Windchill

Hello,   I'm struggling to configure Navigate to only return latest released objects, and hoping someone here knows a solution. I'm using a Saved Search in Windchill with the following criteria:   Iteration = Latest Revision = Latest State = Released   Running this search in Windchill with input of "*TEST*" returns 4 files all latest released which is correct. The same search in Navigate however, results in 7 files including some (not all) older versions of the 4 files. Expectations are that I get the same search results when using the exact same input and Saved Search between Windchill and Navigate.   What's odd is that, if I run a search in Navigate without any wildcards, using the exact Number or Name, then I get the correct result, the latest released file. Seems like older versions are included in the search result when using a wildcard character and/or when there's more than one file that matches criteria. I have attached pptx file that shows the setup and oth

This is a query regarding newly introduced 'Platform Structures' module with Conditional Rule capability.For 'New Conditional Rule' wizard, * In 'IF' section, user can select multiple choices or choices from different options - using AND, OR, NOT logical operators.* But this is not valid while adding multiple choices or even choice from different options in 'THEN' section.It seems, system validator fails to identify logical operator for this wizard.Has anyone observed this earlier while building Rules for Product Configuration ?

Please help on have a DB query to find out that how much data has been  replicated to remote file server within a given time frame.

Hi all,I have one questing can any one help me.1) What is the replica server requirements for windchill?Best RegardsSharan.

Hi All, We are approaching a complex project where we need to migrate ~400K Files (prt/as/drw), latest ONLY, from TC environment to WNC 11.1 We intent to do it using WBM. We completed the formal training of PTC and we are able to install, configure & run data loading of sample data. As we are currently planning the process and we have some question where we looking for "trusted advice" from the experts.   some of the question are: 1. is there and prefered way to load the data ? should it be wiser to load first parts, then assemblies and then drawing or it makes no difference? 2. is there any recommendation for amount of items to run at each load ? we understood that going "all at once" for the 400K items, we be problematic due to performance issues. is it ? if do, what is the recommended chunk ? 3. Is there any known issues with loading OLD creo files? customer has file from Pro/E 16. 4. Is there any known issues with loading Creo Family tables files? 5. Is there any acti

There are tons of people using AWS.  There are tons of people running Windchill.  There are tons of people running SQL Server.  Is there anybody out there running Windchill and SQL Server on AWS?  I've been trying for days, along with PTC tech support to install Windchill on an AWS instance.  It just will not connect to SQL Server no matter what we try.    Yes, we are using supported versions of everything.  SQL Server 2016 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 1. Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 RTM 64-bit Locale English AMI provided by Amazon. Windchill 11.   SQL Server appears to be installed correctly We can log into it using the  Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) tool but the PTC Solution Installer (PSI) refuses to connect to it. "Failed to connect to the database. Please check the login credentials (Hostname, Instance name, Port number and User connection information)."   Please help!

hi,how can i use the wtpart number in the drawing?which is the parameter to use?thanks

Currently there are 2000 objects being displayed in a Windchill folder, is there a preference setting to change that amount higher? 

The minimum requirements (see below) for PDM Essentials state that Windows Server 2008 R2 or 2012 R2 are required; however is it possible to run it on a PC running Windows 10? I would assume performance degradation as well. Has anyone tried this?     Server Software Requirements • Windows Server: ◦ Windows Server 2012 R2 64-bit (Standard Edition or higher) ◦ Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit (Standard Edition or higher) • Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Version 7, Update 51 or later • Windows update for Microsoft Universal C Runtime

Hi,We are trying to make an automatic numbering system for certain product folders. Ideally, we would like to have a prefix that reflects the product folder name and then a sequential number (auto generated).Our current system involves us manually changing the prefix in the OIR. Is there any way to add the context as a prefix by editing the OIR file so that this is automatic for all products created? The current number generating script looks like:<AttrValue id="number" algorithm="com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.revisionControlled.server.impl.NumberGenerator"> <Arg>PROJ-EMR:ZHD-</Arg> <Arg>{GEN:wt.enterprise.SequenceGenerator:WTDOCUMENTID_seq:6:0}</Arg></AttrValue>Thanks,Hannah

I am setting up a new installation of Windchill 11.0 M030 and having issues with getting the OIRs to ask for the file name instead of using a sequence number from the DB. I have looked at sample code, even the code from my other installation (which someone else set up at V8) and am having problems understanding the code within the OIR.   Is there someplace in the documentation that explains the various value and constraint parameters used in an OIR that I haven't found? Will someone share their OIR for number that will ask for the number instead of pulling the sequence from the db?    

