Windchill

I am using a stand alone Java app to run IE tasks. (Java app based on RunTask.java example in WC 8.0 Customization using IE Tasks) I am not using a Java SOAP client. I think the issue has something to do with task delegation and using a dispatch task but have not found an example that provides a clear picture.The error:(com.ptc.core.adapter.server.impl.implResource/12) wt.util.WTException: No content input stream available. at com.ptc.core.adapter.server.impl.AddContentItemsWebjectDelegate.invoke(AddContentItemsWebjectDelegate.java:397) at com.ptc.core.adapter.server.impl.WebjectDelegateFactory.invokeDelegate(WebjectDelegateFactory.java:434) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at wt.method.WTAdapterImpl.processWebject(WTAdapterImpl.java:749)

Dear All,Currently we have Windchill Projectlink which is implemented to manage the Project across the Cross Functional teams. I have populated all the activities and RACI has been done and now we have it running in a perfect conditionMy concern is:1. For every document being uploaded and added as deliverables (documents are essentially, word, excel, igs, pdf and ppt and not other data), we have to route it manually for approval or release.Is there any possible way to get it done automatically for the documents uploaded in Projectlink.Reason for asking:Sometimes the users upload the document and set the track work to 100% before getting it to approval stage. Also I would like to ask, if an activity is set as complete, but as an admin I know it is not. Is it possible to revert it back and make users to rework on it.Thanks in Advance

We are using Creo 3.0 (M120) and I wanted to know where the option is to change the Check Out option when I add something to my workspaces. The option is set as default to NONE, but we want to change it to INITIALLY SELECTED, but cannot seem to find exactly where the option is. We've changed a few options in the Preference Manager but either we're changing the incorrect options or are doing so incorrectly.

I am new to CREO and Windchill.We are running CREO 3.0 M090 and Windchill 11.0.Is there a setting in Windchill 11.0 that deletes all previous versions of a part once that part, Assembly or Drawing is release?

I'm working on another update to our Change Management workflows. In this new version I end up with a bunch of sub-types of WTChangeActivity2.One in particular is fairly simple. On that I'm guessing that if I set it up this way I can give these two principals the access needed (Modify, etc.) while all other Roles get only Read & Download:Before I go too far down that rabbit hole, I want to confirm that everyone listed as Principal get the expanded permissions, even when there are multiple Roles chosen as Principal. After all, nobody likes messing with this cumbersome interface for a few hours only to have to delete and start over because of an unforeseen problem.

Hello everyone,I have a need to be able to check in PDMLink if a certain set of Products (identified by product numbers and/or Product codes) that are made available in a file (excel) exist in PDMLink or not (in a certain state).We know that we have a clear mismatch in what all data has been uploaded in our system.We need to figure out exactly what all Products are missing in the system that should have been there.So, we have retrieved an excel from our ERP system consisting of all Product numbers and Product codes (These are defined as Global attributes on EPMDocument type in Windchill)It is a huge list of around 10000 products in that excel.What I am looking for is a way to be able to check whether a certain Product (identified by Product no/Product code) has an equivalent EPMDocument (in Released state) in Windchill.If any of you have encountered similar issues, I would appreciate it how you managed to handle this.Thanking in advance and looking forward to some inputs.

Hallo zusammen,folgende Fragestellung an das Forum. Vorab, wir arbeiten mit Creo Direct Modeling und dem Windchill Workgroupmanager 10.2 M030-CPS18 auf dem Client und serverseitig mit CPS22.Ist es in PTC Windchill 10.2 als Admin möglich irgendwie an die Daten eines Users in seinem persönlichen Workspace zu kommen um diese Einzuchecken?Kurze Beschreibung des Falles: Ein User ist erkrankt und hat neu angelegte Daten in seinem persönlichen Workspace, diese sind zwar in den Commonspace hochgeladen und für mich als Admin ersichtlich, aber nicht eingecheckt. Nun sollte ich die Daten irgendwie "frei" bekommen, dass ein anderer User diese weiterbearbeiten kann. Neuanlage geht nicht, der Artikel ist bereits im System vorhanden und beim Einchecken bemerkt das System, dass im Commonspace eines Users Modell und Zeichnung bereits vorhanden sind, und bringt eine Fehlermeldung. Des weiteren möchten wir den aktuellen Stand nicht einfach nochmals erarbeiten. Lösungen unter Übernahme des Useraccounts mi

I am looking for a company that is currently using an APQP process managed by Windchill

Help! I need an article that helps me to find what I want to find in Windchill faster.  For example:  I want to find all parts that have keyword "Nut".  I don't want to see all the models I just want to see the various drawings so that I can find the right size I need.  However, windchill pulls up all 1500 models and exceeds the table limit and I cannot find what I need.Also, how can I make search more powerful? If I have the following library folder structure:NutsAcorn NutsFlange NutsStandard nutsStandard nuts (black plating)Screws Is there a way I can create to create parameters and search for all nuts with a 1/4-20 thread and only search in the Nuts folder?  This is just an example,  I understand that PTC has add-ons for fasteners, but I also want to be able other objects by parameters.  For example.  I have glass in different lengths and sizes.  Is there a way that I can create parameters in my parts to search for all glass: tempered, wi
