Windchill

  Hello All,   I want to implement business rules to perform certain validations. I have tried finding materials on how to create them but I can only find articles on how to implement/load them but not on creating them. I know how to implement the OOTB ones but I want to create a custom one. Please provide an example on how to do the same.   Thanks, Hari Shankar

Greetings all. I want to generate a report, in Excel format if possible, that shows all the members of a product container in Windchill 11.0. I would like the report to expand any groups that are in the container to show the members of the group also. I am wanting to avoid having to copy and paste and then manually update the list.   I would ideally like the report to look something like this:        Member                                   Role                    Email      Joe Shmoe                              Observer&nb

Apparently, Windchill 9.1 only allows deleting of the latest version (revision & iteration) of a CAD Document.Some older posts have indicated that the way to delete non-latest is to use purge.That's like using a sledge hammer to drive a thumb tack.Is there any other way to delete a single iteration?What if I want to delete all revisions & itertations?Do I have to delete them one at a time, starting with the latest?This was trivial in Intralink 3.x.Gerry

Hi all,As per the documentation, it states that..We have turned this OFF, (Set as False) for some reason.This functionality controls the copying forward of Representations to newiterations of Representables (for example, Windchill Parts, Documents, DynamicDocuments, and Windchill Document objects). The fundamental principle is thatCopy Forward applies only to out-of-the-box, non-derived Representations.However, in the case of a Copy or Revise of a Representable, all Representations(derived and non-derived) will be copied forward out-of-the-box. This behavioralso applies to Representables being checked out to a new context.Our Requirement:The representations should be carried forward when performing PDM Checkout to Project and Send to PDM  from the Project.The representations should not get carried forward when performing a Revise in PDM contexts.Since we have turned the carry forward OFF, we could not achieve our need, because it appears that for Revise , the Carry forward is HARD

Hi,   I would like to move WTParts to a different context and/or folder but when I try to select a different context location in the Move operation, only two of the several contexts display in the Set Location drop down.   With Policy Administration I have added Full Control for wcadmin on the Root domain for All Contexts but does not work. Still only the two contexts get displayed.     Where in the configuration am I missing something?   Please assist.   Thank you 

I have thingworx 8.5 and integrity 12.2.1, These two servers are configured with SSL but I want to login thingworx based on integrity user authentication.   is there any way or reference guide to configure SSO with these above two servers???

Hi,      I am using Windchill Rest API and TwxIEWebService SOAP API. Using these APIs I am consuming CAD Documents and Change Request. But I am not getting any information of related part. Say Change Request "CR001" is related to Part "P0001", or CAD Document "CAD0001" is related to Part "P0002". How could I get the related Part information using REST or SOAP API?

It seems you can add a person to an object team (see screenshot). I can't think of where it will be useful. You cannot use it in a workflow (because they use roles), you cannot assign permissions (again at least for lifecycle they are assigned to roles). What use case does this support?

We just switched from PTC model manager to Windchill.But now we have no (good) way to have multiple revisions in Creo Elements/Direct. We work with lots of customers, and often they will want to add something on their machine.We then want to have the models of how it was when he first bought the machine, and then we want to add the new stuff. But the new stuff can have a bracket revision with an extra hole in it, and the bracket version the customer already has doesn't have this extra hole. If I want a complete model for the machine of this customer, I need both versions. I know a hole is not that important, but this was just a little example.Is there any way to do this and still have Windchill recognise both revisions?It was possible in model manager, so Creo can handle it.

Hi, I want to automatically set the previous "Released" document to "Obsolete" when a newer revision is promoted to "Released".  This is to avoid having older revisions still having their life cycle state remaining "Released".  I have this code from CS153831 which is just what I think will do the trick, but cannot correctly add it to the workflow.  I tried adding it to the approval transitions to no avail.   Thanks, Mark     wt.doc.WTDocument predecessor = (wt.doc.WTDocument) wt.vc.VersionControlHelper.service.predecessorOf((wt.doc.WTDocument) primaryBusinessObject); if (predecessor != null) predecessor=(wt.doc.WTDocument) wt.lifecycle.LifeCycleHelper.service.setLifeCycleState(predecessor, wt.lifecycle.State.toState("Obsolete") );

I am trying to create a table UI on click on actions command on a popup page. Table is coming a plain page without table borders   Below are the steps followed,   Step 1: Added custom-actionmodels.xml <model name="agileActions" resourceBundle="jp.co.lixil.individualbom.actions.ui.resource.NavigationRB">   <action name="pushParts" type="object"/> <!-- Send Part -->   <action name="pushBOM" type="object"/> <!-- Send BOM -->   <action name="pushDrawing" type="object"/> <!-- Send Drawing -->    <action name="AgilePartsList" type="navigation"/> </model>   Step 2: Added actions in custom-actions.xml <objecttype name="navigation" class="" resourceBundle="com.co.ui.resource.NavigationRB">   <action name="AgilePartsList">               <component name="com.co.agile.parts" windowType="popup"/>     &

Hello all,we use LoadFromFile utility to load parts , docs, n BOMs in Windchill.i have a multilevel BOM.as below..I Found on Bom.XMl on PTC TAN: 129544.. Which gives a simple BOM.XML as below..<?xml version="1.0" ?><!DOCTYPE NmLoader SYSTEM "standard70.dtd"><NmLoader><csvCachePart handler="wt.part.LoadPart.cachePart" > <csvpartNumber>asmA</csvpartNumber> <csvpartVersion>C</csvpartVersion> <csvpartIteration></csvpartIteration> <csvpartView></csvpartView></csvCachePart><csvCachePart handler="wt.part.LoadPart.cachePart" > <csvpartNumber>prtC</csvpartNumber> <csvpartVersion></csvpartVersion> <csvpartIteration></csvpartIteration> <csvpartView></csvpartView></csvCachePart><csvCachePart handler="wt.part.LoadPart.cachePart" > <csvpartNumber>prtD</csvpartNumber> <csvpartVersion></csvpartVersion> <csvpartIteration></csvpa

Publishing of secondary attachmentsHello WVS lovers. I need your expertise. I am posting here & wvs are, to catch more eyes.Hope it offends no one.I really don't have in depth knowledge in the WVS area, so I am here.I am on contract to help a client, so this is their wvs configuration, so I don't know how they are configured.They are only using a office/doc worker. They publish docs to pdfs. Some of those Primary docs haveattachments.The problem they/we are having is that through the publishing scheduler, when I publish whole containers,its actually publishing the Secondary attachments to PDF's.Is it supposed to do that? It is allowed to do that? Where can that be functional?Now they are using a watermark tool (OOTB of customized).But somehow, sporadically the publisher somehow chooses the one of the secondary attachments at the defaultrepresentation, so when they select the "View in ProductView" button/icon, the pdf of the secondary/attachmentPDF pops up. Instead of the watermark

The requirement is very straight forward. I want to Publish secondary content(Attachments) of WTDocument.   Is there any property or customization that need to be done?

Hello everyone, please tell me which file contains the data to connect to the database?I want to change the data to others

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".

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 ?
