Windchill

Greetings, I have used Project to organize project documents, requirements and testing documents around Windchill PDMLink deployment and upgrades. The problem is that now these documents should be revised and that does not seem to be an option in Project.   Question. Is it worth the effort to "Send to PDM" so they can be revised know that it will leave a copy on the PDM side? Or, Should I just Export all the documents, Import them into a new Library and then renumber them back to the original numbers created in Project (as the numbers are referenced all over these documents).       https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill-Ideas/Revise-Documents-in-Project-Link/idi-p/488599  

I've been going thru the various posts here to try to find a solution to a question I have that seems like it should be simple to do (or at least obviously possible in the workflows). But I've been unsuccessful so far.  We have a Change Request flow that classifies the type of change, defines the impact of the change (low, medium, high) and based on that impact selects an approver list. Those three pieces of data need to get passed to the Change Notice flow where they are used for notifications and other activities.    I created a new attribute in the Change Request that is my classification attribute and I can pull that into the Change Request workflow to be used/consumed there using this bit code here. That works fine. What doesn't work is trying to pass that to the Change Notice flow.  I came across this and tried creating an Alias attribute in the Change Notice. The mapping (theChangeOrder2@wt.change2.AddressedBy2~theChangeRequest2^wt.change2.WTChangeReques

Hello, I am could use some plain english step by step instructions to add and attribute to our CAD Document Type.  I want to add one called UOM.  UOM will be a string.  I need to know how to add this to our Creo Start Part that it can be edited from Windchill or Creo.  Just a plane string attritbute/parameter that I can see in Creo and Winchill.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I've been trying to setup the Change workflows so that the Change Notice Task assignee and reviewer would receive an email notification - and only them instead of everyone in the same context team role - once the Audit Change Notice is completed, but apparently it's not enough just to add the "Assignee" role in the Change Notice Workflow step "Change Notice Complete Notification". Is it even possible as Change Activity Workflow is a separate one? We have slightly modified workflows and Teams and maybe the answer lies there, but I'm not too familiar with these yet. However, adding the role Assignee to relevant change Teams didn't help. We're on 10.2.   Any ideas appreciated.    

Dear Experts ,   We want an assembly to be accessed from specific group of people, where we wanted to restrict a specific sub assembly for the users from reading it.   It is known fact that keeping the "restrictive" objects in seperate folder or a different context should address - But I am looking if there any option to store the complete assembly in a single location.   TOP_LEVEL_ASSEMBLY.asm | |__ SUB_ASSEMBLY_1.asm | |__ SUB_ASSEMBLY_2.asm | |__ SUB_ASSEMBLY_3.asm   Rules to be in place : 1) Restrict SUB_ASSEMBLY_1.asm (and its dependents) to be read. 2) Allow SUB_ASSEMBLY_2.asm (and its dependents) for read only. 3) Allow SUB_ASSEMBLY_3.asm (and its dependents) to be read and write.   Appreciate your support on how to approach this requirement.     Thanks Murthi

In the primary attributes layout of my Document Details tab, I would like to display the following: 1. State (not state.state, but just the sole state of the object) 2. VersionHistoryInfo (that which is stored under History Tab as Authorization)   Selecting New Attribute, I need potentially three bits of information for each: - internal name - Type (Would Alias be correct?) - Mapping text   Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Good morning, gurus!   I have an Or conditional in a workflow.  If evaluated once to loop back through, things are triggered fine, workflow is looped back.  If the or evaluates to loop through a second time, the workflow stalls.  No errors, nothing to show what happened.  I'm assuming there is a basic something I'm missing here (I do see that the wf detects there is a multiple routing of this branch, so maybe that?   I appreciate the help.   Brian Krieger   PS:  Even if the Or condition is simply hardwired as:   try { System.out.println("**PR Manager **Checking for Empty Key Roles**");  boolean continueOn = false; if(continueOn){  result="SetupComplete"; } else{  result="NotifyEmptyApr"; } }catch (Exception e) {  System.out.println("**PR Manager **Unkown Exception**");  result="NotifyEmptyApr";}   In this case, the "NotifyEmptyApr" branch would be executed.  Will

Ever since upgrading to Windchill  11.0 I have issues with saving reports in report management.  I get an Error pop up box.  I'm on Windchill 11.0 m030 CSP01.  Has anyone else had issues?  Solutions?  I am working with tech support but am hoping someone else has already gone through this.  

Hi   Has anyone successfully installed Navigate 1.5 without PingFederate SSO? All documentation I found includes the steps to configure PingFederate configuration for SSO. As I am trying this on Dev server, I am trying to skip the SSO.   When I test the services on ptc-windchill-demo thing, I get the results. But when I access the apps that use the same service, no results are showing up. I also tried the REST URL generated in Runtime Integration window when we use the app. That  gives the results when accessed in stand alone browser.   Does Navigate 1.5 without SSO?   Thanks Mahesh

Hi,   pingFederate installation and licence file deployment  is same or different.   https://support.ptc.com/WCMS/files/172779/en/PTC_Single_Sign_on_Architecture_and_Configuration_Overview_Guide.pdf​   The attached document describes the Installing pingfederate, in which procedure for installation is not available but steps for deployment of licence file is available.   Can  anyone please help me out in installing the pingFederate..?   Thanks, Madhu

I have a bunch of emails from PDMLink 11 about exceeded Total Entries Threshold for multiple queues. What do I need to do to clean these up so the emails stop!

