Hello everyone, I'm trying to do the example from the documentation again. This time I do it in Intellij Idea. The code from the first page of the documentation was completely rewritten, the code is compiled. But when I try to compile java files from the shell, it fails. Screenshot and files attach.I will be grateful for any help and advice.  

Hi, everybody. I created an expression robot and put code in it Now when I create a Promotion Object, the process does not even begin to run, it is at the start. The error log is as follows:2019-12-11 13:57:44,237 ERROR [IndexQueue1.PollingThread] wt.queue.ProcessingQueue.IndexQueue1 Administrator - Queue entry number: 72107java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetExceptionat sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62)at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43)at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498)at wt.queue.QueueEntry.execute(QueueEntry.java:231)at wt.queue.ProcessingQueue.execEntry(ProcessingQueue.java:312)at wt.queue.ProcessingQueue.execEntries(ProcessingQueue.java:898)at wt.queue.PollingQueueThread.run(PollingQueueThread.java:99)Caused by: wt.util.WTException: Error processing collectionat wt.index.IndexingServiceImpl.updateIndexer

Dear all, I am trying to perform a Windchill ProjectLink update from 10.2 M020 to M030 on linux server but when the process reaches installing and configuring runtime artifacts step after completing workgroup manager installation it fails. In error logs there is no proper information as well. Has anyone faced the issue before? Is there any solution for this?   Error: Installation AbortingThe following 2 logs contain information that may be useful for diagnosing installation problems. Include them in your support requests. Shutdown the installer before accessing any logs to ensure that they are up to date./opt/..../installer/logs/PTCSOLNINSTALLER_PtcInstall.log/opt/..../installer/logs/PTCSOLNINSTALLER_InstallLog.xmlThe installation is aborting due to an unexpected error.java.lang.Exception: Return code was: 1.at com.ptc.windchill.install.suite.actions.InstallModulesLauncher.run(InstallModulesLauncher.java:58)at com.ptc.windchill.install.suite.actions.InstallModulesLauncherIaAction.

For those of you who are using Windchill for CAD file management, and not using WT Parts, how do you handle communicating that one object has been superseded by another?  Do you remove all access to the previous object?   We currently use a pretty simple lifecycle template with only four states: In Work --> Under Review --> Released --> Obsolete   Permissions are configured such that engineering can see everything and those outside of engineering can only see 'Released'.  We've talked about setting the superseded object to 'Obsolete', but right now the only way for something to get set to 'Obsolete' is for an administrator to manually change the object's state.  Since changing the state only affects the current revision, setting something to 'Obsolete' actually requires setting every (previously 'Released') revision of the object to 'Obsolete'.  This really limits it's usefulness and why this is currently an admin only function.   I'm conside

Hi All,   At the moment with standard Multi level BOM i am able to get the level numbers as 0,1 .... I am looking for an option where we could have the Parent number of the child part in the corresponding row when exporting an eBOM or mBOM . This will then be used as an input to Netsuite.   Best Regards Satish

There is a change from 11.0 to 11.2 in the Change Notice functionality that I need to see if anyone has figured out yet.  In 11.0 when I started a CN, there was already a Change Task available to edit while creating the CN.  When you edited this Change Task on the implementation page it would auto populate the Change Task Name to match the Change Notice Name.  Which is something that is a requirement here.  Now there is no Change Task, which you have to create a change task, which is no big deal, but it does not auto populate the name.  How do I get around this?  Do I have to create a template for the CN now?  But that doesn't make sense because that populates with whatever is in the template.

Has anyone out there running the After EDRLoader method run into an issue where when you publish Solidworks files the secondary content isn't attached as Attachments but instead as additional files under the representation?  I'm seeing files added there with portions of the name which makes me wonder if because it's Solidworks files that are being published, there's an additional _sldprt or _slddrw extension that's added on instead of the revision/iteration scheme and that throws off the whole process. 

I have a sneaking suspicion that this is not possible but maybe someone can think of something I can't.   I am specifically trying to find all cad models (part or assembly) that contain a coordinate system named "csys-entry". However this question extends to any feature in a model.   Can anyone think of a way to do this?   I am asking this in the Windchill section because of its reporting capabilities but am open to solutions that may include other tools.

