Windchill

I want to replace an assembly from local to windchill workspace, I matched name of all the parts inside the assembly.The difference between both assembly is number of change in datum points for the wire.when i opened the updated file from local workspace and clicked save i got some info saying that "i need to checkout some objects".once i proceed with that dialogbox.after sometimes i got checkout failed  message saying "i dont have access to perform that operation".Then i closed and gave erase not displayed and opened the same file in windchill that i was trying to update from local workspace.i found some erros in that file and in tables it shows a clock symbol with saying "modified by you".my question is how the parts gets modified even i dont have permission to checkout the parts in assembly.@

I have a document. I making a copy of that document, thru code. When I create a new document, the contents/file attached to the original document does not get copied. I am using the ContentHolder & ContentHelper API.ContentHelper.getApplicationData() to get the data. Following is the code  ContentHolder content = null;  try  {      content = ContentHelper.service.getContents((ContentHolder)document_object);  }  catch (PropertyVetoException e)  {      e.printStackTrace();  }        Vector vcontent = ContentHelper.getApplicationData(content);           newDocument.setContentVector(vcontent);Which API would help to get data from a document & set it to a new document?

Need provision in WPA to restrict parts from getting assigned to recalculation queue if it has disqualified or Obsolete status.   This will considerably reduce the part count in recalculation queue. Avoid additional load in to the system.

For Navigate 1.4.0 we need to support Thingworx 7.3, and I can see that the artifact versions should be '7.3.0-b51'. I was able to find '7.3.0-b50' in our maven repositories, but not '7.3.0-b51', and the builds are failing when I update the version.   Does anybody know where are the thingworx '7.3.0-b51' artifacts.

On a few machines Java isn't working properly. I can't get any java applets to fully load. I have plenty other where it is working fine.  Through investigation on a couple of the trouble machines it looks like it loads so far and then just stops. We are using 1.7 U25 with M030 pmlink.  I have tried reinstalling and a few other things and nothing seems to help.  It's like I'm missing the secret handshake...... Any help would be appreciated greatly!

We have a single user whose Updates table on the WC home screen will only display a single row. If he creates a new object (such as a Change Request), the existing row object disappears and the new item takes its place.All other users see multiple rows of updated objects, and this problem is not just local to his PC. It follows to wherever he logs in.I have never seen this and don't have any good ideas on the possible cause.Any thoughts?

In "my workspace" of the home of Windchill.An active icon is near to a deletion icon in a workspace.Because a conflicting icon is near, I want to change the position of the icon.It does not let you display a deletion icon. And I perform the deletion from a menu.

Anyone have the simple solution to this error? I am running PSI as root and have full rights to the staging directory. As soon as I click on begin install, I get the error about javasdk can't continue and it stops right there. The interesting thing is that I installed Windchill 11 on another clone of the server without getting this error. From what I read, it could be a rights issue somewhere, but I am running this as root. Anyone have any ideas on what to look for? Thanks in advance!

I know I have done this before when we modified Windchill to accept the xml formatted Office documents, but I cannot remember what I modified or how I did it.I searched the Windchill 10.0 Customization guide, but nothing hit me as to what this customization is.Where in Windchill are the file extensions set for document types that can be uploaded? We have Excel macro driven file that has a .xlsm extension and it is giving us problems uploading. At one point in the past, I modified some file to allow the .docx, .xlsx, .pptx and maybe some other MS Office extensions.Does Windchill support the .xlsm format?an someone point me to the right utility and/or files(s) that need to be modified for this?Windchill/PDMLink 10.0 m040

Hi Everyone,I virtualized a physical Windchill server and added the VM to my Hyper-V environment.When I try to access Windchill on the VM, I get prompt for a username and password. Once I submit my credentials, I get the dreaded "503 Service unavailable".I can see that the PTC HTTP and PTC Windchill services has started.Where else should I look to resolve this error?Thanks in advance.

Hello,We have a set of WTPart part number. We are unable to load them in Windchill as it gives an error message of "Uniqueness"; neither we can find (search) them in Windchill, so that we can delete the set and reload them or modify them.These WTPart part numbers were loaded in Windchill earlier as NLAG file type. Later the file try was changed to ZKIT file type. Once the file type was changed, the part numbers were vanished from the system. I am able to view the details through SQL query, but unable to locate them in Windchill and delete them.We change the part type with the process that are listed in the document number CS7287 (https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS7287&posno=1&q=ChangeTypeSql&source=search).Please review and suggest.Thanks,Yogesh

We put all our engineering project documents in PDMLink and the majority stay at In Work.  However, there are a few of the documents that our group leaders manually sets the state to Approved.  They are analysis reports.  The reason we do this is so people outside of engineering can see them.  The group leader knows to set the state when the engineer sends them an email.  The problem is many times the group leader forgets to set the state of these documents.We have workflows set up for our CR's/CN's but not for documents.I am wondering if anyone else does something like this and if so how they handle it.  I know we could create workflows but we would have to get our partner company to create them.  I'm not saying we won't do that but I am looking for a better and simpler (less expensive) option.

Look at the following example of a document created in Windchill PDMLink:Looking at the history view at the bottom of the above image, a document was created by "User 1" on 2015-09-17 13:51 EDT at version A.1.  It went through a series of changes.  On 2016-05-06 09:23 EDT, a change administrator (User 2) revised the object as part of an ECN to make version C.1.  Then the document was checked out and changed, and checked back in once again on 2016-07-26 11:31 EDT by User 1 and then the document was released again.If you look at the details view for the current version (C.2), it lists the "Created By" user as User 2, on the date when C.1 was created.  This is not intuitive to the users, and we prefer to see the date of the A.1 version and the individual who created that version.  Is there a way to get "Created By" and "Created On" to reflect that?

Is it possible to export and import a process plan with operations out of and into Windchill.In order to get it from one server to another.
