Windchill

We have a business/security requirement to track who has logged in as wcadmin so that specific actions performed as wcadmin can be traced back to a person. I've tried searching through the support portal, but have been unsuccessful it seeing if such a feature is included in Windchill or has been customized into Windchill in some way. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have imported all extension in thingworx but in thingworx composer ptc-windchill-integration-connector is not seen.from any where i need to download it.Please find snap of composer.      

Hello,   I have query does we need to Grid extension import before configuring to Windchill.  It is mandatory or its fine if we not import.    

Hi All, How would I disable the limit of 25 entries for ODATA REST endpoints for windchill? ex. <server>/Windchill/servlet/odata/v3/DocMgmt/Documents ---- only returns 25 entries     Thanks, Patrick 

When searching for Parts or Documents, our users sometimes need to find the latest version, regardless of state (even if it's pending a CN or still at In Design state). Other times, they need to find the latest production-released version, and do not want to see the in-process objects.   In Navigate, there's no way to do that.  There is a admin capability to select latest released (can specify states and views). But this configuration change applies to all users. It's not available to individual users, and cannot be applied to individual users. See this post for more details: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Thingworx-Navigate/Navigate-how-to-configure-search-to-only-return-latest-released/m-p/544433   Our Navigate customization team is finding it difficult to accomplish, and mentioned OOTB [Part Search] mashup is un-editable.   Any suggestions from the community would be welcome.   And I would request PTC should seriously consider this as a future improvement.

My Windchill Admin has moved on to greener pastures.    I am trying to open a Creo drawing from Windchill.  When I select the Actions -> Open In -> Open in Creo  Windchill tries to open the file using Creo Render Studio.  It appears this is unlicensed.  If I open Creo Parametric that seems to be licensed.  I'd therefore like to figure out how to get Windchill to open the drawing in Parametric instead of Render Studio.  How can I do this? (So sorry for the Noob question)

I'm trying to delete cache for my workspaces. But I'm getting this message window 'cache associated with frames cannot be deleted until frames are deleted' and aborting the cache clearing.  What is this Frames? How to override this frames to clear the cache?

Hello, I was wondering how you can add attributes to the end item table on the product front page. Anyone knows?       Best Regards,Martin

Hi,   I have a custom attribute. Using Data Utilty I made the attribute multivalued. The attribute is supposed to be a User Picker.  I can not see User Picker(code written/datautility id registered/cache cleared)   Is it because we cannot have two Data Utility functions for the same attribute(Multivalued and Picker)?

Hello,   We are looking into migrating our next location into Windchill and have a versioning issue. Our HQ uses Numeric prior to Release and Alpha post Release, hence WC is configured this way with state-based revisioning. The next location uses Numeric for Released revisions.   We are being told, by PTC there is concern about corrupting the database. 1. We cannot modify the existing XML state-based sequence. 2. We cannot create a new sequence for an existing object (load new named XML file).   Has anyone any experience with modifying the state-based sequence in anyway? We are considering Importing the data in at the Numeric revision, but Released state. This violates the State Based sequence.  Has anyone tried that? Or we are considering adding a "-" to preceed "A" for Released.   Has anyone had success with ADDING a value to Sate Based revisions?   Thanks for your response.  

Hello Folks,   I want to know how to configure Service Information manager . Which Installable i need to use .Any specific setting i need to do for configuration .Please let me know your comment. I refer PTC guide but unable to get detail information. First i stuck which CD i need to use for this.   Regards, Bhagyashree

Hola, why unable to see surface or curves on WCH detail page even Creo View can open vizualization OK?     This is my RCP setting on the server (curves and quilts allowed)     Think vizualization is OK so Creo View shows everything but why WCH refusing to show it as well?

Hi All, We moved to AWS Cloud our Windchill infrastructure, question I have is: does anyone successfully implemented Load balancing using /Windchill/servlet/WindchillGW/wt.httpgw.HTTPServer/ping method? I’m new to this topic of AWS “Elastic Load Balancing” with 3 types of LB “Application Load Balancer” “Network Load Balancer” and “Classic Load Balancer” Normally in bigip.conf file I would include this configuration and it would work but not sure if I need to setup virtual bigIP LB on AWS or this is possible with AWS load balancers OOTB?   Example: monitor windchillqa-443 {    defaults from https    interval 30    timeout 91    recv "Succeeded"    send "GET /Windchill/servlet/WindchillGW/wt.httpgw.HTTPServer/ping\r\n" }   Thx, V

Hi,   I am completely new to this and not really sure where to start. I am also not really able to find a How To guide apart from the odd 6 min video.   The setup will be as follow: Company A bought company B and company B will now become the new additional organization. Company A must be able to see company B's data but not the other way around.   I am not sure yet whether there will be made use of only one server since the companies are located in different regions of the country.   What is all the info/requirements that I need to know before creating an additional organization.   Appreciate the help.   Regards

I have in the past used a separate machine for publishing, but we are now trying to install publishing on the Windchill server itself. I have Creo 4 m110 installed locally on the Windchill server. Creo 4 will launch. I have Creo View Adapters 5.1f00 installed locally on the Windchill  server. I created a SetUp folder under the Creo View load point and got the files saved to it. GS Worker starts as  a Windows service.   When I run Adapter.pvi, enter the Windchill server name and port 601, Test Server returns this: Test worker connection to server:-  Worker type: PROE Server:  fakename.centrusenergy.com Port:  601 Testing Connection to Server ... Failed:-  Could not connect to the CADAgent at port 601 of fakename.centrusenergy.com. Check the machine name and port number, make sure that the CADAgent is running on the target machine.   Running Windchill Worker Agent Administration and I get a Fails to Start message.   Where d

