Windchill

Here is a scenario: Some parts are already loaded to windchill. Now if we want to update some of the custom attribute values for those loaded parts, what is the ideal way of doing it without changing its version?

Hi, everybody!I have created a subtype of the Document using the following code: package com.acme; import wt.doc.WTDocument; import wt.util.WTException; import com.ptc.windchill.annotations.metadata.*; @GenAsPersistable(superClass=WTDocument.class, properties={ @GeneratedProperty(name="sizeC", type=Integer.class, initialValue="3", javaDoc="Integer value to represent the size of C.")}, iconProperties=@IconProperties(standardIcon="netmarkets/images/stop.gif", openIcon="netmarkets/images/stop.gif") ) public class AcmeModeledDoc extends _AcmeModeledDoc { static final long serialVersionUID = 1; public static AcmeModeledDoc newAcmeModeledDoc() throws WTException { AcmeModeledDoc instance = new AcmeModeledDoc(); instance.initialize(); return instance; } } Everything works , I can create a document, specify the sizeС.I tried creating a second subtype with link it to the previous one: package com.acme; import wt.doc.WTDocument; import wt.util.WTException; import com.ptc.wi

One of my first projects in Windchill was to implement Nonconformance.  Being new to Windchill I was relunctant to make many changes to the out-of-the-box implementation.   While walking my clients through the process of Nonconformance I was consistently being asked the generic question of "Why can't I see that information in my task?  Why do I need to dig into the Nonconformance to see the information I need?" and I couldn't give them a good answer.  I did what I could but the best I could do was use the PersistableAdapter api to get information stored in the Nonconformance itself.  For example... com.ptc.qualitymanagement.nc.Nonconformance mine = (com.ptc.qualitymanagement.nc.Nonconformance)primaryBusinessObject; com.ptc.core.lwc.server.PersistableAdapter obj = new com.ptc.core.lwc.server.PersistableAdapter(mine,null,null,null); obj.load("dateFileOpened", "number", "name","description","OBSERVATION","ncKey","requester"); java.text.DateFormat df = java.text.D

While implementing CAPA for our company, I realized that they use the DataUtility field to identify a method that allows them to show or hide specific values based on other attributes... If Risk Required is set to yes, then show the Risks table.  If Change Notice is required, then show two more attributes to define Change Notice Type and Name.... etc...I tried to create one that I can use for similar purposes.  Show/Hide and Require/NotRequire attributes in a subtyped ChangeActivity based on a variable called Intent.  Didn't quite work out.  I'm not looking for help troubleshooting, but more looking for clearer examples of how to make a DataUtility.  The examples I have found have been superficial and not very helpful.

Hello. I am currently attempting to create a Cog nos report that allows a user to select multiple contexts  with a select and search prompt with multi select and pass them back as parameters for a Query Builder report, however when I try to I can only seem to pass the first selected value in the list. Is there a way to pass them all back as a Comma separated values?

Hi,   Hope someone can assist.   I get this message when I try to create a new downstream branch.   I cannot seem to find info on this.   Has anyone else perhaps encountered this message?   Thank you    

Hello, the following "workspace columns" have no header labels (Creo 5).  I'm wondering if this is some setting or preference?  If not, will this be resolved at some point?  Metadata management is extremely costly and time consuming and this is one of the fundamental root causes.  The other fundamental root cause is the inability to edit attributes in one location (e.g. some attributes can only be changed/assigned after check-in and some only when checked out).  Thank you. Workspace column headers with no column labels shown below and in the attachment image. 'sort by general status''sort by local workspace status''sort by out of date''sort by modified status''sort by compare status''sort by conflict information'

Hi, For a current customer I am trying to implement a service that will record the Fault messages of the machine. I've set up an infotable property on the asset that would house the recorded faults. I've also set up a data table holding the fault code reference document that has a numerical code and string for each fault.   What I need to do, is when an Alert on the faulted PLC tag is triggered, to get the numerical code from a seperate PLC tag, reference that code in the data table, get the string equivalent, then add a row with all that information to my asset fault history infotable property.   I cannot get my javascript code to work, I'll paste below what I have currently, I am wondering now if it is easier to use data tables for both tables listed above or if this set up should work?   To clarify, I am using a configured Alert on the Faulted property (boolean) to trigger a subscription with the following code:   var PLCFaultCode = me.Current_Fault_Code; var que

Hello everyone , who has encountered such an error?How did you solve it? Windchill Error Contact your administrator for assistance. Information for their reference follows.

We have just started using Windchill and uploading our legacy stuff to it. We also have a few soft types defined which we are identifying in the solidworks attributes using UPLOAD_SOFT_SOFT which have their own auto numbering sequence defined (with prefixes like MA for Mechanical Assembly so the number would be MAxxxxx).   The issue is that when using save to workspace the number does not get autogenerated and instead the file name is used as the part number even if the soft type is correctly set. Currently the workarounds we have available are: Create a part in the workspace with the type we want which generates a number automatically with the correct sequence. The external CAD file is renamed to that number and then saved to workspace to overwrite the generated part. OR rename the parts we want manually with sequence such as MA51xxx and then using that 51 as an additional manually set prefix for that product and then saving to workspace.   What we would like is based on t

The calculate method of the RuleAlgorithm interface is passed an array of the parameters, provided within the AttrValue tag of the OIR e.g. <Attr id="SomeAttribute"/>. While  RuleConfigurableTypeAttributes.properties can be configured, one is still typically limited as to what one can list there.I would think there would be some APIs (e.g. action bean) used by the form submission framework to call the RuleAlgorithm implementation that can also be called directly from the RuleAlgorithm implementation to access the form data. Any ideas?Environment: PDMLink 11.2 M010

We want to add one column in folder page. Where name, number all details coming there we want one more column percentage. How we can achieve.

