Windchill

Hi, I have been looking at how to manage labels and artworks in the BoM. I'm wondering how other users approach this. Our first attempts appear to create additional structure that may be unnecessary. We are using wtparts and I'm considering that we might want to look towards Options and variants to manage this content. Any help and feedback would be welcome.   Thanks

Hi All,   I have to check the source of tables on one of step of Wizard. i have tried to debug it with jcaDebug, but t won't work. Is any way to debug the Wizard and getting information about the tables present on Wizards pages ?   Thanks.      

I would like to add a link on a workflow task page to the representation (Creo View viewable) for the PBO.  Users can use a link the task to the information page of the PBO then go to the representation, but I am looking to simplify the task holders actions but taking them directly to the representation.  In this case the PBO is a WTDocument where the primary content file is a PDF.  Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,   For XML topics in windchill, I want to do a query for pulling out the specific information in a XML element. For example, I have a XML topic: I have an element called ITEM with attribute "id='98821c56'". How can I pull "Potting Soil" in my report(query builder)?   Thank you!

I would like to make one of the input fields as mandatory in a query builder report. While generating the report, if user does not input any value for that text field, the report shouldn't display any results.    Can this be achieved? I tried parameter value constraint but that did not work.    Any thoughts/suggestions would be great. Thanks! 

Hello all,   I have a screw released as an individual part in Windchill(released state). I have family table for screw. Can i add the new revision of standalone screw in Family Table ? is this possible without breaking existing relations of the screw in the assembly ?

I was following the steps that the PTC recommended:   -> First, start Directory Server;-> Second, start the Apache services;-> Third, start the Windchill services;   ---- Attachment 1.   After start the Windchill server and check the logs file, I come across the following message:   ---- Attachment 2.   To solve this problem I followed these recommended steps: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS125275   For the first solution:   I inserted the last line on the file whit machine's IP and your host name.   ---- Attachment 3.   For secondary solution:   I don't know how do follow the steps. Because I don't found the files. For the third solution:   I did't nothing. Because the size of the database increases as needed, according to PTC. For four solutions:   I disabled all firewall services to make sure the firewall was not blocking anything.   _________________________________________________________________

Can you Export & Import My Notebook, be nice to share my stuff with other users.

Hi All,This is Windchill 10 question.I have an attribute called "DesignControl" with logical name - "ext.abc.DesignControl". It has discrete set values in format like - Internal Name / Display Name as:Design_A / Design ADesign_B / Design B.....For a document when I execute following code, I always get the value of the attribute to be - "Design_A" instead of "Design A" which is the display value.WTDocument tmpDoc = //Retrieved from search resultsLWCNormalizedObject obj = new LWCNormalizedObject(tmpDoc,null,Locale.US,null);obj.load("number","name","IBA|ext.abc.DesignControl");System.out.println("Design Control Value - " + obj.getAsString("IBA|ext.abc.DesignControl"));What other API should I be using to get the correct display value ?Regards,

Hello.   I've got a problem with the way Windchill manages "latest" representations and the property publish.republishonepmdocumentchange. The support tells me it's normal, but I would like to know if someone found a workaround. I've got the properties : publish.configspec.default.useasstoredifavailable=false (we want the latest iteration of an assembly to be up to date) publish.republishonepmdocumentchange=true (we want the drawings to be republished with the latest lifecycle state or name/number)   I create an assembly A1 :  I modify it by mooving a component, it goes to A.2 :    I modify one part, the representation is marked as out of date and I can republish it with the scheduler : Iteration A.1 is not out of date, that's what I want, I've got my history.   No problems there, I republish and I've got my A.2 representation updated.  But if I rename the assembly Windchill republish every iteration including the old ones and I now have A.1

Wouldn't it be nice to have a Logout button in Windchill? Especially when switching between user and administrator accounts thiscould be very usefull in my opinion.As a newbie user maybe I'm missing something, but I can't imaginenobody else ever asked for this functionality.Shouldn't be that hard to implement.

Hi.Today, after saving it, I was uploading my assembly and drawing, but Windchill asked me to update 2 objects that the workspace decided to set as new even if already existing on the common space.After the update he asked to replace also some other files that were on the assembly and being in a hurry to complete the job, i gave it an ok.I soon realized that with that update I lost everything.By updating these extra files windchill decided to came back to the version of these files that were just copied from an existing assembly.So instead of the saved version of this afternoon (2019-01-21 15:30) now I have the assembly and the drawings that are like just copied (2019-01-16 16:46).Is there any way to try to have the latest version of these files back?Or have I lost everything and I have to redraw it again?Thank you for your answer...

