Windchill

Dear All I am currently testing some OIR ideas for our Windchill 11.1 installation and would be great full for some assistance We file our Production CAD and WTparts based on the first 2 characters of the number in the past we have done this manually I have been working on the below script which will correctly file the part based on first 2 characters but I need to add around 1000 repeats of the code to cover all the options. Is there a way to make the substring extracted value to an attribute then use it to build the folder.id <AttrValue id="folder.id" algorithm="com.ptc.core.foundation.folder.server.impl.FolderPathAttributeAlgorithm"    ignore="false"    force="false"    final="false"> <Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.CaseBranch"> <Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.StringRegExEqualsTest"> <Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.Substring"> <Attr id="number"/> <Arg>0</Arg> <Arg>2</Arg> </Value> &

I want to fetch operation based on part tag filter(Same as Edit filter functionality of process plan)? Is there any API to achieve this?   Thanks, Jalpesh        

On the Change Request Information Page, the history tab does not show revision history of the change request.  Per the KB it appears that this can be enabled: Revision History—controlled by a preference; the default is No http://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/whc/whc_en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/ChgMgmtChangeRequestInfoPageRef.html   How do I set this so the revision history for a chagne request will be visable.  I will want to do that same thing for problem reports, promotion requests, chance notice, and variances.   Basically I want to see history if someone edits one of these objects, for example the title or description of a promotion request is modified 

Under the Type and Attribute management Manage Types screen, there are many data types defined. When one is selected, it lists a lot of system defined attributes and allows you to create new attributes. My first question is: How do you add a new attribute that has already been added under the Manage Reusable Attributes tab?   The second part of this is concerning Layouts. There are a number of layouts listed with default attributes listed. I can added a new 'table' to the layout with default attributes, but how do I add the added attributes from the Manager Reusable Attributes tab?   Question three is: How do you specify which layout screen is used where with the View Information screens of an object? Between different Types, the default list of layout names are different.    Looking on my existing production system, when I look at the CAD Part object type and open the various layouts, none of them have the information that is displayed in the same order as the View

Hello,   Generally, when I open the info page of a WTDocument using an URL like: https://<server>:<port>/Windchill/app/#ptc1/tcomp/infoPage?oid=VR:wt.doc.WTDocument:xxxxxxxxxx the page displays "Details" tab.   I would like to be able to open a specific tab ("Changes" for example) using an URL. Is there any hint how can I achieve it (parameter to be added in the URL, cookies to be set...)?   Thanks in advance.

I am the CAD captain for my FIRST robotics team and we have used Windchill for 2 years without problems. Now our Windchill server says it is offline and I don't know how to get it back online. This started happening in September.

Hi Team,   we are facing issues with Business Rules Execution. we are using WC 11.1 M010.   we have added new custom business rule under ORG which checks if child parts are in desire state or not While releasing the BOM via promotion request wrokflow. We have added the state check logic in “prepareForValidation” method And returning the validation status in “RuleValidationResult” from “performValidation” (Success, failure) While execution Only prepareForValidation() is getting executed not the performValidation() method as we can see SOP in MS logs, hence empty validationResult, code doesnt show any errors even after we have enabled the logs trace levels.   is there any steps that i am missing while calling the business rule? any suggestions why this issue is occurring ?

New install of WQS 11.0 limits the number of records displayed for FRACAS incidents.  This problem occurs across multiple projects.  No filters have been applied by the user.  How do I correct this to display all incidents?

Is it possible to link a WTPart to another WTPart?  The scenario is for electrical connectors where a plug has its mating socket.    I don't see an out-of-the-box link for that, but I've heard of configurable links. Is that the way to go? Or is there a better way to capture the plug/socket relationship?

Greetings,   I had a request from a user that I'm looking into.  What's the easiest way to return all objects that have a Pending Change Icon on them?   We are about to go live with Windchill 11.0 M030.  Right now I can't get into our system since it is in the middle of data transfer.   Any ideas?   JamesWindchill 11.0 M030 CPS09WGM 11.0 M030Inventor Pro 2017Windows 10SAP Version 7400.3.10.1126

Hello All,   I have to restrict Secondary content from becoming part of Zip file which is created  in Package. OOTB " Externally Distributable" Flag is present, but it only considering for Primary Content, not for Secondary Content.

Create Delivery for Package, From Delivery create Zip file for Delivery, this Zip file will content Primary as well as Secondary content.   Here how to restrict /control  Secondary content from becoming part of this Zip file.   Regards, Vivek

PTC.ProdMgmt.GetBOM?$expand=Components($expand=Part;$levels=max)   GetBOM action takes only 1-10 levels as input to "levels", and max is 10. Is there any possibility we can customize the maximum level allowed? EX: can I see BOM structure for 18 levels using the following POST request. PTC.ProdMgmt.GetBOM?$expand=Components($expand=Part;$levels=18)

Hello,   we developed scripts using WindchillConnector template services. Those worked fine with connecting to Windchill and getting data publishing on twx mashups.   Later I came across WindchillSwaggerConnector template. The REST API features seems to be powerful.   So I got few questions. Could you clarify these please ?   1. Why two templates with same " Windchill connection" feature ? reason ?2. Which template should be used in a long run project ? 3. Is there any framework or sample  present to refer on "how to use WindchillSwaggerConnector" more efficiently ?   Many Thanks!Rajesh

