Windchill

Hi all, I have the Part Configuration object. I have to load / bulk create 100’s of Part Instances with Serial Nos, by giving the serial nos and basic info in an excel sheet or .csv sheet.Is this possible? We are in Windchill 12.1.Alternatively, is it possible to create a new WRS domain for Part Instance and define some custom PUT/POST functions in it? Any experience on how this can be achieved.Best RegardsHari

We are currently planning for WTParts and we are trying to figure out how to manage attributes that are to be governed in SAP.  Our Current WorkflowFinished Goods (End Items) meetings are held to discuss necessary attributes to be entered into SAP   An Administrator fills out a spreadsheet with the required new finished goods. Sometimes there can be dozens of finished goods at once (even hundreds). The spreadsheet is sent to the SAP team for SAP import and part creation.Windchill Implementation AssumptionsWindchill/SAP Integration will be custom, 1 way (still to be developed) Some of the attributes for a Finished Good should not be managed in the WTPart, as they should be governed by SAP and any changes in SAP will cause a disconnect with the data in Windchill (due to the custom 1 way SAP Integration). We will be converting the current process from Excel and Email to Windchill. All attributes that were sent through Excel will be sent through Windchill. Windchill users will never want o

I need to populate the New Number field for thousands of parts/assemblies in Windchill. See attached example: The New Number simply needs to be the string between the first underscore and the file extension of the File Name field (red font). I hope I don’t have to individually copy paste each of these.

We have a phantom item at the first level of the BOM that we do not want to publish as-is.The structure is:Parent → Phantom → Child partsIn Oracle, the expectation is:Parent → Child parts (phantom should be flattened)We are enabling one-level publishing only. Is it possible to generate the XML in such a way that the phantom is replaced with its child BOM (i.e., flatten the phantom during publishing)?I’m considering two approaches:Manually manipulating the XML, though this may be complex and error-prone due to multiple scenarios. Sending the BOM for phantom instead of phantom before generating the XML.Is there a better or recommended approach to achieve this?

Hello ​@JC_Niyonkuru  Currently, classification is only supported for WTPart and WTDocument. Have you received requests for cycle classification from other customers as well (see below idea)? Is this feature planned for a future version of Windchill? I would need a response from you before deciding whether to add further customizations to the system due to the lack of a feature that already exists but is not available for all object types. Thank you for your attention Marco

Hello,In the legacy licensing model Base, Advanced, Premium, the Windchill Save As action was included in Windchill Base. Which license does this action correspond to in the new ePLM licensing model? Standard Author? Design Engineering Lite? Design Engineering?Thanks a lot Christian 

I’m trying to create a custom REST domain with custom functions.  I copied an example to get going and it seems to initially work. However, when I then go to change the import.js, the updates never seem to take. I can actually delete the import.js and the custom function still work implying that the js is cached.Do I need to restart the server or clear some cache? 

 Hello Community,I have tried to install ThingWorx and Windchill Navigate, but I am facing a few issues. Could you please help me? When I am redirected through the Windchill address I connected to, a Status Code: 500 Windchill error screen appears. I edited the Windchill wtproperties file, but it did not resolve the issue. ThingWorx opens successfully, but the ThingWorx Mashup Runtime displays a blank screen. What could be the reason for this, and how can I fix it?  

While exporting the Structure BOM by selecting the “Multi Level BOM” option under the Reports tab, the BOM is currently exported with the report name followed by the Username and the current date. We would like to know if there is any possibility to export the file using the Number + Part Name instead.

Initially posted by ​@CM_10720949  on March 30,2026  the case and the emails we've received about these issues are not really coherent: In the email it's stated that: "If you have not installed the following CPS releases, we urge you to take the following actions immediately. CPS Releases:CPS F000 (Windchill Release 13.1.2)CPS01 (Windchill Release 13.1.1)CPS05 (Windchill Release 13.1.0)CPS07 (Windchill Release 13.0.2)CPS18 (Windchill Release 12.1.2)" while on the https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS466866 it's stated:This advisory applies to all CPS versions So which one is correct? fyi we're on 12.1.2.18, and I've implemented the first mitigation, now i'm wondering if I need to do the second...  since email and CS are stating the opposite, here i am asking. This topic and the replies were published during the recent read-only period.

 This post is to explain why you see some “republishing” activity on the Windchill forum. During our recent migration, we needed to put the Community on read-only mode as part of the process to migrate the content to our new platform. We decided to leave the Windchill forum open. During the read-only period, this forum received some engagement that we could not migrate properly. However, the content is not lost. We decided to republish it after the launch. Due to the constraints of the new platform, the format is unusual. Doing this will prevent a net loss of content while allowing users to pursue their conversations as needed. 2 use cases: Topic started BEFORE the read only period. We will manually republish the posts shortly after the launch (copy / paste).Caveat:These posts appear to be authored by the Community team. They bear the date of the re-publishing but will follow the same sequence.To mitigate this problem, we are adding a disclaimer on each topic to explain the reasons for

But in the windchill the custom numbering scheme is configured for the standard parts in the windchill library. so also want to maintain that numbering scheme for the fasteners and they should be used by IFX library in the Creo when designer wants to assemble any fastener in his assembly.What configurations are needed to implement this functionality ? and how to do this ?Also is it possible to map the Creo parameter of the fastener parts directly to the windchill partslink classification attributes ? Versions : Windchill 13.0.2.6 and Creo 11.0.0.0

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.2I need assistance regarding "Important update to PTC's cybersecurity advisory regarding critical Windchill and FlexPLM vulnerabilities"PTC has identified a critical vulnerability (CVSS v3.1 10.0) in its Windchill and FlexPLM products

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: We might have a requirement that will necessitate us to model the various machine setups of a machine , and use them for the operation as applicable, in the process plan.Description: Apparently, this requirement could be solutioned in many ways. for eg., 1. Use "Configurable Work Center" and use Set up variables captured as Option > Choices, then use the parameters of the process / requirements to give the setup required.2. Use Classification for the work center and pre create the instances of the work centers, with those values.3. OthersIt depends on the number of parameter variables and complexity, which I am yet to see the data. Wanted to hear from you experts on if you had come across such use cases and how was it solutioned.Even before that, I hope that Work center object can work as configurable item. Correct? ThanksHari  

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 10.0 and Datecode with CPS M010Critical vulnerability (CVSS10.0) in its Windchill and FlexPLM products. Want to add the immediate remediation steps but don't understand instructions.Currently have "D:\ptc\Windchill_12.1\HTTPServer\conf\conf.d\30-app-Windchill-Auth.conf" file. Do I simply create the new 90-app-Windchill-auth.conf and ONLY put the entry that was sent in the remediation or do I copy the 30-app file renaming to 90-app and have all of my configuration settings plus remediation??? Some of the replies to this topic were published during the recent read-only period.
