Windchill

Hi,   I created a Windchill 11.0 M030 CPS10 lab as a part of upgrading our current Windchill 10.2 production environment. I'm also willing to move from current monolithic setup to cluster. Following is the brief configuration details. SRV01.lab.com - Oracle Db Server SRV02.lab.com - Windchill App Cluster Node 1 SRV03.lab.com - Windchill App Cluster Node 2 SRV04.lab.com - Business Reporting and Indexing Server Everything got installed documentation (Deployment Guide as well as Advanced Deployment Guide for Windchill 11.0) and working fine in individual nodes. Following is a brief of configuration. wt.cache.master.slaveHosts=SRV01.lab.com <SRV01_IP> SRV02.lab.com <SRV02_IP> wt.rmi.server.hostname=PLM.lab.com Hosts file are updated in each Nodes with following entry127.0.0.1  PLM.lab.com NLB is configured using Windows Load Balancer in the lab. Only port 80 and 443 are allowed through WNLB Cluster group created. (Not sure if this is what causin

Upgrading from Windchill 10.1 M050 to Windchill 11 M030. This task is failing when trying to configure JNDI enterprise adapter.   The nested exception, AuthentiationException is given below. How can I verify/specify the userid/password to the UpgradeManager? After the first time providing this information during Gather Upgrade Properties phase, the UpgradeManager UI does not provide a way to verify/re-specify the values.   "Caused by: wt.util.WTException: Error in finding mapping key for "user.cn" in adapter : com.xxxx.hq.xxxpvmflexapp11.XXXADSNested exception is: com.infoengine.exception.adapter.IEAdapterException; nested exception is: javax.naming.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 49 - 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C09042F, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 52e, v2580"   Thanks for help in advance.    

Greetings. I have a User who is asking me if there is a way to shut off the splash screen and have WGM open directly to his Workspace?  We are using WGM for Inventor.  I suspect there isn't but thought this group might have a way. Current View:  Desired starting view: Thanks in advance,JamesWindchill 11.0 M030 CPS09WGM 11.0 M030Inventor Pro 2017Windows 10

I have a user who was recently upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10. Before the switch, when he went to print a drawing, he had a default printer set for it to print to. Now, he has to scroll through all of the printers that he has connected to his computer. Is there any way that he can set a default printer to pop up whenever he goes to print? He is using creoview 3.1.   Thanks, Matt  

Hi,   I need help understanding how PTC HTTP Server responds to user requests on different scenario to configure my F5 BIG IP Load Balancer. I'll explain first what I have.   I created a lab with following configuration to test Windchill application clustering. WC11SRV01.lab.com - Database Server WC11SRV02.lab.com - Windchill Application Node 1 (SM, 2 MS, 1 BMS) WC11SRV03.lab.com - Indexing Search Server WC11SRV04.lab.com - Windchill Application Node 2 (SM, 2 MS, 1 BMS) BIGIP01.lab.com - F5 BIG IP LTM VE, which will work as load balancer W10CLIENT01.lab.com - A Windows 10 client All installed, configured to accept connection on plm.lab.com, working OK as long as LB is load balancing between 2 Windchill application servers. But in a scenario, where Apache runs in one node and method servers stopped, LB still directs traffic on that node. This will return "service not running" exception to user.   My BIG IP virtual server members got a health monitor of type ht

Hi All,We are in the process of having some CAD verification software developedand are running into an issue. Part of the requirements are that the toolbe able to traverse an objects (typically .prt or .asm) configuration andcheck to see if any of the dependents are directly represented in adrawing. The solution as delivered uses a call that returns ALL drawingsthat the a dependent object appears in the structure above it. That is allthe way up the assembly structure, whether the object is a direct dependentor not. This may be many in the case of a small piece part used in a largeassembly.Is there a Windchill API call that only returns the Drawings that directlyreference an object?Thanks,Benjamin A BaileyDepartment ManagerInformation TechnologyEngineering Data Systems/PDMMissile SystemsRaytheon Company+1 520.545.6579 (office)+1 520-403-1842 (cell)-6221 S Palo Verde RdTucson, AZ 85706-5093 USAwww.raytheon.comRaytheon SustainabilityThis message contains information that may be confidenti

