Windchill

I have requirement to search object using queryspec which can have number with leading zero(to make it 8 digit length) or without leading zeros.e.g. I am to search object number 66, query should be able to find object 66, 066, 0066 etc. I got regular expression to search( ^0*66$ ) need to know how to use in queryspec.

Hello all, I want to validate a specific IBA on Change Request creation. This IBA is multi-valued and has enumerated values, let's say A, B, C, and D. So, when the user selects A and B both at a time, it should give an error. All other combinations should work fine except this A and B both together... I have written a JS function and placed it in create.jsp of the change request and tried to call this in my custom action file using action as a wizard step, something like below... <objecttype name="changeRequest" class="wt.change2.WTChangeRequest2" resourceBundle="com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.change2.changeManagementActionsRB">      <action name="defineItemAttributesWizStep" afterJS="validateMyAttr" id="defineItemAttributesWizStep" preloadWizardPage="false" required="true" resourceBundle="com.ptc.core.ui.componentRB">          <command windowType="wizard_step" /> </action> </objecttype>&n

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.2Is there a report/qml/sql script to get the list of the licenses consumed both named& daily basis.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.2We are operating in WINDCHILL as as SIMO multi-organization structure and would like to understand whether Windchill imposes any limitations on the number of containers(Create Container- fixed limit)—such as Products, Projects, or Libraries—that can be created and managed within a single instance. Are there any performance issues in future.?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: We have 2 subtypes of epmdocument called TypeA_generic & TypeB_instance under EPMDocument(Parent). Scenario - User creates a Family table objects , 1. If it is a generic then set the sub type of epmdocument as TypeA_generic & create corresponding wtpart subtype2. If it is a instance then set the sub type of epmdocument as TypeB_instance & create corresponding wtpart subtypeReason we have 2 subtypes is each has a different set of attributes /business logic & also have huge set of existing data in this format from a different plm software.Description: Approach 1: Using UPLOAD_SOFT_TYPE. But the problem is I need to enter these details every time when I add a instance (row). (there are possibilities that user might miss adding this param or provide wrong value by mistake) Approach 2: Using EPMDefaultSoftType.xml - using that I can set the subtype. but it allows only to identify epmdoc based on auth app (CREO)& then using

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: How many company using ProjectLink to manage projects? Can you give some cases ?Description: How many company using ProjectLink to manage projects?Can you give some cases ?I am going to use ProjectLink but concerns issues happen after.So any cases like big company to use this ProjectLink ?Thank you !

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: We're looking into using Options and Variants in Windchill for managing our product configurations. All of the documentation I've read points to configurable products in Creo as the modeling mechanism. NX has similar functionality with PTS. Has anyone here gone the route of setting up Options with NX? Description: We're using NX for CAD and are looking at Options as a means of managing configurations for products. I don't see documentation on how Options would work from a modeling standpoint with NX (in Creo, configurable parts are used). Has anyone gone down this path? 

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: In our design environment using NX + Windchill, we have components such as motors, bearings, and linear guides that are modeled as assemblies in CAD (CAD-BOM). However, in the EBOM, these are treated as purchased single parts that are procured as complete units from suppliers. For example, a linear guide assembly might consist of a rail, carriage, and screws in CAD, but in EBOM, it should appear as a single purchased item with one WTPart number.Description: We would like to know how other companies manage or represent this kind of data —assemblies in CAD that can reasonably be treated as single parts in EBOM (such as purchased assemblies or supplier-provided modules).How do other organizations express or manage these cases in their EBOM structure?Does PTC have any recommended or standard method for handling such data?Are there best practices for linking a CAD assembly to a single WTPart (purchased part),or configuration options to collapse the CAD

Hi,  I am in a same situation as this topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/How-to-Deal-with-Password-Protected-Excel-Documents-During/m-p/966639#M81742  where Windchill is not detecting password protected  and macro enabled office files where Windchill takes load and delay the process and then Publisher Failed the files. I saw you posted the Solution. Can you please give some more detail and how you implemented this solution. Did you configure some setting in Visualization Configuration Administration or WVS scheduler administration? Did you run some customer script to do this job. My aim is Windchill detect those file and through some kind of error so User know that the file is not appropriate etc. Regards Khalid Shamim Windchill 13.0.2 User.

