Good morning i'm SeonHo   i have question about external access ..   Windchill is said to be web-based.Web-based means that you can access from outside if you have a valid account or privilege. However, it can only be accessed within the network where the Windchill installed server is located.In order to allow external access, all of the firewalls are released, port 80 is opened, and port forwarding is set to internal IP installed with Windchill. When you access Windchill, the PTC logo and login pop-up appear, but after logging in, an error is displayed and you can not access Windchill. I tried external access through a reverse proxy, but this was also possible only on the internal network.I would like to access Windchill even when using an external network due to my business trip, not my internal network. Let me know how to configure it Please tell us which section of the document you need to refer to or how to access it externally.   Thank you.

PS: Same thing for Creo.I attach an image of the preferences Thanks,Matteo.

I have this action configured:       {          "name":"InitiateApprovalProcess",          "description":"Initiate the approval process",          "parameters":[             {                "name":"ChangeNotice",                "type":"ChangeNotice",                "isNullable":false,                "isCollection":false             },             {          

Hi,   We installed a trial of the batch printing service but we found the drawings are printed in no particular order (just the order they appeared in the batch print job). Is there any way to automatically order the drawing prints - for example as they appear in the BoM structure?   Normally, the consumer would just view the drawings online, on Windchill, and print their own copies when they need but in this particular case we're required to provide hard-copies sorted into the order the appear in the structure. Can anyone share how they deal with mass printing of drawings/documents for hardcopy distribution?   How do others deal with the batch prints, we could end up sending hours sorting through the prints and organizing them so we need to find a way to automate.   Regards Rob

We noticed that amended quantities in Inventor BoM don't transfer over to the WTPart structure. In the example below the qty of M0030387 has been modified in assembly but the WTPart BoM shows the qty of model occurrences (2) instead of the desired qty (13). Has anyone come across this before?   Regards Rob

Access control. Those two words alone can send the heartiest of men into a fit of tears when faced with trying to debug issues related to them. Tracking down why someone does or does not have access to something in Windchill can be downright tedious. Anytime you enable the wt.access.evaluation.* loggers you can pretty much expect to have to sift through a "War and Peace"-length log to get to the bottom of it.Below is a mini-tutorial/demonstration on how to potentially troubleshoot access control issues where permission has been denied. Similar techniques can be used in other scenarios.The following demonstrates an issue where a normal user needs to be able to modify team templates on the Team Administration page, but we don't know what permissions are needed for this action.Start out by enabling the wt.access.evaluation.* logging (wt.access.evaluation.report, wt.access.evaluation.policyACL, wt.access.evaluation.securityLabels, and wt.access.evaluation.events set to ALL). This is done i

Is there any config to make WVS publish rules language independed in Windchill 11.1?   I wanted to make a simple condition for released drawings and i noticed, that the attribute doctype and the lifeCycleState are language dependend. When i publish a drawing out of an english Windchill web interface, the docType is Drawing, when you do it from a german interface it is Zeichnung. The lifeCycleState is even more strange to me: The value is always in german (Freigegeben), independed from the Windchill user language and the Creo language settings. (I added the english one just to make sure it will work in other conditions i haven't tested..) I have also checked the resource bundles for errors in  translations, but it seems allright. In the Windchill interface the the translations are correct regarding to the chosen user language.   Workaround i found so far: Instead of checking the docType i can use the filename extension. <condition name="drawing_released"> <and&

I am trying to link a "Workflow Process" to its Change Task.  I can't get it to show the Task information.   This is what I have so far. Do I need to have an intermediate link to something else?   I am trying to link the Task to the Workflow Process.  The reason I need the Workflow Process is some of our workflows were not fully completed.  It's due to someone not taking something into account when creating the workflow.  I have a situation where the ECN shows Resolved, the Task shows as Resolved but the status of the Workflow Process still shows as Running in the Routing/Process History table. I am trying to create a report with a criteria that says the Status of the process is Running but the ECN Task is Resolved.   I can get the report to show the Workflow Process but I can't get it to show the ECN Task.  The columns are blank for the Task Name and Number.

