Windchill

Hello,   I'm looking for a workflow expression code that will launch a dialog box for the reviewer to select an item from a drop-down list when rejecting. The goal is to append the selected value to the Comments and write it into the database to later extract and report on workflow rejections.   I tried using the Java Swing Dialog, but am stuck with an error...   Here's the sample code (2nd line throwing error): String[] codes = {"DES", "DFT", "BOM"};String code = (String) javax.swing.JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Select Rejection Code:", "You have chosen to reject this workflow:", javax.swing.JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, null, codes, codes[1]);if (code.trim().length() == 0) {throw new wt.workflow.engine.FailedTransitionException(e2);}   The error is: wt.util.WTException: java.awt.HeadlessException   Does anyone know a way around the above error, or have an alternative method of launching a dialog box from a wo

When configuring the Windchill System with multiple Method and Background Method Servers, after the response from SAP comes, the Publishing Status of the Distribution Target is empty.   Strangely this happens only when the user that initiates this is part of a group, and not when the user is added directly under the ESI Engineer and Members Roles.

My requirement is to use a webject to create windchill objects by means of thingworx service. It'll be helpful if there are any practical examples available. I'm new to windchill and thingworx.  

Has anyone used a workflow to set/modify security labels on objects?

Hello, Is there an option or a way to register a Windchill server for launching Creo 4.0 (compatible with SSO functionality) ? Actually, we have scripts that copy “srv_mgr_db3.fldx” files to help our users to register to PDMLink server without the hassle of entering the url address. These scripts allow keyusers to launch on dev platforms also. PTC hotline says fldx files are not supported with SSO (Single Sign On) and Creo 4.0.   Do you know if there is a config option or other methodology to connect to Windchill server after launching Creo 4.0 with SSO functionality? Thanks 4 your help 😉 ++ Nicolas

We have some a scenario where we have some wire that we modeled as a single part; however, the BOM on the drawing we want it to say 500mm.  If I do the Auto-Associate as OWNER, it will come in as QTY.1.  Will the other selections (Content/Image/Contributing Content/Contributing Image) allow for the part associated to be populated in the BOm, but allow me to overwrite the Quantity for the Windchill Part (Gear part)?Thanks!

Anyone here looked at migrating off of Windchill to other PLM tools such as ARAS?   If so, what were some of the struggles you ran into on the Windchill side?  Level of Effortt?   ...Asking for a friend...

I just tested an import from another 10.1 server onto my 11.0 server and I'm getting "hierarchy DisplayName is different fomr the value as found in database".   When I check the attribtues on my 11 system the hierarchy DisplayName label is not listed but when I check my 10.1 servers they are listed, has anyone found a work around to this issue concerning the hierarchy DisplayName giving issues when Importing or any other similar issues others may have experienced?   Thanks,

Hi all, <default .wf folder is register with userone credentials> (userone successfully logged in)   <modified .psf file with another path registered with usertwo credentials> (usertwo successfully logged in) ENV=PTC_WF_ROOT=<path> ENV=PTC_WLD_ROOT=<path> ENV=CREO_AGENT_HOME=<path>   <modified .psf file with another path registered with userthree credentials> (message: server already registered with usertwo credentials) ENV=PTC_WF_ROOT=<differentpath> ENV=PTC_WLD_ROOT=<differentpath> ENV=CREO_AGENT_HOME=<differentpath>   using these user configuration in parametric.psf file I am able to login with two windchill credentials now while server cache being registered at two different locations. But when I specified third location and tried to launch creo parametric 4.0 with new user credentials, it's displaying a message server already registered to 'older user'. Even though I have specified different location why is it ta

Dear all, - we are working  with Windchill 10.2 and Creo Parametric 4.0 M040. - we have several CATIA and Creo files stored in Windchill. - a DIP (Data Import Profile) is defined. - the DIP points to 2 templates (PRT & ASM template) Scenario 1: open CATIA model in Creo: in the modeltree all defined DTM's (Axis, Coord System, Planes) are visible. Also the MATERIAL was used form the template. So I know that the model template was used. OK!!! Scenario 2: open another CATIA model in Creo: in the modeltree NO DTM's visible. No MATERIAL. NOK!!!   Had anybody here in Forum the same issue? And a resolution?   Many Thanks, Ralf

My team is evaluating WindChill in a sandbox environment and we also have ArborText 7 with Styler installed.  The use case we are looking at is for a user who has access to the WindChill sandbox, but does not have ArborText installed.  These would be people who have experience hand-editing DITA xml as well as for other DTDs.   Here are the steps that what we would like to do:   Download a dynamic document as ASCII text without the using Arbortext as a proxy.  We want to just download the text and open in a free text editor (e.g. notepad or notepadd++).    Edit the document using the free text editor. Upload the edited document as a new version of the original dynamic document we downloaded on step 1. This is something that is quite straightforward to do in a tool like SharePoint, but there is no obvious way in Windchill.  Is it even possible to do what I am asking?    