Hi there, I would be enable the advanced search for empty and single wildcard (*). The Windchill documentation states that this can be done by setting the property com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.search.advancesearch.enableEmptySearch to true.   I am used to edit settings with the xconfmanager tool. The command   xconfmanager -s com.ptc.windchill.enterpise.search.advancesearch.enableEmptySearch=true -t codebase\wt.properties -p failed with this error message: 0 [main] ERROR com.ptc.windchill.structconf.StructConfManager - Extra unrecognized arguments: "com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.search.advancesearch.enableEmptySearch=trueá -t"," codebase\wt.properties -p" So my question is: How do I properly set this option in wt.properties.xconf?   And how can I revert the changes?   Thank you in advance for your comments.   Kind regards Petra    

Greetings.   Currently, my task is to research various capabilities with Windchill. One question that has presented itself is the ability to save documents locally (outside of Windchill). For example, a book file that contains references to other files and images.   - How does one save this file and all its dependencies as XML and save it locally (Windows 7)? Thank you

I'm rehosting from production to development.  The production server has replica vaults.  Is there a way to disable the replica vaults on the development system prior to rehosting, not using Windchill interface to do it?     Here's the problem that just occurred.  Data was copied from production to dev on Friday. Weekend maintenance restarted dev and production.  Dev was still pointing to the production replica vaults and the when production was restarted it failed to restart because it thought there was an additional cluster (dev windchill system not rehosted).  One thought was to disable services from being started on the dev server, but this does not keep an admin from manually starting windchill. 

Hi,I have one asm file which has only two dependent part files... I got these three cad data files from user who had no windchill access and just created files locally..I have registered server in creo and opened that ASM file from local dial.. I performed default check in for ASM file... This resulted into check in of all three cad data (parts and asm) due to dependency...Here is my concern now... When I checked into ASM related objects, I could not find part files... How to have parts as related objects for an assembly file ?

So far, I have not found that PTC has informed its customers exactly where (what third-party) text was being sent to for spell checking in Windchill.  I believe customers have a right to know when their data is being sent to an outside party, the details of to whom the data is sent.

Hopefully someone can assist. In our previous version of WGM 11.0 our users were able to move and resize action boxes to whatever monitor they wanted and resize them they way they want and it would save the location and size. This is no longer the case with 11.1. Whenever an action box is opened it is automatically put in the top left of monitor 1 unlike previous versions we were able to move them to monitor 2 and once done with them it would save that location and when it was brought up again would appear in the same location it was left. Is this possible in 11.1 M020?

Hi, I have admin rights for Windchill quality Solutions 11.0(FRACAS).How do I check for Login Logs on the server? Thanks 🙂

Hello, I have a Windchill query-object which is returning the exception size has exceeded the limit of 200000. I updated the limit to 400000 then I got the result which strangely counts less then 200000. Then I tryed to add paging to the query but got this exception: Exception message: com.ptc.core.command.common.CommandException: (wt.pom.pomResource/22) wt.pds.PartialResultException: Search results size has exceeded the limit set by the System Administrator.Nested exception is: (wt.pom.pomResource/22) wt.pds.PartialResultException: Search results size has exceeded the limit set by the System Administrator.   Could you please help? Thanks in advance.    

I am having a Windchill error when I try to access the database.  The PTC logo comes up but then it times out and says "Service Unavailable".  The Windchill database is on a server and I am accessing from my PC.  We recently had a new security router installed and the IP addresses were changed.  I think this could be part of the issue but I can't find where to fix it.  If I go to the Apache server name in my browser I get the "It Works!" message.  But the log files in Windchill show the method server is not connecting.  I don't know how to fix this.  I have updated the httpd.conf file in the Apache setup folder to show the new IP but it didn't help.   Can someone please help?

Has anyone ever seen the attached error?I am deploying Windchill Intralink 9.1 M060 to a few test users. (not production yet)One user is seeing this error when opening or interacting with every Windchill page. No one else affected.However, it is only happening within the embedded browser within Pro/E (Wildfire 3 M240).No problems in a standalone browser (Internect Explorer 7).Regardless of how the user responds (Yes/No) the page is incomplete/incorrect.For example: No workspaces are listed even though some were created by the user in the standalone browser.Gerry

Is it possible to create a subtype of wt.doc.WTDocumentDependencyLink? I could not found the wt.doc.WTDocumentDependencyLink in Type and attribute management in Windchill 11.0 M20 CPS16. I want to add some more attribute (IBA) on this link by creating its subtypes.   Thank you in advance.

On our BOM we need to indicate filling pressure for tyres, so it can be used to generate work instructions and service manuals etc. For a given wheel and tyre combination the filling pressure might change depending on which product it is used on, so we want to treat it like oil, water or grease and add 1 usage of 'COMPRESSED AIR' to the EBOM and indicate quantity of 'COMPRESSED AIR' in psi or bar. Is it possible to create a custom unit for pressure?