HI All, I want to know what is the best practice to manage Manufacturing BOM derived from Engineering BOM.   Requirement : Derive MBOM from EBOM based on the 'Source' attribute on child part. i.e. if child part source is 'MAKE' then that child part not required in MBOM, if source is 'BUY' child part is required in MBOM Structure.   Background: Since we wanted to have different source information on the child part based on the EBOM, we have added source information on 'Part Usage Link', such a way it would be different from one EBOM to another EBOM. This is fine for until we had difference on the first level of the child structure, coming to sub child part, [since usage link is on parent and it's child not on top level parent(i.e. EBOM)] we came across a situation where sub child part also need to have separate source based on the EBOM.   EXAMPLE: In our scenario we mostly get our parts from different plant [Source is considered as 'Make'], in our plant if any child

We are using a 7 digit string for our document numbers and 10 for parts (3 character prefix followed by 7 digit string). Our numbers jumped from the the hundreds, 0000942 for instance, to the ten thousands, 0010943. The numbering was set to be sequential and was working fine until we noticed one day it skipped far ahead. Is there a way we can rest the numbering so we can use numbers 0001000 thru 0009999, roughly? We haven't been able to find where this setting is in order to fix it or even track down how/why it occurred. Thanks for the help.

Hello all, I'm having a problem to select file for publishing in java code. I want to publish EpmDocument with selected one file from publish rule from java code as do it using Windchill New Representation Wizard! A new job and a new representation is created, but without any file, and it seems that adding user selections doesn't work! Does anyone have any idea how to do it? Here is my source code:   String objRef = ObjectReference.newObjectReference(element).toString(); Publisher pub = new Publisher();List<PublishParams> params = pub.getPublishParams(objRef);for (PublishParams aParam : params) {     ArrayList<AdditionalFile> selectedFiles = new ArrayList<>();     if (aParam.getAdditionalFiles() != null) {          for (AdditionalFile aFile : aParam.getAdditionalFiles()) {               if ("xv3".equals(aFile.getOutputPrefix())) selectedFiles.add(aFile);    &n

Hi,  I'm trying to determine the below as part of a WIN10 upgrade project that encompasses multiple applications, can anyone assist: Is PTC Creo View Express v3.0 R01 vendor supported when virtualised in Microsoft AppV 5.1 on Windows 10 1909? If it is no longer supported for the above version then please can you advise which version is and if there is an upgrade path? Any assistance is much appreciated Thanks Mark

I am searching for a possibility to export a list of the objects (WTParts, EPM, WTDoc) in windchill with there object nummer and there actuall version into a spreadsheet. It would helpful if you give me a function keyword or something like that, at the moment I am limited by the maximum number of object I can display (2000).

Hello everybody,   we have ~15.000 files (.pdf/.zip) which we like to import into our Windchill 11.0 M030 system. The upload and the manually setting of the correct version we already can do by our own. The missing last step is the link between the existing WTParts and the new added WTDocs as "described by" documents (version depending). Is there a way to use a spreadsheet which connects the filename with the WTPart Number (materialnummer), maybe with interim step adding the document numbers to it?   I read the Windchill help, but I miss the right keyword to get to a solution. Would be great if you can give me a solution note.   Best Regards,  Johannes

We just upgraded to Windchill 11.2.1.4 and found out that our AfterEDRLoader stopped working. Before this we were on 11.1 M020 CPS08 and it worked like a charm (even in our previous version). Has anyone else upgraded to 11.2.1.4 had the same experience? We're using unedited code as posted here: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS216668   Dobi

How do you set the default selection or order for a dropdown list?

Lately I've been feeling like ESI is a bit heavy for our company's use cases.  It's to the point that I feel like I'd rather use something else.   Now that the odata REST api is in place and seems to work rather well  I was wondering if it could be a good replacement for our ESI integrations.  Rather than placing an xml file somewhere that is configured through distribution targets with a 4 page configuration wizard (exaggeration) then building a custom integration piece to read and ship it to our ERP... could we just have our custom integration piece use the rest api and pull part data?     Has anyone in the community gone down this path/thought process?  Am I nuts?
