Hi All,Is it possible to create a new view version of a parent part using API.For eg: I have a parent part with 1.1(Design) as the view version. Now i need to create a new view version with 1.1(Manufacturing). I should not alter the old view version.RegardsSudeep

Hi   I'm trying to create a multiple workflow for a team, where one user will select which teams are going to participate in it. (Blocks) Based on selection each workflow tasks in the block will start to execute. Once all the activities of the selected blocks is completed the next activity should execute. Is there any method of achieving this? I've also explained with the help of an image.

Hello PTC,   What derating parameters will be applied on components with no electrical stress specified. I am working on MIL-HDBK-217 (N2) reliability predictions. Is NAVSEA SD-18 used?   I have done some spot checking (against RIAC System Reliability Toolkit, Table 5.1.2-1)  but am unable to determine what will be used across all different kinds of parts and temperatures. I have compared different levels of electrical stresses to see what failure rate is calculated for a thick film resistor, ceramic capacitor, and a Schottky diode. May see attached. I am currently on Windchill 10.1.   Thank you!

Hi,   I would like to understand if EBOM (WT Part with design view) can be linked (equivalence link)  to MBOM (WT Part with Manufacturing view) using WBM. What tables in WBM are needed to be populated to create this link between EBOM Part and MBOM Part   Thanks

Dear All,   we have tried several times to import our product database into FRACAS via the EXCEL import tool. It is a quite complex data structure (several subparts belong to several parts, several of those parts belong to different assemblies, several assembiles belong to next higher assemblies....) and is relativly big (270000 items).   Importing with the EXCEL import wizards fails most of the time towards the end....which is quite frustrating because to import all data takes almost a week.... 😞 Hence my question: is it possible to go back to the root and import the data directly into the SQL Windchill DB? I've tried to add a single part via insert into the admin.system database (which is itself already difficult to figure out the correct project, because I haven't found a relationship between SETID (which represents the Project and the actual Project Name), and I am not sure how the RECORD Number is actually createdd (the number seems not to be sequenced and has simularit

I'm sure this is not the first time this is asked, but last time I searched I couldn't find relevant topics... maybe it's too obvious  So, it would be nice to edit the top banner text "PTC Windchill" to include, for example, info that you're in production environment and also change the colour to something else than dark blue again to differentiate the environments. Having no skills when it comes to web pages I'd need a starting point, though I was able to find the file containing the text "PTC Windchill". How do you edit the colour?

I've been trying to incorporate attributes that exist in Windchill into Excel with limited success. One such attribute is 'modified by' I can see this in Windchill but cannot see it when I attempt to use the field in Excel. I have been informed by the support team that this should be mapped in the msoimap.xml file. Again I have attempted to do this but the updated section in the msoimap fails to drive anything new into excel. I have even attempted to drive in a second attribute which I can already see under a different msname in the map file. The other issue I have is that although 'Modified By' is the display name it cant be the attribute as it has a space in it.   Any help on this would be great.

To all Admins,I guess I have just reached a frustration level that I never experienced in my professional carrer with attempting to decode all of templates, processes, coding, JAVA, IBAs, attribute management, queue management, and the 100 other things that are trying to keep this system up and running. I truly feel that this was a plot by PTC management to purposefully make eveything so complex and complicated, and keep all the tricks to themselves on how to debug, fix, or customize anything in the system. Im sorry but I am not a JAVA programmer. I am an engineer who has worked in research and development for 20 years, then decided to try my hand at the admin role simply because I enjoyed helping people do and understand what I used to do. If I had time, I would write a Windchill for DUMMIES manual that explained things in laymans terms, not in 10 seperate manuals that are 400 pages thick. I have inquired into the training that tech support is provided, and PTC says, "It is not public

All,I have a query builder report where I'm entering a child componet number and it's returning a where used list. The issue I'm having is that it returning where used for all revisions / latest iterationforthe child part. It's also returning all revisions of the parents that have usages as well. I'm looking for a way to do a where used on the latest revision / iteration of a child part and return only the latest revision / iteration of the parents. Doesn't anyone have some suggestions on how to get this type of information?I'm also looking for a multi-level where used report that shows the child, it's parents, grandparents, ..... all the way to the top level. Is this possible?Regards,Paul SweetStaff EngineerUTC BIS Compression Technologies Group

The documentation for Windchill 11.0 and 11.1 both state Office 365 with local installation is supported.  But when 365 is in the cloud it is not supported.   Can anyone from PTC, or anyone else, state whether Office 365 in the cloud will be supported at some point?  What are the plans?

