Hi, I have 10 licenses ptc_navigate_author_named. But the problem is that I can't use any license     If I see the User Groups, I have not a group "navigate_author_named_group. This group should be created automatically from LicensingSubSystem, is it right ?.     Can someone help me, please? I am a newcomer to "Thingworx Composer."   Version: ThingWorx 8.5.1-b90 "   Thanks you  

Hi All,   We have Windchill Quality Solution (Risk and Reliability) connected to Windchill PDM Link through windchill integration. We imported latest BOM and created some FMEA data. We want to create separate FMEA data when are parts or product are revised so that we can see the FMEA for version A and for Version B separately. I found below in reference guide but this does not explain. if i sync BOM again with latest expansion criteria than it will replace the version in System Tree Item.           Do we need to create separate Filters in windchill and system files based on version? Let me know if anyone has any idea. Thanks for advance.

I’m sure that many of you have come across slow-performing searches in Windchill, especially when using wildcards. It might be snappier if you have Index Search installed, but only when the Keyword: field is used; as soon as you enter something in the Criteria section of Advanced Search, the system falls back to basic database queries. Under the hood, the bulk of the time and resources spent during wildcard search is in database queries containing something like "..AND NAME LIKE ‘%mypart%’…", i.e. with filters that include leading and/or trailing wildcards. New functionality was introduced in Windchill 10.2 to deal with this. The basic idea is that, for a given business object type and attribute, a separate table is created in the database that holds indexed columns with substrings of the current values. Windchill can then do exact searches of these substrings without using wildcards, which speeds things up significantly. We’ll go through an example here to illustrate how to use it. &n

Hello, Just wanted to know when can I expect newer version of Windchill RV&S after 12.3.1. Would be better if had specific month. Thanks in Advance.

Is it possible to add custom validator for enabling or disabling "Check Out" actions in Search Result Table? Not able to retrieve searched objects through uiValidationCriteria method by extending default validator. Is there any way to customize it? As part of a requirement, we have to enable the Check out only to the authorized users of a WTDocument. The custom validators are implemented on the object properties but could not find a way so far to extend the same on the search results table.

I am working with Windchill 10.2 currently and the question has come up about folder permissions. What we would like to do is create a top level product container and create folders for various groups within that container. These groups are to be kept separate from each other, meaning each group will have access to their own folder but not have access to the other folders in the container.   With that being said, can we control the permissions at the folder level or will we need to create a separate container for each group?   Thank you in advance for your time and have a good one.

Hello,   I am building a utility which will give me the list of child part numbers as an output for a given part number and I want to expose this utility using Rest API so that the users can execute this utility themselves.    I have followed the below steps to get the utility in Swagger UI but I am not able to see the added entry. i) Added the below entry in rest.properties.xconf    <Property name="ext.webservices.rest.test.resources" multivalued="," default="ext.webservices.rest.test.TestUtility"/> ii) Written a java file. PFA.   Please let me know if there is any other step I need to follow to achieve the expected result.    Thanks in advance.   Regards, Hari R

Hi   Just installed Windchill 12 version. no updates in terme of ui design. We even can't tell if it's an 11.2 or 12.   Anyone knows why this new strategy from PTC ? will the big new version be 13 or 12.1 ?   Regards

Actually, its a love/hate relationship, more hate. Well, they did it to me again. Upgrade changes things (flexible changes) but leaves you in a state where objects before the upgrade return in reports but nothing after. In this case, the addressedBy link was deprecated but the data was not moved. "You moved the cemetery, but you left the bodies, didn't you?" Yep. This means any report that had joined the two only sees pairs created before the upgrade (in my case 10.2 to 11.1). The new link is ChangeProcessLink but for some reason, I had to two step it to get results to show. I was able to get this join model to work but you need to use outer joins pointing toward the change request. This will return either links from AddressedBy or ChangeProcessLink in a single report. Between you, me and the poltergeist, I am shocked it worked.

we as use windchill for or solidworks files. Problem I ran into is have an assembly that uses toolbox hardware in it. How do I deal with that to get the assembly into windchill? thanks

I am looking to add some additional actions to a Configurable Links table, specifically I would like to add the submodel for export to give the user the ability to export the table to an excel spreadsheet. I've added the export submodel to the table in custom actionmodel and this does not work.   I opened up a support ticket for this issue and the answered that I received is listed below. Has anybody been able to find a way around this limitation?   I have set up server and install Configurable Links. I have tried to adding export actions (export to excel ,export to File etc) however it does not work. Also, tried with adding submodel but still that fails as configurable Table toolbar action is controlled by   “ConfigurableLinkTableToolbarActionCommandDelegate”. Article : CS237601 for reference.   This seems to limitation of this delegate class which will not allow submodel or actions governed by submodel;  however it may work for few other ootb or custom action

I have the need to create serial numbers and wondering what is the best practice for that. I have embedded a chart showing that I have a main machine product, then we have 2 different designed configurations for it. And then from there, we would have serial numbers.  At first we thought we would track in PDM, but as I learn more about MPM, that seems to be the tool to track what physically was built and sent out the door. Is this the right approach? 

I have parts saved in Windchill and I have a parameter that stores the customer's part number.  However, sometimes there are cases where the same part is used for many different Customers.   Is there a good way to associate a list of customers who use the part and the given part number that they have assigned our part?  There is something similar with Supplier Part Management.  Is this a good option?  Set up the customer as a supplier? After I do this is there any way to create a query of this data so that I could retrieve a list of customers and their corresponding part number for a single part?

Hello,   Is installing Windchill 11.2 supports Windows 10 os possible?

I have Windchill set to automatically create WTparts upon check-in of the CAD parts from a user workspace.  Our default version for new parts is A, but sometimes we want them in Windchill at 0. When that happens, we revise the part in the user workspace to version 0 and then do the check-in. However, the WTparts are being created at version A, not version 0 of the CAD parts. For version A parts this is fine. Is there a setting in Windchill that will create the WTparts at the same version as the CAD parts at initial check-in. I suppose if we added the extra step of doing an Associate before the revise, then we could get everything to version 0 first, but that is an extra step, prone to error that I am trying to avoid.   Creo 4 m080 Windchill 11.0 m 030 CPS16

Hi, I have bought licenses : 12 PTC Author, 10 PTC Contribute and 4 PTC View. However, on the Composer (Navigate) side, they are only : 10 PTC Author, 10 PTC Contribute and 10 PTC view      questions: 1. How can I synchronize Windchill with Composer (Navigate) to have a good number of licenses?   2. On the Composer side (Navigate) I cannot assign any license even though it indicates 10 as available.   3. On the Composer side (Navigate): Is it necessary that the ptc_navigate_author licenses be assigned to a group of licenses, for example ptc_navigate_view or ptc_navigate_contr?   Thanks for your help, I am new to Windchill and Composer (Navigate)   Version Windchill : 11.1 M020-CPS02 Version ThingWorx : 8.5.1-b90      

Ok, this crap is driving me freakin crazy!I have users both in the US and in India that are receiving this error when trying to check in objects into the system. So of course having no clue as to what this meant other than it has the word java in it, I proceeded to let tech support try to help. They came back to me with the following change that they say needed to be made in Oracle:I had IT execute this in the system and it completed successfully, but yet the problem still remains....H....E....L....P!!!!!!!!