Dear all, I need to know about is there REST API available for below mentioned scenario :    1. Can we retrieve as stored configuration of EPM Document? 2. Can we download content of EPM Document iteration which is non latest?   Can anyone please help me out to find REST API?   Thanks.

I know that some restrictions exist for naming of container in Windchill. Does it exist also some restriction in usable characters for number or name for EPMdocument WTPart or WTdocument? Is it also possible to forbid some extra characters in preferences or by setting a constraint in Windchill? Found today the case CS41839 which answers partially to my question and a table "Special Characters" in the help "Using Special Characters".

Hello. I am trying to create a Cognos bar chart with a series of document counts. I cant seem to get the chart made. Does the chart have to be made with related measures such as something from a cross tab or can it be made of independent data items? If it can be made, is it as simple as placing a data item with the total count in the y axis, and the individual types that need to be measured in the x axis? I have tried this previously to no avail, so any help would be highly appreciated,

We are trying to read multi-valued attributes in Windchill through the odata API. However, Windchill only seems to return one of the values and does not compile it into a list. Any ideas if this can be resolved? Many thanks

Hi Guys, I have created a custom app in thingworx navigate. It is working perfectly for administrator but the same custom app is not working for non-administrator user. When i click the custom app from non-administrator user it is showing the error: Reason: 404 - Entity Not Found. If anybody knows mean let me know.  

Does anyone know if WC11 has provided a simple way to build a Query Report / Search that only show the latest Version of an object?    I have been trying to create a report and got it close to what I need but is all latest revisions (e.g. A.2, B.5, 1.3, 2.5, 3.7) when I only want the latest released version (3.7).   I have heard in previous versions of WC there is a convoluted way to do this but am hoping there is a simple way to do this...as this is already functionality in a normal WC search.

Hi, We are trying to automate Creo operations from an auxiliary application (using the Creo Toolkit). When the files are in Windchill we are not able to change anything from this application. Opening local Creo files, everything is working as expected.   My question is if it is possible to always store local cache unencrypted? Like a setting on Windchill server. Basically storing normal Creo files (*.prt, *.asm) as local cache instead of encrypted.    We are running Windchill 11.0 and Creo 6.0.3.0

This blog entry discusses the Representation Purging Utility that I created. It was written as a jsp with an html front end page. The files are attached.As CAD Documents are iterated in Windchill, published representations accumulate in the history and most of those representations are no longer needed. If the OOTB publishing rules are used, every iteration will have multiple representations as shown below. This screenshot shows four representations for a single version of this CAD Document, and there are a total of ten versions in the history of this CAD Document. As you can imagine, the number of representations can grow quickly.The majority of the time, we only need one default, as-stored representation, so most of the representations can be safely deleted. There is no OOTB tool, that I'm aware of, that can be used to delete these undesired representations in bulk, so I created this tool to delete them. It allows me to free up valuable storage space in the vaults. If your representa

Hello everybody,   i would like to have a more detailed documentation of the Threshold Connector (besides the help center). Actually , the use case here , is that workflow hangs since a certain activity seems to be hanging as well.    Please refer to the document attached for a better understanding.

Hi,   Anyone out there using Windchill 11.1 M020 Workgroup Manager (WGM) & Altium ECAD?   Since our upgrade to WC11.1, we are experiencing constant data loss with the WGM when working with Altium ECAD. The WGM likes to replace the modified and updated files in the workspace with old copies from the Commonspace periodically. We've seen it do this on WGM startup and as part of the ECAD Check In process. Its an incredibly frustrating situation because the WGM never lets you know when its doing this, it does the replacement  silently in the background. One minute you're working on the latest design files, the next time you open the files you've been restored to what you originally checked out from the Commonspace.     We have sent PTC three packages of video, data and logs for this issue and they have a tentative fix for us, but it will not be available until July. I'm not sure what's holding it up so long and that is why I'd like to know if there are

Hello,   I have implemented a logic where an IBA attribute of WTDocument will get updated at certain point in a change task workflow.   But for one object the IBA attribute is updated two times which is causing some issues in the upcoming activity nodes. For example: If the attribute name of a document is "Info" and the value I am trying to persist is "value", when the IBA updation logic is executed the value is coming as "value","value".   I can see two entry in the database in String Value table for the document. Can anyone please shed some light on this?   Thanks and Regards, Hari R

Hi everyone, When I used to add a "my thing" to data in mush-up, the problem is that I can't find it in the list of elements when looked for it. its happened to me several times, some times when I try to implement a thing to another, I can't find it in the list of search etc.. Thanks