Hi, everybody.I found an example ( @BineshKumar1  https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Updating-user-details-in-Windchill/m-p/267772 ) of how to update a value in a table in a database. But I can't figure out how I can add new values ( a new row in the table) in this way .Please tell me how this can be done?   Here is an example from the link https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Updating-user-details-in-Windchill/m-p/267772     try { QuerySpec qs = new QuerySpec(WTUser.class); qs.appendWhere(new SearchCondition(WTUser.class, WTUser.EMAIL, SearchCondition.LIKE, "oldemail@oldemail.com", true), null); QueryResult qr = PersistenceHelper.manager.find((StatementSpec) qs); while (qr.hasMoreElements()) { WTUser user = (WTUser)qr.nextElement(); user.setEMail("someone@something.com"); PersistenceHelper.manager.save(user); } } catch (WTException | WTPropertyVetoException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); }   &nbs

Simple question hopefully, just curious and can't find a straightforward answer in documentation. Can you have two of the same name/number parts in two different products? I ask for the sake of bringing a new product line into our system from a new company acquisition that has a few part numbers the same.   Example:  12345.prt   in    Automotive Product 12345.prt   in    Industrial Product

I did an upgrade to Windchill PDM link 11.1 not too long ago. During the process of creating a staging area for the software, I created a Software CD Directory of installation media. Now that the upgrade has been completed for some time, In the interests of trying to increase available disc space, do I still need to keep this directory or can I delete them. An example of the contents of this directory: - Windchill 11.1 Common Base - Windchill 11.1 Directory Server - Windchill 11.1 Index Search - Windchill 11.1 Service Pack M020 - Windchill PDMLink 11.1 F000 - Creo View 5.1 Adapters _F000_windows - Creo View 5.1 Clients _F000_windows   Thank you.    

Hi,   is there a way to export all CAD files from Windchill to a fileserver?   How hard is it to query information from the database about file structure and their position in the vault? Does anybody have some experience on this?   We already exported files from the workspace and renamed and moved them by script according to a CSV export. But for another server doing this by hand would be too much.   br Bernhard

HiWe are currently in purchasing process for a Plm solution who could work with creo 5 or 6, and also Catia for the other engineering department.Our final choice will be between Windchill vs Enovia.And for the moment the price is better for Enovia Because we asked to windchill the possibility to attach a document to a part or assembly, suchlike modification requests or quality reports.I have already worked with windchill in previous company, and i liked it, but for Enovia i am a bit afraid of no full compatibility and maybe other things that we don't know.That's why I am very interested about feedback with enovia and creo 4 or 5 ?Because we already know that enovia is not compatible with creo 6 for the moment. Does it work well? Family table etc...? References management etc... Thank you

Utilizing the Export-Import Utility and my imports from 10.1 to 11 are  failing due to below error:   "WTDocument: COMP, FPII, TEST, CAT II, A1, EOD, MAIN INSTALLATION ( 100000_PDF ) -.5" cannot be imported because the revision "-" is invalid.   I'm running a vanilla 11 system with no data on it but I need to know what attributes does 11 use for revision >-< , versionId>< , and iterationId>< ? I'm very close to successfully importing just CAD/Dynamic Docs but need to know 11's attributes to successfully import from 10 to 11.    

Hello All,   I have certain workflow variables, for example status, using which I will determine whether a process is succeeded or not. Once an activity fails it will trigger a user activity where they will perform some changes on the data. In some cases after taking the failure path the variables are then getting reset automatically. I have used loop link in the workflow. Can anyone please explain what is the problem here and how to resolve it.    Thanks in advance.   Please refer the attachment. 1) Initial activity 2) If validation fails, "E" path will be taken. E is the value of the workflow variable status. 3) User activity 4) Loop link   In my case the user has not completed the failure activity i.e. 3 is not yet completed but still the variable values were reset.   Regards, Hari Shankar

Hello,   I've added a parameter in our title blocks the shows the lifecycle state.  This is incase a paper copy of our drawing is printed out, if it's floating around its easily identifiable as under review or released.  The parameter in the title block show properly at WIP, Under Review, but after a promotion request where it is approved and moves to a released state that parameter does not update in the published or actual drawing.  I have a publishing rule that creates pdf and dxf upon release... but they all end up saying under review.. I have found a setting in the recipe file that suggests it will regen before publishing but this doesn't seem to have an effect.

We are currently running Windchill 11.0 M030 CPS16 and we intend to Upgrade to either WNC 11.1 or WNC 11.2; however we have a difficult decision to make as the decision is around balancing extended support coverage (with WNC 11.1) vs features (with WNC 11.2)... Can anyone provide any advice for selecting WNC 11.1 or WNC 11.2 as a target release before considering our next upgrade to WNC 12.0 later?

I have a requirement to implement the suggestion text box on an attribute/IBA during Create wizard which would query all my suppliers from DB. I am able to make it work but I am not able to persist the value after selecting from suggestion list.Any thoughts/samples ?