We've now done > 10,000 changes electronically using Windchill Change Requests / Notices / Tasks. In parallel, we've been creating full product Structure for all new and changed Parts/Assy's (DESIGN View only so far). Some 50,000 Parts exist, with 800,000 where-used relationships.Changes to drawing dimensions, notes, text in Word documents, etc. are handled by marking up a representation stored in Windchill, which is duly approved, then executed.But - For BOM changes we still print and mark up a BOM from the ERP system, then attach that to the Windchill change request. Windchill product structure is modified to match. We then run a comparison of the updated ERP BOM toWindchill product structure (via sophisticated Excel macros) as a check.We're hoping to evolve to defining BOM changes in Windchill by somehow marking / annotating / making a draft of Product Structure, and having that approved and then executed during the change process. It does not currently seem straight forward to d

I have created a multi step wizard with jca.  Whenever the wizard is completed, the processor is called successfully and the code is executed, but the wizard returns to the first step, instead of closing the popup window. Also no feedback messages from the processor are displayed.  <jca:wizard buttonList="DefaultWizardButtonsNoApply" helpSelectorKey="AssignView_help" title="Batch Plot Wizard" type="wizard"> <jca:wizardStep action="createPDFActionStep1" type="createPDFObjectType" label="TDSP Create PDF" /> <jca:wizardStep action="createPDFActionStep2" type="createPDFObjectType" label="TDSP Create PDF" /> </jca:wizard>   Any idea what might be wrong here?

Hello Community,   I'm looking for a possibility to pop up a modal message dialog when working in a workflow like the dialog that is openend on doing this (also like a Java JDialog.show()):       throw new wt.util.WTException(“message”)   but when calling the searched method, the program flow shall continue with the next line, like:   boolean showInfo; ...     showInfo = true; ... if (showInfo) {   notifyUser("info message");   // go on with code }   ...  

We have a custom utility using which we can download the PDF representations in bulk. We are downloading the representation using the API  : RepresentationHelper.service.getDefaultRepresentation()   We have enabled the audit logging for Download (READ_CONTENT) and View(VIEW) events  in the file configAudit.xml We need to have this information logged in the audit report. Is it possible accomplish this ?     Thanks, Srikanth

Hi.   Can anyone share example of TableViewDescriptor usage to filter list of persistables? I need java code.   Thanks.   ps: for example i have: TableViewDescriptor myCustomTVD = ...; List<Persistable> persistableList = ...; and nothing more. What sequence of methods should i use to get filtered list of persistables according to filter in TableViewDescriptor?

I have a table in wizard page. I have actions menu on the table. When I click of the actions on the table, I need to get all the oids from the table. I don't need to have to set the setSelectable(true) as I need all the rows from table. How to do this?ArrayList a1 = paramNmCommandBean.getActionOidsWithWizard();When I use this it returns only the parent oid and not all the rows inside the table.Appreciate your help in this.

I need to access the administrative console but the only team member who had access to the tool is no longer with us. Is there a default password that can be used to access the tool? I'm not sure if they ever assigned one directly. This is for Windchill 10.1 and 11.0

Hi. I need to add some js functions for "Set Classification Attributes step". So i've added them to codebase\netmarkets\jsp\part\setClassificationAttributesWizStep.jsp But i can't see them in source code of WTPart create wizard when this step is open. Why? Where are they? Where should i put them to? And i can't register PTC.onReady function for this step for same reason i guess. Adding it at the end of jsp file does not work. What jsp file should i edit to add my js functions?   Thanks.

Windchillers,   We have a specific attribute Standard Price.  This is a text field that is populated from our ERP system (SAP).  We would like for this attribute to be only visible to the Engineering Group, and not those outside especially Sales and Field Service since this price is not the price objects are sold for.  It is an internal cost that Engineering uses to cost out changes and updates.Is there a way to hide an attribute from certain groups?  Or perhaps better deny visibility to everyone except the Engineering group.  Thanks in advance,James HallWindchill 11.0 M030 CPS09WGM 11.0 M030Inventor Pro 2017Windows 10

Question. We have a situation where we want to identify an object as something we sell. There are at least two ways we might go.1. It seems that marking them as a Service Part would fit the bill nicely as the documentation defines that object as a "record of a component or assembly in the bill of material of a product that is manufactured and shipped to a customer."  Which is pretty much what I need.  However it also seems we have to buy a Service Module (or something?) to be able to use this part designation. (perhaps I am mistaken?).  I don't see these parts as having a different lifecycle as our regular parts.2. Another route would be to create an attribute indicating if this object could be sold.  Probably a Yes/No type of selection, defaulted to No (for us it would be).  This is a good solution since I think we would be able to use this in a search.I wonder, what would be the best path for us to take, any recommendations/insights?  Than

