Windchill

I'm nearing the end of a revision to our Change Management workflow and I'd like to remove the 'Comments' text field from the various assigned activities in both the Change Notice and the Change Activities.   I've poked around a bit but can't locate any information on how to remove that.   Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Has anyone installed Creo View Lite 4.x?  Every version 1 through 3.1 has taken a long time to open.  At least at the company I am at.   I installed version 4.0 on one of my users computer and the speed has increase substantially.  But it's interesting that we are still on PDMLink 10.1 M050 and it's not certified or even supported to work together.   Has anyone else noticed a speed increase in opening Creo View 4.x vs. previous versions?

I haved 2 representation for drawings (.DWG & .PDF) in Windchill 11.When I click on Windchill icon, it opens PDF in Creo View. How do I configure to open DWG? Thanks.

While using "Save a copy" for my assembly, I managed to capture/rename and save the drawing and all the lower assemblies and parts with the new part number, but the system delete my family tables. In other words, it saves the instances as standalone parts. Is there anything in config that I need to address to capture the family tables as well? All suggestions are welcomed. Thanks, Diane Config option that have helped, (thinking there is someting I am missing in this process.) rename_drawings_with_objects

Dear Experts,   I have a situation where new design requirements needs a change in available standard library objects from Windchill. This brought us to situation to save as of standard parts and modify for new requirement , but then the new part is not standardised nor classified, causing duplicate creation of the objects. Advice some best solutions you have been following to address such cases.We have too many duplicates created for the part with same geometry.   Thanks Murthi

Good Morning, I am looking for some (a lot of) help. I have a CR workflow that I need to lock down (Set to UNDERREVIEW)  any Affected Data that is "INWORK" state but do nothing if it is not. As I have a rework loop, I need to opposite. Anything that is "UNDERREVIEW" to INWORK else nothing.   Cheers.   Requirement. If primaryBusinessObject = INWORK then set sate UNDERREVIEW, else do nothing. wt.change2.WTChangeRequest2 eCR = (wt.change2.WTChangeRequest2) primaryBusinessObject; String state =

Hi All, Today I tried to rename the rehost utility in a windchill 10.2. After launching the bat and after configuring the file rehost.propeties I return the following error:   BUILD FAILED C:\ptc\conf\rehost.xml:103: com.ptc.wc.rehost.exception.RehostException: java.sql.SQLRecoverableException: IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection Nested exception is: java.sql.SQLRecoverableException: IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection     at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CConnection.logon(T4CConnection.java:489)     at oracle.jdbc.driver.PhysicalConnection.<init>(PhysicalConnection.java:553)     at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CConnection.<init>(T4CConnection.java:254)     at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CDriverExtension.getConnection(T4CDriverExtension.java:32)     at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.connect(OracleDriver.java:528)     at java.sql.DriverManager.get

Hi,   We are trying to implement split DNS-reverse proxy setup with Windchill 11 M020 clustered solution but it's not working for external users through DMZ, receiving "service unvailable" error for Windchill page. This works perfectly fine from inside our network.   Seems like there are some changes implemeted with new Apache/Tomcat that comes with Windchill 11 that could be case but not sure exactly what.   The exact setup worked with Windchill 10.1 M050.    Please share If anyone has implemented this with Windchill 11 OR any thoughts/suggestions on this will be really helpful.   Regards, Rajiv

Am in need of, 1. Create a Single level BOM of any WTPart and export it as PDF format 2. Create a WTDocument using above PDF file as primary content 3. Associate WTDocument to WTPart (mentioned in Step 1)   Step 2 and 3 are quite straight forward. But in Step 1, how to do I get PDF content stream at run time or how it would be downloaded particular location in server.   Note : All above 3 steps will be executed as process of WTPart work flow...

I found CS96881 which states you are not able to pass the context ID as an input parameter like you could in 9.1. Bummer since this allowed you to create reports and run them from within a product area and it only showed data from that contact.  Is this possible in any other way? I would accept a context lookup field like the "Change Notice Log" report. Something that users can run that autoselects the contex that they are in by default and runs with that as a condition. 

In removing Windchill Bulk Migrator 2.2, on a Windchill 10.1 M040 system, the method servers wouldn't start after performing all steps listed in the Uninstall guide and CS218083. Review of the logs indicated additional failures relating to MigrationSourceSite, of which I recognized those values from the descendentRegistry.properties and modelRegistry.properties files. Removal of these values allowed the MethodServers, foreground and background, to start. Maybe add the following steps to the support ticket?   From descendentRegistry.properties, also remove: fc.WTObject=com.ptc.windchill.migration.wbm.fc.MigrationSourceSite From modelRegistry.properties, also remove:  com.ptc.windchill.migration.wbm.fc=MigrationSourceSite  

Greetings, We are on V11, M020. My Doc Control group is able to modify the Members on the Change Team on a Change Notice but I do not see the same ability on a Variance.   Anyone know how to provide that ability.  

