Customer environment information: Windchill 11.0 M030-CPS14 ~Creating Calculated attribute for WTPart~Created expression using some maths as workaround is:- ((!isNull(${alternateMass}) ? ${alternateMass} : unit("0 kg")) * 1) == unit("0 kg") ? ${reportedMass} : ${alternateMass} which is executed correctly~Expression using condition:-((isNull(${alternateMass}) || (${alternateMass} == unit("0 kg"))) ? ${reportedMass} : ${alternateMass}) which is giving some inappropriate output

As per this thread - same question:   Hi Did you get a solution to this? Also looking to persist the Task Comments during the Task Completion transition on an assigned activity....

I have a large amount of supplier FIT data that is more up to date than the 217 FN2 failure rate data included in the libraries of WQS. I have loaded a lot of that in as specified failure rates and updated the data into a user library. The problem is by using so many specified values the mission calculations based on the mission profile are not adjusting for temperature changes.   I have updated my user library using the import wizard for parts with an updated lambda B or base failure rate on 3 parts successfully. Then I tried to use the same import template to load several hundred parts and none of the lambda Bs updated. I can change a part from tagged to untagged or specified failure rate or calculated failure rate. I am very puzzled why I could change lambda B once but not again.    Has anybody done this? If you have or you have suggestions please let me hear from you.   BTW - I exported my user library into an excel file and none of the lambdas or Pi v

Hi all, I want to know how to realize the function with QuerySpec or other measure same as SQL statement of "select for update".I found "qs.setLock(true)" api, but according to TS it is unsupported api.   backgound:Target class is created with Information Modeler to manage specific list of numbers. Stored numbers on the database table need to be exclusively used with WTPart each by each. So I want to update the column which means processed flag when a record is used. I think a record should be locked when it is extracted first.

Has anyone used Windchill to do the following :     For any of Ansys, Abaqus, or Star-CCM+, an analysis contains: All documentation and notes; Analysis geometry, setup, input files; Reports, slide decks, non-direct analysis results (i.e. excel or Mathcad calculations); Anything else produced to support the effort during the analysis; txt file and all files necessary to recreate the results.   These are split up into ~5 different folders for organization. Each folder may have up to hundreds of sub files and folders.   We would want a system which would retain all of the files except certain file extension types we have identified which are the results files. These could be recreated at a later date a represent many TBs of data. I would want this step to be automated.   Every analysis reports to a part number (or assembly number) and can be categorized into its analysis type (Structural, Thermal, CFD, EMag, Coupled, etc.). Sometimes there is an add-on

How do you set the lifecycle state of a document in Windchill using the Windchill OData REST services (documentation attached)?   Information on setting a lifecycle state starts on page 72, but is relatively vague.   Here's my POST request in Postman (which is wrong):     Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have a question about viewing Alternate BOMs.We have many assemblies that contain an Alternate BOM and many that do not.  We only use the Design view in our organization. When we search for Part Numbers we can see the Alt BOM show up in the search table.  That much is clear.But I'm wondering if there's any way to flag a WTPart as having an Alt BOM for our general Users. That is , some way to say that THIS WTPart has an Alt BOM, and THAT WTPart does not.  I'm hoping for something obvious to the more casual or general User.Thanks in advance.James HallWindchill 11.0 M030 CPS09WGM 11.0 M030Inventor Pro 2017

Hello,          I want to create a WTPart part object using Rest API. This is possible, but I am not able to provide a specific subtype name. I can not found any Odata for that. Can any one help me with an example to create part of subtype using REST API ?  

We have a user who has revised instances so that the latest generic is incompatible with some latest instances.     I was trying to use the following article https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS128366 I can't find the option 'Per Workspace Configuration' described in the article. Note, I don't want to revise all objects as it would include an ECN and sending out new drawings to the supplier. We're using PDMLink 10.2 M030-CSP25   Anyone who have used the process in the article or have another solution for aligning the latest generic with all latest instances?  

Hello users.   We use Windchill 10.1 and within our work processes we generate tasks for users. These tasks tell users a series of instructions to perform.   Changing the browser language changes everything about the task received by the user except the instruction text. It is a value from the statements field within the activity tab within the task object.)   Would there be any way to translate these instructions as it is done with one's own objects and attributes? Any solution that does not involve sending the text in several languages (since it is limited to 2000 characters) would be useful to us.   Many thanks,Greetings.

