Windchill

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A1 :  I modify it by mooving a component, it goes to A.2 :    I modify one part, the representation is marked as out of date and I can republish it with the scheduler : Iteration A.1 is not out of date, that's what I want, I've got my history.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 all,While publishing with the Adobe LiveCycle Manager from Windchill a simple .docx I get the following error:ALC-ASM-S00-002: Failed to execute the DDX - error messages provided.

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

We have a number of projects going on and in general I create new projects from a template that meets most of the criteria. I recently had a request to just duplicate existing projects so I thought "I can use "save as new project" to save myself some time". Everything worked well.... except that the newly created projects don't send out invitation emails and the users I did add to the projects can't access them at all.  Is there a way around this or is it possible to turn something on to fix it? 

I'm having trouble with a workflow where a certain section runs the first time through but won't run on subsequent runs.  I've tried setting 'Rework' link as loop link but it's not making any difference.  How do I get the two 'Start' links (in the red box) to fire every time time the 'Design Check' activity is (re-)executed?  Thanks.

Hi,   How can I replace Susbtitute / Alternate Part using API? Which is the Windchill Task or Java API for it.?

Hi guys,   I'm looking for a JAVA API that is capable to replace a part inside a structure with it's alternate or substitute. It would be great if someone could also provide sample code for it.   The longer story would be the following: We subscribed to an event, that fires when a new Module Variant was created.We loop throw the new Module Variant’s structure and based on some attributes and choices we identify three Object References:• parent: the part which uses the “original child” that should be replaced by the “replacement child”• original child: the part that should be replaced• replacement child: the part which should be used as a replacement (this part is alternate and substitute for the “original child” part)We thought that we will use the function called WTPartHelper.service.replacePartAssemblies(parent, originalChild, replacementChild) which should do the job, but unfortunately it makes no changes in the structure, and doesn’t return error messages, or ex

Hello all,   i have run successfully the code in the case bellow for a Document. https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Conditional-routing-based-on-Document-attributes/m-p/189278#M22601   When applying the same code for a different object type, Dynamic Document, it does not record in the variable of the workflow the value of the attribute. I have tried the following:   try {wt.epm.EPMDocument doc =  (wt.epm.EPMDocument) primaryBusinessObject;   //get the attributes of the document.wt.iba.value.IBAHolder holder = wt.iba.value.service.IBAValueHelper.service.refreshAttributeContainerWithoutConstraints(doc);wt.iba.value.DefaultAttributeContainer ac = (wt.iba.value.DefaultAttributeContainer) holder.getAttributeContainer();if (ac != null) {wt.iba.value.litevalue.AbstractValueView[] avalues = ac.getAttributeValues();for (int i=0;i<avalues.length;i++) {    wt.iba.value.litevalue.AbstractValueView val = avalues[i];    System.out.println

Hi, I am facing a unique issue with my windchill and creo. I have the version of Creo as 2.0 Parametric, M230, and have windchill version 10.0. i have recently installed the creo software in my new laptop, having RAID 0 configuration. I need to connect to the windchill via a VPN which I was using in my old computer, the version of VPN and configuration is same as old in new. Now the problem what I am facing is, when I tried to open some file, either drawing, part or assembly, it take longer than usual time and then say error,"Part can not retrieve".  I have tried many options, like clearing the catch, clearing the work space, then try to add the part and drawing in the work space and then try to open it. what happens in this case is the part is getting added to workspace but still can not open.  I have checked and compared the version and configuration of windchill and creo in both old and new, every thing is same. But still I am not able to get the things done.  When I
