When we check-in a new CAD file (part or assembly), we have auto-associate enabled. The user specifies the folder for the CAD file, but the WTpart file goes to a 'default' folder that is set in the OIR file.  How do we get the WTpart file to go to the same folder  as the CAD part file automatically?   Creo 4m080 Windchill 11.0 m030

HI, I want a API to get all levels of where used part, I am using the below API to get where used StructHelper.service.navigateUsedBy(part.getMaster(),true);  but this gives only 1st level parts. I want all levels as shown in Where Used tab in windchill. For now I am giving recursive call to the function to get all levels, but this is taking long time, processing time is too high, Is there any better way to do so?   @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") private   ArrayList<Object> getPartStructure(WTPart part,ArrayList<Object> objectList)  {  try   {     ArrayList<WTPart> set=new ArrayList<>();   QueryResult resultWhere=StructHelper.service.navigateUsedBy(part.getMaster(),true);        while (resultWhere.hasMoreElements())    {    Object object = (Object) resultWhere.nextElement();    &n

when we load our drawing (pdf) into our PLM software, sometimes our customers request a step file.  i noticed that now, you can create the step file, and automatically attach it to the documentation in Windchill. however, if i do a search for a part, i have no way to actually download the file to my local drive, without opening it into creo, then saving it.  is there something i am doing wrong?  can i somehow browse to this part?

Hi,   Can anyone tell the difference between EPMMemberLink, EPMReferenceLink and EPMVariantLink? As in Windchill all the 3 links have same RoleAType and RoleBType. i.e. wt.epm.EPMDocument and wt.epm.EPMDocumentMaster, so how to know, which link should get created at which time?   Thanks in advanced 🙂    - Sumit  

Hi all, I'm hoping somebody can help me here.   I have created a subtype of the Part Reference and added 2 attributes to that new object type.   I have then set the constraints on that new Part Reference link to be between any WTPart and a particular reference document type.   I've then set up an example and all I want to do is actually set values for these new attributes but I cannot find anywhere in the user interface where I can do that.   Does anybody know how to do this? We are using Windchill 10.2 M030     Regards Ben

Hi, I am trying to terminate the workflow by using the below API. After terminating workflow, the process name get disappeared as shown in the attached image. WfEngineHelper.service.changeState(pro, WfTransition.TERMINATE);   Does anyone have any idea about this?    

I have been using Windchill for quite a while now. I have done many implementation of workflows for the company release process.   Throughout the years, I have realized that having multiple Change Tasks in a Change Notice add UI challenges for simple users. Workflow tasks are obviously nested under their PBOs, but training users and let them understand their task will happen only after all Change Tasks are completed and the Change Notice workflow resumes it has been a real struggle, no matter what company/industry I have been in.   Furthermore, it "complicates" data report. Managers will have to have a full understanding of the workflow implementation to understand data in a non "linear" way, since a completed CN may have multiple CTs.   I am curious to see how anybody is using Multiple CTs and if they found any advantage using it, since the workflow tasks in a CT can be definitely moved inside the CN workflow. I am honestly thinking to go toward one CT and don't even us

I'm starting to explore Cognos for this report management wants ASAP. I'm trying to generate reports based on Query Builder queries and I'm running into what looks like some performance issues. I think I've narrowed down the issue to pulling too much data from the database and only filtering once it's on the Cognos side.   I'm basically trying to pull together a summary report of Change Request and Change Notice information by entering the CN number at a prompt page. Trying to do this without JSP pages or resource bundles only because of some limitations we have, but I'm open to all suggestions.   When I looked at the PSM PurePaths it showed SELECT * FROM Site#<query name> When I was hoping to pull a select of specific fields with a WHERE clause in there for the CN number.   I tried setting up a SQL query based on the report template but I'm not able to get the formatting just right to pull on the query builder queries. I'm looking through all the Cognos documentai

Hello,   I need help in order to optimize time needed for a report to run in Cognos.   Cognos report shows specific action items of users. i have used Teams in order to group users per department. Also in each team, there is one manager. The report now filters the action items based on who is running the report. Therefore, Manager A have as results the users that are within the team where the Manager A belongs to.   as you may understand, this filtering is done in Cognos, after brought the action items for all users which it takes too much time.   Below are the queries and joins in Cognos : BWTUser gets the action items Manager gets the participant in role Manager in Teams Dep gets the participants in role Department User in Teams DepManager join based on Team Name and shows Team - Department User - Manager Query1 join based on Action Item Owner and Department User   Query1 is filtered based on:   How to do all that in Windchill query without using Cogno

We currently run Windchill on Oracle and have been to look into converting over to SQL.  I was wondering what people have experienced with moving over to MS SQL and how is the performance?  Are there any risks running SQL over Oracle? 

Hello, Previously different type of models were used, now design has been changed creating family table and pro program, this is completely new older models weren't touched, this was done from scratch. Now older version which is present on windchill is not letting me replace the newer version saying name conflict. I don't want to delete older version since it is also needed for reference, i want to add these models under continued revision status for track-ability, new name cannot be set since the name is unique for a particular part, and deleting older version is also not an option. Please help me with this, requesting a fast response, thank you 🙂

After successful installation of Navigate we need to configure it with Windchill with Fixed,SSO or windchill authentication. My question is why exactly do we need to do this? Because as I understand while making custom apps we can use integration connectors where we can define the windchill link to retrieve data. Is it to make the pre installed apps work and if so how will the apps retrieve data if the Navigate was configured with multiple windchill?
