Windchill

Is there any way to automatically update out of date objects in a Windchill Project? For our use case, it would help if there would be an option to update Projects automatically when objects are modified PDMLink. The only two options I know about are manual or scheduled updates (which I believe is new in Windchill 11). We're currently on Windchill 10.1 but are migrating to Windchill 11 soon.     An option on the PDMLink Check In and Revise screens could also help.     Or have the ability to update in Project Objects from Project Workspaces?    

Does anyone know if there is a way to grant access to users to allow them to create, edit, update effecitivity? What is the object in the ACL? Out of the box it is the Product and Library manager.Thanks for your help!Jen

Hi. I want use non persistable class to wrap data for table row in ComponentBuilder. But i get the exception: Error while adding component data java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ptc.core.components.beans.DataUtilityBean.getRowOid(DataUtilityBean.java:610) at com.ptc.core.components.beans.DataUtilityBean.doFirstPass(DataUtilityBean.java:584) at com.ptc.core.components.command.delegate.ModelCommandDelegate.execute(ModelCommandDelegate.java:182) What should i do? Is it possible use custom class for this purpose? I can't find any code example in Help Center/Customization guide. Thanks.

I need to validate 'SETSTATE' action after clicking on 'OK' button. Can someone tell me how to invoke or customize OOTB 'OK' button in SETSTATE action page?

Little help with this please. Anyone know why a given Role (in this case Change Administrator) is able to modify the CR team in all the Product containers except one and not any Library? I have all my access Policy controls set at Org level including Team object (Ready, Modify). The Actions per role on the team page are also the same for each location?  

I am working through a cloning rehost to get a 10.0 m040 system that I can do test work on.I installed Oracle on its machine and run the PTC Setup for Oracle.Installed Windchill on its machine.OOTB Windchill can be started.Did a drop user PDM and Create_user PDM on the Oracle machineImported the Oracle dump from my production machine.Imported the LDIF backup from production.Ran the rehost utility with I think proper settings.I can start the Windchill DS.Windchill method servers start and die immediately.Error message is: Failure to start manager wt.audit.Standard.Audit.ServiceCould not initialize Auditing service.Nested exceptionis: wt.util.wtexception: (wt.federation.PrincipalManager.PrincipalManagerResourse/CONFIG_ERROR_INCORRECT_NAMING_Provider) com.infoengine.util.IEException: Info*Engine configuration error - The default Directory Service Provider URL and/or Service Search Base could not be retrieved from Info*Engine properties.

Hi All,I am able to create Custom app on the PTC Navigate landing page, but the app is only available for Administrator. I am not able to find the Edit Icon for the Custom apps to Tailor for the Users. Can any one help me in bringing the Edit Icon for Custom app? Is their any documentation available to bring the Edit Icon and Tailoring Mashup that helps to Tailor app for the User Groups as functionality available for default Navigate Apps?

I have been tasked with installing CATIA CAA RADE V5-6R2016 SP3 on a client's machine. I've installed VS (Visual Studio) 2008 SP1 and VS 2012 Update 4 with hotfixes, as suggested in Dassault Systemes' (publisher of CATIA) program directory:   But, I am unable to integrate RADE into Visual Studio. Could it have anything to do with the parenthetical statements in the second column: "CRT and MFC Redistributables are delivered with V5 media..."? What are CRT and MFC distributables? I couldn't find anything on Google.   I come to your aid because I found a post in PTC Technical support categorized under Windchill that matches my current dilemma almost exactly:   https://support.ptc.com/apps/solution_preview/solution/lang/presolution?lang=en&n=CS233381   Could anyone who can access PTC Technical Support/eSupport tell me what PTC support's answer was to solve the issue?   Thank you.

Hopefully the below will make sense.    Problem When a design is started the CAD object (EPMdoc) is given a sketch number (SK) and initially checked in at revision 0.0 at WIP release level (state) and a COGpart (wtdocument) is automatically created. While the design progresses, it is checked in and the iteration is increased.   When the design is ready to be sent outside of the business, the revision is set to A.0 and set state is used to change the state to PROTOTYPE.   Revise is used to change the state back to WIP (revision B) so changes can be made. When the design is ready for release to Manufacturing it is renamed to a Made Part (MP) number. Set state is used to change the state to WIP for RELEASE and revise is used to change to revision 1.0 (Prototype parts have alphabetical revisions and Production parts have numeric revisions and the WIP for Release state is used to change from alpha to numerical revision sequences).      Part no.

Hi there,   we have some solids in our PDM, which are already "released". My collegues want to create some drawings for those solids. Unfortunately, Creo asks the users in some cases for "check-out" of the solids, when the user wants to display a section in the new drawing. It seems, that only "offset-" sections are affected.   Is this a regular behaviour of Creo? Is there another workaround except locking the solid within the workspace?   Thanks   /me

I have a question, not really a support request, but more for my understanding. We have been sending data to Windchill Performance Advisor in total 195 uploads, and we have also received and implemented several Recommendations on our windchill setup all based upon recommendations received via the Perforamnce Advisor. Really nice tool! But now last week I started receiving mails from proactive support, also containing recommendations. But no new recommendations in the performance advisor! I have a subscription for proactive support: But I would prefer to have the recommendation in Performance advisor to have the complete overview. Why have I started receiving recommendation on mail and not in the perforamnce advisor? Can I change my settings so that I receive the recommendation onward in the Perforamnce advisor? Also when I apply the filter in Perforamnce advisor to see recommendations for our test server is the 2 recommendations show, but the counter on the front page does not show

Is there any API to get associated Change request of Problem report ?

