Windchill

Hi Everyone, I am currently working on a project to improve the way we manage our Product Labels in Windchill.  The team is struggling with the data architecture and authoring tool options at our disposal.  Would anyone be willing to divulge their current solution?  I'm interested in the tool used to author the label graphics and Windchill objects used to manage the content.  Thanks!   Patrick Williams

Hi,is there an option to set a specific JRE for Creo, Windchill, ...We are limited to Java 7 because of Windchill 10.2. So I'd like to install Java 7 in a seperate Folder and use it only for Creo.We are using the mozilla based browser.br Bernhard

Hello,   So, I have successfully coded an expression robot to move objects from one subfolder to another...within the same Product, but I have need to move them from one Product to another.   i.e.: FROM current location... site/myOrg/Product_WIP/SomeAreaFolder/CurrentFolder TO location... site/myOrg/Product_PROD/Somewhere/DestinationFolder (just need the java address of this?)   In java, the initial address is "/Default/AreaFolder/CurrentFolder".  I can move object anywhere within Product_WIP or /Default no problem, such as "/Default/AreaFolder/NewFolder".   With "/Default" being the "top" folder (which is 1 Product_WIP)...how do I address for folders in Product_PROD?  Normal java relative paths do not work like "../folder-up1level".   Thanks, ~PB

Hello, please tell me what type should be the variable obj ? I found an example of editing a template https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS150777 , but there was a problem with the type of variable, tried everything I knew and everything that was recommended, it did not work to pass the test.   CODE: ​wt.maturity.PromotionNotice notice = (wt.maturity.PromotionNotice)primaryBusinessObject;                 wt.fc.QueryResult results = wt.maturity.MaturityHelper.service.getPromotionTargets(notice);                 while (results.hasMoreElements())                  {                          obj = results.nextElement();  &nbsp

Hello Steve,Thanks for sharing this qml report definition! Very handy. One quick question, how do I display the user name who has the items checked out when I run the report? I can see the names when I preview from the query builder, but not when I run the report.Thanks again!

1. Let’s assume Master Windchill is located in “UK”2. We want to use same Master Windchill in “Canada” and “Netherlands” as well. But we have an Export control and security control policies which says that: Ø The Data or files created in Canada, they should be vaulted to Canada and does not go to Master in UkØ Same for Netherlands Data or files created in Netherland, they should be vaulted to Netherland and does not go to Master in UK Is this scenario is possible to achieve when UK is master server and Canada and Netherland is “File Server”. If yes, how can we achieve this ?? for example · Vaulting rules ?· File Vault configuration ?· No Replication/Sync to Master in UK?? Looking forward for your suggestions.

We are currently looking into providing an area of the PDMLink database for storing Export Controlled data.I have created a Product with the appropriate aaccess rules for the users but now I need to make sure that the physical CREO files do not get stored on the Master server which is in another country. I want to store these files on our local replication server only. The files must also not get replicated to any other replication servers either.Is there anyone out there who has already done this and can give me some guidance regarding the setting up of vaulting rules, an example of a rule would be good.Thanks in advance

HiBackground : I have an assembly A.asm which has three child parts p1.prt , p2.prt and p3.prt..These four objects are available on windchill.I got these four objects from other users through email. He had modified and don't have windchill. So, I saved it on local drive on computer.I opened assembly in Creo from disk (so all four updated objects in Creo), checked out assembly from windchill. Performed default check in of assembly from Creo.With this operation, I got assembly and parts iterated to next version on windchill.Problem Description:This is what it is (all four objects iterated to next version) on windchill configuration one.We have another setup of windchill. Above same scenario with same data is tried out. There I got only assembly updated to next iteration, not dependent parts.Query :What is there in windchill setup 1 which updates all four objects to next iteration by simply doing check in of assembly? In other words, what could be done on setup 2 or setup one to make both

Hello PTC Community, I am fairly new to both Java and especially to the WC API, but I muddle through ok. I am stuck on some API and need the guru help! The intent: check for next available Version (Rev), common to a WTSet (that part works), then if the result is numeric, rev the whole WTSet to A.1, or if the result is alpha, then rev the whole set to the result. Most of the time the items should all be numeric, going to A.1, which is "legal" in our WC setup. I have tried both the following approaches: newVersion(Versioned version, VersionIdentifier version_id, IterationIdentifier iteration_id)-OR-newAdHocStringVersion(AdHocStringVersioned version, java.lang.String adHocVersionId)   I gave up on "newVersion" because I could not get the "userClassName" reference to work out in MultilevelSeries (needed for VersionIdentifier)...there is no explanation for what is realy needed in this argument in the API. I tried using several things as the "user". Here are a few with the associated er

We are using the Thingview widget on a mashup and want to use the "Views" functionality. The function works fine with the first model (extracting the views from the Thingview, storing as infotable and then binding the list again to the "Views").    However, when we load a new model (changing "ProductToView") the previous views seem to stay in memory and the new views (from the new model) are added to the list. I do not think that this is due to my implementation (have tried many workarounds). The only thing that seems to work is to completely refresh the webpage.   Did anyone experience the same behaviour and is there any known workaround that actually resets the ThingView widget?