Hello,I am working to fix some data integrity issues we have after migrating from Agile to Windchill.I need to change the Revisions for some iterations, but I cannot use the ChangeRevisionLabelUtility.I was able to update on the "WTPart" table the "versionIdA2versionInfo", "versionSortIdA2versionInfo", "iterationIdA2iterationInfo" columns, on the "ControlBranch" table the"versionId" column.This works fine, the RevisionLabelCleanser shows no issues, however I have the "Revise" action available only on the version 3X.2 (was D.2 before the SQL change).This means that something is wrong on my query.This is what I know so far.ControlBranch CB, WTPart P, WTPartMaster M:CB.idA3B5=M.idA2A2CB.idA3C5='0'P.idA3masterReference=M.idA2A2For example, this is what I used to change the version from D.2 to 3X.2:update ControlBranch set versionId='A', idA3C5='720510629' where idA2A2 in (select CB.idA2A2 from WTPart P, WTPartMaster M, ControlBranch CB where CB.idA3B5=M.idA2A2 and CB.idA3C5='0' and P.idA3m

Does WRS 1.5 has out of the box domain for Workflow and promotion requests? 1) Creating/updated Promotion Request 2) Accessing workflow task information 3) Ability to complete Workflow task   I developed Web Service in RestEasy framework for the Workflow tasks.

Hi,   If a change notice is "saved" with the Submit Later option, what is the actual status of the CN? The Windchill HC is a little vague in this area and I have a few questions. Is the object pending creation? Has the workflow initiated? What happens if more than one user creates a CN with Submit Later and includes the same objects on it? Is there any visibility for others to know about the pending CN? Should the change status column show a pending CN in the Submit Later state? I like this option because it allows people to mature the CN over time, but I'd like to have more visibility to it for others. Maybe I'm just missing something simple?   -Scott  

Recently I've noticed one of our regions is adding (on the Content Tab) URLs to outside websites.  Since we are a cloud based system, I am extremely concerned about that site being an opening into our system.  Which makes me wonder about a couple questions.1. Has anyone experienced anything like a security breach via an external URL link?  2. What is the easiest way to restrict people from adding URLs to WTParts or WTDocuments?   James   Windchill 11.0 M030 CPS08  

Change Object Discussions: Is it possible, and if so, then how can the resolved ECNs' discussion topics become read-only (like a permanent "check-out") and new ones cannot be made?Basically would like to lock the discussions after an ECN is resolved.

When we create a new document in 11.1, the security labels tab now appears before the attributes tab. Is this normal?

Hello users.   I have a doubt which I need to consult with you to solve an issue that we are dealing with.   What I need is to enable certain documents to view them as such in the file explorer, both hidden and the non-hidden, but users can't open them, edit them, or even click on them.   Simply view the information displayed in the file browser and also on the advanced search results. Just view the information such as the extension and including a formal disabling of the document link.   Thanks!

We are trying to attach file to custom ChangeRequest object. We are using "Add-ContentItems" webject. We call Start-Session and Start-Transaction webject before calling this webject.   The file gets attached to ChangeRequest object but it throws exception. No ApplicationData object is returned. Later when we fetch ApplicationData object we are able to fetch it.   I have attached the .XML file and Method server logs.

Hi, After a fresh install of Windchill auto generated numbering starts with 10 digits: 0000000001 And versions/revisions with a letter: A, makes 0000000001 - A I'm setting everything up but I would like to change 2 things: 1. numbering that starts with 7 (as 0000000001 and up is already in use): 7000000001 2. revisions start with a number, no letter: 70000000001- 00 This on organization level, but as XML is a new world to be it seems like it is really hard... Not something that is quickly done? Please help, I'm quite stuck and as long as this is not set up, I can't get Windchill to use. Thank you!

Hey Folks,   I have a part that was revised when it was A.8, now it's B.1. I need the data that when it was A.7. So basically i opened the A.7 and checked-in and i thought i would be B.2 but it didn't. It became A.9  instead of being B.2 and get associated to WTPart which is B. Whenever I try to remove its association from WTPart I got this error message.   I need your advices.   Thank you.

Hi  I need to export the attributes of a particular "BOM part", it's associated attachments (like specifications, guidelines...) and it's BOM (if it is as assembly).   The sample format that I am attaching herewith.   I know that Report builder can generate  a nice report with all info needed. But from there to bring to this format, I need to build macros inside Excel.    But is there any document/method to take query report definitions and pass to some script to generate this report? or directly (without going through query builder?).    Thanks Ravi
