Windchill

Hi, Since the upgrade to the menus system I now am prompted to sign in to the windchill page. How do I get round this? I'm not sure what my password is as it is a saved one, How do I reset?

I'm trying to get the ACL rule correct for a user to be able to add to his workspace EPM Documents at Released.  His workspace is in a different product than the EPM Document.  I thought that I just needed Read and Download in the Product directory for EPM Documents at Released with the Role that the group is in.  Am I missing something?  I'm on WC 11.0.

Hi all,   My client has given 2500+ part numbers in an excel file, asked to trace all the attributes and finally told to change the state of all 2500+ parts in a short interval.   I am almost new to Windchill.  So, any possible solutions are accepted.   Thanks Naga

Hi all,   I have a small question to reduce the manual work.  I have given a work to change the association of WT parts from doc files to CAD files.  I have 100's of files to associate.   In the progress of work, I need to associate all the CAD files and change the association type of each individual, later I need to delete the related document object.  As there are 100's of file, I am taking more than 05 to 10 days to complete the task.  But I don't want to waste my time working on it.   FYKI, I am using Windchill 10.2   Please provide some suggestions.   Thanks Naga Ranjithkumar A

Something changed when I upgraded from 10.2 to 11.0 and the default task that populates when you create a CN has changed.  We have to different soft type CNs.  Each of them have a different soft type Task.  Back in 10.2 I created a template for our "special" CN so that it would populate the soft type for it because the default had been the "normal" CN task.  Now the "special" task is defaulting when the "normal" CN is created.  I cannot create a template for the "normal" CN because there are attributes on the CN that have to be left blank to force the user to answer them and the template will not allow for them to be blank.  So my question is, how do I change it so that the "normal" task will be the default when creating a CN?

~How to set mail notification frequency if we can ? EX : If we have set the password expiry notification to give alert before 5 Days of password expiry, it will notify users, but will it notify everyday ? and what will be the frequency of getting notification/per day ? Can we set this value ?

Please help me as Windchill M030 has stopped suddenly to publish anything to our MES system. It is not able to create XML file for part/plan/etc we publish from Windchill. There is error available at method server after publish but i can't get it understand that what's the problem with Windchill happened. error is:   2018-03-28 11:57:55,200 INFO [WfUserWorkQueue.PoolQueueThread-2] wt.system.out Administrator - ESI release : ESI ( 600 ) : Continues to publish "SPART_032801, SPART_032801, A.1 (Manufacturing)". 2018-03-28 11:57:56,042 INFO [SessionThread-4] wt.system.out - Debug: Start Custom CodeDebug: Generate ResponseDebug: Writing IeCollection to file: nullERROR: PublishToSolumina method failed: null 2018-03-28 11:57:56,042 INFO [SessionThread-4] wt.system.err - java.lang.NullPointerException 2018-03-28 11:57:56,042 INFO [SessionThread-4] wt.system.err - at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:203) 2018-03-28 11:57:56,042 INFO [SessionThread-4] wt.system.e

Hello there, I tried to search EEPROM from "Browse library and select item # from attached file, but after calculated that part does not have FIT data. Thank you Hai

Dear All,I am using PTC Creo 2.0 with windchill integration. But every time opening big assembly it pop up below dialog box. Many times my team members pressed OK & all assemblies are revised and checked out & creates a lots of trouble for me. I want to disable Revise and Check out now option. Please do needful

for work spaces with very large cache (>5gb), when first opening the work-space it takes a very long time to open the first file.  My understanding of the cache is that it is a locally stored file.  So between my solid state drive, and my 8 core processor, loading local files should be a breeze.  If i have a new or empty workspace, it does not take so long to load.  So what is windchill/ creo doing that causes this to take so long? 

Hey,   I've done quite a bit of scouring of the forums, help docs, internet and can't for the life of me figure out a suitable way to tie a manufacturer part number to a Windchill Part and have it as a select-able column in either Managed Structure View or BOM Report. All I'm looking for is a WC part attribute, variable, description, etc which will persist with that WC part regardless of BOM manipulation. Right now the only work around I've got to work is using "Reference Designator" in Part Usage Info which is less than ideal. I do understand that PTC offers a module for manufacturer control, but I am not interested in that as we do not need that level of control.   I appreciate your help and time!

I really do not want to have to re-create 71 data monitors that I had built/created in WC 10.2 into WC 11 there must be a way to Copy/Export and Import them into the newer version of Windchill.  It took a lot of hours to get them established and I do not want to have to go through all that work again.  Please let me know if our IT department can get this accomplished for us.  It was enough that we had to re-create all of our CR and CN tasks.

