Hi, I cannot create new product on Windchill 11.0 M030. I logged in site administrator and click "View All" of Products tab, but there ware not "New product" button.   It has any other necessary setting properties?

Hello to everyone, I need your help because I'm not able to solve a little problem. Is there a way to hide views created by the system and not the Administrator? I have to create some views but I don't want see a long object list. Thanks in advance

The following message is the error I receive when trying to view a Windchill representation in Creo View:   "Failed to load the file. Check the Adobe Acrobat or Adobe installation."   My machine is currently running Creo View 3.1 M010 build 27. Is there anything I can troubleshoot?

Hi,   I need to trigger a  windchill workflow from Thingworx.  I think it's  right way to expose this function through OData rest service in windchill.  The logic of WRS  function is implemented by Javascript,  which I don't understand and don't know where to find the document of API,  I have no idea of how to implement my logic. Please help.   Below is sample code from Windchill Rest Service User Guide. function function_GetCostlyParts(data, params) { var ArrayList = Java.type('java.util.ArrayList'); var EntityCollection = Java.type('org.apache.olingo.commons.api.data.EntityCollection'); var parts = data.getProcessor().readEntitySetData(data); var partEntityMap = data.getProcessor().toEntities(parts, data); var partEntities = new ArrayList(partEntityMap.values()); var entityCollection = new EntityCollection(); for(var i = 0; i < partEntities.size(); i++) { var partEntity = partEntities.get(i); var partCostProperty = partEntity.getPropert

The Customer has a number of released objects which he wants to check out and edit/change without affecting the released objects.he uses ProjectLink, but he miss a solid way to handle changes to already released CAD objects. These changes might not be used in the future, but then he has to revise the CAD objects in order to make changes.     more accurately ,The issue  is that the user want to explore new design options on released CAD files.In order to "lock" the files to a specific user, the user needs to check the file out and not just use "continue" option in Creo/CAD.Sometimes the investigation does not lead to new design and sometime sit does.It's the situation during the investigation where they don't know IF the change is implemented or not, hence the question.How to handle this situation?   Thank you for any helpful idea.     Achraf

I created a local/standard attribute of type string.

Hello, our customer is starting using MPMLink on productive system and they are going to work with with the MAPS Browser. Let`s assume we have on the right hand side an eBOM and on the right hand side the corresponding mBOM.   The eBOM looks like   Product - Assembly_1 QTY 4 --Part_1 QTY 3 --Part_2 QTY 2 ...     The mBOM looks like   Product -Assembly_1 QTY 2 --Part_1 QTY 2 --Part_2 QTY 4   -Assembly_2 QTY 1 --Part_1 QTY 8   So in total we have the same quantity of all parts. The discrepancy search will show differences in the quantity. Is there a way to handle such uses cases?

When working with Change Notices (CN) in PDMLink, does anyone else have to fill out these three fields (which are really identical) in order for useful information to be displayed on all the right places (CN, Task, email notifications, etc?). We have a little automation in place because the CN description will do a one time propagation to the Task auto-propagate, but after that the connection is broken so if one changes the other will not update.  This reputation is a nuisance, conducive to error, and takes up space! Any way to get these to synchronize all the time and then only have to enter it once, or update it once?We are using Windchill 10.1 M050, and only use 1 task per 1 ECN.  Perhaps this is better in EC11?Thanks, Lawrence

I have just enabled autonumbering for one particular product and now I need to do some renaming/renumbering to use the new numbers.  Is there any way to have the drawings automatically use the model's newly assigned number?  Since I can't see what the new number is until after the renaming process is finished, I have no idea how to properly rename the drawings while still keeping them matched up with their corresponding models.  Any ideas?   This is what happens if I autonumber everything together (drawing doesn't match the model):   Before      During   After If I autonumber just the models, I won't have any idea which newly named model the drawing should be associated with (in order to rename it.):      Before   During   After

Hi All,   previously with Windchill 10.1 we where able to checkout only the instance and generic when editing an instance of a family table part - which constists i.e. in adding / changing a number/letter in a parameter (which of course is contained in the family table). But now on Windchill 11.0 I found no way to do this. It always happens that the whole family table is being checked out! We are also using ModelCHECK Gatekeeper since years, and this has never been a problem becaus only the edited variant needed to be verified then. What am I doing wrong? Did you also come across this problem?

Can the metrics located under monitoring changes be customized or modified? I would like to show yearly, weekly, monthly trending for problem report, change record/notices by quantity, assignee and aging.

