Windchill

Does anyone know how to get support from PTC for the First Robotics Windchill server? It has been offline all weekend at the worst possible time. There use to be a PTC support community for First robotics but that seems to be non functional as well.   Appreciate any info    Paul

Last May, PTC (Robert Morrison) made an webinar referring that with Creo View Adapters 5.0 and Windchill 11.1 M010, It is possible to publish PDF representations for MS documents without Adobe Experience Manager. Where is the documentations that supports these statements? What license is required?  

Hi Developers,   I'm working on PTC Navigate 1.5.0 and Thingworx 8.0.1   I'm having issues similar to this article. The rest.properties file also seem to be proper as mentioned in the article. The configurations on the "ptc-windchill-integration-connector"are as shown in the image   I have observed the following in my composer:  "ValidateConnection" service is giving "Success:200-OK" "GetEndpointList" service is giving the below error   Unable to Invoke Service GetEndpointList on ptc-windchill-integration-connector : Your route exchange has failed. HTTP operation failed calling [http://<IP>/Windchill/servlet/rest/swagger.json] with status [404 - 404]       3. When i tried loading the below URL i got HTTP Error 404 page not found. http://<IP>/Windchill/servlet/rest/swagger.json   I have tried reinstalling the patch twice and it was not helping. I can't find any root cause for this issue. Is this related to windchill in

Please find the attached file for the detailed issue in the MBOM creation for the BUY Part.   Requirement: In the below EBOM structure consider that C is purchased from the Supplier, so while creating MBOM "C" will be added as an End Item (without adding the child components D & E)   Issue: MBOM visualization doesn't show "C"   Any suggestions would be helpful.   Thanks in advance.

I am exploring Windchill extension on Thingworx. PTC has built out of the box functionality to access windchill data using infoengine. I did not find much on REST implementation.Has anybody found a documentation on Windchill REST framework.🙂Preeti

Hi Forum, is there a way to update the view of a Windchill part in Creo View (in order to see any intermediate changes on the server) without having to close Creo View and (instantly) reopen the component again from Windchill?

Hi Forum,   I created some annotated views of an assembly with Creo View Lite (on a first Windows PC "PC1") and saved them as annotation sets on the Windchill server. These annotation sets are listed correctly in Windchill, and can be restored, displayed and edited when opened later (on the same computer PC1). Hallo Forum,   hab hier mit Creo View Lite (auf einem ersten Windows PC1) einige kommentierte Ansichten einer Assembly erstellt und als Anmerkungssätze auf dem Windchill Server gespeichert. Diese werden im Windchill auch ordnungsgemäß gelistet und beim späteren Öffnen (auf demselben Rechner PC1) auch problemlos wiederhergestellt, angezeigt und können weiterbearbeitet werden. If I click on the same annotation set in Windchill on another Windows computer "PC2" in the company network, the corresponding part/assembly does open in Creo View. The annotation sets created on PC1 are also loaded and listed in Creo View's primary panel/main window (F5). The annotation s

Is there a Windchill API available or some other way to determine if an attribute is mandatory to create an object. For example, for creating WTPart object, the name is required. So is there a way to determine all the required attributes for an object?

Hi,We're trying to set up Windchill. We have a Windchill account and can log into it, but we're having issues registering our server in Creo. We had previously managed to register a server, and this is still on our list, but it says "offline" and we can't select it. We tried to register a new server, but after typing in our name and location fields into the boxes (using the location provided in the Windchill Practical Guide for FIRST), messages pop up, saying "Invalid server location. Please change the 'Location' field and try again." and "You have no workspace to register. You cannot register this server without a workspace."Thanks for any help help you can offer.

Is anyone currently running the two listed programs and software in the title in conjunction with one another? We are currently operating on an Inventor only CAD system with a physical vault backing up files. I know that Windchill is compatible with different software, including Inventor, and will transfer bulk files from various vault systems. But my question is, are there any other issues while running these together? I was looking at other threads and found some information stating possible errors with locking active work spaces, and other issues that plagued this software duo in previous versions; such as closing the active autodesk windows when importing or working in Windchill. Overall, for anyone using these software versions and programs, is it an efficient system going from Inventor to Windchill? Are there any issues, large or small? Looking for any and all feedback possible. Thank you in advance.

Hi all, we're using ProjectLink with external designers who only have rights to Project contexts. We've managed to assign from product context Change Tasks to them as well as share those and related Change Notices to the Project. However, what should be looked at to grant edit rights to the Change Task? This is required because there's need to edit Resulting Objects by the assignee. I've tested setting Full Control to all states for the Change Task object in the particular Project in Access Policies, but still editing is not possible. We have 11.0 M030 CPS11

Hey all-   I am attempting to use some of the business administration tools on Windchill 10.1, build M040. I am using the Windchill client through Google Chrome. I am logged in as my organization's administrator, with full admin rights.   I am attempting to access the team administration settings through Organization > Utilities. When I click "team administration," I get an odd window that looks incomplete (See the attached screenshot). At first I thought it was loading, but I gave up on that after about 30 minutes of waiting.   I am wondering if anyone on the forum has seen anything like this before. I am fairly new to Windchill administration so hopefully there is an easy fix.   Thank you!

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.   _________________________________________________________________
