I am working on a test upgrade of Windchill PDMLink 10.0 m040 to 11.0 m030. I got about 2/3 of the way through the Upgrade Manager Tasks and now I hit a failure. The task that fails is Update Container Templates and the first setp is to Start Windchill Server. I think it is failing because the HTTP service is not starting, but I can find no log files, cache files, etc, that can be used to trace the failure. I did manually start the Windchill Method Servers and then rerun the task, but that just started by stopping the MS amd then failing to restart them. Does anyone have some hints on where to look before I open a help call with PTC?

I have two CREO part models that I would like to referenced to each other. Is there a way to create a link between them in Windchill?The original part is a sheetmetal part.  The second part is designed to use the same blank with different bends.  We need to insure both models and drawings will be revised when a revision is needed to the blank.We have tried using an inheritance feature unbending the part and adding new bends, but the new bends cross old bends and CREO will not allow that.Thanks,Kevin

Hi All,   I just need to write a query to get all the available object types within a selected context.   Can you please let me know how to query the same and to which tables in Windchill should I be viewing to write that query ?   Can anyone please let me know about it ?   Thanks and Regards, Aditya

We use Creo template parts that have associated drawings. When I create & save a new part, the drawing is automatically created, so far all as expected. However rather than pull the drawing format from the formats directory, Windchill creates a ghost part for the format in the workspace. This means that for it to work properly the format must already exist in the workspace.This looks much the same behaviour as this thread: Ghost objects during replace by copyand ptc support have sent me this document: https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS5822 both of which indicate that this is expected behaviour. I find this hard to accept so I'm going to put the question out to the community whether this really is normal and whether anyone has a workable solution?Tom Uminn‌, as creator of the above thread, did you come up with a fix?Until recently our pro_format_dir was a location on our local C drives, and we never saw this issue, but since we moved them to Windchill, these

I am looking for documentation on object types.It is difficult to understand the implications of configuring policy access control rules.I think roughly the WTDocument is the basic document.To configure policy access control rules, you need to know what the object type is.So I need an explanation of what each object type is.Give me a link or document for the object type.   thank   p.s I do not need an object description like the picture below. When creating policy access control rules, as shown in the figure below, please let us know what each type controls (eg WTPart, the type that controls the permissions of the part).  

I can't seem to find anywhere a list of all the config options for WTPUB://Is there an option for Notes?Is there an option for Symbols?is there and option for Tables (.tbl) ?is there......is the.... is th.....is ......Where is the list of available options?

Using Windchill 11.0 (new upgrade). We are trying to upload new graphics into Windchill using the command "new graphic information element". A blank window pops up and nothing else. We have tried in IE(11), FireFox(55) and Chrome(61). Before the upgrade it worked perfectly. Any ideas? Browser setting perhaps?  

Hi i'm SeonHo   I think I have reached some level of access to the Windchill system by configuring a reverse proxy.Because before that I used demo.pdm / Windchill to access Windchill.To allow external access, I installed Apache http Server 2.2 on another PC and configured it by looking at https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS68466.   I am using the following command: xconfmanager -s wt.server.codebase = "$ (wt.webserver.protocol): // <reverseProxyHostName>. <ReverseProxyDomainname>: $ (wt.webserver.port) / $ (wt.webapp.name) -t codebase / wt.properties -p where <reverseProxyHostName>. <reverseProxyDomainname> is the name of the pc that made up Apache http server 2.2.I have added ProxyPass / Windchill http: //demo.pdm/Windchill ProxyPassReverse / Windchill http: //demo.pdm/Windchill to the httpd.conf of the reverse proxy http server.   Then test results show that accessing via external shared IP has access to train03 / WindchillBut this was a

Hi All,I am configuring the Custom CAD Worker following the PTC article ( https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS40919). As mentioned in the article, I have to create a command line utility or script that can take an AutoCAD DWG file as an input and create PDF as Output.Did anyone has configured the Custom AutoCAD worker? Please share the steps to configure the utility or Script. There are third party tools for conversion but I don't want to use them.Thanks,Bhagirath

Hello,We have configured a generic worker to publish files of various types. However, during testing, the system reports "..cannot produce output file xxx.out ".   Article - CS67812 was used as a guide to configure our worker. We assumed the default worker scripts found in %WT_HOME%\codebase\com\ptc\wvs\server\cadagent\scripts would include the commands needed to create these .in and .out files.Does anyone have some insight on this topic? Are there any samples of the content of a .in and .out file we can reference to update our scripts to produce the correct file?  Thanks,

I was wondering if there is a SQL table for the Attachments portion of a CN Task?  We have a bunch of links in the CN Task area that are pointing to a server name that has been changed.  It would be nice if these were stored in a table and I could just change the link from the database side.  Anyone know if this can be done?   We are on Windchill 11.   Thank you, Brian

Hi everyone,   I've been having issues with the OOTB task "View Document". Whenever I try to open a document I get the following Status Message: "Unable to Invoke Service GetDocument on DocumentAccessAppThing : Configuration error, target not includes base URL: https://[myserver]/Windchill/servlet/WindchillAuthGW/com.ptc.wvs.server.ui.UIHelper/getPartStructureED?partid=OR%3Awt.doc.WTDocument%3A228052&ncCacheCookieType=ViewablesWS&visnav=1&navcriteriaid=320326141991536014&ncCacheHostName=aa7282b2-3085-4016-bba5-efae6d75b68b&levels=-1&ncCacheSessionId=05bdfe20-2915-49fe-bf75-1a765cc1fda1&u8=1"   Also a bunch of widgets are broken as well as shown in the following image.   I tried to trace the Service that is causing this error, but can't find any "configuration" or property to solve what the Status message states. Has anybody else had an issue like mine?? Thanks in advance for any suggestion.   TWX 8.0.1 Navigate 1.5.1 Windchill 11.0 M030

As you may know, you can create a number sequence in Oracle (and MS SQL) for use with documents wuithin Windchill, applied via the Object Initialisation Rules,  This is from PTC support to set up the sequence and the settings for the OIR: -1. Log in sqlplus with Windchill schema user.2. Create Oracle sequence by running command: exec wtpk.createSequence ('<sequence_name>',<start number>,<increment value>); For example: exec wtpk.createSequence ('SEQ_test',00000001,1); 3. Download OIR file of the object, then change the sequence name with new created sequence.               <!-- set the number to a generated number -->              <AttrValue id="number" algorithm="com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.revisionControlled.server.impl.NumberGenerator">              &