Hi all! Can someone please give me an example of a java expression code can be used to grant specific permission on specific object on specific life cycle state?For example, grant "Modify" permission on EPM Document on specific state where that user/role does not have Modify permission.

Hi,   I am using Windchill 11.0 M030. I had not installed CPS initially. I downloaded the CPS09 and tried to update Windchill. After running the setup file for update, I am unable to install the Critical patch set since the radio button is disabled. What should be done?

So I built a notification loop in the promotion request workflow to daily remind the assigned individual that they have an open task.  Can anyone offer suggestions on how to retrieve the active task name and corresponding hyperlink so I can include them in the email robot's message text?  The email template for tasks already includes this information but the email template the robot uses is different and does not include this information since it's not tied to a particular task.  How do I retrieve that information?  Thanks.   - Email message for green boxes should be very similar, if not identical.

This problem is only when trying to open Creo files from a standalone browser, this case Internet Explorer.  Opening files from the Windchill embedded browser works fine.  After removing the highly customized config.pro from the picture, was able to get a Script Error to come up. Trying to clear these errors with "yes" doesn't seem to work. Creo never launches. Seems to be generated from this file: codebase\netmarkets\javascript\ext\adapter\ext\ext-base.js specifically this line 97 (which is all one line but I can't format that here): if(Ext.isIE){function a(){var d=Function.prototype;delete d.createSequence;delete d.defer;delete d.createDelegate;deleted.createCallback;deleted.createInterceptor;window.detachEvent("onunload",a)}window.attachEvent("onunload",a)}})();   I am waiting for more info from the customer on some additional testing. I have given them the browser requirements for their installation to ensure they are using something modern/supported.   In the

Good morning I have created a Layout in Windchill with some Mechanical Parts inside.   Now I have to publish the PVZ file but I can't do it because Windchill doesn't find the origin CAD file. What I have to do? Could someone tell me where a can find a guide line?   Thanks

If anyone knows the SQL to show all members of a particular group, please share it. Thanks.

Hello all,   If we have an Windchill application backup that occurs at 9 PM and an Oracle database backup that occurs at 8 PM, can we still restore Windchill 11 incase of complete server failure?   Thanks!

Anyone know if the Windchill Workgroup Manager is a separate purchase from PTC or is it included with your general purchase of Windchill 11.1? It's not available in my software downloads list? 

Hi all,Do you experience this kind of error while opening windchill? After how many days of not opening the server because we re-arrange our office, now I cannot log on windchill and it prompt me in the browser "Service Temporarily Unavailable" The server is temporarily unabel to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.The server is up to 1 hr now and I get the same error in my browser. Please help.Thank you.Luar

I was running both 10.2 and 11.0 PTC WQS.   purchased a new laptop and has windows 10.  I installed PTC 11.0 team edition M040 WQS only.    Everything seems to load and operate but when I launch a project I get this error:  ptc windchill quality solutions\11\en\relex.en.rfl not found.  Not sure what it does and how to correct it.. any ideas?

Hi all,I am new to the Windchill installations and right now I am doing some trial installations on a Windows Server 2012 machine. I am installing Windchill PDMLink 10.1 and during the installation an error message appears: " java.lang.Exception: deploy failed for (wnc) with return code = 1" .Do you have any idea what causes this?

Dear All, This is a question which is unanswered from a long time / I haven't been able to identify the solution. Can anyone with past experience in your workplace tell me during auditing, how does PTC count licenses in Windchill PDMLink?  1. Will it count the actual number of active users versus the purchased licenses? OR 2. Will it count against the number of users created from day when Windchill PDMLink was installed (which includes deleted users + active users as well)?   If there is any documentation available regarding this which would at least take me near to the answer for my query would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Just looking what is required to put this thing into over drive (like if I had to republish large context)?  I have three workers on single PC running (mapped via virtual hostnames) and am getting a rate of 254/hour. I know that workers check 1 then 2 then 3 so number of jobs trail off. Adding more workers does not increase throughput beyond a certain point since the higher workers never get jobs sometimes.  What are your rates? Have you setup configuration to handle a very large load in some cases?  What is my limiting factor here?   Other details - Linux, monolithic server and Windows CAD worker.
