Windchill

One of the most annoying things about Windchill has got to be its interface with Java.Just finished re-hosting Windchill/Intralink 10.2 M030 to a test system and would like to look at the "Vault Configuration" but something regarding Java is not working?I believe I'm running the correct non-latest version (7.0.790). I have the correct "Exception Site Lists" defined.Prior to posting I have spent hours searching for solution but nothing has worked?May I ask what are the key steps to properly get this to work?

Hello,Is it possible to download the EPMDocument 3D data using the SQL expression or the Windchill API just like we can do it for WTDocument

The replace managements tab opens and when i select the part to be replaced in 'alternates' and click OK it does not do anything

I started a Master Assy using Type Part.  I think we are going to use what we call Family Models in the EBOM which will equivalent link to Models located in the MBOM.  Can Type Part be the parent to Type Model?                Highest Level Type=Part                                   |         ----------------------------------------         |                                              |Type=Model      &nb

Hi  All,       I'm trying for the following functionality,     I'm having the EPMDocument with the some representation, I need to create Interference Detection Definition (IDD) to that representation, the IDD is the type of the WTDocument and its primary content is .pvc file of the representation.         Currently I could able to create WTDocument with the type IDD without PVC attachement, becuase I didn't found the API to create PVC file against to representation.    Can anyone help me with the API that will generate the PVC file fro the representation.Thanks in advanceChandraMouli Panduri

Hi AllI am looking for some advice on best practice in terms of the use of Windchill Projects and the interaction with Packages. We are using the tool within a complex environment of who is able to access what data.  From what i can tell there are two ways to make a document visible in a ProjectIn the Product/Library, open the items and use "Send to Project"Within the Project, Create a Package (CDRL) and and relate the document (in Product/Library - Has not been shared) to the package.Both options appear to work and will provide Project participants access to file that they can not normally see. My biggest concern with option 2 is that you can not see from the document record, the projects it has been shared to. What do other users see as the advantages or disadvantages of both approaches. Thanks for thisShane

What 's  a difference between Temperature Rise and temp Override? If we have assembly temperature measurements data, we should fill in that temperature Rise or temp override.

Hi, I think there would be benefit in allowing the System Name (System Tree Table) to be able to be selected for use as a filter.Currently I use a FRACAS group to collate system files from several project to run reports/graphs.  However, we also wish to be able to select one of the listed system names individually without having to open the project is resides in.Adding a filter which allows you to select a system file from projects you have access to would be beneficial.cheersBernadette

Recently we acquired a company that had a large amount of Intralink 3.4 data and now I am tasked with trying to ingest it all into one platform which is our production Windchill 10.2 environment with oracle back end DB. Due to the physical server hosting the Intralink 3.4 instances being at a remote facility, we have installed on a separate workstation Wildfire 2.0/Intralink 3.4 to try and connect over the wire to the common space files stored on the off-prem server. Utilizing a known good username and password this is the error we are receiving on the client side: PDMc_GenericDatabase::LoadActnCodeAndActnNameMaps when trying to login to the off-prem 3.4 intralink server.we have also turned off:1. all antivirus software.2. Windows firewalls3. Ping times between each are stable and consistant4. no ports are being blocked on the networking side outbound or inbound.Thanks in advance,Frank

Is there anyway I can setup a notification whenever a context team is modified? I want to setup a notfication to alert the administrator whenever someone add/removes principal to Context team. I tried the notification on contextteam from policy administrator, this did not work.

Our service department recently was searching for a vehicle VIN number in Windchill.  Lets say the VIN was 1HTGPSNR4HH542122 (an attribute, not name or number field), when this VIN was entered it returned nothing...what we found was that someone replaced the leading 1 with an I.  No biggy, was fixed immediately. BUT we realized a searching short coming.  The user tried leading ** to try and find the number, but couldn't. He searched:*HTGPSNR4HH542122**TGPSNR4HH542122With no return.  Is there anyway to search and attribute with leading wildcards?Thanks,Greg

Hi,I have a WTPart and is associated with an EPM Document. Now I want to change the type of Part its subtype.How can I achieve it?Thanks,

I know that the AND operator can just be used with caps and spaces (e.g. Electronics AND circuit), however the same syntax for OR is not working.  How do you search something like this:Electronics AND circuit OR boardI know WC 11 can probably do this much easier, but I am asking for 10.1 because that is what we are on now and will be for a while.

We have the Product context called Machine as the top level. I found where the person who set up the system had created a ACEMP Product template for the Machine product. We are now moving the design forward and to keep designs separate, we want to create a context named NexGen.I go to the product top level, hit the Create new product icon, give it a name and then select the ACEMP Product template. When I hit OK, the system comes back with a pop=up window saying it cannot find the ACEMP Product template. I have found the template and looked at it. Everything is built from the /default structure, so this template should work on any new Product context.The original ACEMP Product template was built at Windchill 8 and I am now running Windchill 10.0 m040. Does this make a difference? Being stored in Oracle, I would have thought it would have been updated by the update process.If anyone has any ideas of what I need to do, let me know. I will keep researching and reading to find out what is n

This is just a quick post about a potential error for which I found no directly pertinent information.If you're upgrading from Windchill 10.x to Windchill 11.x, and you're using SQL Server for the database, you need to upgrade the database to SQL Server 2012 or newer.  One of the upgrade steps is to run the AlterDatabaseCollation.cmd batch file to change the collation from the old supported version to the new supported version.If that batch file errors out and reports something similar to "Cannot resolve collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS" and "Latin1_General_100_CI_AS_KS_WS_SC" in add operator occurring in SELECT statement column 1", then you probably made the same mistake I made, changing the database containment type too early in the process.The AlterDatabaseCollation.cmd batch file needs to be run against a database that does not use partial containment because the scripts, as written, cannot account for the different collations that come into play on SQL

Hi,I am trying to update the WTVariance object IBA but can't see the updated values can any one help me how I can do this using codeI am using this code right nowtry{            wt.change2.WTVariance var = (wt.change2.WTVariance)primaryBusinessObject;            com.ptc.core.lwc.server.LWCNormalizedObject obj = new com.ptc.core.lwc.server.LWCNormalizedObject(var , null,java.util.Locale.US, null);            obj.load(att);            obj.set(att,attValue);            obj.apply();            //PersistenceHelper.manager.refresh(var );            PersistenceHelper.manager.refresh(var );    &n

Once in a while I have a user that will check in a file from a workspace they didn't mean to and didn't realize they did.  These files go in a the type "Other".  I thought I could just create a policy that won't allow anyone to check in a file of this type.  When I went to the Policy Administration I couldn't find it.  Is this possible?

I have PDMLink users that have left the company with workspaces I want to access. At the very least I need to change the "context" of the workspaces. Is this possible?

Hi Windchillers,   Need your help for Windchill license compliance. I have developed custom report which list's out the last logins of the users from DB's Audit records. This is a query builder report. The aim is to disable all users who have not logged in to Windchill since last 6 months.   However i have noticed that if i dump a report of Groups (in DS) and the users in this groups (from AD) into an excel; there are  many users listed there which have been disabled in AD. Note that they are not disabled in Windchill but disabled in AD   QUESTION 1) . A login event is not generated by such users but notifications are being sent to them ; they being part of some group. Do such members consume Windchill License ?   QUESTION 2) How do you classify the audited user list as in 4 distinct roles, (Heavy user, Light user, View & Print user and External user) ? Windchill is licensed as per these roles.   QUESTION 3) How to best generate the compliance repor
