Windchill

Am I correct in saying that the only difference between setting an attribute's visibility to "Value Hidden" and "Read Only" from within "Type and Attribute Management" is that the "Value Hidden" setting sets the display of the attribute value to "(Hidden)" and the "Read Only" setting sets it to "(Unassignable)" in the form for the operation the settings were applied to?

A few months ago our VAR mentioned some changes were coming to Windchill regarding possibly licensing or products, but at the time no specific info was available.  So far this is the first information I have seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klMKVSA5Zv0 Just curious, has anyone else out there heard about this or seen info posted elsewhere ? 

(Windchill RV&S 13.2.0.3).  Currently when a user views the details of a document. The Branches tab shows documents contained in projects that the user does not have access to.  Only the ID and the some fields are shown.  This causes confusion for the user when they double-click the row and try to view the document.  We would like to request a feature to hide documents contained in projects that a user does not have access to.  

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.1.0It is necessary to confirm which versions of Windchill 12.0.X and Codebeamer 2.X are linked when establishing an OSLC connection between them.Please share the version information for OSLC connectivity between Windchill and Codebeamer so that I can refer to it for work purposes.If you could share the URL containing matrix information for this part, it would be very helpful.Please confirm and share the detailed conditions for this part.

I am in need to apply Data Utility to this column.Description: I already developed for custom MVC table but now in need to apply it on Out-Of-the-Box Table Is there any way to do that..?   Thanks

We have noticed that in our Windchill environment, some custom GET APIs have been added to WRS. By custom I mean they have names like test, deneme, etc., and in some cases, they match folder names. When we send a request to these APIs, they return the data contained within the corresponding folder in Windchill.The issue is, we don’t know who created these APIs — it seems someone did it unintentionally, and we only discovered them later.Does anyone know how this can be done, or have any documentation or examples explaining the process? This could be very useful in our development workflows.

Is there a method to configure a CAD driven BOM structure so a component (Qty 3 in CAD assembly) is listed three times as qty 1 for each occurrence so a COLOR usage attribute can be assigned to each?  

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Our use case. we have Non Prod environments DEV TEST PRODUCTION.Using BAC can we import all the business admin changes  from lower environments which are executed on DEV -> Test and later to Production?Description: as of now we are loading Business admin changes (ACLs,OIR,Workflows,Lifecycle,etc) through load commands ..need more info on usage of BAC in Production deployments .anyone using in real time ?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Using a BAC in a CCD to update document templates, workflows, enumerations, attributes, and type.Description: Is anyone else having BAC Conflict Errors when loading a CCD package with a BAC? I'm testing the CCD on a dev server with updates to document templates, workflows, enumerations, attributes, and types. The first error I receive is BAC_DOCTEMPLATE_WITH_SAME_NUMBER_EXISTS. The BAC default conflict resolution is OVERWRITE and the service.properties file was changed to use the BACConflictResolver for BAC_DOCTEMPLATE_WITH_SAME_NUMBER_EXISTS. However, we still receive the conflict error. If I remove all the document templates from the BAC, I then receive ENUM_DEF_WITH_SAME_IDENTITY_EXISTS, ORGANIZER_WITH_SAME_IDENTITY_EXISTS, BAC_TABLE_VIEW_EXISTS, TYPE_WITH_SAME_IDENTITY_EXISTS, and WORKFLOW_WITH_SAME_IDENTITY_EXISTS errors. Within the UI, overwrite isn't an option in the event monitor for conflict resolution.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: To set attribute value for a WTPartDescribeLink after creating itDescription: Hi all, I'm trying to set an attribute value for WTPartDescribeLink after creating it but If I try to set after creating it I get ModificationNotAllowed exception even when done within a transaction. The requirement is to create the link and set the attribute value without iterating. Is it mandatory to checkout the persistable before modifying the attribute value?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Creo checkins remove custom attributesDescription: I have custom attributes for my WT parts. When I check in a part from Creo, it resets these custom attributes. How do i make it so the WT part inherits the previous attribute values on checkin from Creo?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: ers are stored in the database. My goal is to retrieve or audit which users were added to specific discussion topics for traceability or automation purposes.Description: Hi,I'm working with the DiscussionTopic feature where discussions are grouped around a document or a specific object, and notifications or communications occur among users added to that topic.I was able to find the DiscussionTopic I created in the database. However, I couldn't find where the users (members) associated with this topic are stored. These are the users I manually added to the discussion, but I cannot locate their records in the database.Could someone help me understand where I can find the list of users linked to a DiscussionTopic?Thanks in advance.

Version: Windchill Below 11.0 Use Case: Our old server that was running our Windchill database and vault is being decommissioned and will not be replaced. I need to get all of the CAD files out of it for historical reference. I no longer have access to any of the Windchill installers or old laptops that had this software installed on them.Description: My issue is very similar to this post:https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Export-all-CAD-from-Windchill-database/m-p/758411/highlight/true#M65150 However, I do not see any link to download the script that appeared to do exactly what I need. Does anyone have a copy of it? Or is there another way I can get the CAD out of the old server before it dies for good? I still have access to the old server, but I do not know for how much longer I will.

Folks, Curious if anyone has ever completed a Microsoft SQL to Oracle database migration for their Windchill implementation. I know there are lots of companies who have done the reverse migration but I cannot find anyone who has gone from SQL to Oracle. I have heard rumours of PTC customers who have transitioned from SQL to Oracle, but I am struggling to find anyone who has actually done it. Anyone have any information to share?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.3I am generating a report of assigned tasks, but none of the tasks running in a sub-workflow (a workflow running inside another workflow) appear in the report. I am using the "Wf Assigned Activity" type in the report and it works for all other tasks in that workflow. The tasks in the sub-workflow are also assigned. If I use the "Wf Activity" type I can see those tasks in the report, but I get extraneous data and then can't get assigned user information that I need. Is there another relationship I need in Query Builder to get tasks in a sub-workflow?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.1In our dev environment we installed Eclipse per documentation in the customization guide. This reduced the number of MethodServers from 3 to just 1. How do we restore the other 2 method servers with eclipse still running?Here are the errors that I faced No error message. Before eclipse setup, we had 3 method servers. Post eclipse setup with the required additions in the wt.properties file we have just 1 and can't find a way to restore the other 2.

Hello, We recently started to encounter a problem with multiple entries of the same manufacturing part/assembly being automatically added/generated when using the BOM transformer. A large part of our sub assemblies and parts are standardized and also have linked standardized manufacturing parts. This means that when we create an MBOM from an EBOM which in it’s assembly structure contains some of these standardized sub-assemblies/parts the manufacturing version of these parts are automatically added inside the MBOM structure. This in itself is desirable since it saves allot of time having to manually add or create these manufacturing versions every time. However lately we have found that when generating an MBOM multiple instances of the same manufacturing parts are added which have the exact same version, name and quantity. The double entries can be removed manually but could potently lead to problems in orders if the person constructing the MBOM is not aware or payi
