I came across an interesting case that I did not see documented anywhere. I had a job fail to publish at the very end of its run: Jun 26, 2025, 3:21:04 PM:Done deleting temporary workspace publish13463010064453792551tmp.

Hi.I have a three-step wizard. On first two steps user can select wtparts and wtdocuments. On last third step the tree is created from previously selected objects.If user returns to first or second step to change selection of documents, how to refresh the third-step tree with new data?Thanks.

Surprised I was not able to easily find this. I was successful at exporting and importing my custom groups but I would have expected that when I exported the navigate_view_named_group or navigate_contribute_named_group and tried importing them to my new server, it did not like this. I get that this is an OOTB group and there might be some restrictions around it.  I have hundreds of users I need to populate to these groups so what's the recommended solution?  We certainly aren't expected to manually load all these users in one by one right?

Hi folks, I am looking into the possibility, need and touchpoints to integrate Windchill and MES. If anybody has done the same, could you share some light on the recommended middleware, and what should be the framework one should follow to do the integration. Thanks. 

Our NASA recently put SentinelOne virus protection on our production and test/dev servers. We have experienced some random issues with our Oracle database and Java runtime VM crashes. We also notice when the VM crashes, it wipes out the shortcuts to the Windchill shell, as well as overwriting the windchill.exe file to 0 bytes. Here is an example of the Java runtime error: ## A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:## Internal Error (safepoint.cpp:895), pid=2952, tid=13280# fatal error: Deadlock in safepoint code. Should have called back to the VM before blocking.## JRE version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment Corretto-11.0.19.7.1 (11.0.19+7) (build 11.0.19+7-LTS)# Java VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-11.0.19.7.1 (11.0.19+7-LTS, mixed mode, compressed oops, g1 gc, windows-amd64)# Core dump will be written.

Hi Everyone, I am currently working with SolidWorks and Inventor, both of which are successfully integrated with Windchill. The attributes are correctly mapped in the EPM Documents and are also visible within the respective CAD tools.   However, I’ve encountered an issue where these attributes are not appearing in Creo View when viewing the PVZ files, even though they are present in the native files. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? If so, I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to resolve this.   Regards, AJ

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.7I was curious how to compile just our custom Java code. I can't seem to find the right ant command.Should the Java files be put in /codebase/src/... and then I issue an ant command?If I compile our custom code to a Jar instead of several .class files, does this result in better performance? Where should the .jar file go?