Hello all, I am new to the community and unfamiliar with administering WindChill..   I work for an international company that hosts its WindChill server across the pond. Each of the user installs that we are pushing out defaults to having its cache hosted on a local fikle server. Which wasn't really an issue until several of my users went to travel internationally and when they went to kick off WGM, having to access a cache on a local US share, while in Europe which is now causing some latency problems. That said, is there a good method for updating where items are cached (i.e. on the local disk as opposed to a share) after we have already installed WGM on the user's machine?

We have built Windchill on Window 2012 R2. When i create a new user, a new tab and a blank page popup window are created at the same time. In Google, you have set "User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for Built-in Administrator Account" to "Enabled" in Local Policy in Administrative Tools in Control Panel. However, if i do, the http server and windchill Method server will not work. I tried clicking on it to grant administrator rights but could not find Take Ownership.How do I fix it?   thank  

How do I configure a participant when making a promotion request?Do you assign role members to the resource pool for all workflow activities?

We have a materials library in Creo that goes to our Windchill App server directory but the contents of this folder are not inside a Windchill library if that makes any sense, its more like a local library thats shared. Creo users can get to it. Now, we also have a materials library in Windchill, the problem is, I cannot upload my Creo materials library objects, into the Windchill Library, when I try to do so it says the file is not unique. When I try to find the file in Windchill it does not exist. How do I work around this?

I am getting error Exception executing service,GetAppCollection.This service is returning null value. Here is the snippet. @Override     public InfoTable GetAppCollections() throws Exception {           InfoTable consolidatedAppCollections = InfoTableInstanceFactory.createInfoTableFromDataShape((String)"PTC.NavigateApps.CollectionDataShape");         this.appCollectionsConsolidator.addAppCollectionRow(consolidatedAppCollections, "Product Configurator", null,null,TagLink.valueOf(VOCAB_PTC, VIEW_PR), 200);         return consolidatedAppCollections;        }

If you check in to windchill, there is a problem with visualization as follows. There is no problem with other CAD data.   Opened in Creo View, it is not visualized some. In Creo, everything is well displayed. What's the problem?In addition, I am using the 4.1 adapter and the option in the recipe editor is not selected. thank

i configrue reverse proxy refer CS68466 The third step in configuring Apache was applied to the http server installed by PSIAfter completing the configuration, accessing Windchill with Proxy DNS showed a credential failureIf you enter Windchill's installed DNS, it will switch to proxy DNSWhy do I get a credential failure?

Hi,I'm sure that there are a lot of people using Creo Parametrics spec driven Piping and at the sametime using Windchill. My question is, can you integrate the spec-driven piping (master catalog directory) into the Windchill? If not, what is the right way to do it? The usual way, I think, is to keep the master catalog file directory in your local drive. But then there is the problem of multiple people using/updating the master catalog and thus having the risk of having multiple different versions of Mcat in use. I guess one solution would be to use a shared network drive, so that all the people who are using spec-driven piping would have automatically same files available. But it would be nice if the whole thing could work through Windchill.And one extra question: Is there any risk using spec-driven piping with Windchill regarding part versioning/duplicates. If I use piping and add multitude of similar valves, for example, and then upload the assembly containing those to the Windchill

HelloI'm new on Windchill so the question to come will probably be easy to answer.I want to create a small report that shows the link between all my users and the associated groups they belong to (at site level) - what I can see in Principal Administrator but for all users in one report.Since I couldn't find any standard report or other functionality to do that, I wanted to design my own one with report manager.I could find the user (WTuser) data, the group( WTgroup) data but I can't find the link between them.Can one of you help me to define the object I need to show these links ?Thank you !!!RegardsBenoit

Hello,   is it possible to use the query builder to query all CAD objects that have a link to a Part and give me the part number and the association type (Owner/Image/Content). Best would be if I get the CAD objects that have no link to a part additionally.   Thank you.

I would like to implement a test report system using Windchill, if it seems reasonably.   Basically, if we have a prototype or test scenario where a part is damaged or not working as we would like, we would like to save this as a failure report. I will give a specific example:   We produce a simple electronic device, a computer mouse, and one of the buttons fails to work as desired on one of the 100 identical prototypes we produce. We have a failure report template but would like to have all the failure reports for a prototype organised. We will have multiple identical prototypes but with some failing certain tests and we need to take a log of all the problems with said mouse.   What is the best way to go about this? Is there a good document or tutorial on the best means?   Thank you in advance

Why can not I edit if I go through my profile in the quick link's profile?How do I make it possible for users to change their own settings? thanks

What am I doing wrong with my quantity totals in Multilevel Reports?   For example, I have an assembly 400.asm. Within it are (4) 300.asm's, that each have (6) screws 100.prt and (1) plate 101.prt.   So the multilevel report should show (1) 400.asm, (4) 300.asm's that consist of (6) 100.prt's and (1) 101.prt's.   Instead the report shows (1) 400.asm, (4) 300.asm's, (24) 100.prt's, and (4) 101.prt's.  This will result in a magnitude increase in parts required. Specifying the (4) 300.asm's will naturally bring along (24) 100.prt's and (4) 101.prt's.   How do I get the multilevel to stop multiplying the items wty required by their owner's qty required?   TIA