According to this document: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS277240   Towards the bottom is this section: License Validation and Shutdown Behavior Upon start-up and every 24 hours, Windchill synchronizes with PTC backend system and checks for valid license.If the license is invalid or the subscription term has expired, then Windchill shuts down. A grace period of six hours is provided by PTC before shutting down the Windchill instance. In the case of cluster environment, Windchill will shut down in all the nodes. Administrators are presented with notification message before shut down.If Windchill is with active license file and if the daily synchronization fails then Windchill will not shutdown.   My question is: What if your Windchill system is NOT on the internet and therefore cannot communicate with PTC's servers once every 24 hours? What happens to your WIndchill? Are there alternative methods for doing a license che

I have worked through the tutorial of setting up a simple search from saved searches.  What I would like to do is default the saved search to a specific one and not have the saved search list visible. I assume I could call the oid of that search but cannot get that to work.

In 11.0 I have my method servers, background method server and server manager pointing to their own java executable.  Not all of the preferences that I have in my site.xconf file are available in 11.2.  Has anyone done this yet for 11.2?  What are the preferences I need to set and how do I set them?

Hello everyone, how can I access through a JSP file to a database table. I am using MSSQL, at the moment I can refer to the table "EPMDocumentMaster" if I write <jca: describe Table var= "tableDescriptor" type= " wt.epm.EPMDocument" .But I do not understand why the names are different, how to know the name type?Error if I write the name as in the database: Windchill Error No type can be discovered for descriptor: ComponentDescriptor [id="CustomMenubar" label="Part Table" summary="null" disableAction="null" mainType="null" configurableTableId="CustomMenubar" modelAttributes="null" properties="[menubarName:CustEx_table_menubar,saveInitialRows:false,actionModel:CustomToolbar,selectable:true,]" dataUtility="null" descriptorList="[ComponentDescriptor [id="classnamekeyroleAObjectRef" label="Название столбца" summary="null" disableAction="null" mainType="null" configurableTableId="null" modelAttributes="null" properties="[pdesc:CustomMenubar,sortable:true,ascending:true,dataStoreOnly:fal

Is there a way to show whether a file can be shared to a Project or not BEFORE it's shared? For example, on the structure tab of an assembly if there were to be a column view with a "yes you individual user can share this" or "you don't have permission to share this file"... Any thoughts on whether this can be set up?   

Hello everyone, where can I see how the tables that are already on the site were created? I want to understand how they are built, so that I can try to make my table on a real example.

It's possible to load automatically the last version of the standard parts from a specific folder in windchill?  If i update version, for example, of a start part (called "new_prt_template.prt"), i have to reset  whenever the file path in the CONFIG.PRO. Now in the file path compair the version of the start part (in this case "G.2"): "wtpub://Windchill/Start Part CAD/new_prt_template.prt|v=G.2" Thank you. Marco

We have a number of Business Rules in place - which work fine. But the rule conflict tells the user to solve it on the top level part only. But not specifically where in the structure the conflict is. Our structures are huge.    Any idea or experience how to point the user to the conflict location in a huge structure?   thanks in advance    Andreas

I'm trying to install Windchill 11.2 on my Windows Server 2019 with SQL Server 2017 (yes it is in the matrices), but am having issues.  I can get everything to install and connect to Windchill but I cannot login to SQL Server as the database user.  The user that I create during Windchill SQL setup is not listed in the local users like it was in 11.0.  Has anyone else had issue?  Has anyone had a successful installation and be able to connect to the database with the database user?   Thank you, Brian

After much work to stabilize the CAD worker and publishing environment, we started to (want to) depend more on publishing and packaging to generate secondary content. We have the AfterEDRLoader running https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS216668 (option 2) with the idea that when we create packaging, secondary content added as attachments to the primary EPMDocuments would get pulled in as well for our manufacturing teams/vendors. This works well when the secondary content exists as attachments. However, we don't seem to have the representation content getting pulled in (i.e.: if i have say a .pdf, .stp and a .stl generated as part of a new representation, that content doesn't get included in the package). That was the whole reason for going option 2 with the AfterEDRLoader to have that content added into the attachments.  So now what we'd I'd like to do is to have a generation of a delivery zip file trigger publishing for primary content that for whatever reason migh

I am trying to import/create a list of users that I have on a spreadsheet and I was wondering if there is a way I can do this as a bulk.

Hello everyone, please tell me how to find information, how to name a java file? I'm doing an example from the documentation, but I have a difficulty how to name the file that should be created on point number 3  

Hi all,   In PDMLink a New Promotion Request was initiated from wtPart. With the collectors CAD-models were added and also drawings without noticing that the drawings are only in Project context. Still, they were added to the Promotion Request and state changed to Approved once the process went through.   Once the drawings were "Send to PDM" their state changed back to initial which is according to Windchill product spec.   But... it does not make sence how Promotion seemed to work, does it? We have a slightly modified workflow, but I would not expect there's something that affects this behaviour.   11.0 M030 CPS 14
