how to remove valvole file from workspace ?

Looking into the possibility of capturing user actions against roles and groups. Would like to know which user added individuals to roles in which containers. We can create a table in the database or just a flat file. Database would allow for easier filtering and searching.

Does anyone know if CreoView is supported on Apple mobile devices and for the desktop?  Is there any documentation?  I was unable to find anything on support.ptc.com

I have an open PTC case but wanted to see if anyone has any experience on this. I have 1 user who can no longer connect to Windchill from a specific PC. Anytime he tries to connect he gets an error that the server is offline. It will attempt to go online and fail. Sometimes even giving the "server is now available" but quick to go back offline. Over the past month it's been a progressive decay from occasionally happening to always happening. Clear participant cache at one point got him a day's worth of work before going offline again, then an hour, then minutes. Same with clearing caches/appdata. It works sometimes, but not forever. Methodserver is showing it as Creo disconnecting, along with socket write errors. I've purged caches, appdata, Creo Parametric program files, everything I can think of that belongs to Creo. Firewalls are fine. Network appears fine. I can log in on his machine, works fine. He can log onto other machines, works fine. Browser works fine. PTC is pointing me tow

Hi all,We are in wc 11.0We are going to use Part Described by document links.2 questions.,1. How to show that a used Revision of a document is the Latest Revision or Not Latest Revision? (Remember this is a Described by link)Strangely the OOTB system attribute "Latest" is for Iteration. Is there OOTB system attribute to know if it is the latest Revision?2. Is there preference or property to delete  from the "Described by" link ---the old Revision of the document and link the Latest Revision of that document?Because user will not know that the connected document is not the latest Revision. There is a high need for this.Is this an enhancement done in WC 11.0 or do we need to do customization?Thanks & Have a nice day!Hari

windchill installation stuck at 50% from three days so what to do?

Customer QuestionWe are into our first week of using the new Windchill system, and so far we are liking it. However, I do have one question for you. Previously, in Intralink 3.4, we were able to locate a specific check in form, and delete it along with the part iterations introduced, effectively undoing the check-in.So far I have not found a way to do this using Windchill. I would like to be able to find a specific check-in, see what parts were modified, and delete the latest iteration of those parts.

Can anyone tell me how can I bulk remove users from windchill 10.2 please?I can only import 50 users in to the participant administration and I have to remove 1400+ disconnected users.Is there a way that I can remove all disconnected users at once?Thank you in advance for any guidance you can give.

  I am using Windchill ProjectLink 10.2 M030.   I have created a project plan which has 5-6 activities, which needs to start after one another.  i.e Activity 2 must start on completion of Activity 1 only and Activity 3 to start after completion of activity 2 and so on.  Hence in activty 2, I have given the predecessor relationship as "1FS" and in activity 3, "2FS" and so on.  But on starting the project, all activities are available at the same time for respective users and activities are not following the reqd sequnce.  Activity does not wait for predecessor avtivity to complete.  Has anyone faced similar issues while working on ProjectLink? Any help regarding the same would be appreciated.  Best regards Sharath

When transforming a eBOM to an mBOM, we have been duplicating without propagating child design parts (basically quick copy / paste).  We have noticed that there are links created between a design part in eBOM and the as-is design part in the mBOM.  The preference Allow Creation of Equivalence Link to Self controls this and the default is yes.....can anyone explain the pros and cons of leaving this yes or changing to no.  My gut tells me that we should just leave alone.....but I at least want to know why.  What would be the use case for both?

I have created a change notice but don't want to use advanced life cycle but when I use Basic it seems I am not advancing my CAD objects though the workflow but only advancing the workflow itself?  I am new to the workflow creation and think My issue might be right at the beginning because I don't get a task assigned.  Goes straight to my updates?  I would send a screen shot of my workflow but have since deleted it because it didn't work.  Going to start from scratch.  The life cycle I want to use is the OOTB two phase..  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in AdvanceEd

Hi all,I've created a document structure.  For each object in that structure, I've attached a "New URL Link attachment".  The URL looks something like:File://server_location/filename.htmBut, when I try to use the link (by clicking on it), the URL has a string (the string "unallowed") inserted.  In the web browser, it turns to:unallowedFile://server_location/filename.htmIs there any way to prevent the string “unallowed” from being inserted into the URL?Regards,Graham

Currently Windchill Workgroup Manager doesn't support these drawing formats extensions .slddrtUser have to store the formats files in a shared folder to insert or modify a frame in a drawing.These files would be managed by Windchill

Working offline today since they doing maintenance and I forgot to unlock an assembly and a drawing I was planning on working on. Any idea if I can unlock the drawing in my workspace when I am offline?

Greetings Gurus,I am wondering if anyone has discovered a way to show a direct link to the viewable file (in our case the PDF) for a CAD drawing in the search results or any other view for that matter?We recently had a member of our user community say the number one enhancement they would like to see in Windchill is the ability to directly open the PDF (resulting from published CAD drawing) directly from the search results table.  It is too many layers down to actually be able to open the PDF file in adobe.I was thinking maybe using Alias attribute on EPM document to show a link to the associated viewable file? Any help is appreciated.BR,Cam

What does the upgrademanager do on the fileservers? To run a rehearsal upgrade from a test server, I would like to simulate a replica fileserver without vault content by creating the folder structure and validating the folders in the UI. The production replica servers have too much content to easily clone for a rehearsal.This is not officially supported but I wondered if it would work. Has anyone tried something like this? Seems like it is worth a try. If it doesn't work I can rerun the upgrademanager and use "Manually Configure File Servers Post Upgrade."Mark

One of my customers has very strict requirements with regard to information security. As a result, all mail traffic from Windchill to external companies is forbidden and blocked by configuration. However, they also would like to send (encrypted) Package Deliveries directly by mail from Windchill. But, still block all other mailing capabilities in Windchill.Intensive collaboration with external companies is supported by fixed VPN connections and ProjectLink. For other less intense collaboration we would like to use the Package Delivery by mail, directly from Windchill to have all information sharing traceable.Any of you having experience with these kind of requirements? I am looking for possibilities for configuration of Windchill or configuration of infrastructural solutions to achieve this use case.

Dear all,is there a way to pass the link between the child and the parent to a custom action? I need to develop a customization where the quantity is needed and I have to found a way to do it, possible as much "standard" as I can .Thank youRiccardo

Wouldn't this function useful?Without navigating the part details and then adding it to the workspace...
