Windchill

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: I had to add/update the data formats .mp4 .avi .. to the existing formats "MPEG Movie Clip"Description: When i follow the guide "Updating Data Formats" in the Help:Enter the following command to update an existing data format:java wt.content.DataFormatUtil -updateIn a environment with SSO i don't get the "Authorization Request" i can't turn off the SSO in this env.So the guide is not working with SSO for meWithout SSO here is the requestIs there another workaround except turn off SSO ?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I have set up a product in my Windchill Instance. Within the product, I have added a group to the "Guest" role. This is the only role the group is associated to. I have also created a sub-type of a WTPart. When a user in this group looks at the "Details" tab of the WTPart sub-type, they are provided with values of "Secured Information" for the "State" and "Life Cycle Template". However, when they go into an OOTB WTPart (Internal Name - wt.part.WTPart), stored in the same folder of the same product, they are given visibility of the values for "State" and "Life Cycle Template". I came across this article - https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS280989?source=search . Having read this, I created a new policy at the organization level in the "/System" domain which was set to apply to types of "Life Cycle Template". The "State" value was set to "All" and the "Participant" specified was my group which was associated with the "Guest" role. This then al

I followed PTC Article CS135952 on finding all available Preferences in Windchill PLM, but the report shows many duplicates across multiple pages. How can I generate a QML report in Windchill 12.0 that lists all Preference Management report sheets without duplication?

After all of these years, PTC has still not aligned the Creation Wizard for Promotion Request and Problem Report / Change Request / Review (Design or Peer).  Does anyone know if PTC have any plans or is there an EASY way to add the Select Participant step to a Change Object or the Add Attachments step to a Promotion Request?  (I am sure it can be done by customization but didn't want to go down that route.) I wanted to use the Peer Review but it is not user friendly for the originator to receive an initial task just to set up the participants when it could easily be part of the object creation wizard as it is in the Promotion Request.  So, I decided to configure my own Peer Review using a Promotion Request instead.  But, now I am reminded that you can't "Add Attachments" to a Promotion Request in the create wizard.  So each option only gets me 90% of the way to what I want.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: I would like to change Number, Name, and File Name attributes for many CADDocuments and Parts. It took to much time to change the attributes manually. So I would like to use an odata Endpoint.Description: But i did not find any Endpoint in the odata documentation that fits my needs.  Do you have any ideas how to solve this Problem?

I have 5 states, design, development, production gate, production change and production released.  When a user create a new CAD document it starts in design and has to go through the production gate to reach production released.  The production gate is intended for CAD moving from development prototypes to production and requires extra approvals. But there are times when production engineers need to create a part which do not have to go through the production gate approvals. Is there a way allow them to create a part in the production change state? I see in the ACL that there are permissions for create in the specified state but I'm not sure how to set the life cycle state before creating and checking in a new part.

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Can we add a prefix to a change notice number generation OIR? Where the prefix is an attribute from the product context where the CN is being generated.

When we have a top level folder displayed, there are 3 areas that we can use to filter/search the results. In the upper right, Windchill will search the entire system. On the left is a Search in selected folders box. Both of these require a wildcard (*) before and after a string to return results. On the right is a Search in table box which does not require wildcards to filter the results.  We had one user who swears on an older version the Search in selected folders did not require wildcards but in Windchill 13.0.2.0, it does. Any insight as to why the one search works without wildcards and the others require them?

We are currently checking the possibility to create a interface from SAP to Windchill, While we are able to get the required attribute values from SAP and set it on EPM Documents , but these attributes values create a different entries in SLD* file properties using windchill attribute internal nameshttps://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS110292?source=searchI understand as per this article that this is expected behavior as we have explicit mapping for Designated Parameters. Is there a way to rectify this?

