Windchill

I have created a new Windchill instance (11.0 M030 CPS16) and created a new org admin user. When I go to do things, the OrgAdmin does not have rights to do so. I cannot see the Libraries or Products that wcadmin created. I cannot do a SaveAs to a profile at the org level. I just relogged as the Librarian and that account can see all 3 libraries.   What setting is missing in a new setup that allows the org admin (and other users) to do common tasks?  

Has anyone increased the number of WS frames and then had performance issues that could be tied to the increased number of Frames being saved/cached?   What is the max number of WS frames that you have set it to without noticing any problems?   Although the default currently is 40 (WC11), I have had mine set to 100 ever since we started using them (probably around WC 9.1).  I don't think any problems I have had are tied to it, but hard to be certain.  I want to change it for everyone.     I also read in an old thread that, unfortunately, it is not 40 frames per WS but 40 per user.  So even 100 seems low in that context.  The good news is that the help file says that only frames go toward that subtotal and not all events in the WS event manager.

Hello Windchill Friends,   This will be my last post as I am leaving the Wonderful World of Windchill for another career opportunity.  Since I got so many good info from this forum, as my final give back here's the latest gotcha that I discovered:   In short: I went to install the 11.0-M030-CPS16 Critical Patch set on the customer's Pro/Intralink 11.0 server.  Install failed at the update of the bundled Oracle DB server:   DEBUG 2019-08-30 09:59:11 - java.lang.RuntimeException: Upgrading Oracle Database 12.2.0.1 failed   Confirmed that the 11.0 Pro/Intralink build requires the database to be upgraded in advance, meaning that the only way to mitigate the CWE-502 issue for this install is to apply the temp "11.0-M030-CPS15_CPSXB1 jar patch".   Customer will need to upgrade the install to 11.1 or 11.2 from here, in order to be able to use the Oracle 12c.R2 release.   Thanks all!  Best of luck with your PTC products!      

I work At Continental and we have the following below (See pictures below) situation. When I open a Word document by (default I Open and download, asking for check-out), now I see that the resulting value showed in "word" is AA.6 but due to the fact that I just checked-out it should be AA.7 (this value inserted by windchill menu  ), I have no clear which can be the problem ? When i create document in wise (In autonumbering mode) is mandatory to load local file, but in this case I have later to check-out download, rename the file and upload again, and chek-in !? Also another task to see deeper is the procedure of "Save as" of Microsoft office documents !? The online resource are not enough precise and do not describe any best practice or example, can somebody share his experience or suggestion regarding this topic ???

Hi all,   does anyone has the "wtBackup" for Windchill 11.1 to share or knows where I only have an older Version and it does not work for this release. I know it is not officially supported by PTC.   Thanks Daniel    

Last time, I showed you how security labels can be added to your table displays for CAD workgroup managers (here).  In addition, a new capability for setting security label values for newly created CAD data has been introduced.  The implementation is quite different from how it is done for Documents and Parts (wizard based approach).  It is also not enabled by default even when security labels are configured, so I thought I would show you.   It is often the case where new CAD documents in Windchill are created directly from the CAD tool itself (using File > New) and then saving these files to the workspace. At this point, access to these objects is only available to the user that owns the workspace.  Other users do not become aware or have access until these new CAD documents are checked-in.  So, this is where we introduced the ability for setting security labels on newly created CAD documents.  You do this by adding your security labels to the tab

Hi   I have a part file on local disk. I can open the same in Creo. Activate Wind chill Server within Creo and can check in the opened part (present into local disk) to windchill.   My query is how to do check in of part from local disk from windchill browser without opening Creo. Can I checkin part file from disk space to windchill if Creo is not installed on my machine?

We have set up our system to use security labels to control access to ITAR data. I would like to be able to search for data tagged to a specific ITAR agreement, however by default I cannot search for a security label. Has anybody found a way to use a security label as a criteria in a search?

I am not an expert in Apache configuration but I've been in the tool enough to know the basic plumbing.  We are looking to use a new LDAP proxy for two factor authentication. This proxy checks both AD and a DUO server when a user logs in. Both keys are provided by the users. What I am being told is that the Apache server is checking LDAP every time each URL or request is clicked. We are using basic authentication.     They had expected the webserver to only ask once on creation of the session for credentials but cache those and not check again.  I am 100% sure that Apache is hitting back to the LDAP proxy each url click.  This means when the pin code for 2FA expires after a few mins, the authentication fails and the user gets prompted for login.  This is not experience when using just AD authentication. Is there a setting that is not default with Windchill's Apache configuration that tells it to not contact AD again when it already received a thumbs u