Hi Expertes,I would like to understand is it possible to execute/run the QML (Windchill report) through java code? I'm aware of importing/loading into windchill but i'm interested to execute the qml through java and get the response. I have tried exploring the report code but got no clue.Thanks,Manjunath Reddy

How to get a variable dropdown list(Attributes like Plant location, some attributes) inside workflow task page? further to it, based on selected attribute value it should route to respective users.Does it requires to customize the Work flow JSP template?, if yes kindly provide the code and source code location(path).

In Windchill 9.1, after a CAD Document is checked-in, it is no longer checked-out.In many cases, the user is checking-in to make the model availble to others, and he needs to continue working on it.Is there a way to avoid having to check it out again?Gerry

I do not have issue in running RMI Java client from Windchill shell.    I read from one of the discussion in the community which I thought we may just run it without Windchill shell by just adding wt.jar in classpath. However, it will get missing service.properties error when you try to use QuerySpec API.   Can we run RMI Java client without Windchill shell ?

Interested to have a discussion with other Inventor WGM users to share tips and techniques. We are new to using Inventor with Windchill and so we are interested to talk to others willing to share/collaborate. Some topics we are struggling with. 1. How to map windchill attributes like MODIFIED BY/MODIFIED DATE back to the Inventor Project Attributes so we can use it in Drawing title blocks. 2.  How can we simulate the automation of the autodesk data standard tool that when we start with a 3D Model and we create a CAD Drawing, that the NUMBER from the 3D Part CAD is passed on to create the CAD Drawing?   Thank you for your interest in this topic.

I am trying to remove an unwanted revision. For example: There is revision A.1, A.2 and B.1. I would like to remove B.1.The options available in Windchill are:1. Delete all iterations of each object2. Delete all revisions of each object3. Delete latest iterations of each objectThere doesn't seem to be an option to delete latest revision of each object. I choose #3 and I get an error message saying"Cannot delete the latest iteration of object(s) 'Publication Source - test ifp tag template location, B.1' because it is the only remaining iteration for revision"Does anyone know how I can remove this one revision so that the file reverts back to A.2?

Basic question, can I edit or even build a CAD structure in Windchill? My scenario: We need to save annotations sets with exploded conditions from Creo View back into PDMLink Top level WTpart cannot be used to create the Annotation sets because the geometry is not correctly placed as not all levels have CAD associations early in the lifecycle. So we must use the CAD structure (again it exists as it is defined in Creo but it is not associated up to the top level WT structure) to create our Annotation sets. We don't want to save the Annotation sets to the Top level CAD document (Whole vehicle.asm), instead we want some users to be able to create an assembly (Exploded.asm) then add the top level CAD assembly into it so they can save the Annotation set. This way the annotation sets are only visible to those who have created them.   Users CAD document: Exploded.asm <Annotation sets from Creo View saved at this level ¦Top level CAD document: >Whole_vehicle.asm

Got a two states from which objects promote (in Promotion Request) to third one.Need a code to get list of initial states (Promoted from State) of these objects.I already search in PromotionNoticeHelper and VersionControlHelper and got nothing.

Hi!I need to customize change notice creation wizard.  In the "Define Implementation Plan" step I have default change task. When user click for edit change task the system open subwizard "New Change Task". In this subwizard I want to remove "Set Attributes" step. How can I do it?Thanks!

When we compiled the CATIA WGM, it build successful, but if you open CATIA from the "WGM 11.0 CATIA V5-6 R20XX" shortcut, CATIA launches with the Windchill menu missing. If you launch the "Windchill Workgroup Manager 11.0 M030" and then open a file to CATIA from WGM, it will launch a CATIA session that does have the menu. Does anyone know how to fix the missing menu in the CATIA session so that it is not necessary to use WGM to launch CATIA?

Hi,   We have experienced the Background Method Server queues being very busy due to mass changes. This causes smaller background jobs to be placed at the end of the queue and users have to wait several hours before their job is processed.   Example.- Change initiated on a part that is used in many bom’s- All kinds of activities are send to the queue. e.g.  -  Promotion / Set state jobs   -  ESI sendings  -  Etc.- All of this is processed in the WFPropagationQueue, which obviously takes some time to process.- But, when other user then does some simple stuff like promote, set state, start NC, etc, there job will be placed at the end of the queue.- This causes frustration among our users, and they think, the system did not catch their first attempt. Eventually they perform the same action multiple time and complain about a slow system.   So, now I would like to find a solution, where these long running jobs can mind their own business, while o