My part lifecycle state includes Open - Under Review - Alpha Release - Beta Release - Production Release - Cancelled.On revise from Alpha, Beta or Production Release states, the part comes in Open State.I have 3 subtypes of Change Notice (CN_1,CN_2,CN_3). If CN_1 is raised on the parts, resulting objects should be released to Alpha release, for CN_2 - Beta release, for CN_3 - Production Release.Since change transition allows only one target state, How can i achieve this ? I don't want user to select the release target. Instead release target should automatically change depending on the change notice type.

In every table view, there's a Customize and you can export a Table View you make 'cause there's an EXPORT button.  Where the heck is the IMPORT button?  I've got a specific table view that I want to apply to other tables within my Change Order pages, but I'm having to recreate the things manually because I can't find the IMPORT button!  I followed a link to a video to IMPORT table views but they're talking about importing the thing right back into the area I'd exported it from.  Seems a li'l silly to me as that's where it came from...   (and o'course, it fails as it already exists...)   Is there a place in the IMPORT/Export site area where I can choose the new destination area?   oh, and I'm simply a business Windchill admin.  I don't have access to the Windchill server itself so I can't open a shell command window and start typing away.  Pleeeeease tell me this can be done somewhere within the Site utilities or something . . . .

During a CPS update that I am doing on my test Windchill server, there were three custom sequences, that I had for document types that I created, deleted.  How important is it to recreate these?  When I create new documents, they seem to get the correct numbering.   I am going from 11.0m030 cps01 to 11.0m030 cps11.

Just updated a test server to PDMLink M030 CPS11 and the separate Solr server to the same release. Now getting a 501 Session Expired error. PTC wants me to add the solr admin I created to the Windchill participants. We normally use the wcadmin for the Solr Effctive UID. Anyone else at the release or has seen this error? And do you add the solr admin to your Windchill participants? Thanks in advance!

Hi,I have been trying to send email through code.And I'm getting problem while addingcontent text to my mail.If I run my code without adding message body, it works fine and I have doubts on adding ResourceBundle files here.I've created a simple class for thatRemoteMethodServer rms = RemoteMethodServer.getDefault();GatewayAuthenticator auth = new GatewayAuthenticator();auth.setRemoteUser("wcadmin");rms.setAuthenticator(auth);System.out.println("Connected to PDMLink!");String userName="GT-User";WTUser user;QuerySpec qspec=new QuerySpec(WTUser.class);qspec.appendWhere(new SearchCondition(WTUser.class,WTUser.NAME,SearchCondition.LIKE,userName),new int[]{0});QueryResult qresult=PersistenceHelper.manager.find((StatementSpec)qspec);while(qresult.hasMoreElements()){ user=(WTUser) qresult.nextElement(); System.out.println("User present in Windchill and his email id is--"+user.getEMail()); String userEmail=user.getEMail();// TeamCommands.email(arg0); Locale locale=new Locale("en", "US"); Resourc

Hi there,   here is my need: - first I want to automaticaly publish CAD documents once they move to the Prototype State. I also have to create a step file. I had a publish Rules for that and it works fine. - then, I need to post-publish the representation "on demand" for Creo Illustrate. I have a standard publish rules for that, who works when this file is alone.    now I want to merge the 2 rules files. All my tries were not good: or I can create only one representation of the 2 rules, or I publish everything together. I guess is a syntax issue, but I don't understand. does someone have already done this exercise?    thanks in advance Ron

Specifically, I want to create a shortcut that resides outside of PDMLink such that then when a user clicks on it it will:Open WC, and request to log in if not already logged in (I know how to do this aspect to any location in Windchill)Start a Change Notice (or a document)I am primarily asking for Change Notices, however, if it can also be done for initiating new documents, or other types of objects in in PDMLink (Such as Change Requests, etc) that would be useful to.Does anyone know how to create this shortcut in Windchill?Thanks! Lawrence

Hi All,   Do you know how to set the Part Structure expansion level in Windchill using a preference.   I created a preference and stuck at configuring/linking it. If I set the preference to 2 for example, the Part Structure tab should show upto level to of the structure. Thanks

Hello,           I have created a Part Configuration. Now I want API to get structure of Part Configuration.  I tried  ConfigurationHelper.service.getNormal(partConfig); this gives me Structure but not in proper order . So I want as it is BOM structure.   How can I get this?

In PTC Windchill Quality Solutions, we are getting TCP error code 10061. pls resolve the issue.