Hi All, Here is my requirement, I have 2 Attributes on Document, i.e. Level A and Level B. level A is Boolean type attribute and Level B is String type.   we need a behavior like, when Level A is true then Level B must be mandatory attribute and if Level A is false then Level B is normal attribute or grayed out attribute.   while doing this i am exploring "Conditional Constraints" in type and attribute manager, where we can choose a Driver attribute on that basis it will render driven attribute, but my difficulty is that in this case, i am able to select Driver attribute, but not able to set behavior of driven attribute.   Please check attached Image. and let me know how i can save information          

Greetings all. At my company there has been a practice for some time to use the Unit of Measure in SAP as EA.  We are about to install Windchill 11.0 M030.   I was told today that 'as needed' is not available in SAP.   We have many many BOM's with 0.01 or some such real number.  However it seems that Windchill is insisting that EA be a whole number.  The situation we have is what we have, but going forward I wondered if we could action the Reference Designator field in some way? I've seen some ideas concerning this related to Creo, however we have Inventor as our CAD program.    This seemed interesting, but not sure it would work for Inventor. https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS128537‌ I know other companies have faced this, I'm curious what they did to solve the problem.Thanks in advance,JamesWindchill 11.0 M030 CPS09WGM 11.0 M030Inventor Pro 2017Windows 10

I created a custom role and would like to use the same actions menu used by the guest role.  How would I go about implementing this?

Hi,I currently am trying to add an action on a certain soft-type of WTDocument to allow starting a workflow with this object as PBO.I'm able to add the action in the UI "pointing" to a jsp and after some study, determined that using the OOTB "start-worflow" webject is the best thing to do (but if you have another solution, I'm always interested).But how to get and pass the parameter needed by this webject in a jsp ? (meaning : I don't even have a clue on how to do it). Indeed, My action will be added directly in the list of choices (with check-out, check-in, download, setstate, etc... actions).I'm not a professionnal programmer and still learning but any help will be appreciated.Edit : I didn't told that I were on ProjectLink 9.1M050. Sincerely,Thibault Magné

Hi,   We just installed Windchill 11.0 M030 together with PSM 6.0. PSM collects data from all agents except WindchillDS, it seems. The error shown in PSM Client is "ptc.wt.WindchillDS@<ds_host_name>:<port>: Instrumentation disabled since the agent was not mapped into an agent group". Following are already tried, but still error persist. Made sure agent name in <ds_path>\server\java.properties in Windchill server and agent name in "Windchill DS" agent group are same. Restarted whole dynaTrace servies. Error persist. Tried giving the host name manually in agent mapping under "Windchill DS" agent group. Restarted whole dynaTrace services. Error persist. Please help here.   Thank you

We are planning for ISO-27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS) certification so for this please let us know what are the things in Windchill which need to be checked/need to be in place.Thanks in advance!

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

I'm trying to use alias attribute to dsiplat some informations from a promotion request as attributes on a document.I got to display the promotion request number and the promotion date using alias attributes, but I also need to display the user that aproves this promotion request.For date and number promotion request, I use the following mapping:roleBObject@wt.maturity.PromotionTarget~roleAObject^wt.maturity.PromotionNotice~promotionDateroleBObject@wt.maturity.PromotionTarget~roleAObject^wt.maturity.PromotionNotice~numberBut for approver, I use the following mapping but no value is displayed:roleBObject@wt.maturity.PromotionTarget~roleAObject^wt.maturity.PromotionNotice~roleBObject^wt.workflow.engine.WfVotingEventAudit~workCompletedByIf anyone could provide some support, I would appreciate it.Wesley

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.
