Windchill

I am having issues with installing Windchill 11.1 f000 on Oracle 12cR2. I have installed Oracle and created a local user account as part of the install. When I run the PSI for doing the Oracle configuration for PDMLink, the install fails. I have submitted log files to PTC and they just say to enter the Oracle Home password. Up until today, I was using the default Windows Built-In Account, like I have with Windchill 11.0. Those installs all failed, so today I did the Create local account and it still failed. PTC has been very slow in responding to my emails with the log files. I am using a local administrator account for the install. Has anyone had issues with the Oracle install portion of 11.1? This is the first install on Oracle 12c R2, but my 10.0 and 11.0 on 12cR1 all worked fine.

Hi All,   there is a possibility to create some rules for Windchill Visualization that will create additional pvz after Creo Parametric file being checked in. PVZ file then could be used in Creo Illustrate. But unfortunately, not all of the information is available - ex there are exploded views missing. When pvz file is created as File>save as - all state definitions are transferred.   Any idea how to does it when pvz file is created as a result of post-publishing rule?

Hi all, We are running a three stage environment with a Dev WC server, QA server and Production server. Once our changes on Dev are working we promote them to the QA server.   Suppose I have a new part type on Dev with added attributes and a new form layout (no Java changes).  What is the simplest way to promote this setup to the next (E.G. QA) server?  Thanks -- Rick

Hello guys, I really hope all you are doing great. Do you know how to open Info Engine when Windchill is not starting? I was setting a connection with Active Directory and  when I finish all the normal configuration I restart the server to verify my work as the process requiere but Windchill never restart again, so I check my data and later I realize that the JNDI connector was wrong. So how can I change the JNDI connector if you access it using the Info Engine who is access using Windchill who is nos starting. Thats why the name of this discussion: How to open Info Engine when Windchill is not starting?

We have several different OIRs that we use and recently a few of them have stopped showing up. The settings show that they are visible and enabled, but not even the wcadmin account is able to see the missing OIRs.   Are permissions stored somewhere that I could double check?

Does anyone know or have any examples of how I can control which Part sub-types are allowed to be structured as Children of other Part subtypes. I want to introduce a number of Part sub-types to control product structure and make configuration through option & variants easier, however to eliminate the possibility of the structures being created incorrectly or the wrong types of items being structred at the wrong levels I want to put some rules in place to allow or disallow certin sub-types from being children of other sub-types. eg a "component" part type can only be a child of a "sub-module" part type and a "sub-module" part type can only be a child of a "module" and so on until we reach the top of the structure. All these different levels would have their own naming and numbering conventions, so these could be used for rules if there is no simple way to do it by sub-type parent to child relationships?

Hi,I am currently trying to add a non-persistent column to a tree in Windchill. The column does not represent an attribute, but a value calculated in the buildComponentData method. As I haven't figured out how to only add one non-persistent column, I currently build a component filled with non-persistent data instead. This works great when the component is a table, but when trying to do so with a tree, I get a "Unable to find NmObject for element: ..." error. This seems to me as if the tree component cannot display non-persistent data.Does someone know if a tree component can display non-persistent data and if so, what are the differences between a table with non-persistent data and a tree with non-persistent data?Thank you,Vincent

We are currently trying to set up our manufacturing department with view permissions for design state documents and download permissions for released state documents. We are using the Access Control under Policy Administration but it seems we are unable to get the desired results. Is this the proper method? We have PDF files, STP files, and Excel files that the Manufacturing department need to use. We want them to be able to download the PDF files if they are at a released state and to only view them if they are at a design state. These files are uploaded as reference documents to the WTPart that also includes the prt, asm, drw files.

We have several different filename prefixes and I'd like to generate reports that list all of the files with that particular prefix. For example, I want to find all WTParts and/or CAD files with a prefix of "XYZ-".

Hi all, How can I add new column in avalible columns table? I can see that some of them was made previous.     

I'm having a hard time with this one. I can't seem to figure out how to get windchill to include additional files in the packages. I have the publisher set up to add step files under the representation, added afterloader (option 2) and even manually adding attachments doesn't do anything. The content folder of the zip file ONLY contains a text file and the cad parts. I don't even see a PVZ file. I'm on windchill  PDMlink 11.0 M030. Am I missing some basic setting?

New in Customization Analysis Gadget - Detect Conflicts before Updating Windchill   You can now use the Conflicts Detection dashboard available on the Customization Analysis gadget to identify the customized files in your Windchill environment that are conflicting with the planned target Update or CPS release   For example, if the wt.part class file is customized in your Windchill environment, then while updating the Windchill installation or applying a CPS patch for a release, the Conflicts Detection page will help in identifying if PTC has also updated the wt.part class file   http://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/ptc_perf_adv/en/index.html#page/performance_advisor%2Fcustomization_analysis_page.html%23

If the CN Initiator removed from the License groups (due to Termination, etc.), the transaction fails on RTM workflow. The RTM workflow checks for the CN Initiator access (ESI Author) for creating the ESI Release objects. The workaround which we have is to add the user back to the License group and retry the transaction. We have to fix this issue because: 1. adding a terminated user back to the license group is against some organization's regulations. 2. there is no ESI Failure task because the workflow is stuck on the workflow. So the only way to find these transactions is to perform a search or generate a report.
