Windchill

Hi, I am working on a feature on creating a Report Generator Dashboard. I need usually execute the reports created in the Windchill in Thingworx and show in the Table.  Is there a way or WRS to do this? Thanks.

Hi all,I am creating a new Info Engine(IE) task. That IE task requires a string parameter as input and it calls another IE task inside. So in my new IE task, I perform a validation and when it succeeds I call another IE task. But if the validation fails, I need to throw an exception or communicate to the user about the error message. How can we do it? I am testing it using the PTC IE domain in WRS.

A promotion request approver sent a PR back for rework with a very long comment. After the comments had been incorporated and the rework was completed, when the approver attempted so sign off to approve the PR, he got an error “The value exceeds the upper limit of “4000” for “Instructions”.  My assumption was that this long comment (which has 4000+ characters) was the culprit, but I haven’t found a way to edit the comment.Has anyone seen this error? Is there a way to edit a comment in the Process Status section?

Hi,I want to add a Coversheet to the representation that shows the different tasks completed by the users as part of a change over the WTDocument. Using the Tasks, Change and Change Task drag-and-drop, I don’t see my requirement being met. I was also unable to find good examples, if there is anyone who has implemented them or has good examples on the configuration, please drop your insights and suggestions. Thanks, Hari

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030-CPS08 The customer is using Windchill 11.0. They are unable to access Policy Administration. When accessing the administrator console with F12, the following error occurs: http://wc-server.selcos.co.kr/Windchill/wtcore/jsp/domain/admin/netmarkets/javascript/util/log4javascript/log4javascript.js How can they restore access to the policy administration page?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.0.0One of our new (2) SBU teams are facing a unique challenge: the current Windchill (PTC) setup doesn’t allow creating ECNs with staggered, component-level effectivity dates (for example, one component changing on Jan 15 and another on Mar 30). Their current workaround—forcing both ECNs to use the earlier date and then manually updating production orders—is causing some inventory inaccuraciesIf PTC aware of any similar situation and have workable solutions or best practices, we would greatly appreciate your guidance..Here are the errors that I facedPlease find Detailed Summary (Windchill -SAP)Example we have parent part PN “XXXXXX”• The parent part PN “XXXXXX” currently has a BOM with components A, B and C.• Engineering needs to replace components at different times because of phase-outs and stock levels.Two separate engineering changes (ECNs) are created:1.

Hello,In my current project, I need to define custom attributes on context objects (Product, Library, and Project).I'm wondering what the recommended approach is:Subtyping the OOTB context types (wt.pdmlink.PDMLinkProduct, wt.inf.library.WTLibrary, wt.projmgmt.admin.Project2) to add the attributes on the subtypes, or Modifying the OOTB types directly through the Type and Attribute Manager?My main concerns are upgrade safety and long-term maintainability. Subtyping feels cleaner, but I'm not sure if context types behave differently from regular object types in that regard, particularly when it comes to container creation and template resolution.Does PTC have any official documentation?Thanks in advance.

Hello,anyone could help determining how the workflow expression should be composed to get a conditional when a CN includes asm files in the affected objects.Thank you.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.5 We are currently integrating Windchill APIs with our Metadata Tool for API cataloging and lineage purposes. The schema is required by metadata tool in order to automatically parse and register the API endpoints and metadata. We identified that the following schema endpoint successfully returns a valid OpenAPI 3.0 JSON schema when accessed with Basic Authentication: https://x.company.ae/Windchill/protocolAuth/netmarkets/html/wrs/odata-to-swagger.jsp?v=7&d=ProdMgmt. We also tested generating a CSRF token using the below endpoint: https://x.company.ae/Windchill/protocolAuth/servlet/odata/v5/PTC/GetCSRFToken() The generated token works successfully for BOM-related API calls, but it does not work when accessing the swagger/OpenAPI endpoint above. Could you please check with the PTC/Windchill team if one of the following options can be provided: A token-based authentication mechanism for accessing the OpenAPI schema

Dear Team,We are trying to check in a CAD Model from Creo Parametric. For example, our CAD Model number format like “*****_*****_*****.PRT”, now if we click on auto associate the WTPart will be created only with initial 10 characters: “*****_*****”. We don’t want to involve any customization, want to achieve this scenario using configuration changes. Is this possible?

