Windchill

Hello All, I'm performing a rehost of Windchill 10.2 M030 using the Rehost Utility. I've manually exported/imported MS  SQL Database from our Production Server to Test server and manually copied the vaults and the Windchill install loadpoints. I run the rehost utility and half way through I'm getting an error [vaulttask] com.ptc.wc.rehost.exception.RehostException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'windchill.FvHost' with unique index 'FvHost$UNIQUE55'. The duplicate key value is (Uxxxxxxxx.int.xxxx.net).[vaulttask] Nested exception is: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'windchill.FvHost' with unique index 'FvHost$UNIQUE55'. The duplicate key value is (Uxxxxxxxx.int.xxxx.net)   I just wanted to know if anyone has seen this error message before. Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks, Kiran    

I am trying to configure WBM 11 M020, but it asks the staging database instance URL in it.Which conflicts with the staging database identity in later stages.

All, My aim is to get an part assembly similar to an other one.I would like to know the way to copy part+quantity+line number from an assy to an other.If I make a simple copy+paste, it takes all the parts but not in the same order, all the quantity to "1" and if some parts are in double (witch is needed), it just ignore it. Save as option is not possible because the part I wand to include the list is already existing. Making this by hand one by one is not an option. Could you please help me find the action to be able to make this?   Thanks by advance,   Gilles SimonEngineer@ AtlasCopco Belgium

Hi All,I have created sample.prt cad part by using Windchill API. it's open in Creo as well.check out and check in operation via browser are working.but when check ed it out and do some modifications in it using creo, then trying to check in back to Windchill.this operation was failed, check the event manager and found, it was failing to upload the new data to server,below is error from event management,Content category "" for content object "sample.prt" in the document "sample.prt" could not be found on server.How i can solve this ?i have used  below  in my code, EPMAuthoringAppVersion epmaav = EPMAuthoringAppVersion.newEPMAuthoringAppVersion(EPMAuthoringAppType.toEPMAuthoringAppType("PROE"), 30, "L-03");my current creo version is creo 3.0M070.Thanks,Vivek

Hello community,   I have a question for User replace in Windchill Product Team roles. When trying to cleanse our Product teams, due to some users who left the project team, we noticed some users were "Disconnected from directory service", but we weren't able to remove them from their author role because they have checked-out data. Unfortunately it is impossible to retrieve their data to Undo Check-Out because the name cannot be found in the field Checked-Out by of the search CAD data menu, I guess this is because the user is Disconnected. We considered to possibly use the "Replace" user feature, but we didn't because it is unclear to us what replace will actually do and wether it will re-assign the checked-out data.   Any idea or suggestion is welcome. Best regards,   Philippe

hello, i would like to know if it is possible to disable wtparts manufacturing view to some users. thanks

Hi All,   If I want to get the count of all the objects in all object types how would I be getting the same ?   Is there any nested query or program for the same. Please let me know about it   Best Regards, Aditya

I created a new drawing a part in one of my workspaces, but between switching to other projects I forgot which workspace I created it in.  How do I search all my workspaces for this part and locate which one it is located in.  Is there a way to search your workspaces?

Dear All, I have been working on generating a few reports using Windchill OOTB from a few days where I am struggling to get exactly what I want. So if everybody who have already generated reports could provide information regarding for what business objects reports cannot be generated it would be helpful for me and others to filter out which reports can be generated and which cannot. For example, a report to show the user participant groups is not possible since user participant group information is not stored in the database but is stored in WinDS. In the same way if anybody\everybody could share information it would be of great help.

After some searching, I found a bit code on here that within gets a PDF out of a default representation of an EPMDocument using this code: wt.representation.Representation defaultRep=wt.representation.RepresentationHelper.service.getDefaultRepresentation(myDoc); That's all well and good.  Is there a similar expression that allows me to pick and choose which representation I want?  Specifically, I'm interested in getting secondary content (which the rest of the code does) of the representation created by the promotion notice (so it's name is wt.maturity.promotionNotice:some number here).  Is there a wt.representation.Representation rep=wt.representation.RepresentationHelper.service.getPromotionNoticeRepresentation? I've looked through the Java Doc (we're on 10.2 M030) and I can't even find any reference of the RepresentationHelper. The wt.maturity class doesn't hint at there being anything to do with representations....    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello from my understanding in Options & Variants you can define expressions which are based on options e.g. color=red, blue is the option and choices color = read AND ... is the expression..... Now I am looking for the possibility to refer in an expression to an attribute from the part object and to refer the attribute of the classification of a part. Is this feasible? Any ideas about solutions, workarounds ...? Thanks in advance

Hi I have java method to update WTPart Structure attributes.This processing takes time. How can we show progress status in Windchill UI?//Rakesh

Hi everyone,   how to enable edit of the state for exemple ?   Thanks, Anas

Here is a simple test if someone can confirm this. Create a note object. Number it "NOTE1". Rename it and change the note to "NOTE2". Go back and try to create a new note numbered "NOTE1". Reply back if you get a uniqueness error on creating the second note. Search for "NOTE1". You should find nothing. What I noticed is that since notes are EPMDocuments but do not have a filename (aka CADNAME), they are created with a CADNAME that matches the number.  Rename actions to change the number do not have a filename field hence CADNAME cannot be change. CADNAME must be unique so that is why you get the error.  Reported bug to PTC.  Tested this on 10.1.

