Version 11, M020 We are not able to find all our users who are in Windchill. It returns results for some people using full name, users or email. For others it only find results for email. For some, we get no results.   In all cases, the users are in the same Directory Server and the same Domain Server.   Help please.

Hi all !   I'm currently develop an extract feature for my client. I have 3 use cases to make : - An export from a search - An export from a BOM - An export from a Where Used BOM   I know how to get the data from this 3 use cases, but when I got my Query result with all of my object, how can I export them on CSV file ? I can hard code a CSV helper to hand made the export, but I hope there was an API to do it !   Do you have some clue ? Thanks, BR, Berthelin Benoit

We have a problem at my company where we have a lot of family parts.  They family parts are all very similar sometimes and controlled by only a few parameters.  The problem is when multiple engineers need to create a new iteration of the family.  If  I revise parts and the drawing  to create my part and then another engineer creates a new revision over the top of my revision before I am ready to release.   Now I have a drawing which I wanted to release at revision "B", but the family table and models are at Revision "C" because someone has revised the model and I accidentally updated my workspace.  If I print the drawing it now includes the new parts in the family table and they are not mentioned in the title block because another engineer is working on revision above.  Is there a way to restrict revisions to only released parts?  I would be fine with including his part on my revision, but I want to prevent other engineers from leap-frogging

I started using my Query Builder report with Advanced search . I created a report using Part and Part Master tables to get Parent & Child report. Then used this report for Part type to get Part numbers using a particular child. example : find all Assemblies using a ROD with # 1234. This works good . Now i need to find out if there is a way to add more than one child part number example : find all Assemblies using ROD with # 1234 and Sleeve with # 5678 . Is this possible with a Query Builder Report and Advanced Search ?

After numerous attempts to rehost Windchill 10 with the Rehost Utility, I was finally able to get a working rehosted system. Still a few issues, but overall, it works.   Let me start by describing my rehost procedure. Export the Oracle DB, copy the file vaults and the Windchill loadpoint folders to a neutral location or directly to your rehost systems. In my case I had already done a clean install of Oracle of Windchill, so I had the shortcuts already on my rehost system. On the Oracle server, I used the Oracle Database Configuration Utility to delete the WIND Db instance. Deleted the <Windchill_loadpoint>\ocu and PSI folders. Run PTC Solution Installer and do a standalone configuration of the Oracle DB. Import the exported Oracle DB from the production server into the rehosted server. On the Windchill server, I deleted the root PTC folder and copied the root PTC folder from my neutral location. That is all that is required for setup for the Rehost Utility. I defined all of

Good day everyone,I would like to introduce some helpful Windchill tools.The PTC Windchill Performance Advisor Discussion Group: Performance Advisor for PTC WindchillA document outlining a patch for PTC Windchill 10.2 M020: Windchill Performance Advisor Patch Available for Windchill 10.2 M020I hope these are both helpful resources.Best,Toby

Hi all,we are trying to add some custom attributes to the ESI map file which will be gathered and added by a custom ESIWTPartRenderer's adjustPartElement() function. If we initiate a publish on a part, then everything works as expected: our custom code is called, we read out the needed data and set it as the specific attribute's value.The problem is, that if there is a link between a document and a part and I initiate the publish on the document (wan't the document, the related parts and the link in between to be published), then the part's custom renderer is not called... therefor the custom attribute won't get a value.Any ideas how to force the custom renderer to be called even in case of an indirect publishing of the part (publishing the document that has a link to the part).BR,Tamás

I am using some code in the confirmed transition for the Analyze Problem Report workflow task to auto-create the change request. It works and even links the new change request to the problem report. But it does not propagate the info from the problem report. Does anyone know how to do it?   I tried setting the preference Change Information Propagation to Selected but it appears to only work in the UI. I want to do the same thing with the code that checking the box does in the UI.

Hi all! Does anyone have the idea why a cad MCAD publisher (server controlled -proeworker.bat) fails to publish some drawings when generating thumbnails or some of the sheets? In 90% of failed jobs, it's the thumbnail that fails. I've literally tried every possible solution there is in PTC Support site: - Installed Adobe Reader on each publishing server (which are separated from Windchill servers) - Fixed Adobe Reader Protected View - Checked which version of Adobe Reader is supported for Creo View Adapters 3.1 F000 - Set the worker daemon to run in interactive mode (it was running previously as a Windows service) - Setup larger timeouts (e.g. 7200 seconds in WVS.properties and in recipe files on publisher machines) - Reinstalled Creo View Acrobat plugin - Setting the "thumbnail.generator.extents" property to false - Setup a pvsthumb worker (also in server controlled publishing mode) on the publisher machines, even though I read that Creo View Adapter is not using pvsthumb worker for p

Hello all,   I need to have a list report with a document subtype, which will include fro each document the date that changed a state in its lifecycle. For example: Doc Name | Creator | Under Review (Date) | In Progress (Date) | Completed (Date) |   Can i get this info from the subtype table or do i need to make a join as well?   Thank you in advance Regards John

