Windchill

Hello,   I recently upgraded Windchill 10.2 to 11.0. Everything went fine, except one issue with post upgrade configuration of vault.  Windchill 10.2 vault host type was 'Standalone Node'. Windchill 11.0 vault host type is configured as 'Cluster Node' for the sake of having one more node for Windchill. UpgradeManager updated vault configuration, but with 'Standalone Node' host type. I updated Master Vaults and Replica Vaults root folder paths to point new WC11.0 locations and validated. All are showing Valid. So far everything is good. See the screenshot below, which is showing correct paths. The moment I try to change host type to 'Cluster Node', it is throwing an error as following;   Please help me understand where should I make further updates to have old paths replaced with new ones.   Thank you,

Has anyone looked at the Category drop down for PRs and CRs and felt that they should not be using the same resource bundle? How hard is it to split into two?  I know I can customize and overload the drop down but does it make sense that they are the same?  I can see categories that might apply for a PR but when it comes to CR would not or visa versa.  Who has also faced this?

Does any have experience creating a Technical Data Package (Windchill Package) that contains only all dependent CAD Documents for an initially selected Product Structure (top-level assembly)?   I've experimented with Configuration Rules, Filters, and excluding parts from the package without much success. Any help or directions would be appreciated.

I have done many OOTB installs and some basic entries to test a Windchill install but this will be my first production setup. With that, I am seeking some advice and or clarification on my planned procedure.  I have Windchill 11.0 m030 CPS08 installed OOTB with only test data loaded. Do I need to reinitialize the data base by using drop user and create user to get a clean empty DB before starting? Is it best to use the bulk loader for establishing participants, products, libraries, lifecycles, versioning, vaulting, etc.? I would think this would give the flexibility that if something is really wrong, you can edit the input file after reinitializing the DB and reload the data. Should the bulk loader do everything at once or as separate input runs? What is the ‘proper’ sequence of loading data? Users and groups, product and library structures, vaults, lifecycles,  roles, teams, OIRs, etc. Does it matter which is done first? For the bulk loading, can anyone give me same pointers

Hi, we have a new Windchill setup with Content Cache Servers.   Regarding the Content Replication Rule - Collection Criterias, which objects we should choose? We select the latest iteration and the target, that's clear.   But Object Types? EPM Document for example. In the Find Tree there are 3 different Versions. In the Overview only "EPM Document" is listed. How to maintain an overview? Which types do you replicate? We want to have all CAD-Files cached for Creo. Representables for Creo View?   br Bernhard

The MaturityServices provides methods to handle targets and seeds. Can someone explain the difference between both targets and seeds ?   In the Windchill GUI, I can only Promotion Objects are linked.

Is there a go-to document or site that explains how to use ant with Windchill?   I have a lot of manual tasks to automate (deployments, admin tasks…) and have lots of catching up to do. If at least I could take a look at what ant can do, that may fill some of my requirements. So I'm starting with ant and will see how far I get with that.   Thanks!

Is there any API to identify file uploaded to vault ?

Is there any API to upload file directly to vault, without attaching it to any part or document?

I have a workflow for a document.  I want to check for a variable and if it reports back "N" to open a popup window telling the user what needs to be done.  Is this possible inside of the workflow under the "Complete" transition?  If it is, does anyone have any code for opening the popup?  Or do I have to write code outside of Windchill and reference it from the transition area?

Hi All,   Is any way in WIndchill so that any conatiner like Product or library will be get created along with certain set of predefined documents ?   Actually, we have some set of external / internal documents, and want to create a product such a way that, at the time of product creation all of these mentioned documents also got created or moved to that product automatically.   Initially my thought about the Product Templates, but i am not sure about how data will be copied or created while product creation.   Please help me to get the solution of this.   Regards, Vivek

I am testing a new install of Windchill 11.0 m030 CPS08 and set wt.fv.fvFileThreshold to 20. I have also set wt.fv.useFvFileThreshold, wt.fv.useVaultsForAllContent and wt.fv.forceContentToVault to true. When I created the vault, I set it to Automatic folder creation. This is what we want to test.   Does Windchill create a new folder and start populating it when the threshold limit is reached?   I have uploaded 30 documents to Windchill and they are all going into my initial folder. Is there a minimum threshold number that is not documented?   On my other production system, it did not have the Automatic option when setup back at Windchill 8, so I manually create new folders and be sure that 2 or 3 are mounted and ready for the threshold of 50,000 to do the rollover. It works as expected.   Windows Server 2012 r2 Oracle 12c DB Windchill 11.0 m030 CPS08

Hello,   I have thousands of Windchill parts saved in multiple folders in Windchill. In these folders I am able to see columns with weight, thickness, material and other information about these parts.   I would like to know if there is an easy way to export every single part of all folders and subfolders into 1 excel sheet, with the same columns as I get in the folders.   Thanks in advance!
