Windchill

Greetings,   We have a situation where we sent files to a vendor and they have changed the CREO assembly and sub-parts. However, we don't know what they changed. We want to put back into Windchill. They sent us a backup folder with files. I imagine we can use the import feature to do this? Does anyone have a documented way of handling this as easily as possible?   Release: 11.0 M030-CPS14   Wayne

Need help converting the blow sql into QuerySpec   SELECT *FROM DISCRETEACTIONITEM DAIJOIN ITERATEDACTIONITEMSUBJECTLINK ISL ON DAI.IDA2A2 = ISL.IDA3A5JOIN CONTROLBRANCH CB ON ISL.BRANCHIDA3B5 = CB.IDA2A2JOIN WTPARTMASTER PM ON CB.IDA3B5 = PM.IDA2A2;

In order to query the latest WTpart 'version', etc A,B.C...etc. querySpec： QuerySpec qs1 = new QuerySpec(); qs1.setAdvancedQueryEnabled(true); int classIndex = qs1.appendClassList( wt.part.WTPart.class, false ); SQLFunction fun=new SQLFunction(SQLFunction.MAXIMUM,new ClassAttribute( wt.part.WTPart.class , "versionInfo.identifier.versionId" ) ); qs1.appendSelect(fun, new int[] { classIndex }, false); qs1.appendWhere(new SearchCondition( wt.part.WTPartMaster.class , "number" , "=" , "test_number" ),WTPartMasterIndex ); The query result always throw exception"A statement with aggregate function can not be used with access control."I try to change SQLFunction MAXIMUM to "LENGTH", and It is work. What's the hell? What can I do resovle the query requirement?

1.  I have a custom scheduled job created but it always runs in context 'site' and always returns null.  I understand this is by design. 2.  When I try to schedule my custom job in my org, my custom job name does not display in the job listbox to choose.  The custom job name only displays when I am in the job administrator scheduler for 'site'. 3.  I am struggling how to get my custom job name to display in the job administrator scheduler for my 'org' and have not been able to verify if my custom job java code is correct.   See the code below.   Any hints or suggestions are appreciated.

We need certain tasks/notifications to happen AFTER the state of the objects change: For buy parts, purchasing to send released drawings to suppliers (with updated watermark that reflects the new released state) For make parts, manufacturing program any CNC files, etc. How do people handle these post release tasks/notifications? Custom workflow? Almost seems like there should be post release tasks in the Change Notice Implementation Plan. Seems like this would be pretty common?

Hi,   just found https://windchill-extensions.ptc.com/ Are these extensions new? Anybody tried with Windchill 11.0?   The idea sounds nice and some coming soon extensions (depending on price) could be helpfull.   br Bernhard

Hello the goal is to avoid user access in Windchill (or a list of users) without deleting or damaging the user itself (considering he/she can be reactivated in the future). Some articles provided by PTC support did not work in our environment https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS145660 https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS71201   The next one didn't work because the Windchill user credentials are synchronized with Active Directory / LDAP: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS102243    Because all of this, now I'm asking to the ptc Community. Thanks and Reg      

We share a couple of laptops. On one, Google asked if we wanted the password saved after logging into Windchill. This seems to have locked us into a member account, since we can't find a logout button anywhere.Looking at similar discussions, I'm not the only one looking. So how do I log out?

Hi, hope someone can assist.The existing QA host (windchill-test) was set up as a Cluster Node in production pre-rehost. So when trying to make windchill-test the "new" host again, we got a duplicate key error from the fvHost table. I suppose this makes sense and perhaps we used the wrong approach if we just wanted to update the existing QA host with the latest production data?We were unable to remove the Cluster Nodes during the rehost so we used a workaround by renaming them to "fake" hosts in order to be able to change the Standalone Node.   After we got all the services up again we were able to remove the cluster nodes from the front-end.   What I would like to know is whether it is going to be necessary to use this workaround each time we do a rehost?Is the QA host supposed to be set up as a Cluster Node in production? We inherited this setup from the previous admin so not sure if this is best practice?Should we have used a different rehost approach to just update the

There is a attribute defined on a document type, the value is carried over by new iteration or revision once it was created out of box. How can I custom to not carry over the value but reset to empty every time new revision? Eg Audit Type field was set "Initial" at A.1, new iteration to A.2 the value carried over. However  when Revise to B.1, the value was reset to empty.