Here is the situation: A user, Bob, creates a Change Request (and thus is the Change Request Author). The CR is approved and a CN is created. The CN Implementation Plan has a Change Activity that needs to be assigned to the Change Request Author, Bob in this case. How can I get the Change Request Author to automatically be the assignee for this Change Activity?   I know that I need a new CA soft type. (Currently I use soft types of Change Activities combined with Product Context Team Roles to automatically assign users or groups to Change Activities based on the Context of the change. But in this case, the Change Request Author is not based on the Context Team and could be anyone in the system with permission to create a CR in any context.) I thought I had everything set up correctly to assign to the Change Request Author, but every time I test it I get an "unresolved role" error from Windchill.   I feel like I am missing something minor in how roles are establ

We have some files that we want to restrict the viewing of the file itself to a group of users, but allow the folder entry, document title, to be seen by all. Is this possible with ACL rights on the folder or do I need to go one step further into Security Labels on the fodler contents?

Hello Guys,I have a requirement where I want to export a long list assemblies from windchill to local computer.Steps I follow,- Search for assembly number,- Add to workspace,- Export from workspace to local drive,As you can see, this way is not feisable for a list of assemblies.So, i want to export the whole set of data (CAD files) from Windchill at once.Is this possible?If I understand right, we cannot get the dump from Windchill server as the files are encrypted (Not sure).Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!Rajesh Jaganatha

Hello! We would like some help with our plans to upgrade our Windchill 10.2 M010 to 11.  This is our first upgrade so we'd truly be thankful for any insight that anyone can provide to us. Our existing Windchill 10.2 M010 server is running Windows 2012 w/ SQL 2012 (as a VM on Hyper-V). Our goals include:   Create pilot server so that we can test out Windchill 11 before going live. The pilot server ideally would be running Windows 2012 R2 or Windows 2016. The pilot server would be running SQL 2014 or SQL 2016 (whatever version which has bundled licensing with Windchill). The pilot server would use the existing Windchill license (re-licensed for a new MAC) while the existing Windchill 10.2 server uses the original license.  The goal is to have a temporary server to test the Windchill 11 server not a permanent testing platform. At the point that the testing has been completed the pilot server would be refreshed with the current data from the Windchill 10.2 product

Windchill PDMLink 11. M020 This is only a problem with Internet Explorere. View works fine in Chrome.   I checked Article - CS218340. All as expected. Any idea what it could be?  

We currently run Creo 3 (M070) with Windchill, and Solidworks 2014 through 2017 with the WGM (10.2 M030-CPS22).   We've run into a couple of different issues, which seems to be addressed with purging of the WGM cache.  Occasionally, workspaces appear as inactive and will not activate, or when switching in between Solidworks applications, the registration fails.  In both cases, purging of the cache seems to address the issues.  Unfortunately, this occurs with such frequency for some users, that we are contemplating using a custom script to perform the actions required to get users back up and running. We have 7 users that run multiple versions of Solidworks as well as Creo 3, and 6 users that are just using Creo 3. We're a consulting firm, so we are routinely switching CAD packages to adhere to our customers native format.    I know users aren't dillegent in routinely deleting and re-creating their local workspaces, and they do become corrupt over time, but

Actually I was having SQL DB Backup and dosen't have LDAP and Vault Backup. I have restore SQL Backup with Fresh Installation and now I was able to login through windchill. I can able to see my previous data but unable to download or open it...   So my query is Only the metadata will get saved in DB or it will also have a copy of our data that we have in Vaults.

Hi Friends, "Finish cannot be before start{0}" was found while trying to complete some activity in Projectlink. I have ugraded the CPS from CPS05 to CPS24. After this update, I am facing such issue. Before CPS upgrade i dont find such issues.   This error was occuring randomly for activities in the Project plan.For example, Sometimes It will be for 10th activity sometimes it will be occur for 25th activity.We dont able to tell which activity will face this issue.   And one more information that we are doing all projects in auto execution mode, If i start the plan today, It will take actual start date for all successive completing plans correctly. But some random activity(as said before) it will take actual start date on its own. This is the reason the error is showing.   Kindly suggest if any one knows solution for this

I have a windchill .prt file that defines a standard cutting tool. I'd like to make a hyperlink available to the people searching this tool in Windchill to be able to click on the attribute disaplyed in their search results and take you right to the website.Is there a place in Windchill I can put this hyperlink? The link works great in a drawing/part note but I want it available in the Windchill search results.Thoughts? Thank you very much in advance.

Good afternoon everyone, I was thinking about the legal validity of the supplier declaration in XML format in WPA. For instance, if I receive back from a supplier a XML file containing the environmental compliance of a certain article, then this file has a legal value against a request from control authorities or is it required something more about? Is the received e-mail with the XML file sufficient?   Please let me know asap.   Thank you,   Luca Moresco
