Windchill

Hello,I'm currently implementing an LLM chat box for Windchill 13.0 and need a secure solution to send a key to an outside service, which will be saved in the session and used to query the Windchill API to gather data. Security context is important, so I need to send a key for the current user. For example, I'm currently sending the wcadmin bearer token for testing purposes.The code for the chat box is in a JSP file, so I need to be able to fetch the key from that context.Thanks!

I am exploring the feasibility of developing a unified REST endpoint that enables the creation of Options and Choices, associates an Option Set with a Product under an Option Pool, and assigns it to a specific configurable WTPart. This endpoint would also facilitate the creation of a Variant Specification. While these actions are currently performed through multiple steps in the Windchill UI, my goal is to streamline the process into a single interface. This would allow users from non-Windchill platforms to access a Product and its associated WTPart, input specific Options and Choices, and generate a Variant BOM accordingly. I seek expert guidance on the feasibility and potential challenges of implementing this approach.

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Doing wildcard search from a Navigate app by calling WRS endpoints like v7/ProdMgmt/Parts with $filter containing asterisks *. Description: Hello All,   I have a Navigate app, which queries for WTParts, currently $filter-ing by contains(Name, '<query>').   We'd like to extend it so that it supports arbitrary wildcards like "quick*fox*dog". WRS docs suggest we can enable wildcards via PTC-WildcardSearch header, but I don't see how it can be done via Navigate, which doesn't seem to allow me specifying custom headers.   As for now, I thought of working around this issue by and-chaining "contains" clauses and then filtering out false positives on the ThingWorx side. I'll appreciate better ideas.   Thanks, Constantine  

Hi Guys,I am looking for a way to generate multiple individual BOM reports in a single run through Report Management. I have more than 100 object numbers, and each object has its own BOM structure.If anyone has a solution or knows how to achieve this, kindly share the details.Regards,Aj

Migration - Shall we install new OOTB "Windchill 13.1" in Azure VM server, create simmilar clustered environment , use Azure SQL in place of oracle and then migrate the data using export /import tools. complete resetup, coniguration, customization and user and data import from previous environment. 2.

I am using Windchill MPMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.1 Had issues with Multi-Valued attributes in MPMLink. Adding additional values would cause the additional value attribute and clicking the dropdown list to find the specific value would cause the attribute to disappear. The Value would then appear on the view info page as entered double. This was on 13.0.2.2. We received a patch (13.0.2.11) and now we do not see the bug currently in MPMLink. Can you confirm the patch to 13.0.2.11 fixed bugs specifically to multi-valued attributes in MPMLink?

We would like to “react” to the loading of PDF representation on drawings (EPMDocument). The loading is done via the RepHelper  from Windchill Vieable Service in a separated process. Which event in Windchill should we listen at ? I thought ContentServiceEvent.POST_UPLOAD could be a good candidate, but i could not see it triggered during the load.

Need to add custom action in Action Menu Toolbar.

We are currently planning for WTParts and we are trying to figure out how to manage attributes that are to be governed in SAP.  Our Current WorkflowFinished Goods (End Items) meetings are held to discuss necessary attributes to be entered into SAP   An Administrator fills out a spreadsheet with the required new finished goods. Sometimes there can be dozens of finished goods at once (even hundreds). The spreadsheet is sent to the SAP team for SAP import and part creation.Windchill Implementation AssumptionsWindchill/SAP Integration will be custom, 1 way (still to be developed) Some of the attributes for a Finished Good should not be managed in the WTPart, as they should be governed by SAP and any changes in SAP will cause a disconnect with the data in Windchill (due to the custom 1 way SAP Integration). We will be converting the current process from Excel and Email to Windchill. All attributes that were sent through Excel will be sent through Windchill. Windchill users will never want o

Hello Experts,We are facing an issue with 2D publishing in Windchill.The user is working in a Creo environment and attempting to publish a 2D representation for a Creo assembly. The assembly contains a few child components that originate from SolidWorks.When the user initiates the 2D publishing process, the publish job fails. We would like to understand whether the presence of SolidWorks child parts within a Creo assembly could be causing the issue and if there are any prerequisites or configurations required to support this publishing scenario.Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Could you please advise on the supported approach and any troubleshooting steps to identify the root cause?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Hello,In the legacy licensing model Base, Advanced, Premium, the Windchill Save As action was included in Windchill Base. Which license does this action correspond to in the new ePLM licensing model? Standard Author? Design Engineering Lite? Design Engineering?Thanks a lot Christian 

I have a great process for mass-printing or creating PDF’s from Creo View.  One of the key steps is collecting all the objects in Windchill and adding them to the clipboard. Does anyone know a way I can select an assembly, collect all the drawings of the assembly components and add them to the clipboard?  Anywhere I can get to that has the collection rules doesn’t seem to have Copy and anywhere that has Copy doesn’t seem to have a collector. Thanks in advance!

Hello, has anyone seen how this is done?Is this a new feature for Windchill 13?I normally expect to see the effective date on the details page and not the object header. https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill_esi/r2026.0.0.0/es/index.html#page/windchill_esi/esi_impl/ESIORACLEXMLSchemasPart.html