Hi, I will explain the attached picture and ask a question. The expected scenario is as follows: CAM_FOLLOWER.asm has 4 components.Among CAM_FOLLOWER.asm, BASE.PRT is checked in from A.3 to A.4, and CAM_FOLLOWER.asm is not checked in.   In this situation, CAM_FOLLOWER.asm has been revised to B.1.After checking in, iteration of version B increased, and it is necessary to view the latest data of version A.   The filters you can use to add data for A.3 in CAM_FOLLOWER.asm to your workspace are "Latest" and "On save". (Except promote and baseline)If you select latest, CAM_FOLLOWER.asm is A.3, but the rest of the components get the latest iteration of version B.If you select Save, you get the component when CAM_FOLLOWER.asm is checked in.That is, BASE.PRT A.4 cannot be imported.   The point of the question is how to get the latest iteration of the assembled parts for the previous version.   I hope my explanation was good enough, and please leave a good answer.Thank you.

Is it just me...or does anyone else find it slightly worrying that you can delete your entire index without confirmation? Having just spent all weekend nursing a complete index rebuild it became all too apparent how easy it would be to accidentally choose the wrong option and undo all that work. To make things worse, the 'check' and 'delete' options are right next to each other! Am I missing something here?

Hi, Is thingworx navigate integration with Flex PLM possible? If yes, which are the connectors or utilities to be used for integrating? Thanks in advance.   Regards, Kiran Gurav

Hello All,   Can anyone please explain me the difference between Validators and Filters? I have worked on Filters but I have never used Validators until now.   For what purpose should we use validators and for what purpose should we use filters?   Thanks in advance.   Regards, Hari R

I'm trying to set up Project in Windchill for my engineering group.  The one thing that I need with this is the ability for the Guest Role to see the projects that they are guest in when they go to All Projects and change to Active Projects or one that I create.  How do I accomplish this without making them part of the Viewer Role and making them join the project?   I am on Windchill 11.2.1.0, but this should be doable no matter what version.

Hello All,   I recently attended an interview where the interviewer asked the difference between   i) Change Notice and Change Order. ii) Change Activity and Change Task.   I have always thought that the both terms represent the same object. Please shed some light on the confusion.   Thanks in advance for the response.   Regards, Hari R

Hello, When we are trying to use the Save-As Function in our Windchill for the Windchill Part, Model and Drawing we get an Error Message that the Object Type is invalid. I didn't find any preference which prevents the copying of CAD-Models/Drawings. Is it possible that the Save-As Function is not working with Data from Direct Modeling? Thank you in Advance! Best Regards

Hello. Please tell me: why is it so long to publish on the server? There are objects that are published for 1 hour. At the same time, the server is loaded by 10 percent.

Hello Community,   I am working on some coding to Link an EPMDocument to a WTPart, and then build the WTPart structure. I've got the association portion working but am having difficulty with the build task. I found this in the Windchill API to build structures:BuildHelper.service.buildTarget(WTCollection alwaysBuild, WTCollection buildIfNotAlreadyBuilt, BuildResolverDelegate[] buildResolverDelegate, ConfigSpec configSpec)   I feed this a collection containing my working copy of the WTPart, and it appears to run without issue.  It returns a WTValuedMap, which I am not familiar with.  My question is there any I need to do with the WTValued Map to update the working copy of my WTPart object prior to service.checkin?  Or has anyone had any success with using the BuildHelper.service ?   Snippet:\\Checkout OBJ_prt \\create WRK_Prt = workingcopyof (OBJ_Prt) \\Create links to EMPDoc \\add WRK_prt to WTCollection alwaysBuild.  No buildresolverDelegate, no conf

Hi, when i try to set the license in Creo setup, one server of the Triad results "not reachable". The firewall is off, the Antivirus is uninstalled, the Ping works, all the services are on. I tried a restart but nothing changes. See the attachment. Help?

Hello,Anyone out there have made a DHF using WTParts? Any suggestions would be great.Many thanks,Mike

Hi Everyone, For those of you that are using multiple states for your business objects (CAD, Part, Doc) I am wondering if you are willing to share what those states are and what they mean from a business point-of-view.  There is some internal debate at my company what the difference should be between Engineering Released and Released (I won't give the details here).  I am just wondering what states are used at other companies and what they communicate to the business about the maturity of the object.   Thanks, Patrick Williams

Do we have any feature in the windchill workspace, to select all the generic and instance part/assembly of a single component together?