One of the biggest disconnects I have observed is in how parts are added to our system.  In an ideal world, engineers would pull from existing inventory or reuse parts we have previously sourced and like would be grand.  Supply chain would ensure that parts arrived when needed and they negotiated the best price for them. Even better, that there were multiple sources of supply giving them the flexibility to choose different distributors without having to alter engineering BOMs.   In practice, it rarely works like this. Maybe its because life is different in A&D, project based work (as opposed to consumer products). The most likely scenario is that engineering comes up with a design for something. The assembly includes models downloaded from websites or quickly mocked up from 2D sketches in a parts catalog.  Either way, sourcing is locked in at that point.  Reuse checks occur, if they've numbered it right, when they try to check it in and see that the model a

(Working in PDM Windchill 10.2 M020)...I am trying to add some instances to a family table...The way I do it is that I move that generic part with all the instances from my librabry folders in a particular folder and from there I add/modify instances... I was doing this way for a while and it worked for me. Today, I have encountered this situation that I can't move this particular generic file with all instances because (see snipped picture below):   Did anybody have similar issue before?   Thank you  

We are planning on implementing a single sign-on system (Oracle Access Manager)that utilizes Form Based Authentication (FBA). Currently the cadworker appears to send username and password to the worker to enable it to authentication with PDMLink. I appears to me that the single sign-on system will break the functionallity of the cadworker.Has anyone implemented the Cadworkers under a Form Based Authentication system? How did you accomplish it?Stuart Harvey

Are you setting CAD Document Number, Name and File Name all to the same value?Let's use this discussion forum to document your techniques to simplify this for the user.I am including a proposal below.PROPOSAL 1:File Name is NOT generated (since deliverables, flexible components, etc.) usually use some part of Part number/name. For example spring.prt, spring.drw, spring.mfg, spring_expanded.prt, etc.Keep all other identifiers driven by File Name (9.1 or 10.0)Use OIRs to drive Number and Name from File name (see attached)Use server-side preferences to prevent File Name from being driven by Name or Number in New CAD Document, Save As and RenameUse Windchill 10.0 Type and Attribute Administrator to remove Number and Name from Layouts of UIs:CAD Document Information PageNew CAD Document UIUse Table Displays to remove Number and Name from Tabular UIs (9.1 or 10.0):Workspace ListingCheck Inetc.Users can continue to refine tables using Windchill 10.0 Table Controls to hide unwanted columns:Use

Am I able to use Work Group Manager Toolkit with Visual Studio 2013? Is here any training opportunity for programming with WGM Toolkit? Ideally in Europe (best in Czech Republic).

Hi everyone.   My windchill is configured to look at another ldap source where accounts are maintained.  Is it possible to bulk load users that exist in this other ldap source into specific windchill groups?  PTC says this kind of operation is not possible, only bulk loading users into the windchill ds (as new users).   Jon

Hello all,I'm interested in learning about customizing Windchill. My company is relatively new to Windchill, and I have experience in VB and C# languages, along with some Java. Any recommendations on what company provides the best training?

hi i'm SeonHo    I just started WindchillI was curious as I was looking at some of Windrill's roles.It's about the life cycle of Windchill.Proceed with a promotion request to use the lifecycleHowever, a new promotion request will not be processed after the approver has clicked reject.Is the promotion request simply a one-time call?If the request is rejected, should the authorized manager ask again?As a member, why is not my request?Also, how do changes in status immediately after requesting a promotion occur?I am curious to know how to define conversion or state definitions in detail.Do you have an example or tutorial from the beginning to the completion stage using the life cycle?Please let me knowI need a file to understand life cycle   Thank you

Hi, I want to know is there any way i can pass the username and password in the Windchill url so that the user need not enter it when accessing the secured resource so the pop up box does not appear.   i.e.  https://SITE/Windchill/rfa/logout/LogOutRedirect.jsp ?j_username="test"&j_password="test"   Or if there is a way we can do this through a TomCat Server

I did an OOTB install of Windchill 11m030 yesterday, but when I launch the web browser, I get the login screen and then a spinning cog wheel gif in the upper left corner. I am not seeing any error messages in the method server didplays. The one thing I did that was not normal was on the Oracle server, I ran 11m020 utlities to create the DB because that was the build I had planned on installing. When I got to the Windchill install, I did not have the 11m020 Service Pack image, so loaded the 11m030 images. I did notice that Upgrade Manager ran successfully, so I am guessing that the schema was upgraded. I did not se any errors in the Upgrade Manager log file. I installed with Oracle 12c.   I have done a prior install of 11m010 on Oracle 12c with no issues. I have also done an upgrade from 11m010 to m020 on those machines.   Is this somethiing in the install that may have casued this?

Hi,   Is there a way you can silently pass user credetials in order to download and print images to PDF using Business Objects or any other reporting software?

Hello,   I am currently analysing the Navigate Applications. In order to test the View Drawing App, I have set up a Windchill Installation with an example product, including various .PRT and .ASM files. I have also created some drawings and PDFs based on these drawings. My question is, how do I have to link the CAD-Documents/WTParts/PDFs in order to have them show up in the View Drawing App results screen? I tried to upload the PDF and link it to the WTPart under the "Described by"-Documents tab, which did not solve the problem. The only result showing on the Results page is the .plt viewable, which was automatically created by a Worker.   Thank you
