Hi everyone,I want to enable the "Add to Workspace" action for guest users in a library. On the team view if I open up the "Configure Actions for Roles" the checkbox is not visible for the Guest role.I found the roleaccessprefs.xml file in codebase, where I can make the "Add to Workspace" action available and enabled for guest role. However this will make the new libraries created have the checkbox available and enabled, but the already existing libraries will not be updated. How could I update the existing ones?Thx in advance,Tamás

Is there a way to have a graphic view of the tasks of a change notice/request to see easily where the change worflow is and what tasks is not validated to continue the change process ?    

I can see that it is not possible OOTB but I would like to know what you guys think of completing multiple activities at once, something like the "Edit multiple activities" for project tasks.The thing is that the amount of activities in one step of the workflow for each user per day is insane, at least in this part of the workflow I would like to allow the completion of multiple activities at the same time with the same value for a wf activity routing option.I was thinking in customizing the actions menu: Repeats the process selecting all the activities which he wants to complete with other values. Do you guys think this is reasonable?Guilherme Rocha

We are migrating data from ProductCenter to Windchill (25 years of data).  What kind of timeline should we be looking at to migrate?  We do not have any CAD data in ProductCenter.

We are working on getting a server spec'd out to go from 10.1 M050 to 11.0 M030.   The document CS254192 on PTC's site states "Windchill PDMLink 11.0 M030 will not be supported with Microsoft Windows Server 2016" but nothing at all about when it WILL be supported.   Does anyone know when 2016 will be supported?

I'm working on a migration from ProI 3.4 M062 to Windchill. Unfornately I don't seem to have the PTC Oracle Software Assistant CD or software image and am trying to build a clean tet install of 3.4 to practice the migration on.   Does anyone have a copy of this (it is actually probably the M060 version of the OSA) lying around and could upload it somewhere I can download it? Many thanks.   ~Dan

Dear Windchill Gurus,Our company is going to consolidate the old Windchill 10.1 on Linux and Windchill 9.1 on windows server to a consolidated platform.  But we need to choose between staying with the 10.1 with the latest Maintenance build or a higher version.Is there a reliable version with good customer satisfaction rate so far after 10.1?   I heard the Cloud solution is not that good.Thanks!Jerry

  I need a way to send informations about our products changes to multiple clients (external mails) using the Package Delivery feature with using blind copy (bcco) one client can`t see the others mails in the list.    The impact is that each time our engineers need to comunicate our client is that they need to create more than 200 package for that. Anyone have a solution for that or a  way to send bcco using Windchill and keep the traceability?   Thanks!

Hello,Is there any way we can add new attributes in the Customizing Table Views, when I try to create a new custom view I can see the some attributes are missing is there any way we can add it

I use the SOAP api with Windchill 10.0 to create a custom interface and do some automated stuff.I can do queries now and a navigation through the folders. But now I want to do changes to the lifecycle state of an object. My understanding is that I need to use ApplyService for that. But if I try that, it only gives me an Internal Server Error which is a NullPointer exception in the shell on the Windchill server.If someone could give me a working example of ApplyService or, even better, something to set a new lifecycle state, that would be really helpfull for me.Thanks in advance,martin

I have a requirement where third party system is going to place a file on the shared directory. I need to pick the file in hourly basis and update the values in windchill WTPart.Could you please let me know is there any job scheduler supported in windchill?

I haven't seen a list of options specifically for Creo Parametric publishing workers, so I thought I would post the options I use and ask for feedback.Some of these options could be outdated. We first started using Windchill at version 9.0 with Pro/Engineer WF 4 content. I usually scan the options for changes as I update Creo Parametric (Pro/E) on the worker machines to make sure they are still valid, but the list of options grows larger and larger. It would be easy to miss some important changes.Also, some of these options only work with newer versions of Creo Parametric, like 3.0. I recently added windows_browser_type = chromium_browser since it is the supported browser packaged with the application. Setting this option helps avoid IE settings that could cause problems or could be updated automatically without my knowledge through Windows group policy.I would really like to hear from others on this. Please comment.My config.pro options:datum_display NOdatum_point_display NOdatum_poin

When upgrading to SQL Server 2012, one of the steps is Full-text Upgrade.  There are three options: Import, Rebuild and Reset.  Can I use Reset, which deletes full-text catalogs or does Windchill use full-text catalogs so that I should choose one of the other options?

I want to get thingworx logged in user ufid from Windchill. I created an Infoengine task for WTUser to get the user unique identifier (ufid). I am wondering if I can use any out of the box Windchill connector services to get this information.   thanks, Preeti

So I've been racking my brain since march, and literally no valuable help from PTC on this issue, but I need some input from the community at this point.  We've had a case open with PTC for 68 days and still no fix...Environment:Windows Server 2012R2Windchill 11.0 M020 (also tried with M030) OOTB-Apache 2.4 (bundled version)Server (& AD Domain Controller) has policies that require contact to AD/DC to be NTLMv2 only.Certificates are properly imported into Keystore & to the TRCA on the machineFollowed CS62326.This configuration works perfectly with our production environment Windows Server 2008R2 / WC 10.2 M030 / Apache 2.2.I am racking my brain here....Any of you using Server 2012R2 & WC 11.0 yet?

Hi,What is the different between a DynamicRole and RoleGroups in Windchill 11.0? Where can I find a documentation about the different group types?Both are used in the Context Template xml (see snipped below). The ACLs are created with the UI. ...  <AccessControlRule>     <domainName>/Default</domainName>     <externalTypeId>WCTYPE|wt.doc.WTDocument|priv.Domain.MyDocument</externalTypeId>     <lifecycleState>RELEASED</lifecycleState>     <WTPrincipalReference isInternal="true">       <groupName>DOCUMENT_MANAGEMENT</groupName>       <groupType>DynamicRole</groupType>     </WTPrincipalReference>     <grantPermissionSet><AccessPermissionSet>         <permissionField name="READ"></permissionField>   &n

I am relatively sure this is not possible, but has anyone had any success with creating a Windchill Replica Vault on a computer that does not run Windchill, for example, a laptop?My company is working with replicating vaults for convenient transfer of data without passing it through a WAN, much like in this thread.
