Windchill

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. Wondering what's in new WRS.   thanks, Preeti

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. Below is the stack trace :   wt.pom.connection wcmig-svc - POMHandler.freeConnection() transaction active - rolling back java.lang.Throwable at wt.pom.POMHandler.freeConnection(POMHandler.java:292) at wt.method.MethodContext.freeConnection(MethodContext.java:2458) at wt.method.MethodContext.unregister(MethodContext.java:1180) at wt.httpgw.WTContextBean$ServerContextHelper.freeMethodContext(WTContextBean.java:658) at wt.httpgw.WTContextBean$ServerContextHelper.activateServerContext(WTContextBean.java:629) at wt.httpgw.WTContextBean.act

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

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?
