Has anyone change the name from Issues to Problem Report (see picture)?  I would like to change this, does anyone have the steps to change? Greg

I'm testing upgrading from 10.2 on server 1 to 11.0 on server 2.  Last time I did an upgrade it was on the same machine so it made some things easier like reconnecting to our corporate LDAP.  Does anyone have the procudures on how to reconnect it when you chose th copy the additional JNDI adapters during upgrade?  I noticed that my app-Windchill-AuthProvider.xml file does not have the entry for it.  I also noticed that in the Info*Engine administration that it still points to the old server name.  And that SQL Server still has the old server name in the repository table.

How to update Signature Link table using API to develop a utility

1. What happens during the build of WTPart structure of a CAD Assembly when few of its components are present in different container/folders than mentioned in the part_creation.xml configuration.   2. Is it safe to stop the utility its execution in between and resume? How to stop the utility?   3. Is it recommended to execute the Part Creation utility in the live Production environment. Do anyone have any experience of it?   Thanks in Advance.

Hello, I just finished to read " PTC Windchill Vaulting and Replication Planning " and I still have 2 questions about replication :   1. Why the content ( A on the illustration bellow) is store in RDBMS database and not in the external vault?   2. If a user upload or check in a content on a remote file server, when are the metadata sent to the master server ? ( at the upload/check in of the content ? )   Thanks a lot Please let me know if you need any further information. Best regards, Alex

I am trying to figure out if conditional watermarking is possible: (we want the watermark to = value of PART_CLASSIFICATION for all cases except when that value is UNCLASSIFIED, then we want it to be something like SECRET/RD PENDING REVIEW). The actual label doesn't matter. The main question is: Is it possible to have the watermark feature support logic in terms of which watermark it uses?   Thanks for any help.

Hi,Does anyone here know how I can configure Windchill to deliver a package to an FTP location?The delivery of the package via Email works great, but I would really like to push this onto an FTP location.The documentation which I've read thus far deals with Distribution Targets, but I don't have a "Manage Distribution" link on either my Site or Organisation Utilities page?Kevin SperringTechnical ManagerLexisNexis215 North Ridge RoadDurban4001kevin.sperring@lexisnexis.co.za+27 (0) 31 268 3045 Direct+27 (0) 82 3891361 MobileP Please consider the environment before printing

Dear All, Is there an API to execute report (Report or Report Template) in backend and get result as outputstream? For example : 1. I created an Report Template using QueryBuilder 2. How to get report result as an outputstream by passing necessary report parameters to execute above created "Report Template"   3. Is there an API available?  

So we have migrated our workflows from 9.1 to 11.0.  We have got most things to work. One issue, If there is a workflow task that goes to multiple users (all users required to complete) at the same time and there is a routing choice of radio buttons.  The task displays with nothing preselected, which is how it should.  So that user makes a selection and completes the task.  But when the next user looks at the task, the routing radio button is preselected with the previous users selection.  I would expect each user to view the task and the routing options are not selected.  What is going on?This works correctly in 9.1, with the blank radio buttons for each user. 

I have exported my Oracle and LDAP data, my cache vaults and run robocopy on my data vaults to my test machine. I have installed OOTB Windchill 11 on that machine and Oracle 12c on the DB machine. Will the Upgrade Manager work when my machine names are now PDM3 & PDM4 instead of the WC10 machines that are PDM1 and PDM2? Basically it is a rehost/upgrade in one move. If that will not work, I will need to do the rehost to PDM3 and PDM4 of my WC10/Oracle11g, export all of the data again, then blow away WC10/Oracle11g and reinstall WC11/Oracle12c and then import the data for the Upgrade Manager. Seems there should be an easier method of doing an upgrade!!!!  

Has anyone found a way to control Creo View Resolution, especially of text?  It is very grainy and hard on the eyes.  It would be a bonus if text could be recognized as text!   We are currently still using the default home grown ProE "stick font" (not TTF and not OTF) simply called "font".

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.

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.
