Windchill

Version: Windchill 12.0   Use Case: Automating BOM imports from an external process Description: I have a tool that exports out an Excel BOM to be imported into Windchill. Has anyone worked on a method for "import from spreadsheet" that is started from an outside process? For instance my tool could run some script that would automate the import from spreadsheet workflow in Windchill for a given Excel file path.   Has anyone worked on a script that does the import automation?   If it helps, we use single sign on so the user would not have to authenticate with Windchill.

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Hi, We are using SolidEdge since 2018, going through different Windchill-SolidEdge-CADi versions and we are constantly facing problems: - CAD data marked as our of date. - CAD data saved but not marked as modified. - Drawings published with the wrong attributes displayed. These problems are occurring randomly, but they have a huge impact in our activities. I have created several tickets with PTC and Birlasoft, but they have not solved the problem. Is anyone familiar with this kind of problems? Many thanksDescription: Problems apparently occurring randomly. After the check-in some CAD data is marked out of date, performing refresh or update is not removing the mark. Synchronizing the workspace can work, but often it's asked to check-out some data.Sometimes after the check-in the local modified data is replaced with the commonspace unmodified data.Sometimes the drawings are published with wrong attributes (the actual drawing shows the right one

I have a fairly large assembly checked in, I have removed all issues on the model and it fully regenerates without any errors or server warnings   However when I check it in, we cannot get the creo view to work, it works on everything else in the assembly, but not the top level, we just get a JOB FAILED   here is the log we get (names have been changed to protect the innocent...): " Job Log Jan 28, 2021 7:42:34 PM:Start Job: Assembly  - assy_core.asm, B.26Jan 28, 2021 7:42:34 PM:make temp dir D:\ptc\Windchill_11.2\Windchill\temp\pubtemp\publish2632647833872901899.tmpJan 28, 2021 7:42:34 PM:"As Stored" Config Spec is availableJan 28, 2021 7:42:34 PM:The EPMDocument As Stored Config Spec was selected as the defaultJan 28, 2021 7:42:34 PM:Start: Assembly  - assy_core.asm, B.26Jan 28, 2021 7:42:34 PM:Authoring Application: CreoJan 28, 2021 7:42:34 PM:Transferring Files to: D:\ptc\Windchill_11.2\Windchill\temp\pubtemp\publish263264783

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: When checking in new objects into windchillDescription: I am trying to check in a large number (>1000) objects into windchill from Creo.  When I upload and associate the parts it defaults to "Part". I cannot see a way to change this in any settings or preferences and it looks like the table requires each object to be editing manually. These parts are being used with WNC bridge so they MUST be an "Electrical Part". Any ideas how to do this?

Hi, Anybody help me for this issue. I checked out the part with family table and modified. Again I am checking back to from workspace then after I get the message .xxxx.prt is not editable in workspace and failed to upload   suggestion would be appreciate   thanks & Regards, Ram

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Taking hours of time to get ESI response file GenerationDescription: After we upgraded Windchill 11.1 to 12.1 and also to database update to 19c,we are seeing significant increase in ESI response file generation. In Windchill 11.1,BOM with 500 parts with Options and assigned expressions used to take less than one minute and now it is taking more than 8 minutes. In most of business cases, we release more than 5 BOMs in sign ECN and that is taking 40 minutes to generate ESI Response file. Checked with PTC,they are saying that is expected behavior but it is not the case in Windchill 11.1. Posting the message here to check If anyone experienced similar issue. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to install Oracle 19c for Windchill 12.0.2. I had it installed once on this server, but wiped it out to fix an error with the upgrade process. Now Oracle will not install properly. When I do the install, the setup program makes changes to the files in the folder that I am installing from even though I tell the program to install Oracle to e:\Oracle19c. The install files are in my c:\users home folder. I do not get a DB_Home created, so the PTC configuration for Oracle will not run. I have deleted all references to Oracle in the registry before each install try.

Hello PTC-Community,While writing JUnit Tests for my Project I found an error while trying to mock the wt.maturity.MaturityHelper class.org.mockito.exceptions.base.MockitoException: Cannot instrument class wt.maturity.MaturityHelper because it or one of its supertypes could not be initializedI am using mockito 5.2.0 and JUnit 5.10.0, I also activated mockito-inline as well which should enable supertypes to be mocked, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.Any Ideas would help, thanks in advance.

This is a share post. I was looking for a report that would list any Latest Released CAD Docs that do not have  a WVS Representation linked to them. The report looks for null values for the Derived Image. We all rely upon PDF and STEP generated files from the WVS service. When they do not exist, users can question the system's accuracy. Since the WVS publishing services are not 100% reliable, make sense to monitor for completeness. I know you can use the WVS Scheduler to just publish any by Context that are missing a representation. I also have WVS actions on search results toolbar. This way you can control what you republish. From this report, you can export to excel and target a search query and be specific on what you send to the publisher. My only issue with the schedule tasks is that you have no idea how many will be generated. This report gives you a quick check.

Hi, One of my clients wants to shut down the old Windchill server. They probably won't use old files from the server but they want to export them and maybe use some of them in the future.  Is it possible to export all data from Oracle Database using for example data pump and extract it? it will be possible then to open these exported files in Creo?  Thanks in advance.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: On my Windchill server there are multiple product contexts, but in one of them people are working with solidworks. Is there a way to prohibit publishing only in that specific context?Description: The goal is to prevent multiple failed jobs on the WVS job monitor and keep the queue free of unnecessary files.Also I don't have a solidworks license available to make a worker for these files.The only way I could find was to prohibit single files, so once a day I take a look at the WVS job monitor, filter for that solidworks context, make a prohibit rule, and delete it all.To configure a SolidWorks worker later on, I'm going to need to delete prohibition rules one by one or clean the table on DB.There's no clear identification on the DB table, and there are some rules that I don't want to remove.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.1.0Hello, While using AfterEDRloader, which adds Worker-generated documents to the Attachment section, we want to add an attribute created with Global Attribute in EPM Document to the names of these files. When we applied the solutions with our own experiments and PTC articles, we did not get any results. We need your help in structuring the AfterEDRloader.java file accordingly.

Hi Everyone, I’m currently exploring how EMX (Expert Moldbase Extension) and TDO (Tool Design Option) data can be effectively used within Windchill during the upload process. I want to understand more on this. What common challenges and issues may we encounter during the upload How can we anticipate and mitigate those issues before uploading Best practices, and suggestions we can provide to users to avoid errors For example, Change Management is typically not feasible for EMX assemblies due to multiple interrelated component dependencies. In such cases, a direct revision process is recommended instead of formal change objects. If you have experience, examples, or documentation related to these processes, please share your knowledge with me.Regards, Aj

Team, The drawing is correctly shown in SolidWorks as per the drawing. But after publishing, two lines are shown in the Creo view. 

We're about to implement reverse proxy and open up our Windchill system to about 500 vendors, each with access to just one Project.Current intensely studying / experimenting with both subscriptions and notification policies - attempting to set up such that Project templates will be helpful on this also.  Finding many very large gaps and issues / limitations. These relate to, among others:- cannot set up a subscription to a Role in the Project Team; only option is individual users or an Org-level Group- cannot (so far) find a way to trigger policy notification when a CAD Doc or Doc is shared to a project, or updated in the project (works for subscription)- cannot (so far) find a way to set up subscription for all folders in the project (works for any one folder)- have been customizing the emails; after two workshops with SME's, all said to eliminate most items, leaving only a message and a hyperlink - they now would like to add a fewMost powerful and robust for notification is to s
