Windchill

I have a workflow task which is assigned to a WTGroup. When the task is alive, users get added and removed to the group. The workflow tasks which are alive does not reflect any changes made to the group, I tried modifying the wf team and it works only for new tasks not the already existing ones, reassignment through API works but this is not a reassignment so I do not want to use that option. Any thoughts on an API which I can do to refresh the existing tasks? Thanks in Advance.   

So I am going through the new setup for Solr in my test upgrade environment and have gotten stuck with the step where it says to generate a password in encrypted format.  A few questions on it. Am I supposed to use the same user name and password that I created during the install process? I am getting the following error: 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. - I had to install java to get to this point and I am guessing it knows where it is.

I have a Document sub-type called "Reference_Document" sub typed from WTDocument and i'm trying to hide the attachments step in creation wizard every time a user attempts to create a Reference Document. I tried modifying the Attachment-actions.xml and included hidden=true in the action name which hides the attachment tab for all document types.   Is there a way i can do this so that attachments step only for the Reference_Document  will be hidden?

We have a requirement from a customer to federate data from our Windchill system to theirs. We have implemented some of their requirements, but now need to implement some additional transactions. Right now we don't have the bandwith to staff this internal and are looking for possible resources, companies, that could help us staff this need.Please email me directly @ -if you have this expertise, or if you've had similar work done for you and could recommend a partner for us to work with.Thanks,Steve D.

Hello,   In defining a new workflow for a specific type of Variance, I need to set a conditional connector based on the Recurring attribute (being True (1) or False (0)).   The two questions I have are:   1) What would be suggested as the variable definition to bring in the Recurring attribute?   2) What would the Routing Expression for this be?  I would like the result for the routing events to be “CN” or “NO_CN”.   I am new to building workflows and appreciate examples that others would be willing to share.   Kelly

In the past, I was successful at using the Import/Export manager to take a library from one instances to another. It moved the latest iteration to the other system very well. There were limitations.  I could potentially see the movement of a Product area from one instance to another.  This product area includes change objects with workflows and discussion.  In addition, there is multiple versions, views, branchpoints and history that is there.  It can get very complex, very fast. Let's assume that library data and documents are in sync that are outside of this Product context and exist in both systems.  Can this be done?   My goal is to shift some Products to this new environment without having to lose all the historical records behind it.  Everytime I've seen projects like this done, they always seems to take latest or line in sand and throw away the history.  What's even worse, I might have to shift them back again in the future (merge). 

Hello,I have a requirement that I need to fetch all the subtypes of the Project type.can you please let me know the available API for this?Thanks in advance.Best Regards,John

I have installed creo view 4.1 on my pc, now I want to shared that installation on other pc's as a worldwide executable, I want something similar like a silent installation of creo 3 parametric. I want something to detect if creo view 4.1 is installed or not, then if not, an executable to install it. I know creo 3 parametric uses an xml to install. Any advice or examples will be great.   Creo View 4.1 is necessary to open up thumbnails in Windchill 11.

I created a new attribute for one object type in Windchill and then added an enumerated value list constraint to it with two values.   Modifying this object in Windchill now gives me the option to leave this property undefined (unset) or select one of the two list values. Selecting either of the values works fine, and switching between the values works fine, but I can't figure out how to go back to blank (undefined).  Even though there is a blank value displayed, attempting to return to pick it (after having previously selected a different value) is not being permitted.  Windchill just throws an error:   Is there any way around this?  I don't really want an extra "None" entry in my list because "None" and undefined are not the same thing and won't return the same results in a search.

I'm trying to do a "Synchronize On: Object Event" .

Hello to all, I'm installing windchill 11 on a machine but the db is on another server. During the PSI error: The directory that you selected for ORACLE_HOME does not exist or is invalid. My directory is: E: \ app \ oracle \ product \ 12.1.0 \ client_1 I have configured client oracles pointing to the oracle on the DB machine and relaunched the PSI installation but I still have the same error. I do not understand where I'm wrong and how to fix it. Can someone help me? Thanks Davide

Hello All,   Is anyone out there using Windchill to track or run a New Product Development Phase Gate (Tollgate) process and if so are you using ProjectLink or PDMLink a combination of both or something else?   Looking forward to your replies.   Thank you. Thom

Ref Help Topic:Setting the Disposition of Affected Objects.We haven't yet but are planning on adding some custom Dispositions. Having a bit of trouble with the documentation. Can get one to display and work but when adding a second, the first is removed. Wondering if anyone has done this and might have a "Cheat Sheet" on it.

I recently gave a presentation to my local CT user group. Getting to love PowerPoint 2010 and the narration feature. I was able to turn that presentation into a video. Link to Video This details the project where we removed and reduced large family table models from our system. I have also uploaded the procedure that we followed to tackle this. Removing Instances from Family Tables in PDMLink.doc Hope you find this as useful as I have. This is a follow up to a blog I (re)posted last June Friday, Put your PDMLink (or IntraLink) system on a diet.

Hello Windchill UsersI wanted to inform Windchill users that there is a Change Management Tutorial that I written on the below webpage. The tutorial explains the Windchill out-of-the-box functionality with screen shots that displays each step of the process with the Change Management basic workflow. Select on a blue box and you will see a pop up window showing the steps. I hope this helps. http://www.felcosolutions.com/cm2process.htmlThe web site also has some other information that explains the CAD Workspace interaction with Windchill and a common Glossary of the Windchill terms. The URL links are below.http://www.felcosolutions.com/workspace.htmlhttp://www.felcosolutions.com/glossary.htmlI hope this helps some of you and you can pass this information on to others too.Thanks and have a nice day!

I'm currently on Windchill 10.2 with SQL Server 2008.  My goal is to get to Windchill 11.0 with SQL Server 2014 or 2016.   My question is, how do I upgrade the databse, either before I do the Windchill upgrade or during the Windchill upgrade?  The problem I am having is that when I go to import my backup from 2008 to either 2012 or 2014, it will not show as a viable choice to be chosen during a restore.  I know that I have to be missing something simple.   Thank you, Brian
