Windchill

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: I need to extract the check-in and check-out details of parts from Windchill data base. I located the table (EPM Document) and the column (State Checkout info) which has below values: 1. C/i 2. C/o 3. Wrk 4. Wrk-P I assume C/I & C/O mean check in and check out respectively. But what do WRK & WRK_P mean? Please advise.Description:  

Hello ,I'm working on a workflow notification system using Windchill OData REST API, and I'm facing an issue with user-based filtering.**Current Situation:**- When I call `/Windchill/servlet/odata/v5/Workflow/WorkItems` endpoint with Basic Authentication- The API only returns WorkItems assigned to the authenticated user- If I authenticate as "PLM-1" user, I only see PLM-1's tasks- If I authenticate as "oozcelik" user, I only see oozcelik's tasks**What I Need:**I need to retrieve ALL WorkItems across ALL users to build a notification system that monitors new task assignments and sends notifications to the assigned users.**What I've Tried:**1. Using administrator account (PLM-1) - still only returns tasks assigned to admin2. Using $expand and $filter parameters - no success3. Looking for different endpoints like /AllWorkItems - couldn't find any

I added a task out change task that is shall we say a good idea but not critical to the overall execution of the release. I notice that the these tasks are still running long after the change notice workflows are complete. I can manually go in and close them out since at this point, their need is no longer required. What is the best way to automate this?   I was thinking of adding a sync task that would spin up in parallel and when the change notice hits released state, close out this task. If the task closes first, it would close out the sync task and there by complete the workflow. Is this the only way to do this?

Article cs366586 refers to creating 2 mapping xml files. When I run the windchill wt.org.util.ReconnectPrincipalsUtility command below, it errors with mapping file not found. I assume that both the dnMapping and adapterMapping files need to be placed in a $WT_HOME directory before running the windchill comand. Can someone give advice on where these should be placed and if any wt.properties need to be set Thanks in advance TJ <dnMapping>\n       <reconnect>\n            <sourceDN>uid=$email,ou=<>,cn=<>,cn=<>,o=ptc<sourceDN>\n";           <targetDN>uid=$email,ou=users,dc=xxxxxxx=,dc=okta,dc=com</targetDN>\n";       <reconnect>\n<dnMapping>\n <adapterMapping>           <sourceAdapter>ne

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: We are trying to establish a FlexNet floating license server for windchill risk and reliability. The server installation seems to be fine, but client machines are not able to access the server.Description: Based on experience with other SWs, we are aware that our IT does not allow communication among computers inside our intranet (not sure why), we need to submit exception request to allow it case-by-case. During the license server configuration, we defined its communication port number, but IT still asks which program in the server computer needs to be allowed to communicate through this port. Without knowing much details, we provided the path of lmadmin.exe. However, after this exception request was approved and implemented, the license server still does not work. Can someone here tell whether lmadmin.exe is the right program that need to access TCP/IP port, and whether any other programs need accessibility to port as well? Thanks!

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Wondering if there's successful implementations of publish worker with File Synchronization for SolidWorks 2023 SP5.0 on virtual Windows Server 2022. Tried with (and some other combination also..) WWGM 12.1.2.1 and Creo View Adapters 10.1.0.0, but publish fails stubbornly with "WWGM ERROR: Loading addin "\x86e_win64\obj\swadapter_loader_net.dll" into SolidWorks failed". Windchill installation would be version 12.1.2.5 I know the above combination is not in the list of PTC tested combinations, but the one we have with SolidWorks 2021 is not either and it's working fine.Description: --

We are currently exploring an integration between Windchill PLM and Assent Compliance. As you may know, PTC has retired Windchill Product Analytics (WPA) beyond 11.1 and partnered with Assent to address evolving regulatory requirements such as REACH, RoHS, SCIP, Conflict Minerals, and IPC-1752B standards.I’d like to check if anyone in the community has:Already implemented or piloted a Windchill–Assent integrationInsights into what capabilities can and should be integrated (e.g., BOM data exchange, supplier declarations, compliance reporting)Lessons learned, challenges, or best practices during such an integrationAny guidance, references, would be highly appreciated!