Like many of you out there, we are approaching a CMMC audit and certification. Windchill is a big piece and I would like to think we have things well in hand. I was thinking last night, wouldn't it be great if there was a document/checklist that was tailored for a typical Windchill install that aligned to each of the NIST 800-171 controls? I do not expect PTC to hand this out as a standard download, reference document since there are so many varied ways Windchill can be deployed. "Wouldn't it be easier if it all just blew away?" I could see this being a good, collaborative topic for possibly the Fed A&D working group or even customers in general since much of this is just good security and best practices. I can see the following table of information: NIST 800-171 control What is says What is means What is means to a Windchill admin or non-IT person What part of your Windchill install show evidence of compliance How to comply (or how NOT to comply/fail) Script or check to show com

Hi PTC community.We’ve recently discovered a behavior of the wcadmin user related to Describe by document update.1. We created a Doc Part NMBP-G1 with Releasable Describe by document NMBP-ICT for its first version.2. Upon release, it has the “NMBP-ICT” releasable document and a Releasable Report (parts list) linked to it. This is normal behaviour and what we expect to see. 3. Then I revised the Doc Part NMBP-G1 to version 2.2 via a CN and replaced the “NMBP-ICT” document with a “NMBP-SVD” document as the describe by document. 4. Then This Rev 2.2 of the Doc Part NMBP-G1 and “NMBP-SVD” document were then released.5. For some reason, We updated the previous describe by document NMBP-ICT and released on a separate CN. Upon release of Rev 2 of the “NMBP-ICT” document, wcadmin user adds the Rev 2 “ICT” document back in as a describe by document automatically to the original Doc part NMBP-G1 without notification. and also rev up the Doc part to version 2.3. &nbs

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I want to manage more projects in a programDescription: Good Morning,I would like to connect specific activities of different projects defining task dependencies by setting predecessors and successor. How can I do this?Thank you very much for the support.

I have created a custom change notice and change task workflow in my Windchill instance. The two workflows are based on the OOTB configurations for change notices and change tasks. When my change task gets to a state of "Implementation" the user can respond to a task put into their workspace with a vote of "Production". This will set the state of the change task to a state of "Production". The workflow for the change task is "Executed" at this point. The workflow for the change notice stops at the "Set Change Notice Resolution Date" task. In the process manager, this task is highlighted green and "Running". By looking at the change notice, I can see that a date has been attributed to the "Resolution Date" attribute. But when I check to see if the activity has any errors against it in the "Process Manager", there are messages saying that "Resolved is not a valid state in the Life Cycle Template". The next activity in my change notice workflow is the "Set State Resolved" activity. It loo

It is possible to edit attributes of a change task in Windchill. Does anybody know of a way that I can view who made changes of this nature, and when they were made?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Windchill Publishing is currently set to publish drawings using the As-Stored configuration. This ensures that a REV A drawing is never re-published using a REV B model, for example. But sometimes users check-in a model after the last time they check-in the drawing. Then the drawing publishes "incorrectly". Uses don't notice this because their workspace always has "latest" versions of the model and drawing.Description: Has anyone developed a customization or business rule to check that during a promotion request / change notice, that the drawing is more recent than the associated drawing models of that drawing.  I would be open to other suggestions on how to prevent publishing the wrong drawing other than changing the publishing configuration to "Latest".  If there was an option to check for "Latest Iteration" of the model, that might work, but I do not want a solution that creates the potential for a Revision mismatch. Years ago, I

We have our vaults set to 25K while the default is 50K and Microsoft says the 50K per folder is an okay limit. If we go back and change the limit to 50K and make the existing vaults writeable again, will Windchill start putting the files in vault 1 or continue with the last folder used and then move to the next new folder?

Hello guys, I'm setting up a new cad worker (creo parametric) to publish representations I've noticed that when Creo is called in background to publish something (eg pdf/dwg) it's ignoring my Env Var PTC_CREO_ALT_SETTINGS_PATH that points to our config.pro / config.sup on a network folder Instead it's usign the default ones in C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 11.0.5.0\Common Files\text I know that I can just replace the ones in  c:\program files\ptc\... as a workaround, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make it use the path in the Env Var Tried both the env var at system and user level, and also manually adding it in the launch script bats  (parametric.bat, that is called by the adapter, and proeworker.bat) but seems it keeps using the default ones. I know I've already faced this issue last time and used the workaround, figured this time i'd ask if anyone had a solution random infos:creo view adapter 12.0.0.0creo parametric 11.0.5wind

As mentioned in this topic.I have the same issue with the inability to identify the context type when creating a workspace from the Windchill home page. however, one of my TEST servers is currently exhibiting the desired behavior and i do not know what is different about this server. i have seen the same output in 1-2 screen shots for CS Articles in the PTC KB, but PTC TS cannot determine what is causing the context type to be shown after the name in ( ). anyone else experience this?   we are running wc12.0.2
