Windchill

Hello everyone, I have completed the example (https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/wc111_hc/whc_en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center%2FWCCG_...) from the documentation, the Pet table is output.  How can I output data not only from this table, but also from the second one that will be associated with it? And how to link them correctly? Enter the path in the [classnamekeyA2ownership] column, and enter the id of the corresponding row in idA3A2ownership?

Hello everyone, I have completed the example (https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/wc111_hc/whc_en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center%2FWCCG_Oview_GetStartCust_CreatePetClass.html%23 ) from the documentation, the Pet table is output, but how can I output another table on one page.If I make another table using the Pet example, how can I display it under the first table?

I have been using REST interfaces (via ThingWorx) to access WTPart metadata. There is a boolean attribute called latestInView that show the latest iteration of for example the Engineering view as compared to the attribute latest that specifies latest iteration, shown below.   Version latest latestInView R1.1 false false R1.2 true false R2.1 false false R2.2 false false R2.3 true true   Can someone please explain where this attribute is configured? It seems to have disappeared from our development environment. I can't seems to access it from neither REST or OData REST anymore.

I am in a dilemma as to why exactly I should configure SSO with ping federate for production server when Windchill authentication itself does the work? Can anyone here who have successfully implemented SSO with ping federate tell the exact difference between Windchill authentication and SSO configuration while installing navigate with Ping federate.

Hi,Two questions..1. In windchill 11, why iam not able to see the action "Open  in Product Structure Explorer"?2. in Windchill 10.2, Why iam not able to add the tab " Related Objects" in the PSE ?  See Below.,ThanksHari

Hi all, We need to decide whether to put the DB for TWX Navigate on a separate server, and how often to back it up. It would be helpful if we knew what sort of info gets stored, and how big it will be.  At a guess, the data is role based user configuration and possibly some mashup config. Does any Windchill data get cached here? What else does the DB contain?   We will be using Postgressql. If the DB is small we can keep it local in the Navigate server, which would be convenient.   Thanks -- Rick

Does it bother anyone else that the Windchill Advanced Search tab in Creo still looks like it came straight from Windchill 9.0? We kind of forget that it is there anyway, but firing up Creo 6.0 connected to WC 11 I really don't expect to see this. Seems like a long overdue change that wouldn't take long at all to implement. It just looks careless.                               John Frankovich        

Hi, My client wants that generated PDF and DXF from DRW should have the same name as the primary file. Now it looks like this:     Files should be named testpart.dxf and testpart.pdf without prefix "dxf_" and suffix "_drw". My publish rule look like this: Spoiler (Highlight to read)<rules xmlns="http://www.ptc.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.ptc.com/PublishRulesSchema.xsd"> <authoring-application name="PROE"> <additional-files name="DrawingPDF"> <file display-label="PDF" type="pdf" default="true" output-prefix="pdf"/> <file display-label="DXF" type="dxf" default="true" output-prefix="dxf"/> </additional-files> <param-set name="Share with WTDocumentReleased Drawing"> <post-publish name="delegate">com.ptc.wvs.server.publish.AdditionalFilesPostPublishDelegate</post-publish> <post-publish name="published-content-link">pdf</post-publis

We are having trouble duplcating the Windchill Quality Solutions RBD calculations. We have tried a simple problem and the tool calculation is different then the hand calculations.We have a 2 of 3 parallel operating block with an individual MTBF of 1000 for each of the items placed in seires with a block with an mtbf of 500. Goal was to verify effective system MTBF. Hand methods show answer as 312.5, but RBD results are at 350. We've looked at all the setups and parameters and can't determine why it is different.Anyone else experieinced similar results not matchiing hand calculations like this ?

I have a document with a workflow that kicks off upon creation.  I want the workflow for this document to be able to monitor an associated variance for a state change, and when that happens, move the workflow along.   I don't want to have to enter a variance number as a variable.  I just want it to reference the variance that already is linked through the "Changes" tab on the document.   I was going to use a synchronize robot to do this - but not sure of the expression that needs to be written so that it can recognize the associated variance, and watch it for a specific state change (Approved, for example).   Thank you in advance.