Suppose if checkout the document how to I edit the Document and Checkin. And also Checkin its tells us to upload the file from local drive.

I am having a difficult time getting my risk level to follow my RPN.  My risk level and matrix are setup for a high, medium, and low.  Where low is green, medium is yellow, and high is red.  What I am trying to get to is if my RPN is less than 125 my risk level is green, 125-200 is yellow and anything over 200 is red.  Any help would be great.

Currently have two separate but very similar Query Builder Reports that I would like to combine into one.   Both reports are for change notices, and we create change notices for both EPM Documents (CAD) as well as WTDocuments (PDF).  So we have three scenarios for the change notice : Only EPMDocs. Only WTDocs Both  The two existing reports work fine separately, but when combined deliver incorrect results.   I suspect that I don't have the joins done correctly.   Any advice?    

I have to export my project in windchill quality solution 11 and the file must be compatible with the version 10.1 How can i save the project in an older version?  

Hi All,Upon running WINDU i got a potential problem as "SeriesSortIdDiagnosticTask"I had followed the steps in the caseCS52067https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS52067&source=Bloop When Windchill server is fully up we execute the below command in Windchill Shell and ensure correct number of sort ids are repopulated. We use Windchill Site Administrator credentials when prompted to complete the execution of command.windchill wt.series.SeriesSortValuePopulaterBut thereafter there is no result. I had entered the command in Windchill and thereafter nothing got processed or executed. Within windchill shell it shows nothing (like the cursor goes to the next line but nothing is getting processed) and also there is no change in the method server log/background method server logs. So can anyone please let me know like what might have happened and why isn`t it executing anything ?Thanks in advance.Best Regards,Aditya Achanta

I am starting to load Supplier Management data. To do that I need to create Suppliers. I can do this as wcadmin and create a new Organization for each Suppler or use our current company org. These Suppliers can be created at Org or Site. When the role that has the ability to create AML/AVL items (parts) selects the org, the search only returns some Suppliers and not others? Why? They can see some that are at Site and some at Org. Some have the Supplier have it's own Organization and others use company Org. They all have the same lifecycle. Any ideas?

Hi All,   Any recommendation on working with jquery in the change management. I have requirement to toggle attribute display based on another attribute. Windchill 11.1 new feature on cascade attribute doesn't satisfy as it doesn't have logical conditioning of the attribute values ( ie AND and OR).    But somehow jquery is not fetching any object in the change management page.   Help me if you have worked on this kind of approach.

After searching for and finding files in my windchill interface, is there a way that I can; 1. Add selected files to my workspace 2. Request a revision for the selected files 3. Checkout the selected files all in a single action?

Has anyone configured the rules.xml file when importing Libraries from one system to another (10.1->11.0) using the Import utility? Attached is the file I need to configure, I just need to know if attribute part errors I'm receiving when attempting to Import a Library is what ONLY needs to be configured in the rules.xml file?

Hello PTC  members, I am new to PTC windchill, Please suggest me any documents, links or videos for beginners. Is there any expert can teach me. Please respond to my email Thanks in advance.     Regards Karthik  

Hi All,   For one of our customers, we configured Windchill (WC_11.0 version) and so as Mail Server. They are using Office 365 as their mail server (in cloud). So I configured Windchill SMTP with port 587 and used other properties like user name and password. Now if I send mails from Windchill, logs are showing that they er successfully delivered but actual user is not getting mails in his inbox. As per my knowledge I asked customer's IT admins to Whitelist mails coming from Windchill. They could not understand that and asking me to confirm the mailid to which they need to whitelist. Infact whenever I tried to send mail to any user from Windchill, their mail server logs shows that from address is postmaster@machinename. They are saying that if there is a mailid instead of machine name, they can whitelist. Can u suggest how I can explain better to them.. Please suggest me for the same. Thanks in advance.     Regards, Krishna Chaithanya
