Windchill

Hello Experts,   In reading other posts and as a workaround to a problem implementing a SAML project, we are investigating the implementation of a loginHook, override to the SessionUserAuditEvent.LOGIN event by implementing a custom handler to URL encode the '#' character prior to a 302 redirection to the SP &  to maintain the state of a request and ensure a user goes to the requested page instead of the windchill default page.   Is anyone able to advise or comment if this would be the right entry point ?

I have a requirement where I want to restrict the selection of past dates in need date fields in Windchill 11.0, If I update calendar.js it affects searches as well, Any recommendations other than workflow business rules?

Hello all.  We now have a training server (rehosted from production) and would like to fully use emails on it.  Emails cannot currently be distinguished as different from those from production.  We've set a different value for property: wt.mail.from but it doesn't get included in the email.   It would that this would be a very common thing.  Thoughts? thanks

Hi   Background :  There is no data loaded into windchill initially. Below is what we are trying to do: Dummy data is as below : asm1.asm prt1.prt asm2.asm One part (prt1) is common and being used by both parent assembly (asm1 and asm2). What we are doing is as below: Directory1 has prt1 and asm1 where as Directory2 has asm2 (prt1 is not available in folder2)   First of all, open asm1 from Directory1 and try to do checkin of asm1. It is successful. Remove CAD from work space. Now, open asm2 from Directory2 and missing prt1 is auto retrieved from windchill. Do checkin and now we have all 3 CAD object checked in.   Problem Description: This is what it is on windchill configuration one.We have another setup of windchill. Above same scenario with same data is tried out. For directory2 checkin, it results into conflict window. Conflict is asking for readonly object checkout for prt1.   Query :   What is there in windchill setup 1 which doesn't ask f

I am working on a project, where the client wants to integrate their production server with their corporate LDAP server. And they have some 2000 users. They want to dis-connect the users before the LDAP integration. After integrating, they are going to re-connect the users from windchill DB to the corporate LDAP.Can someone explain why this is being done and please give me insight in this...Also will it be easy to re-connect 2000 disconnected users?

Over the last year we have been working on re-structuring our Corp LDAP, e.g. DN names, groups, etc.. In addition when individual are nolonger with the organization and their LDAP account is disabled or deleted from the Corp LDAP. We have seen and defined specific situaltion all requiring different resolution process by either correcting with SQL scripts or using the admin utilities maintenance UI. In some cases Windchill UI functionality does not work so SQL scripts are the only method or the amount of effort required to use the UI is not efficient so scripts are used. In addition updating disconnected principals WTgroups only can be achieved via the maintenance UI.When disconnected principals exist in the system two scenarios occur, 1- disconnected WTusers cause PDM to slow if users are part of a workflow and can cause PDM to stop responding or 2 - disconnected WTgroups will present users attempting to access the system with an error and PDM is not accessible. When either of these oc

Hi, There is an issue with PDM performance.   It takes 5 ~ 40 minutes from CREO to PDM connection depending on the individual. (Generally, it takes a long time to be working with a large assembly.) The cause of the issue is presumably due to differences in client workspace size, DRM environment, and PC spec.   In order to improve performance, we have done the following: 1. Configure PDM Optimization with WCA 2. Remove workspace and clear cache after work   We are reviewing the following items to improve performance. 1. Configure additional vault   Can you please share a solution for a similar issue that you have solved? Or Please check with us for further considerations to further improve performance.   Thanks.   Warm Regards, SeonHo Cha  

We have recently integrated SolidWorks with PTC Windchill. Previously, I have used, NX w/Teamcenter and on the feature tree there was columns for the Revision, State (Released,Obsolete), etc.  Do you know if SolidWorks has anything similar to that?  See attached screenshot for an example.    

  I tried both with Internet Explorer and Chrome. Tried 2 days in a row without success. Other pages in the knowledge base works fine.