Hi,   If I have multiple properties file(Different for different Server)in the Build Structure so is there any way to Create a Build Jar by picking specific property file for a particular server for which we are creating the Build Jar.   Regards, Rohit Singh

My company currently has a simple numbering system for each new product/project. This currently has to be maintained outside Windchill. My question is can Windchill automate this process or is there a work around?

This process seems simple enough, but in Windchill it’s a nightmare. Here are the problems I get:-I try to keep the instances out of my workspace for performance reasons. When I export from workspace, Windchill brings in every instance. My workspace goes from 2000 objects to 8000 objects. I have a custom view, that allows me to delete them faster, but this is time I don’t have.-Import to workspace doesn’t work. It doesn’t recognize that the family table parts of the same name are in fact, the same parts.-Importing deletes everything from session. It seems that the Pro/E core must be used to determine parent-child relationships.-Some of the assemblies have hundreds or thousands of parts. This process is very slow. I have had this process take a week and as many as 23 premature exits in one day.-If someone at my company renames the generic of a family table, I get incurable name conflicts and premature exits.-If someone at my company creates one of the parts with the same name, I can’t r

I am trying to figure out how to create a new workflow, including all steps needed to make it appear as a selectable choice from the Actions menu. I am not tryign to do anything fancy since I have never done this before - just tryign to start with something simple. Here is what I am trying to do, specifically: 1. Save a copy of the OOTB Problem Report Template (I did this) 2. Alter the OOTB Change Admin I role to one of our own internal roles (I did this) 3. Start using this new version of the Workflow (this is where I am stuck)   Basically, though I have created a new template, let's call it "Problem Report Template 2," I have no understanding of how to launch it throughout Windchill.  - It does not show up as a Problem Report in the Type and Attribute List.  - I don't see Problem Report Template 2 anywhere else in Windchill other than the Workflow Template Admin screen  - Do I need to restart Windchill or something??   I have searched many pages of docum

I have a requirement to combine two attributes from CAD Documents (owner link) into one attribute in a WTpart. Currently we pull a number of parameters from Creo into Windchill. Our parameter setup is 2 descriptions (description 1 and description 2), that become attribute description 1 and description 2 in Windchill. Is there anyway to combine the two when looking at the WTPart....have both attributes display as one (description 1 + description 2 = description)? I know this can be done in Creo with a relation....but that doesn't fix the 100,000 + objects already created. I logged a case with PTC....but the "Expert" was struggling finding how the attributes are passed from the cad doc to the WTPart, so I closed the case.

In the organisation context we have 568 products, for which Product level OIRs have been such that Numbers are auto generated for WTPart (it has final = "false" for Numbering). But now the requirement is such that for all products the numbering should be manual. I created an OIR at Org level with final = "true" value and set auto numbering off, but still numbering is auto generated only. Is there some way to override the product level OIR at Org/Site level so that we can have manual numbering, as going manually and changing OIRs for all products is a tedious job.

I saw below request (updating username and password of users in bulk) created 5 years ago but seems PTC still hasn't planned to implement it yet. I wonder if anyone here has done something similar in Windchill 10 or 11 and how did you do it? Actually I don't need to update username and password, but I would like to update tons of users to a different organization at once instead of manually changing each user's organization in Participant Administration UI. Your information and sharing are highly appreciated.   https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS59042  

I want to get users and grouops of a organization level in Workflow. The organizaion is related to the primarybusinessobject. Please teach me which API  I use and simple code.

Hi All,   Can you please expalin the diffrence between "PersistanceHelper" and "PersistanceServerHelper" ? and how these classes helps to modify/store object in Windchill , what exactly happens behind, how it make changes in database ?  

Hi, A user has replaced a part in creo assembly after checking out. He saves the assembly and checks it in. The changed part is shown in the assembly. But, when the BOM for the WTPart still shows the old part.  We tried the top down approach (replaced the part in BOM), but Windchill does not allow us to check-in the assembly telling that we must do it only via the CAD.  Does anyone, how can we solve this issue?   Regards, Gautham