Version: Windchill 13.0Description: We have customized a PRE_WORKSPACE_CHECKIN listener to process an attachment file and populate attributes on the associated CAD document during the check-in process. It works great, but sometimes users forget to add the attachment, which results in none of the necessary attributes being populated. Is there a way to throw a warning (or error that can then be bypassed) to the user during check-in to tell them they are missing the attachment? Ideally I would like to call this in the custom listener. public void notifyVetoableEvent(Object event) throws Exception{ if(!(event instanceof KeyedEvent)) { return; } //Object target = ((KeyedEvent) event).getEventTarget(); Object type = ((KeyedEvent) event).getEventType(); if(type.equals(EPMWorkspaceManagerEvent.PRE_WORKSPACE_CHECKIN)) { EPMWorkspaceManagerEvent wsEvent = (EPMWorkspaceManagerEvent) event; WTSet workingCopies = ((WTKeyedMap) ((EPMWorkspaceManagerEvent) event).getWIPMap()).wtKeySe

Hi Gents. I have seen this same issue as this topic: Using Major/Minor revisions - PTC Community, - how to interpret and structure "major.minor", as R&D Lead in several organisations. (Defence, Oil & Gas, Consumer Electronics), and have found this thread while trying to understand what windchill implements as standard. My take is this: Lets choose to interpret minor change as No NEGATIVE Impact on "FFF" **at the level of the item in question** AND NO change required to any production documentation, test procedures or impact on requirements.Major change is the converse of this. Rationale. In engineering assemblies, as long as the change we make on our part/assembly still meets the requirement on it with **at least** the same margins, AND impacts nothing else (as above) then it is **fully compatible**. It is a minor revision. The fact it may have improved something, is for the product manager to take advantage of at a higher BOM level when that becomes relevant for sales. Th

Hello,We’re currently looking for a solution to connect our ERP system, Infor Syteline, with Windchill 13.Could you let us know which tool or connector you’ve used for this integration?Thanks in advance!

I have a classification attribute named Colour with internal name COLOR,in the Constraints tab, I have assigned global enumeration which is having internal name Colour(COLOR_ABC). Is there any api available such that when I give an input of Classification Attribute internal name (COLOR), my output should fetch the global enumeration used COLOR_ABC.  @HelesicPetr  

I have created two attributes in Windchill that makes use of enumerated value lists. I have introduced cascading attribute rules against the object type which is associated to the two attributes. My cascading attribute rules stipulate that if a value for attribute 1 is set to X, then the value for attribute 2 should be set to Y. I have configured the "Create New Layout" for this object type to contain these two attributes. When I set the value of attribute 1 to X, attribute 2 does not display a value of Y automatically. Instead, the dropdown list of values associated with attribute 2 decreases to two to select from - a value of Y and an option to set the attribute value to blank. I want attribute 2 to be set to a value of Y without giving the user the ability to select between a value of Y or blank. I am aware that it is possible to specify that attribute 2 should not include any blank options in the dropdown list it is associated with. However, this will not work for me since I d

I need to find a WTPart/WTPartMaster that matches to specific partNumber, partRevision, View and Organization I provide. How can this be achieved by QuerySpec? Or is there any alternative?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Sending GET request to Windchill OData with 'LastModified' filter set to 2025-09-08T12:34:57Z: Windchill/servlet/odata/v8/ChangeMgmt/ChangeTasks?%24filter=LastModified%20eq%202025-09-08T12%3A34%3A57Z&%24orderby=LastModified%20descDescription: As result, I receive all ChangeTasks from 2025-09-08. It seems OData service doesn't check time, only date. Is there any solution to this? Other operators like 'gt' behave the same way.

Hello. Does anybody know if it is possible to achieve the scenario above? I have created a custom "Problem Report Workflow". The OOTB "Problem Report Workflow" contains a synchronize robot that should result in the state change of the problem report being set to "Resolved" when the associated change request is completed. I have replicated this config with my custom problem report workflow but I have adapted the synchronize robot with the aim of it synchronizing when the change notice completes. This is in ciontrast to it synchronizing when a change request completes. I'm not aware of any issues with my new workflow. However, I've noticed that I cannot add problem reports into the "Associated Process Objects" table when creating the change notice. Consequently, I don't think I have a way of my problem reports becoming "Resolved" at the same time as the change notice completing if I cannot add the problem report to the change notice as an "Associated Process Object".

Hi All,   Can someone please tell me how to get the View Rule Conflicts to hyperlink to be enabled on a task so that the user can click on it and see the error and fix the same?   Please find a sample screenshot below   This is required for Windchill 11.0 M030   So kindly let me know if any leads are there.