I am currently working on modeling a large and complex system in WRR. The problem I am having is that WRR seems to be hanging up when trying to generate the cut set for the diagram. It gets to 1%, or 24%, or 2 etc, and then will stay at that level of progress for hours without progressing any further. Is there any known issues with the way that it calculates cut sets off of the RBD, or any methods of modeling that the cut set generator has a hard time with? Is it possible that the model is just too large?

 Greetings all.   I'm a novice Report writer, but I'm giving it a whirl.  I've written a small report to return all parts that have been Superseded in Windchill.  I can get that, and the State of the WTPart that was the result of the super-session.  What I can't seem to collect is the state of the Superseded part?  Strange to me that I can't seem to collect both. Every time I add a second lifecycle to the report, I get duplicates and an incorrect result. I've Photoshopped what I'm looking for and attached the QML.  Anyone got any ideas?  Thanks in Advance.   James Windchill 11.0 M030

Hello, please tell me how can find the location of template files on local computer? I tried to find "default" of type "jsp", but after long searches did not define where it is    

Need to apply option filter on the WTPart structure programmatically. What API's to be used ?

Attach screenshots of files in XML format  

Is there a way to modify the additional files published names by using model parameters (like revision, or version, for example) as a suffix?  What I'd like to do is something like this: <publish on="create-representation" display-label="Publish w/ additional files" additional-files="dump_to_all" output-suffix=">{revision parameter} </> but as another post noted, the keys aren't available.   

Is it possible to check how much time an engineer spends on a project? Maybe is there any option in his workspace? 

Does anyone know the syntax required to access the comments entered for each promotion object line on a promotion request?   I have the syntax necessary to loop through each object in the baseline, but these are the actual EPMDocuments and don't contain the comments that are part of the promotion request (as far as I can tell.) wt.maturity.StandardMaturityService p = new wt.maturity.StandardMaturityService(); wt.maturity.PromotionNotice pn =(wt.maturity.PromotionNotice)primaryBusinessObject; wt.fc.QueryResult pn_targets; pn_targets = (wt.fc.QueryResult) p.getBaselineItems(pn); wt.epm.EPMDocument epmDoc = new wt.epm.EPMDocument(); while (pn_targets.hasMoreElements()) { Object obj =pn_targets.nextElement(); String objType =obj.getClass().getName(); if (objType.equals("wt.epm.EPMDocument")) { epmDoc = (wt.epm.EPMDocument)obj; String epmNumber = epmDoc.getNumber().toString(); String epmName = epmDoc.getName(); String epmCADName = epmDoc.getCADName(); String epmVersion =

Hi, I am trying to rename a published  additional file of pdf type and download it to local.I referred articles CS216668 & CS252900 that suggest using afterloader hook methods.I was able to rename the primary content of the published file from the attribute values but however am not able to download the same to local.The articles show 2 methods - CS252900 renames the primary content of additional file using attribute info but no provision to download the same CS216668 creates and saves a copy of the viewable as an attachment, renames it and is downloaded. I am unable to combine both, as in rename the primary content of the additional file and downaload the same. I tried creating a seperate workflow containing a 'download to local' expression at Released state for the published additonal file but was only successful the first time.For the next iteration published the workflow isnt triggered and no file is downloaded. Anybody has any thoughts on this?

Hello, This is my first article in this community as I just started supporting PTC Windchill in our company. We are facing a new challenge where we are segregating our activities in two network areas to enhance the security on our projects using controlled data.   I would like to check with the community if it is possible to limit the access to specific parts based on the IP address of the client. Basically, I want users to be able to see controlled parts into an assembly only if they are in the right network area.   Thanks in advance for your support!

I'm currently using Selenium WebDriver to automate testing for Windchill, and I'm running into a problem.  When the authentication window pops up, it pops up as an alert.  Since it pops up as an alert, I can't automate the input of the username and password.  There's no functions that allow for it.  Any tips on how to fix this?  I'm using Selenium 3, Java 8 and Firefox 45.

Greetings,   We have a PDF folder in Windchill that has many PDF's. Each one has many revs saved for each time we change them. I use REPLACE CONTENT. But it seems like you hav to do one at a time. Is it possible to do multiple?   Release: 11.0 M030-CPS13   Thanks,   WayneF

Hello, can you please tell me how to edit the templates? I tried to change the process template on the "Task" page, but when updating, creating a new "Promotion Request", the process did not change, pressing the "Check in" button did not help either  

Previous post was marked as spam? Seems PTC doesn't want the word out that their programs don't work. Oh well, here we go again:   I am running Creo 5.0.4.0 with Windchill 11.1 on Windows 10.1 This issue was first discovered while I was running Creo 5.0.0.0 on Windows 10.1. After upgrading to Creo 5.0.4.0, the issue was fixed for about a week. Since then, the issue has come back and I cannot check-in through the embedded Windchill browser on Creo.   I have run into an issue where I am unable to check-in, revise, or set state of files when the operation is done from my workspace or Windchill Commonspace. However, I am able to check-in by opening parts in Creo, and using the manual File>Check-in option.   At first I thought it was just being slow. I let it sit over the weekend and the loading wheel never stopped. It seems like the embedded browser is getting "stuck" after I click the check-in button on the embedded browser.   So far, I have tried the following: * C
