Windchill

Does any body know how often ELV CSpec get updated in Windchill Product Analytics ?  IMDS documentation on latest exemptions par 2016/774/EU may be found here, see table on p. 4 and further information on 8(b) split on p. 20.https://public.mdsystem.com/documents/10906/17094/imds_and_technical_definitions_for_elv_exemptions.pdf/87f2bed7-4f98-4ccb-82bd-bc4ed3e099a0 The legislation reference is 2016/774/EU.

This is a system that was moved up from PDMEssentials 10.2 M030-CPS13 to PDMLink 10.2 M030-CPS13, without any issues reported during that activity.   Now I have to upgrade it to PDMLink 11.0, which means going through the WINDU  'Mandatory Before Upgrading from Windchill 10.2' pre-tests.   I have done a few of these 10.x to 11.x upgrades on test systems (PDMLink to PDMLink), and I got used to tracking down these JNDI errors, typically entries that point to the wrong Search Base left over from previous upgrades.   The PrincipalValidator log indicates that I am missing 'com.ptc.ptcnet.EnterpriseLdap'.....? "Caused by: wt.util.WTException: No JNDI Adapter named 'com.ptc.ptcnet.EnterpriseLdap'   The only reference to 'ptc.ptcnet' anything that I can find are from PTC's training and documentation examples. ptcnet(dot)com points to a shady looking 'buy a domain site'. I most definitively do not have that adapter listed in the info*engine page, and the actual name of

Current last line in proe1.psf isENV=PTC_WF_ROOT=C:\PTC\%USERNAME%\PDM_WF_ClientWhat would the %USERNAME% be to reflect the Windchill user login?As a WC admin it is a problem when sometimes you need to login to WC within Pro/E as orgadmin and other times as your actual user account. Would like a way to setup the .psf file so it creates the cache folder based on WC login and NOT the Windows login name.

How to get alternates and substitutes from parts through API?

I want to fetch the Affected Objects for the type Variance in a workflow.My doubt how to fetch all the objects added to affected objects of Variance? Suggestions/APIs please.

Oftentimes my Windchill Workgroup Manager seems to loose its link to the local Windchill File System. When it is working, I can open SW files from my workspace via the Workgroup Manager, make edits, save the file and all is well. Once or twice a day I run into the situation where I can no longer open files from or save files to my workspace. Saving a file which was opened from the workspace brings up the Save-as dialog. I can still see my workspace in Windows Explorer and I can see the files that I had in my workspace, but when I try to save to that folder it simply gives me a Failed to Save Document error message pop-up. If I try to open from the workspace via Workgroup Manager, I get the message "Failed to open in SolidWorks 2017: #######.SLDPRT. C:\Users\<user>\Documents\PTC Places\Workspace\#######.SLDPRT does not exist" in the WM message area. If I try to open a file from the workspace via the Solidworks Open command, I get a pop-up message in SW saying "C:\Users\<user&gt

Greetings    According to article CS279763  it is not possible to email all users in Windchill Group or Windchill Organization in Windchill PDMLink. I really would love to do this to warn folks that there is an upcoming outage, or perhaps some other important news.  Has anyone here come up with a work around, or a clever method to send an email to their users in a specific group?James Windchill 11.0 M030 CPS08Windows 10

Most of our parts are in family tables. We are in the process of implementing Windchill and we use Creo 3.0.   Is there a way to revise an instance without having to revise all the instances in the family table? After setting the action to "Revise", make changes and while checking in, all the other instances have to be in work to be able to check in this particular instance. Currently we are asked the following process to work around it. Is there a better way to do this? Initially the parts are in the released state.   1. Set the action to “Revise” by selecting the Instance and related Generic Part. Make sure to collect all the WT parts related to the instance and the generic part. Make sure you are not selecting all the other instances. 2. Check out the Instance and related Generic Part and drawings. 3. Make changes 4. Ask Admin to set other instances of that generic part to “In Work”. The revised instance and the generic part cannot be checked in until all the other instanc

Hi Forum,   I created a section of a part in Creo View 4.1.   There are two problems with the section. Firstly, the section surface is completely seamless, although the section comprises several parts. Therefore, the boundaries between the several parts should be visible on the section surface, but they are not.   Secondly, the section surface is simply white/monochrome -- however, it should be hatched.   Thanks for tips or hints what could be done about this!