HI all,   I am  using Apply-Service webject to fetch alternates from part. Below is the code snippet.   <ie:webject name="Apply-Service" type="OBJ">    <ie:param name="INSTANCE"   data="${FORM[]instance[]}" default="windchill"/>    <ie:param name="SERVICE"   data="wt.part.WTPartHelper"/>    <ie:param name="METHOD"   data="getAlternatesWTPartMasters"/>    <ie:param name="STATIC"   data="false"/>    <ie:param name="GROUP_IN"   data="parts"/>    <ie:param name="ARG"   data="wt.part.WTPartMaster=masterReference" delim=";"/>    <ie:param name="GROUP_OUT"   data="alt"/></ie:webject>   For one particular part , the code executes till last line i.e. "<ie:param name="GROUP_OUT"   data="alt"/>" . After that the control is not coming ou

Hi   We have registered server from Creo. It has three workspaces. I observed a random behavior and could not also identify when it behaves like this.   Once I click to change workspace from Creo by doing manage server, sometime external browser gets opened outside of Creo which I need to close twice or thrice before I could see changed active workspace from Creo . I am not sure when this happen as each time external browser for Wind chill is not opened.   How to avoid this problem?

When searching for reference documents related to Windchill PDMLink, no results appear.    Used: No keyword, Windchill PDMLink M030 (or all versions) and all document types.  Returns no results.   This needs fixed ASAP.  

Hi Folks, Anyone know of a way to create link to the highest version of a primary content file?   If not, how about a static link to the object itself?   Perhaps post a link on a document: Create a JSP page that accepts a parameter (docNumber). Then it has to get the latest version (Released for Production) of the document by querying, from a URL for the information page and forward it to that URL.

How to create new documents from the templates of a specific library and attaching the newly created documents as related objects automatically when creating a new WTpart , Can anyone help me with this??

Hi All, I'm looking at an issue we have. Some users are collating copies of released drawings in PDF outside of Windchill because it's too much pain pulling a full drawing set from the products and Libraries. We have project Link but are restricted from using this externally.   Does anyone have a similar issue and how have you resolved this?   #Looking for ideas. Thanks in advance

HiAs we have attribute in windchill, we have parameter in Creo.... As far as I know, people maps attribute and parameter...Question is related to system attribute for cad file....one of the attribute is date created.value for the same is default date time at which one has checked in. can we change this from Creo parameter by any chance? Any other way is there to change this or not ?

A hypothetical has been lobbed my way and I don't have a concrete answer. We have 20 Contexts and Libraries. They all use a simple revision series; -, A, B, C, etc. The new question I've been asked to explore is whether it's possible to have one (or perhaps more than one) context/library follow a different revision series; -, -1, -2, -3, A, A1, A2, A3, B B1, B2, B3, etc. I feel like I saw something about this being possible some time ago, but I've yet to get any sort of useful results on the eSupport Portal for any query since PTC "upgraded" it awhile back. So, is it possible to have different revision series for different contexts/libraries? If so, where is this outlined?

Does anyone know of a way with (minimal to nocustomization) to have the system delete objects in the system that have been removed from the resulting objects table of a change task? Or maybe some way to efficiently search for all theseorphaned resulting objectsso they could more easily be manually deleted?My understanding of WC10 out of the box funtionality is that if I decided to revise an object into the resulting objects table of the change task the next rev of the affected object (let's say B) is created in the system and displayedin the resulting objectstable. If I then decide I will not be making a change and do notneed to revise that object toB and removerevB from my resulting objects table, Rev B still exists in the system. I need to find some relatively efficient way of deleting those objects from the system without customizing the system to do it automatically.Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!

We use Creo 4.0 M070  with Windchill 11.0 M030-CPS13.   The problem occurs when the user is not working for a certain period of time (for example 1 hour).   During the period of Window 7 usage we met "offline appearance" very rarely. Now on Windows 10 this phenomenon is more common. Do you have any explanation ?   Thanks in advance for any piece of information.  

We ran into a bit of a bug with Windchill and it's causing us some heartburn. We have tickets in place and all to get it fixed, but we're trying to find a short term solution and PTC has yet to be able to give us a reasonable answer so I'm turning to you the community.   So 2 months ago I asked for help on a (seemingly) simple Query Builder report. We've all seen the structure report if you're using Product Structure right? And the BOM reports? Well we're looking for an Instance report.   On the structure tab for a Part Instance there is a listed structure. A part instance As-Built with serial numbers.   For given instance   Assembly1               Instance: 001A      Subassembly2     Instance: 002A      Subassembly2     Instance: 002B   You might also have   Assembly1      &nbsp
