Define environment variable WT_WINDCHILLDS_LOGS_DIR in Windchill SysAdmin's environment, as per DS 7 docs (applies to Windchill PDMLink 11.2)

I have custom code to watermark the signatories of drawing reviewers on the drawing title block, which is similar to a stamping tool. For the multi-sheet drawings, my drawing title block is configured to have the signatories on the first sheet only (bookmark of sheet1) and the successive sheets (bookmarks of sheet2, sheet3, etc) do not have the signatories cells for the title black.  Since the watermarking is burned on all the sheets, the signatories appear on the all sheets. How do I configure the  DDX file or AEM Assembler Service to only watermark the signatories on the first sheet only?

Hello.  Has anybody been successful in including the revision number when publishing STEP files? I've tried to read the documentation about it but haven't found anything. Either in the filename or in the step file attributes would be fine. Thanks.

Setup a new FTPS CAD worker  (Creo) the other day and let it run a few test jobs. Most jobs run just fine but am seeing FTP Connection timeouts on jobs with larger assemblies. It is just after it does the Thumbnail and I guess starts to FTP the data back to Windchill (or Windchill does to retrieve it). It sits there for some time before it fails with that message. I have not seen something like this before but I would not discount I misconfigured something. I copied my worker config from the replacement box. Its currently a Win10 workstation worker.  FTP is configured using IIS. Just a shot in the dark. I cannot tell if this is the FTP server saying it took too long to retrieve data. Does the FTP connection say active the entire job or does it close and restart a new job? What is odd is that many jobs and assemblies work just fine.

Hi Team,   I have a case 15726907 where QuerySpec not returning all columns from table   It’s a table customer created in the windchill database for testing. Here are the columns:   Customer used the following API to query external table:   QuerySpec qs = new QuerySpec(); qs.setAdvancedQueryEnabled(true);   ExternalTableExpression ete = new ExternalTableExpression("ZES_WORKCENTER_T"); int tableIndex = qs.appendFrom((TableExpression)ete); qs.appendSelect(KeywordExpression.Keyword.COLUMN_WILDCARD.newKeywordExpression(), new int[] { tableIndex }, false);     SQLFunction upperMATNR = SQLFunction.newSQLFunction(SQLFunction.UPPER, new TableColumn(qs.getFromClause().getAliasAt(tableIndex), "MATNR")); qs.appendWhere(new SearchCondition(upperMATNR, SearchCondition.EQUAL, new ConstantExpression(partNumber)), new int[] {tableIndex});   System.out.println("Query: " + qs.toString()); qR = PersistenceServerHelper.manager.query(qs);   System.out.prin

Hello,   Has anyone here has upgraded Windchill 12 for an organisation that was using Windchill 10 or 11 solely for SLM as the primary usage? If Yes, do you have any list of items or new features that helped you decide to jump on to the upgrade ship to 12 and would you mind sharing it.   I tried locating what's new in Windchill 12 under the documentation section available in PTC Portal, but that does not have any details in specific to SLM functionalities.   Thank you in advance!

I am having issues getting the expdp command to work for doing a backup to the Windchill Oracle database.   Does anyone have a batch file for configuring the options of the expdp and then running it that they would be willing to share. An impdp command would also be nice so I can migrate the database to a test/development server.   Windows Server 2012 Windchill 11.0 m030 Oracle  12c R1

Dear all,I'm trying to hold "design" selection for attribute "View" during the creation of a part in Windchill 10.1 v M040. There are two views, Design and Manufacturing.View attribute does't support default option. If I remove the attribute from the "Create New Layout", its value is unassigned; and it's can't be accetped.I followed this article:https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS286220? but it does't work. Probably there is something in system configuration that collides with the provided solution . Do You have any suggestions?Tnx

Hello!I have a listener in Windchill and have figured out how to catch 2 of of 3 events when it comes to rename in Windchill 10 M030.To catch a change of filename aka CADName I listen for:EPMDocumentManagerEvent.PRE_CHANGE_CAD_NAMETo catch a change of NUMBER I listen for:IdentityServiceEvent.PRE_CHANGE_IDENTITYHowever to listen for a change of NAME I'm stuck.Does anyone have an idea what to look for?It looks as if I can obtain this using: PersistenceManagerEvent.POST_STOREBut I believe this is a little late in the chain since I plan to stop the transaction if some criteria are met and that would probably result in a rollback.Any help is appreciated! Best regards,Peter

Good afternoon:Can anyone guide me to how I can load a previous version drawing and corresponding assembly model into workspace?I know how to look at the history tab in the drawing information but I don't know how to open it in Creo.When ever I try to open a previous version, the drawing updates with the latest part models.I need the models at the version where the drawing assembly was saved, not the latest.Creo 2.0 (M090) and Windchill PDM Essentials 10.2 (M010).Thank you.~Benito.

Previous posts are getting marked as spam? Seems PTC doesn't want the word out that their programs don't work. Oh well, here we go again! Third time at trying to post this. All I'm looking for is help, guys!   I am running Creo 5.0.4.0 with Windchill 11.1 on Windows 10.1 This issue was first discovered while I was running Creo 5.0.0.0 on Windows 10.1. After upgrading to Creo 5.0.4.0, the issue was fixed for about a week. Since then, the issue has come back and I cannot check-in through the embedded Windchill browser on Creo.   I have run into an issue where I am unable to check-in, revise, or set state of files when the operation is done from my workspace or Windchill Commonspace. However, I am able to check-in by opening parts in Creo, and using the manual File>Check-in option.   At first I thought it was just being slow. I let it sit over the weekend and the loading wheel never stopped. It seems like the embedded browser is getting "stuck" after I click the check-in

Hi,I am trying to create automated testing system for the Windchill using selenium.I am facing an issue, when I click on new part icon sometimes it pops up 2 window instead of 1 and some time it pops up Windchill Login dialog along with pop up.What could be the issue?This behavior is random.ThanksNikhil

Even the Repeater widget is showing the latest entry data in all the cells.

I've searched but nothing seems to come up with a solution.    I can't seem to send cad/wtparts from projectlink to PDM. I can share PDM docs to a project, and documents seem to work fine both ways. Any idea whats causing the issue?