I have a customer who is working a lot with family tables and who is asking for some tips and tricks related to working in Creo. One thing that I was thinking of mentioning is using UDFs with family tables and referencing these in the part family tables. However, I'm hesitant to talk about this since the UDF needs to be in Creos UDF library to work. In my experience, if the UDF cannot be found in the library, Creo will not crash the part, but will simply not replace the geometry in the instance, meaning you get a part that looks like it worked fine, but has incorrect geometry.   I'm not working in Windchill, so I'm not sure how this is handled in Windchill. If I have a part with a family table that references a UDF family table, will I be able to make this work in Windchill if I just add the part to my workspace, make some changes and check it in? Will Windchill retrieve the UDF and put it in the UDF library? How does Windchill handle UDF:s?

Hello All, We removed the WTPart and CAD  - Association in the latest iteration Now WTPart has no Related CAD Object.Also, CAD has no Related WTPart Object.But on WTPart Structure tab >> WTPartObject, A.X(Design) >> Structure >> Viewing >> Show (My related object.) showing Cad Object and also in below 3rd view as CAD/Dynamic Document.. Is this normal behavior from the Previous associated CAD/WTPart iteration showing CAD in WTPart latest iteration structure view or its a bug..Thank you,RAHUL  

Does anyone know of documentation which specifically goes over Windchill PartsLink and Windchill ProjectLink? Going through the support site for documentation (actually using the dropdown menu and selecting each product) produces results for Windchill rather than PartsLink/ProjectLink.   I came across a User Guide for Windchill ProjectLink but it is for version 8.0 and dated from April 2006. Need something a little more up to date. Thank you

Hi,   I'am trying to create new report using report template which is available in windchill utilities.

We have created custom part search application in thingworx navigate which takes input as search criteria and get the results from windchill.Business needs to save this search criteria in navigate application as Saved searches so that user can search from saved searches.

Hello,   I am implementing Windchill MPMLink (11.0 and above) at several customers at the moment, And there is a need to display custom attributes in the Work Instruction Illustrations.   I have noticed, that custom (Creo or PDM) attributes are not being copied to the Operation Viewable. I have attached a screen shot showing the available attributes for the same part. The behavior is the same for both Creo View and Illustrate representations.   I suggest that there should be an rcp file or some properties to control the behavior of operation viewable creation (i.e. the adapter/loadAttr=1 row of an rcp file).  Any idea where to look for a possible solution will be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello.   I would like to create a structure of standard documents when creating a product using a template in Windchill 11.1 M010. This is not part of Windchill functionnalities, and this is a bad point for us !   I have to find a workaround as our design process require some important documents that must but put into windchill for each product, and I know for sure my collegues won't do it or will forget some documents if I don't "force" them...   Did someone find a solution for this ? Basic customization is acceptable, or a workaround.   Thanks in advance.

Hi   We have a 2-node clustered Windchill as well as a 2-node replicated LDAP service in a lab environment. Below is a brief on services configured. Site01 Srv01 - Windchill, LDAP, HTTP Srv02 - Windchill, LDAP, HTTP Srv03 - Oracle Db Srv04 - CAD Worker + Main Vault Site02 Srv05 - Remote File Server with Vault, HTTP and probably local Worker for Site02 Windchill service in Srv01 and Srv02 are clustered and sitting behind a F5 load balancer, working fine. LDAP service in Srv01 and Srv02 are replicated and replication works fine.   We see there are 2 ways to configure LDAP in this environment as following; Let LDAP services sit behind a Load Balancer like F5 BIG-IP and configure LDAP in Windchill using virtual IP given by Load Balancer. This way we can take advantage of load balancing as well as failover on LDAP services. Also, every time a new node is added, changes only need to be made on LB instead of all application nodes as well as Remote File Servers. Configure

Hi, I've been looking into using packages to share our data externally with vendors and clients. I see in cs81396 a method for doing so.    I eventually worked out how to use xconfmanager to add the publishing engine   I have added the additional_file_type_publishrules into the site\utilities\visualisation configuration administration, but it just doesn't seem to work. Any help on this would be great. The sample xml files are not easy for me to follow.   I'd really like to get the system to publish step files if an part or assembly is in the lifecycle states of prototype, preproduction or production and also to produce 2d pdf's for the same states for drawings.  Thanks

Hello, I make a workflow inclue ad hoc activity. i can assign ad hoc activities to all users via orgadmin. But i can’t assign ad hoc activies to other users via regular user. When user tries to assign ad hoc activities to other users, receive "Secured Action. You do not have the necessary authorization for this operation. Contact your administrator if you believe you have received this massage in error". I attached the error screenshot.   I found out which policies cause the error. I have to make 2 rules to assign ad hoc activity.First one " wt.workflow.engine.WfAdHocActivity" grant "Read, create and modify".Second one " wt.workflow.engine.WfBlock" grant "Read, create and modify".I don't know what "wt.workflow.engine.WfBlock" rule let user do? Could you help me about "wt.workflow.engine.WfBlock" effects?       (view in My Videos)