Hi, I created publish rule for generating PDF files from DRW.

Hi all. I'm currently working on cloning a Windchill PDM Essentials installation using the Rehost Tool. When I run the tool, I'm getting stuck in the LDAP connection with the message shown below. I've read a couple of posts and I've made sure that the WindchillDS credentials are correct as well as the baseDN. I also checked that WindchillDS is running by connecting to it from another computer using "LDAP Browser/Editor" by Jarek Gawor. I'm using the same information used in the rehost.properties file and I can connect to it and browse its contents. I can also run the ControlPanel file inside of the WindchillDS directory. The information on my rehost.properties file is: target.directory.ldap=D:\ptc\WindchillDS target.ldap.username=cn=Manager target.ldap.password=*********** target.ldap.baseDn=cn=configuration,cn=Windchill_10.2-M010,o=ptc target.ldap.hostname=************* target.ldap.port=389 target.ldap.scheme=ldap target.ldap.serviceName=<same as hostname> source.local.domain

Hi all, I have installed thingworx 8.5 version. thingwork composer is working fine but I am unable to open the landing page. even i am not getting landing page mashup?   below I have attached a snapshot of this issue.

PTC continues to enhance the On-Demand System Scan for windchill. After having added detections for Visualizations and CAD Interactions (CAD Workgroup Managers) in 2019, Windchill Diagnostic Utility (WinDU) is now supported. Whether for regular maintenance tasks, or in the context of an upgrade, use the On-Demand System Scan for WinDU in order to detect known issues from your WinDU execution outputs and get recommendations for your system. Similarly, before opening a case on the WinDU area, an execution of a scan can provide you with immediate remedies.   Note that although WinDU is part of the PTC Windchill product, for correct analysis of WinDU files for Upgrade and periodic maintenance related issues the 'WinDU' product must be selected.     As a more general reminder, the On-Demand System Scan service allows system administrators to manually scan their system files for similar recommended improvements on an ad hoc basis. Admins can upload system files to be scanned

Hello all,   I'd like to build a report that can be given a promotion request number and list the name of the promotion objects that have an existing markup.   I am not at all experienced in this type of thing.  I found a few reports on the resource page for reports here on the community sites that related to promotion requests.  I tried to tinker but to no avail.  Just don't know enough about the subject.   Could anyone share how I get the "promotion objects" list from a promotion request?   Thank you in advance!

Is there a way to prevent Windchill from accepting a check-in if the list of instances in the Generic being checked in does not include all the instances that were in the latest version?Is there a way to generate a message to the Admin when a check-in or check-in attempt of the Generic list of instances is missing instances there were in the latest version?

Hi,   We have installed PDMLINK and SQL SERVER on the same server PC. Sometimes performance is worst.The RAM usage of SQL Server is increased but not decreased.   So we want to set the maximum RAM usage of SQL SERVER. Is it best to give 60% of the server PC usage to PDMLINK and 20% to SQL SERVER?   We do not plan to add additional servers.   Thanks,    Best Regards, SeonHo Cha

Hello,in our application we are having some performance issues, there is a lot of users accessing our mashup and one server is having trouble with performance.We would like to use multiple servers with a load balancer to distribute the load. Could you please kindly provide us with pointers on how to achieve that if that is even possible? Do you have any other recommendations on how to deal with a load?(We have Postgres installed to a separate server, we are able to replicate the database but just doing that does not work as expected, in order to see the changes in the Thingworx platform it is necessary to restart the tomcat in our experience which is an issue.)Thanks a lot in advance.Best regards,Jiri

I am exploring various PTC products like thingworx, windchill,etc. I can found Evaluation version for thingworx but I havent found any thing similar for windchill. Please let me know if any Evaluation/trail version available for Windchill.

Hope someone sees this.  I'm in the middle of a production upgrade and because the production server is much larger than the test server, it decided it needed 7 method servers instead of one and so the upgrade manager is failing when it tries to start up Windchill since it has too many method servers.  What is the option to set the number of method servers starting using xconfmanager?