I'm in the process of importing a large number of manufacturers and manufacturer parts to Windchill, and am using LoadFromFile. There were some problems when I initially loaded the organizations and suppliers into our development system, so I foolishly thought I could easily wipe out that data and try it again to correct those problems. That was not the case. I deleted all the suppliers and then deleted the organizations using the participant administrator (removed from cache and then deleted from Windchill and Windchill Directory Server). Somehow, there's still one organization hanging around somewhere, and I can't figure out where or how to completely get rid of it. I was able to load all the other organizations again without a problem, but I keep getting this error for one organization:   createWTOrganization: wt.pom.UniquenessException: A datastore uniqueness constraint violation has occurred on the following objects.Remote Object Info - RemoteObjectInfo:      D

So we figured out how to remove the Default Change Activity because we create our own from various types and create the Change Name. In 9.1 we had this removed, and if we started the change notice from the object, it would still populate in our new change task on the affected objects.  Where do I edit to get the object to populate on the affected objects table in 11.0 after removing the default change task?Also I noticed the order of the Change Task subject is displayed different.  We prefer the Change Name, Type, Number rather than Type, Number, and Name in the subject.  Is there a preference setting to switch this back?Thanks.

I am working on defining the requirements for an onsite collector for Creo Performance Advisor.   So Far I have  Enable every user to connect to an onsite collector enabling only one connection back to PTC Enable the ability to not show UUID for internal gadgets Provide control over what data is sent to PTC - aka allow administrators to send  minimal information I am saying the minimal information sent to PTC will be as follows  PRODUCT DATA     SCN    Release    MOR    Date Code    License Name    Graphics Mode    Locale    License Type  PROCESSING      XML_NAME    Date    Time    UUID  USER INFO     Host Name    User Name    Domain Name  SOFTWARE INFO   DISK(S)   APPLICATION      Default Browser name / vendor / version&nbsp

In Windchill 10.2 the Subject (PBO) is above the Instructions section.  In Windchill 11.0 the Subject (PBO) is below the deadline.  We would like to move it back up to above the Instructions.   I'm trying to figure out  what is controlling the configuation.  Our workflow tasks are set to use JPS (Default).  I have found another post indicated that if the workflow task activity is set to use JPS the Task Info Page Layout from the Work Item object in the Type and Attribute Management is used.  When I look at the Task Info Page Layout, the Subject is in the correct locations.  I have also looked at the Task From Templates (default JSP), but I don't have an JSP editor to test moving the Subject (PBO).  I have also opened a call with PTC, but they told me I would have to talk to the customization team.  I have attached some screen shots.  

So, I have a couple of baselines of a CAD Doc structure that were taken just prior new revisions of many objects being created (new revs were created the same day, about two hours after the baselines were created). When going back and looking at the baseline after, the baselines are showing the new versions of the revised CAD Docs.   Anyone familiar with baselines care to guess what we might have done wrong?  

Anyone know how to generate this report?I want to know in what contexts and under what roles a group is used?Would like to have the same report given a user's name?

Hello all,    I am trying to write a code that can open an EPM Document in CREO through Windchill Workgroup Manager so that I can download the file with proper links because contentwriter is removing leading zeroes from the .prt number , due to which the links with the drawing are not coming properly and I am not able to open the downloaded .prt file in CREO .If anyone has faced this issue can he/she tell me the solution .

We are preparing the way to implement Windchill and Creo 2.0 in our business but I (possibly we) are struggling to understand the best way to proceed ref autonumbering.We've been storing cad models and corresponding drawing files with the same filename (less extension obviously) so that doing a "Save as" in creo creates a new model and drawing pair (given appropriate config.pro settings). With autonumber turned on in windchill doing a "save as" in windchill on a drawing and model pair creates a drawing and model with different numbers albeit they are dependant objects. The filenames we'd set to be the same as the numbers and so are also different.If a "save as" is done in Creo 2 with the same model and drawing pair where the drawing and model have different autocreated "numbers" creo doesn't treat the files as a pair i.e. we've lost a chunk of the "save as" functionality within Creo 2.0 .This is making it feel like autonumber in windchill and "Save as" in creo are incompatible if we're

I'm working on my first test upgrade from Windchill 10.2 to 11.0.  We use SQL Server as our database.  I'm on the Update Database Schema phase and task.  I have a question about that how much drive space do I need for the SQL tempdb.  Do I need to have as much room as the size of the database?  I have the drive at about half the size and it filled up that drive to 99.9% and after that happened the CPU spiked and so did the RAM.

Hi I have a problem that is pending for 2 weeks now, and I can't find the cause of it. I have a call to a method inside a java expression that looks like this;  The method executes and I see results in the bg method server but when the method terminates it gives next error; I am sure I am returning a String. obsResult is defined as a Java string in the properties of the Approval process. What can be the cause of this error, please help ?  

Hi Everyone,   I need to get the container name in th format of string in my OIR to set some custom attribute. The attribute "containerReference" does not exactly equal to the container name as we use wtContainerRef.getName(); to get this.   Can any one tell how to get this?   <AttrValue id="view.id"> <Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.BooleanBranch"> <Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.StringEqualsTest"> <Attr id="containerReference"/> <Arg>Test Product</Arg> </Value> <Arg>YES</Arg> <Arg>NO</Arg> </Value> </AttrValue>

We changed the lifecycle of objects through New Promotional Requests.Initially, the new promotional request went smoothly.If you made the second upgrade request, access was denied and access denied.Requests for new promotions with the product manager will work smoothly.Why is not a member requesting a second promotion?

I am working on an upgrade from Windchill10.0 mo40 running on Oracle 11g I would like to upgrade to Windchill 11.0 m030 running on Oracle 12c.   Do I need to do anyjthing special to do this or will the Upgrade Manager handle all of the updates to Windchill and the Oracle schema?
