Windchill

This location is on 11.0 using Solr. They used "smart numbers" so a base number would have multiple dash numbers. Example 100-50-300 would have 100-50-300-01, 100-50-300-02, etc.. When they use the keyword search for 100-50-300 they see results that do not have 100-50-300 but do have 100-50-300-01, etc. Is there a way to just search for a given text string? In google it would be "100-50-300"    Would 100?50?300 be correct

When a java method is used for a report,the return value of the class cannot be used for further conditioning or criteria checks. For a scenario when i have to concatenate something to the output of the java method, am not able to do it. Below is the screenshot of the same. Thanks for helping out,guys

We have a report which queries AUDITRECORD for the Download event. Works perfectly (not really needed any more with PSM actually but that's beside the point).Starting to get interested also in downloads for CAD Docs from the Attachments table on the Content tab.The security audit report for Download event and the query builder reports that I've created so far on the AUDITRECORD show download by user and timestamp, etc. but only report the parent CAD Doc, not the actual attachment file downloaded.Anyone have a ideas on how we can filter for this?Example - this CAD doc has Attachments (created/added via publish rules with automatic version naming); downloaded one of them (directly in a browser to local, not to workspace).  Hoping to be able report that specific download action.AUDITRECORD reports:

Hi, I am new to Navigate and I need information on the same. We are moving the Windchill PDMLink to a new server with new host name. In that case, we will be Rehosting Windchill, but, what about Navigate ? Is it possible to rehost Navigate ? If not, then how to move all the created data (users list, custom attributes etc.) from Navigate, to newly installed Navigate on the new server ? Please help me out here.   Regards, Akshay

All,

Hello, If you have run into this, go ahead and nod in agreement (and sympathy). If you have not, and are looking to install or update Workgroup Manager software on Windows 10, be aware.  In my case, seen with SolidWorks 2016/2017, Windows 10 and Windchill 10.2 M30 CPS-24: Windchill Workgroup Manager and WFS Driver Installation fails on Windows 10 when Secure Boot function is enabledThe PTC WFS Controller service does not work properly in Windchill Workgroup Manager integration with CAD Applications supporting Windchill File System (WFS)   PTC WFS Controller Service does not start and gives following error in event viewer "The PTC WFS Controller service terminated unexpectedly" in Windchill Workgroup Manager 11.0 on Windows 10   SPR 6593724 (disabling Secure Boot is not possible as a workaround in many organizations) Probably other docs in the DB, but these were the ones PTC passed along. Hoping this gets a permanent fix soon!   Best Regards,ML Starkey 

Hola, can anyone explain to me why after alias attribute mapping (Baseline) two servers showing two different results? Production server diplays "Unassignable" values when no baseline involved but test server shows clean column. I would prefer to have "clean" column on production server like on test server. Thx        

How can I pull a report out of the Windchill Directory Server that has the below fields on it?   DN (distinguished Name)Mail (Email)UID

In CREO, the family table columns are automatically populated to the Family Tree Tab in Windchill. But for SolidWorks, Design table columns are not populated to Windchill Family tree tab. Is this intended functionality? Is there any workaround to populate them for SolidWorks?      

Hi,does anyone know how to Change unit of predicted Failure Rate in Windchil Quality Solutions/Prediction from FPMH to FIT?Thanks,Andi

Hi All,   I just wanted to know What is the maximum number of users that can be created in LDAP and WTUSERS? Thanks in Advance.   Regards, Swapnil

Just had a situation occur in our installation that others my suffer from.  This solution worked like a charm. Might be a good idea to inform your users who use OneDrive.  One of our users kept getting an error saying their PTC places was unavailable.  Turns out in Article CS297063, it tells you that if OneDrive is active (which it was) you have to : Turn off the "Files on Demand" feature in OneDrive settings Reboot the clientJamesWindows 10, OneDrive activated, WGM for Inventor 11.0 M030, Windchill 11.0 M030

We have been told that PTC is no longer offering new licenses of Windchill Product Analytics.   For those of you that are in the same boat can anyone share what you are using for REACH compliance?

Please see the Product idea https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill-Ideas/Add-comment-when-import-with-SpreadSheet/idc-p/500962#M8144   Is anyone using a "cost" attribute to track BoM costs in PDMLINK?

When objects are deleted in Windchill, through the UI, any related vault files that exist aren't also automatically deleted at that time. Revaulting, which can run automatically or on a schedule, copies files from one vault to another but doesn't delete files. These functions leave files in the vault that are no longer referenced in the database. PTC tech support article CS24438 gives some background info. The Windchill Help Center has more info.These unreferenced files should be cleaned up occasionally by an administrator. PTC provides lots of documentation on it. Points to note:PTC Recommended Frequency = MonthlyAll vaults on all sites will accumulate unreferenced files over timeCache vaults store uploaded files temporarilty until they are revaulted/synchronized to permanent storage location and therefore accumulate unreferenced files more quickly than other vault types.Running vault cleanup can free up lots of storage space.Cleanup can be done automatically (2 types) or manually - s

Greetings,My users have a legitimate complaint in this one.  They are wanting to know, at a glance, from their Tasks list which Change Notice the Change Activity task generated from the Implementation plan was created in.By default there is a Name (task name for the workflow node) and Subject (a concatenation of Type-Number and task name as defined in the implementation plan), however, there is no reference to which CN the Task was created from.I am looking for any creative way to help the users determine from which CN there CA tasks are coming from across their assigned list.Thanks in advance.Cam

Hi all,   We installaled CPS26 on our Dev VM's which also have the customization we use deployed in order to test our customization against the CPS26. At the moment we are faced to an error that says: The code of method _jspService(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) is exceeding the 65535 bytes limit. This happens while trying to create a document and seems to be caused by the createDocumentSetTypeAndAttributesWizStep.jsp in which we modified the value of a variable from true to false.    Have you seen this type of error before? We already contacted PTC and they offered the solution from the following case: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS174031 but without any success.    Thanks.     

Since upgrading to WC11 we have noticed that performance is VERY slow and sluggish using IE11 however is very snappy using the latest Chrome.  We are primarily using Windows7.  The difference is very significant: IE often takes around 30-60 seconds to load some pages Chrome loads the same pages in just a few seconds  Has anyone else noticed this?  Do you know of a IE or WC setting that could improve the performance of WC in IE?    I know that I/we could switch to Chrome however would rather not because Chrome is missing a very useful field selection feature that IE has.    

Hi, Has anyone updated Windchill PDMLink 11.0 M030-CPS13 bundle on an existing Windchill 11.1 M010 installation? On running PSI, the update existing (Install CPS) options are greyed out. Have checked the articles that says about the PSI installer bundled with different versions might cause it, which is true in my case.  So I want to know what is the way to get this bundle installed on 11.1(M010) version, I need it since it has has the latest RestService 1.3 module. Any suggestions/clue will be appreciated. Thanks!

I have inherited a project from a Windchill Quality Solutions Enterprise Edition user. I am a Windchill Quality Solutions Team Edition user Version 11.0.  I get a message that unable to open the project because it was copied from PTC Windchill Quality Solutions Enterprise.  This file is from an entirely different division so we don't have the same licenses.  Is there a way to use the Enterprise files with the Team edition?