Hello,   In our Windchill system we currently have a large library of standard hardware parts that were created in Creo Elements (Wildfire 5.0).   All of our users are now on Creo 2.0, this means that whenever they are loading an assembly that contains a standard hardware part, Creo marks it as changed and presents the user with the "The object is read only as it is not checked out" with the 4 available actions, Continue, check-out etc. This means that the user has to select an option every time they load the model to not modify the standard hardware part in Windchill.   What I'm wondering is - is there a way in Windchill that I can effectively open a part in Creo 2.0 that was initially created in Creo Elements and regenerate it and resave it to Windchill as a Creo 2.0 model, for hundreds of parts automatically?   Any help is much appreciated!   Kind Regards  

Hi All,   I am trying to create  a WTPart from java. In my set up the classification is set as a mandatory attribute.   Could you please help me on how to set  the value of the primary classification? I tried to set the default value for the classfication, however it does not work. Here is the code I am using to create WTPart.      WTPart wtpart=WTPart.newWTPart();   try {    /    TypeIdentifier typeidentifier = TypeHelper.getTypeIdentifier("WCTYPE|wt.part.WTPart");    WCTypeIdentifier wctypeidentifier = (WCTypeIdentifier) typeidentifier;    TypeDefinitionReference typeDefinitionReference = TypedUtilityServiceHelper.service.getTypeDefinitionReference(wctypeidentifier.getTypename());    wtpart.setTypeDefinitionReference(typeDefinitionReference);      wtpart.setName("Test part007");    

Hi. For table "My Tasks" i need to show some attribute (postalAddress) of PromotionNotice creator. So i added alias attribute for wt.workflow.work.WorkItem and tried to set the mapping as follows: primaryBusinessObject^wt.maturity.PromotionNotice~creator^wt.org.WTPrincipal~postalAddress But Windchill says this mapping invalid. I tried some other options but without any success. Is there any posibility to make such mapping: WorkItem -> PromotionNotice -> creator -> postalAddress ?   Thanks.  

My current setup is as follows:   Windchill PDMLink M030-CSP06 Creo View 4.2 Adobe Reader 2017   Everything seems to work. I was able to create a representation in Windchill (PDF) and view it in Creo View. However, I am not able to annotate the PDF file in Creo View. I checked the setting for Reader and mad sure 'Enable Protected Mode' was deselected and I am still unable to annotate.   - Is there anything I am missing that needs to be done? - Would installing Creo View PDF Reviewer be the solution?

Hi, We have a setting in windchill that drops the file extension from the CAD object when you create WTPart which is fine for the Model however that also drops the extension from the drawing. We then get checkin errors as the drawing is trying to create another WTPart that is not unique. Is there a setting I should be using that sees the drawing as additional content in the WTPart?   example; 1234.prt when checked in will create 1234 (WTPart) 1234.drw when checked in is also trying to create 1234 (WTPart)

I am trying load a wtpart into windchill through API's and i would like to know how to set the lifecycle state of the part to a specific state.

I need to ensure the MFG Team views only Released Drawings . I modified the Lifecycle state's Access Control and unchecked all permissions for Released State for MFG team . But the policies aren't taking effect

I have new items in multiple workspaces that were created prior to today.  This morning I tried to open one of the files and it couldn't be retrieved.  Can't export, upload or anything.  The Event Manager messages were no help (go figure).  The file was never uploaded or checked in prior.  I can open existing files that reside on our Windchill server.  This happens no matter what workspace I go into so it's not localized to one workspace.   If I create a new object, I can upload that with no problem.  It's just anything prior to today.   I tried going offline from the server and got a weird message: "Preparation to go offline failed. Do you want to go offline anyway?"  Going back online was fine.   I thought maybe the workspace was corrupted, but all at the same time??  That doesn't make sense.  Anyone got any ideas to help??  Would resetting the WC server help??  I can't think it would since these obj

Hello,       I want to know if windchill admin can change the value of any attribute on part created by some other user.   Let say, I'm user "A" created a part with some attribute, "isPrimary" with value "true". This part is checked out. Now as an admin I want to change the value of that attribute to false. Is there a way to do that?   I tried by bringing the admin context in the session:      SessionHelper.manager.setAdministrator();   And then tried to modify, but it didn't really work for me.   Thanks
