Windchill

Hi There, We are planning to move from Windchill PDM Essentials 11.1 M020 (since this has no more support since January 2023)  to   Windchill PLM 12.1.2.1 We plan to provide/implement a "Disaster Recovery" during this fresh install/upgrade Is there any document to guide us through the exact steps + the architecture involved in this? We intend to use a SQL Server database and the in-built HTTPD web server. Thank youRaj    

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: After Revise the new Rev isn't showing as latest Description: I am testing an upgrade to Windchill 13 and have this weird issue where after a Revise, the new revision isn't showing as latest.  Anyone with any ideas?    

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Need to delete old representations. DeleteRepUtil could be used, but how to find the input OIDs for it.Description: Does anyone have a report or query to list "Copied from" representations on EPMDocuments and preferably their OIDs to be used as input for the DeleteRepUtil on the server? I'm looking to delete also old "Derived from" to restore disk space and there's some handy report provided by PTC, but I noticed that didn't pick the "Copied from" (which would be more important to get rid of as it's incorrect data on the object..). We use WTParts, just mentioning as I learned that may affect how the reports work.

Hello,I am working on an integration project and I need to perform the following actions using Windchill OData REST APIs:Create a new WTDocument.Update attribute values (IBA/Soft Attributes) of existing WTDocuments.Link (Associate) the created WTDocument to an existing WTPart (e.g., as a Described By or Reference link).Could you please guide me on which standard Domains (e.g., ProdMgmt) and Endpoints I should use for these specific operations? Is it possible to achieve the linking process within the same transaction or does it require a separate API call?Any examples or documentation references would be appreciated.Best regards.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: How to export structure report with cad documents? Including level information? Multi-level report. If it is via custom table builder with custom action . Guide me how to achieve this. If you have any implementation , it would be great if you can share?Description:  

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: For one context, the users do not need to see a few document sub-types or a change type. Hide that option from just that one context.Description: I have solved this before with an OIR for that object that calls out a none existing Lifecycle. It has worked but now for some reason, It does not. Granted, I do not understand HTML so perhaps I have this formatted incorrectly.<!-- set the lifecycle --><AttrValue id="lifeCycle.id" algorithm="com.ptc.core.foundation.lifecycle.server.impl.LifeCycleTemplateAttributeAlgorithm"><Arg>nope</Arg></AttrValue></AttributeValues>

Wondering who has implemented this?I did at one med device to allow pre-production CAD items to be promoted to Production when no data had changed if they provided appropriate supporting (validation) documents in the change. Why:Forcing a revision creates work that is not needed for the data authors and approvers.We use the same rev scheme and we can watermark / stamp (cover page) to show the effectivity and state.

Is it normal that Windchill does not consider Object Initialization Rules (or Access Control List) at all when creating parts with edit associations or auto associate? Or do I just have some kind of configuration issue? I have hidden some subtypes of parts in different organizations and contexts from the part creation drop down menu by defining a non-existing lifecycle template in the OIR of those types that I want to hide.When I'm creating a part in Commonspace or Workspace, the OIR is checked before showing what types I can create and the dropdown list of type selection filters out the ones that I cannot create:  But when I'm using "Edit associations" or "Auto associate" on an existing CAD document, it seems that Windchill just shows *all* subtypes which have "Instantiable" flag on and doesn't consider the context-specific OIR.Auto associate: And same thing with "Edit associations":  I can create and associate any of those types of parts in Workspace.

Hi.Is it possible to add Standard or Global attribute fro WTUser?In my case only Alias and Calculated are available.Thanks.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: When trying to create a new or edit / view a life cycle template as either org admin or site admin, I just get a please wait spinning circle.Description: I have been able to view the life cycle templates before on this server. We are in the process of upgrading our version so I have an installation on a test server where I can view and edit the life cycle. I have compared the Policies all contexts and rules and verified the administrator setup it all looks the same. Is there something else that could be keeping me from editing the life cycle?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.0.0The visualization of the index file from a ZIP of a Delivery associated to a Package displays a partially duplicated tree.Recreation of a new Delivery reproduce the issue similirally but not on the same level according to value selected for "Language of the offline viewer".Objects of the first part are incomplete, their numbers being different according Language as well.The second part contains the correct number of objects.The operation is correct for other packages' deliveries so it is possibly linked to data itself.Here are the errors that I facedSERE0014: Illegal HTML character: decimal 144

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.1 and Datecode with CPS 13.1.2.0During an update from Windchill 12.0 to Windchill 13.1.2 I had an issue with compiling a java file.import com.ptc.wpcfg.pdmabstr.PROEDependency; is used in the file but it's not recognised by Eclips.The class should be availeble in DDLBasic.jar. Is it moved or deleted (com.ptc.wpcfg.pdmabstr)? Do I neet to use something different?I have a workaround, the variable is used once and should be a constant value, but that is not a clean solution.

I am using Windchill MPMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.1.3Bonjour, comment exporter de Windchill, la structure de gamme, avec les opérations associées et les articles associés au format Excel ou CSV ?

I am using Windchill MPMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.1.3Is it possible to export a Control Characteristic associated to a Part? Either within a TechnicalData Package, Replication Package, or as a Part export? I have been reviewing functionality,documentation, and code to see whether a Control Characteristic can be exported - ideallywith the associated part, but also by itself - and I haven't been able to find a way. Is thistheoretically or actually possible within current Windchill MPMLink functionality?Here are the errors that I facedWhen creating a zip package for deliver to PTC Windchill the Exclusion Reason is "Object is not supported for PTC Windchill format option".

I am using Windchill MPMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.3Hello,We are using PartsLink and would like to know if there is a way to automatically propagate classification attributes from a design view to manufacturing and service views.Ideally, when an attribute of an item in the design view is modified (for example, the color changes to red), we would like this attribute to be automatically updated in the service and manufacturing views.Changes to attributes in the design view currently generate a significant amount of obsolescence, which is only visible through the BOM transformer or a specific report.In our company, service and manufacturing views are used to manage different structures, but we do not manage attribute differences.Thank you for your help.

I'm exploring configurable links for change management. Can you walk me through your approach to linking WTParts with Change Notices, especially:- how the custom link type was defined,- how you automated link creation when parts are added to Affected Objects, and- how you exposed these links so users can see which products have running changes?Any implementation tips would be very helpful.   Reference topic: Solved: What is the use of configurable links in windchill... - PTC Community
