Windchill

Hoping someone might have already solved this one and be willing to share their approach. By default any floating point number passed to an EPMDocument from a CAD file has the precision set to the max (14 I think), which means the value has to show using scientific notation, which is not easy to read. There is a configuration option to ignore precision, but then you lose all precision on all attribute values on all objects, which does not meet our requirements. Ideally I would like to control the display of those particular attributes to limit the number of significant figures, which is going to take some level of customisation. Perhaps modifying the data processor to change rendering for a configured list of attributes, or catching the store of the attribute value and reducing the precision.Has anyone tackled this issue, able to share any details or lessons learned?

Hello,We have monolithic Windchill Setup.Details:1. One Main Server2. Replica Server 1​​​​​​​3. Replica Server 24. Database Server As failsafe  in runtime, if the main server goes offline due to (hardware issues, OS issue, Network issue, etc) there needs to parallel redundant server.I have checked below articles about cluster for Windchill.https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS30922?source=searchhttps://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS436863?source=searchQuestions:What is the first step to move towards cluster or redundant environment?Is it good idea to have new separate application server and new separate DB server as backup?(These application and DB server needs to have same configuration)Considering emergency on application and database servers as well, then is cluster a good option?or is there a other solution that is available for situations like this?

Need a way to either schedule the report to get who added / removed users from site admin and org admin groups. Or this should print the details in logs without having to enabler lot of loggers which can potentially fill up space pretty quickly. This is extremely important because, we have a process which is driven by security to get the access , but without approvals if we see someone getting added even if its intermittent, we want to know who is performing such actions as its breaching the policy

Hello all,  I am currently working on a complex Report for ECR system. I have made a great progress by studying other threads and also found some QML´s. However I am now stuck in and I would need your advice. I was able to create a report able to track data in ECR, ECN + DT and examine complexity, how long it took (by calculation), etc.My trouble is to track activities in different objects. I was able to create a connection Change Activity → (Primary Business Object) → WORK ITEM → (Source) → WF Assigned Activity, that will report activities I needed however only for one of the Objects, but when I connect WORK ITEM with (Primary Business Object) to any other Object (ECN, ECR) I get no results.  Can you advice what should I to to get activities from all of the types in single report?  Thank you in advance. 

Every time I'm in my Windchill I try to open a part through CREO view it opens with my chrome browser, would it be possible to leave the EDGE browser as the default? I've already set it as the default in Windows and nothing.

Hello All,I would like to explore options for controlling user access at the context/folder level within Windchill.We currently have a requirement where certain users need limited permissions to view specific Windchill data. Could you please advise if there are available options to manage this through Access Control Lists (ACLs)?Additionally, I would appreciate guidance on how, from an administrative perspective, we can configure and enforce such restrictions effectively. 

Is there a way to search all structures/assemblies in Windchill to see where both Part A and Part B are used? Where used only take a single part as input. I would like a Where Used that can take multiple parts as inputs.

Hi everyone,After upgrading our environment from Windchill 12 + Creo 9 to Windchill 13 + Creo 12, we started experiencing a serious performance issue with Windchill Product View.The Product View interaction has become extremely slow — almost like watching a slow-motion video.Symptoms include:Rotation / pan / zoom lagging heavily Delayed response after mouse interaction Overall Product View usability becoming very poorThis issue did not occur in the previous environment before the upgrade.Environment:Windchill 13.x Creo View / Creo 12Things we have already checked:Graphics driver updates Server resource usageHowever, the issue still persists.Has anyone experienced similar Product View performance degradation after upgrading to Windchill 13 or Creo 12?If so:What was the root cause? Were there any specific configuration changes or patches that resolved it? Any known compatibility issues with GPU drivers or visualization settings?Any shared experiences or recommendations would be greatly a

I was able to create a configurable part with a BOM and associated parts with assigned expressions on when to use a part, however I ran into a different situation:I'd like to use PART (P1) for all configurations, hence no assigned expression.Also, I'd like to use the same PART (P2) for certain configurations (e.g., "OPTION" = A).For that, I'm adding P1 PART to the BOM (without expression), then another item P2 PART to the BOM (with a warning that the part always exists); when I assign the expression to the 2nd instance of PART, it also gets assigned to the first instance P1.I'd need a way to include multiple instances of a part in a BOM with separate, independent expressions.Is there a way to add a clear separated instance of a part in a BOM?Could you please advise?

Just a note for all when applying the security patch for CS466318. We are using SSO and have made the indicates changes to our web app as directed for Shibboleth. I had not realized that this patch rebuilds the HTTPServer configuration so some of my manual SSO changes were reverted.In particular, addition of “JkMount /Windchill/sso/* ajpWorker” to conf.d/30-app-Windchill-AJP.conf was wiped. This is documented here: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS394860?source=search where you fail to get back to Windchill from the redirect session hook. The requested URL was not found on this serverThe right solution should (I feel) is to add this like to the main template file that builds the conf file. This is documented here: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS394860?source=search. A but more complicated but I think safer from a reconfig perspective. Now, if anyone knows what templates need to update to change AuthType and ShibRequestSetting in the Auth conf file so that reconfig doe

In OOTB versioning schemes, revision behavior can be controlled using various properties such as delta, min, max, and skip list.I have implemented a custom file-based versioning solution and wanted to understand whether it is possible to implement similar custom properties to control behaviors such as skipping versions, setting minimum revisions, and setting maximum revisions.

Hi,  Can Change Notices have the Promotion Request? If yes, which WRS do I need to use to fetch the Promotion Requests for a Change Notice? Thanks.

Hello,i am trying to find a way to create a manufacturing view for a wtPart in a workflow.For example, when a promotion request is reviewed and the promotion object is Released, the manufacturing view should be automatically created. Until now this can be done manually via the menu: Actions → New → New view version. Is this possible?

Are you able to do ECN approval in Windchill Navigate or is it only Problem reports and ECRs?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Custom Data Utility Multiline Text Display Issue After UpgradeDescription: Hi there, I'm experiencing an issue with the display of multiline text from a custom Data Utility after upgrading our Windchill environment from version 11.2 to 13.0. I've developed a custom Data Utility which is used to display specific text information, retrieved from an attached Excel document, on the Attributes-Structure tab of WTParts( Thanks to @HelesicPetr  for idea 🙂 ).  This text data is structured to include multiple lines for readability (e.g., containing section headers and descriptions). In Windchill 11.2, this Data Utility successfully displayed the text with proper line breaks, effectively creating a multiline output within the UI field/cell where the Data Utility is rendered.  However, after upgrading to Windchill 13.0, the exact same Data Utility code now displays all the text as a singl

Hi all, I have the Part Configuration object. I have to load / bulk create 100’s of Part Instances with Serial Nos, by giving the serial nos and basic info in an excel sheet or .csv sheet.Is this possible? We are in Windchill 12.1.Alternatively, is it possible to create a new WRS domain for Part Instance and define some custom PUT/POST functions in it? Any experience on how this can be achieved.Best RegardsHari