I am aware of this utility:https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS115390?source=search and database mods are sometimes easy to do but I think its time to sick an intern on this project. For those cases where I import some data that needs to start life at a higher revision other than initial, I need a clean way to alter the current identifier to something else. I can envision the UI being a simple drop down list or validated textbox for user entry but would need to accept a new version letter and alter the object. Supporting multiselect would be nice too. It also should handle erorr checking caveats to maintain sanity. Posting here if anyone else has thoughts and can supply some useful requirements I can fold in. Willing to share results with field when complete. 

I have a workflow with 4 optional routes, where users can select any combination of the routes during execution. At the end of the workflow, I am using an AND connector because I need the process to continue only after all selected routes are completed.The issue is that the AND connector waits for all 4 routes to complete, even when only 2 or 3 routes were actually selected.Has anyone handled a similar requirement in PTC Windchill workflows? I’m looking for the best approach to make the connector wait only for the routes that were chosen by the user.I’ve also attached a Word document to better explain the workflow scenario and expected behavior.

Problem:Windchill ADU licenses reset at 00:00 GMT. For customers outside GMT, this reset lands inside the local working day. Melbourne customer (GMT+10/+11) experiences the reset at 10-11 AM local, users arriving at 8-9 AM cannot log in when the pool is exhausted and must wait 1-2 hours.Proposed Solution:Define the ADU 24-hour window using the connected Windchill server's timezone, not GMT.Why:The PTC PLM Licensing Basis document (Oct 2024) already defines Windchill Platform Structures ADU, ThingWorx Navigate ADU, and Daily Login basis as using the connected server's timezone. The product behavior should match the contractual definition.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS F000-CPS01 Facing an issue during creating the organization in windchill 11.1 Here are the errors that I faced \accessrules\orgContainerRules.xml (The system cannot find the path specified)

Hi,Curious if anyone out there is using Windchill for Digital Asset Management (DAM) and working with images, videos and audio files? If so, what methods, techniques or customizations have you implmented for it? I'm also curious how many customers would have an interest in DAM as a component of Windchill? I have been collecting requirements for multi-media artifacts in Windchill, but would like to get a better understanding of the customer need. At a minimum, I would like to consider support for new Windchill objects; image, audio and video that would support the following capabilities.meta-data extraction from uploaded image/audio/video filesfull support for all image/audio/video formatsreal-time, Web 2.0 image/audio/video viewingability to embed web-enabled image/audio/video editor or serviceability to download images/audio/video in any format (real-time conversion)new view management options in the browserneeds more than just a folder viewvariable size thumbnail viewsfilm reel view

I would like to confirm whether there is an official supported way to integrate Windchill and Codebeamer without using ThingWorx.We need to provide clear guidance to customers on whether ThingWorx is required for this functionality, or whether Windchill and Codebeamer can be connected through another official supported method.The only PTC document I found mentioning this connection is:https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS400634?as=1I also found this previous community post asking about Windchill–Codebeamer integration, but I could not find a clear answer there:https://community.ptc.com/codebeamer-ideas-401/windchill-codebeamer-integration-152118Any guidance or reference to official documentation would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030-CPS16 我使用windchillPLM11.0产品，在对半成品部件使用定制开发功能（就是将半成品的Design视图信息（含EBOM中子物料）批量扩展到其他工厂（process）视图下），操作步骤如下：操作-转制造视图--选择要转的物料行--选择要转的工厂视图--确定执行。 在设计上，新转出来的工厂视图中的历史记录中有个“修改者”信息应该显示操作人账号本身，但个别账号和wcadmin账号在操作转制造视图时，新生成的工厂视图中修改者显示的仍旧是design视图的维护人账号。 针对这个部件--历史记录中的“修改者”显示问题，我需要咨询下原因。