When processing a Change Notice we want to get the proposed change reviewed and commented on before we create the new revision of the document. We are trying to capture any comments as an attachment to the Change Notice, however this is quite awkward because the file has to be saved externally and then added back in as a new attachment. Is anybody using any other way to collect review comments within Windchill that overcomes this issue?

Hello, Can anyone please explain the difference between Contributing Image, Image, Contributing content in Windchill?   Please suggest how can we create this in windchill and understand the difference

Hi,   Large assembly file's thumbnail was not generate.. so we change option that 'publish.cadtimeout.assembly' to 10800.   Still no thumbnails are generated. What additional settings should I use to create thumbnails reliably for large assemblies?   Thanks. Warm Regards, SeonHo Cha

I am creating a new Create Document layout. By default, I see under the Primary Content Source area of the layout, a selection box for where the file is and the file name box. I would like to add to this section of the screen layout. In Type manager, I can modify the layout and add fields, but they go either in the Attributes section or the Business section. How do I get these fields into the Primary Content Source section?   Windchill 11.0 m030 CPS16

Some Users Can't See WT parts in windchill. (Also when happens when they search for just wt parts)    Any ideas on how to get them to be able to see them?

Is it possible to pass the username and password through a URL to log a specific user in? (i.e. http://domain.com/gallery/mail.php?user=bob?password=abc123) I   At the moment we are able to view images held in Windchill via SAP Business Objects when a user logs onto the client however when it comes to downloading images to PDF, it goes through the Busness Objects Server which the users do not have access to so we need to find a way to be able to silently pass the Flex  users credentials else the user does not have the ability to download the images.   Thanks

Hi all, Is there any way we can import an excel file and get the excel data into an infotable like for csv files? Regards, Biswa

I have some questions about upgrading Windchill 11.0 to 11.2 on the same hardware.  Currently I have Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2014.  I want to end up with either SQL 2016 or 2017 and Server 2016 or 2019.  I would prefer the latter on both due to not needing to upgrade to the latter in the future then.  My last couple of upgrades have been to new servers so these questions are around having doing it on the same server.  My questions are: Do I need double the disk space for my database? How should I size my database temp and log disks? Do I need to copy my existing vault for the upgrade? Can I have two versions of SQL running on the server for upgrading or should I do the SQL upgrade after completing the Windchill upgrade? Should the Windows Server upgrade be done last? Anything else I need to think of hardware wise? Thank you, Brian

We are using configurable products to filter our BOM and view in Creo View, however my users are complaining that its too many steps, we are using this method at present:   Browse Library Library Folder Library sub-folder Select product from links in folder (go directly to Structure tab) Edit filter Options tab Select Options Open in Creo View I would like to reduce these steps as much as possible by providing links to the filtered structure which open directly into Creo View. Is it possible to create Representations which always show Latest and are also filtered by Variant Specification?

All,   In trying to add a Problem Report to an ECN as an Associated Process Object, I get an error about Association Rule 21. I can attach the PR as an Associated Reference Object with no trouble.  The only thing I could see that might cause a problem, is that both PR's had a WTPart number in common.  Any ideas what this could be?James Windchill 11.0 M030 CPS08

Once you have rehost down they go and change it.  Granted the last rehost I needed to do was 4 years ago but I have another test server and am trying to rehost my production server.  I installed SQL Server and installed the database portion of Windchill. Imported my database and performed the action after import.  Then I copied the Windchill load point and vault over.  Then I set up my rehost.properties file and ran the rehost.  It says it completed successfully.  Windchill will not start and disconnects WindchillDS in the process.  I'm on 11.0 m030.  The last time I did this I was on 10.2.  Does anyone have a document with the steps needed for doing this?  I'm guessing part of it is my LDAP connection.  Any suggestions or help would greatly be appreciated.  I just wish this wasn't always changing.  My instructions should be good to get it working again, but I guess going from Rehost Utility 3.0 to Rehost 11.0 is a major
