connSpc.setPassword(password);connSpc.setProperty("ConnectionURL",url + "/servlet/SimpleTaskDispatcher" );   javax.resource.cci.Connection windchillConnection = f1.getConnection(connSpc );WindchillDAO dao = new WindchillDAO(windchillConnection);dao.Query("wt.part.WTPart", " name = TestPart ", null, new String[]{"*"});   We have set below JAVA_OPTS : 1) https.proxyHost 2) https.proxyPort 3) https.nonProxyHosts   We are getting below exception  :   javax

Hi,       I would like to retrieve CAD/Dynamic documents from a WTPart (OR:wt.part.WTPart:51xxx). With this API I can retrieve both Described, References and Representations but I cannot retrieve a CAD Document. /Windchill/servlet/odata/ProdMgmt/Parts('OR:wt.part.WTPart:6676583881')?$expand=DescribedBy($expand=DescribedBy),References($expand=References),Representations I would like to retrieve a .PRT (VR:wt.epm.EPMDocument:63xxx) from the OID of the wtpart. is this possible? Thank you

Hi all, It looks as if domain.com/Windchill/QBReportItemProperties should have QueryBuilder info but I get a 404. It is linked from Is QBReportItemProperties something that I should install? Is there a config item so I could point it at some actual content? WC 11.0 M030 CPS18 Thanks -- Rick

I have one typical requirement where I would to call api to generate representation but not thumbnail.   Right now I am using doPublish() api to generate viewable/representation but I do not see any option or parameter to disable thumbnail generation..    PTC Tech support said, we can disable thumbnail generation at system level but there is no way to disable for particular scenarios or thru API.   But I believe there might be having some other API or some kind of parameter in doPublish() to disable thumbnail generation..   If any one of you have any idea, please let me know.   Thanks, Shyam.    

Is there a command line utility to export Global Organizers and Global Attribute definitions? I thought for sure that there was but I'm unable to find it.Patrick Williams | Engineering Systems | c: 616.947.2110[cid:image001.jpg@01CE2571.9CA95BC0]

Two observations:   1.)  The link at the top right side of the page probably isn't going where intended.  It's just getting routed to the community homepage instead of this board, which is where I'm guessing it's supposed to go. Current address:  https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill-Performance-Advisor/gp-p/2084 Correct address:  https://community.ptc.com/t5/Performance-Advisor/bd-p/performanceadvisor   2.)  Something is wacky with this graph.  What is displayed doesn't seem to match the underlying data.  Seems like missing values should just be white and the blue portion should only be 46% of the circle.