Hi Community  I am wondering if we have PSM alternative introduced after PSM using pure path technology and build on java platform to monitor the windchill server performance, can I use the last PSM version released by PTC on Windchill 13x or 12x system.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: I am looking for a solution to prevent the check in of ModelCheck (MC) validated data having MC_ERRORS = 0 if attributes are modified e.g. in the workspace after MC was executed.Description: Here is an example:1) configure MC Gate Keeper and do not allow data to be checked if MC_ERROR > 02) We've defined a simple MC configured to run on each save. So we are sure, that MC was run when last modified.3) MC e.g. evaluates certain attribute values and will mark it as error, if validation fails. Now the user does the following:1) Saves a CAD file with ATTRIBUTE = "X" (this is a valid for MC) => ATTRIBUTE = "X" and MC_ERROR = 02) User changes ATTRIBUTE = "X" to "Y" in the Workspace ("Y" would be an invalid values for MC) => ATTRIBUTE = "Y" and MC_ERROR = 0 (remains unchanged)3) User checks in the cad file and the gatekeeper does not prevent the check in as MC_ERROR still equals 0 !How can this be prevented without programming a trigger?&nbs

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I am using two groups within the context of a product in my Windchill instance. One group is a member of the "Members" role and one group is a member of the "Designer" role. None of these roles have the "Rename" action enabled in the "Configure Actions for Roles" table.Description: Both groups are able to see an option for "Rename" in the "Actions" menu of a part instance contained within my product. Both groups are members of a license profile which provides the "Rename" action to them. However, according to https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS110240?source=search , "Configure Actions for Roles setting will override Profile setting". The groups I have referred to are not assigned to any other role which has the "Rename" action enabled. Can anybody explain why users in these groups may be able to see the "Rename" option?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.7Our designers assign colours to their models in Catia to make orientation easier in Catia as well as Creo View.Sadly, the colours do not get through to Creo View representations although "Use Face colours" is ticked in the corresponding rcp file.Can someone advise, please?Here are the errors that I facedNo error message, worker doesn't throw any error it just ignores the colours

Currently, when a part is used multiple times in a Creo assembly, the systems handle quantities inconsistently:EPM Document Structure: Shows multiple occurrences of the same part, each with quantity 1WTPart Structure: Correctly consolidates into a single occurrence with total quantityThis inconsistency causes confusion in our processes. We need both structures to follow the same consolidated quantity approach as the WTPart structure.How can I configure the system so that EPM documents automatically consolidate multiple instances of the same part into a single occurrence with total quantity, matching the default WTPart structure behavior?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Unable to delete latest iteration of CAD documents and WTPart when WTPart has a Content association to a CAD document in Windchill 13.0.2.Description: A few weeks ago, I opened a support case with PTC for an issue where we cannot delete the latest iterations of CAD documents and WTPart when the WTPart has a Content association to one or more of the CAD documents.  The case was closed as "works to product specification for Windchill PDMLink" (related article: Article - CS456009 - Unable to delete latest iteration of CAD Document due to referential integrity error in Windchill PDMLink). Here's a scenario:Check in Creo model (asm or prt) and drawing, generating WTPart either during checkin or afterward, or use existing objects.WTPart is associated to Creo model as Owner and associated to Creo drawing as Content.  All objects are version A.1.Check out the model and drawing in Creo workspace, open (or modify otherwise), save, check

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: As a design engineer working with Creo Parametric and Windchill, I manage assemblies derived from multi-body skeleton models. When a new iteration of the skeleton is created, I need to identify which bodies have changed to selectively update only the affected components in the associated assembly. To achieve this, I compare two iterations of the same skeleton model using Windchill's Content Compare functionality. This allows me to generate a Model Comparison Report in Creo Parametric, which highlights changes in geometry, metadata, and drawing elements. Based on this report, I can determine which bodies have been modified and replace only those parts in the assembly, ensuring efficient and targeted updates without disrupting the entire structure.Description: In Creo Parametric, a multi-body skeleton model is used to derive an assembly. In a subsequent design iteration, the skeleton is modified. The objective is to replace only those components in

Curious if anyone else is experiencing issues with Password Protected Office documents while using the Creo View Adapters Office Worker? I understand documents with passwords are not supported, but when they show up, they block the publishing queue and prevent all other jobs from being processed until someone connects to the Office Worker machine and picks Cancel from the Office prompt. Maybe someone has a better idea on how to kill these stuck publishing jobs?   Is there a better way to manage these files in Windchill to support a more efficient publishing process?   We have been talking about creating a new document type or adding a new attribute to a document type so we have a hook we can catch in the publishing rules. Seems like a good plan, but it would be dependent on the document authors either picking the right document type or choosing the appropriate value for an attribute. 

Does Windchill supports SFTP to transfer files ? Do we need the external jars to enable SFTP in windchill ?

Thinking ahead to a multi-site, multiple SAP plant configuration which might be possible in the future. I am currently using the ERP connector and we have a custom integration on the SAP side to read in the ERP Connector output files. Obviously, the concept of a Plant comes with the use of a SAP type distribution target which from what I gather requires the fully licensed ESI package. I have only 1 target right now so very simple to Send to DT and away it goes. SAP has been configured to accept information and load to only 1 plant that we default to.  If we bring in another site, they will likely have a different SAP plant and I would want their data to go to their plant. Ideally, our data would be separated in difference product contexts but I do not see options in configuration to have it map a default Distribution Target by Product Context. It seems to be restricted to the Site and Org level. So how is the mapping done? If I was using SAP ESI DT, do I have to publish to all pla
