Windchill

I have a 10.1 production server that needs the rbinfo files implemented onto my 11 dev server, how would I go about doing this and is their any documentation on this?   Thanks,

We have a workflow for submitting a file to a library. As part of that workflow, once an EPMDocument is approved, we want to move it to a specific folder. There's sample code listed on the support page that (after correcting typos) doesn't work. Instead, it comes up with a "Context not found: "Windchill PDM"" error. I tried changing the folder path in place of the default "System" but that doesn't change anything.  Where should I look to next? What am I missing?    // Check if a PBO has been assigned to the process if (primaryBusinessObject !=null) { try { wt.folder.Folder f = wt.folder.FolderHelper.service.getFolder( "/System"); //move the PBO to the '/System' folder wt.folder.FolderHelper.service.changeFolder((wt.folder.FolderEntry )primaryBusinessObject, f ); } catch ( wt.util.WTException wex ) { System.out.println( "Cannot move "+ primaryBusinessObject.getDisplayIdentifier( )+"because "+ wex.getLocalizedMessage( )} } } else // if a PBO has not been assigned t

Some of our CN's have both CAD files AND documents in the Resulting Objects table.  Up until now it was easier to just create separate reports and be done with it.  One report for the CAD files and one report for the documents.  Recently, I have been trying to get a report that displays both CAD files and documents in one report but have been unsuccessful so far.   I have been playing around with several different variations using the AND and OR booleans but I just can't get it.   Does anyone know how this can be done.

Recently I created a subtype of WTParts. I have now went into the View Administration of Site and created new views hierarchy:           Manufacturing                      SupplyChain1                     SupplyChain2                     SupplyChain3   I now need to assign these views to my created subtype and then call the objects with the new views in a Product Structure.   I'm unsure of what this really means, let alone how to complete this task. What would be the best way of doing this?  

Has anyone had success Importing from PDMLink 10 to 11, and if so what attributes, policies, rules, did you need to change in order for it to work?

Is it possible to make the value in the Trace Code Column of a structure non-editable?

Environment: Windchill 11.0 M020 Windows 2012 master Windows 2008 replica server   I have a recurring problem replicating very large files to one specific replica server. When I 'Reset Undelivered Replication Items' to that site, and kick off a replication job, the job usually processes a few small files successfully, before it starts transmitting a single large file (usually over 2.5 GB). This large file will begin to replicate and make good progress for the first couple hours, but eventually all replication activity to that site stops. Sometimes the file being transferred will be moved to the current vault folder, and then into the .unreferenced folder within. I know this based on monitoring the file activity on the replica server and watching the wrmfTransport folder on the replica.Here is evidence of the same file being pushed to the replica, and winding up '.unreferenced'   When this happens, the Replication job continues to say 'Executing' and the wt.router.7.x queue

This a customization question is for an existing Test Request document which is stored in a Test Library.  I want to add an attribute called "Project" to the Test Request document.  To populate the attribute, I want to be able to search and select from all existing Projects in Project Link to populate the attribute. Is this possible, and if so, how?  

Is there a way to test your code by connecting Windchill in Eclipse?For example, in Windchill-linked Eclipse, can you test the work of retrieving or revising a version of an object and applying it as a workflow expression?   So let's connect Windchill to Eclipse. (Plugin or library?)Write the code in Eclipse and make sure it works in the console log.Apply the identified code to Windchill's workflow expressions.is that right?   Is there any reason to integrate Eclipse with Windchill?   thank

Hi all,My requirement is to create a PDF for all the Drawings that are checked-in.I've already tried Post Publish Delegate but this method creates an additional WTDocument for the PDF. However, I want the PDF to be attached as secondary content of the drawing itself instead of a new WTDocument.Is it possible to do so, please help me with a solution.Message was edited by: Akshay Saini

Does anyone have good tips and tricks for debugging a Package Delivery ZIP failure? There's not enough information in the background method server's log file to pinpoint a specific object or problem to investigate.    I have a package and related delivery I cannot ZIP in Windchill 10.1 M050. The background method server log file shows: "Nested exception is: wt.util.WTException: Delivery ZIP file could not be created. Contact your administrator if the problem persists."   I can create Packages and Deliveries w/o error, but I am encountering this ZIP failure frequently for one product context. I can successfully ZIP other deliveries in other contexts, so I'm sure the problem is related to this particular set of objects.   This particular package pulls content from multiple containers and includes CAD, Drawings, Documents, ECAD and Parts. I tried excluding items by object type, source container, special characters in the name, long names, etc. but nothing cured the pro

If Navigate server is exposed over internet and Windchill is in intranet is there any problem for accessing windchill data in navigate.

I have upgraded to CreoView 3.0m032 and now Creo will not launch to publish any files. I have cleared all of the cache files. I get a "did not find available worker" error message. Any suggestions as to what I missed?  

Every time I do a search on a specific class in partslink,  the grid of the field displayed change back to the original disposition and not save my customisation. Anyone know haw to save the grid disposition and avoid to change it every time? Beniamino

In the Description/Disposition attribute of change notice, can we restrict use of special characters.   Please guide me the steps.   Attributre to be constrained to regular expression.  

I have been encountering an issue that I cannot find any explanation for... I will send a drawing to my Workspace and check it out to make changes. After making the changes, I will regen (just in case), save the drawing, create a PDF and check the drawing it back in. Once another person opens it, some, or all of, the changes have disappeared. I have checked out and back in using all of the various ways that you can do so. I have even removed them from my workspace after check-in and added back to the workspace to ensure the changes are there. Even after verifying the changes stayed, it still reverts back sometimes. It is causing me many re-works and wasting a lot of time on the same issue over and over. HELP PLEASE!

Greetings all,  I've an interesting question.  It is more about the process, not (at this time) concerned with the customization. We are about to install Windchill 11.0 in a company that has not had it in the past.  We will connect it with SAP.    We are working out how to manage our ECN workflow.  Currently our idea is for our parts go from In Work to Under Review, then either Prototype, Pilot, or Released.  We want the Engineering work to complete on Change Tasks, then some SAP work to be done by various Implementors about the company.  Then, when those Implementation tasks are complete, we want the ECN to go to Resolved. The questionable area is between the completed Engineering work, and the final Resolution of the ECN. I'm calling this the 'in between' phase. The Engineering work is done and the parts are 'Released' yet more SAP must be completed before the ECN is really finished. The parts need to be in a state that SAP work can be don

I have created a folder in my created product. I want to set it to when a new part is created in the product, no matter where it is created, it will immediately be placed in my created folder. How would I set it to where this will happen? Do I modify the OIR of the parts that I want to be immediately placed in the folder? If so, how would I do this?

Here's a new one... WC11 M030 relatively new installation.   Have created sub-types for a number of Data Types... we can keep it to Documents for the purpose of this question.  Display Name has been set when creating in the Type and Attribute Manager Utility, but on Object Details Page the internal name {com.mycompany.objSubType} is displayed. Any clues?

In the usage of CAD integration ,When should we really use a sub type of and EPMDocument?Having a multiCAD environment is a probable valid scenario?My opinions:Basically subtyping should be used if you are going to have clear scenarios where some EPMDocuments should behave in another way, for example in case ofACL.If there is a necessity to have 2 or more different set of attributes for each type of EPMDocument to determine the behaviourthen, is this a valid case of subtyping of EPMDocument?Iam looking for valid scenarios and how only the subtyping can address the requirement?What are the pros and cons of subtyping EPMDocument - CAD ? Additional maintenance burden is probably the first one..ThanksHari Varadharajan