Has anyone else had problems with the recent Firefox 59 update?   I've been using Windchill 11 (11.0 M030 CPS07) via Firefox without problems up to the end of last week.  Yesterday morning (after my initial log-in), Firefox updated to 59 and some time after that Windchill stopped accepting my credentials (across multiple platforms), and I and our IT team have been chasing the problem for about the past working day.  Through multiple trials this morning, it seems that once my account is unlocked (again!) I can access it through IE, and through the embedded IE in Creo, but not in Firefox any more.   Known issue, or should I flag it more formally (if others can corroborate)?

Greetings,We are installing Windchill for the first time at this company and are using:  Windchill 11.0 M030 CPS08, WGM 11.0 M030, Inventor Pro 2017, Windows 10. I am interested in using the Windchill preference Part Structure Override Attribute Name to prevent accidental Auto-Association of WTParts during Check in of new or imported assemblies.  This is an attribute that overrides another action, so YES means that you do want to override the WTPart creation action and prevent the Auto-Associate.  We are going to set the default value to be NO, and if you wanted to prevent a WTPart being created you would change it to YES. My question is, what attribute do I put in my CAD file?  Must it be named Part Structure Override Attribute Name to function properly?  Or is there a way to rename it in the CAD file?As an Admin In Windchill you go to Windchill Preference Management, navigate to Operation ▶ Auto Associate ▶ Pa

Hello GurusWe have a bunch of products that were created in past, but never put to use as intended. We could rename and repurpose these empty products, but would like to modify the "product creator" and "created date".Does anybody know how to achieve this?

We currently require that our CN Task number matches our CN Notice number.  The main reason is for reports that MFG runs against the CN number to get the Resulting Objects in PDF format for a meeting.  What I would like to do is type in the CN Notice number and get the Resulting Objects no matter what the CN Task number is that is associated with the CN Notice.  It works well if the numbers are the same, but if they get off, then the report doesn't work.  When this happens it takes a lot of time and work to get it all corrected, depending on when it was caught.  I am hoping that this is a simple join, but does anyone know how to do this?

Greetings Wind-Chillers, Our company is installing Windchill for the first time, and we are working out some of our CAD/WTPart Structure build preferences.  Windchill 11.0 M030 CPS08, WGM 11.0 M030, Inventor Pro 2017, Windows 10I am correct in predicting the behavior listed below?   We are considering adding a Boolean attribute to the CAD objects and templates called Part Structure Override Attribute Name.  As I understand it at this time, when that attribute is set to YES and even if the tick box on the check in action is set to YES, a WTPart is NOT created and Auto-Associated with the CAD object.   If the value in the CAD object was set to NO, then a WTPart would be created if the tick box on Check in was selected YES.I would very much like it if Windchill would interpret the absence of the attribute (older CAD objects) as a NO, and not create a WTPart.   I suspect this would be customization.   It seems that once the C

Hi,I need to create a report that lists Change Requests and their connected Problem Reports.For example, the preferable output would be:ECR#: Date Created: PR# Date Created:ECR-123 1/4/2006 10:20:30 PR-123 1/4/2005 10:20:30 PR-456 1/4/2004 10:20:30ECR-456 and so on...The goal is to get the time from Problem reported to ECR initiated.It seems to me that my query needs to involve some kind of link/reference between ECR and PR, could be wrong though.As you understand I'm pretty new to this, have only done some simple reports and finding a good source for learning is hard.Please let me know if more information on the subject is needed.Thankful for any tips.

A general question, how many max docs recommended in single Windchill folder?    Just wondering if PTC had a recommended amount to stay under to prevent waiting for all the docs to load up in that folder.

When PTC Windchill 11.0 Oracle to SQL Server Database Migration Tool 11.0 M030 is started and the Windchill directory is chosen a message of error appear.Saying: "The required install was not found. Directory D:\ptc\Windchill must contain the following product for the isntalltion process to continue: Windchill."   Any ideias?

Hi All,I am wondering if you guys came across this issue:We just switched to using Creo 3.  We were using Creo 2 with Windchill 10.2Our start parts have these standard relations:PART_NUMBER = rel_model_name()PART_NAME = PTC_COMMON_NAMEPART_NUMBER and PART_NAME are designated parameters, and they are used in standard drawing's BOM tables.Anyway, with Creo 2, when I renamed the CAD object in Windchill commonspace and downloaded this object to a workspace, then upon opening it and doing a regeneration, we'd get a warning about regenerating a read-only model.  Subsequently, when attempting to save it, the "checkout/continue/make read-only" dialog box would be shown.Now, in Creo 3, sames scenario leads to the model regenerating without any notifications (which is kind of nice), and the model parameters are changed (silently).However, if one does nothing else to this model, and tries to save it, then the system says "object not saved because it was not changed"  But that's obv
