Hello,I am receiving an "Execution Timeout Expired" error in Windchill Risk and Reliability while performing a large-scale analysis/calculation on a complex system architecture.Steps to Reproduce: Open the relevant system tree / project. Run the calculation/report (e.g., Reliability Prediction / FMEA / RBD analysis). After a certain period, the application throws the "Execution Timeout Expired" dialog box (Please see the attached "Error.PNG"). Error Message: "Execution Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."   Thank you for your support.

Hello everyone,Our team is currently evaluating the integration of ZW3D with PTC Windchill as our PLM system. Before moving forward, we would like to ask the community about the compatibility, integration feasibility, and overall user experience regarding this setup.Specifically, we are curious about the following: Integration Without WGM: Is there a way to connect and use ZW3D directly with Windchill without utilizing the Workgroup Manager (WGM)? If so, what are the available methods (e.g., using specific APIs or third-party connectors) and what are their limitations? Workgroup Manager (WGM) Integration: Is there a dedicated Workgroup Manager or a reliable multi-CAD gateway officially available for ZW3D to connect seamlessly with Windchill? How stable is the data management (Check-in, Check-out, and revision control) for ZW3D files through WGM? Data and Attribute Mapping: Does the system accurately map CAD attributes and metadata between ZW3D and Windchill? Are there any known iss

Hi All,   Being a beginner in windchill, I would like to know about Workflows and Change Process in detail.   Thanks, Riyaz.

Is it possible to complete a workflow task programmatically using Java code?For example, I would like to complete a Change Notice task programmatically rather than through the user interface. Is this supported? If so, could you please provide some guidance on how this can be achieved? Best Regards,Shrikant Bhosle

Hi All,We are experiencing an issue where users are creating releasable documents (RD) by drag and drop a document/file into Windchill PDM. It looks like it is a base functionality of Windchill PDM that when we drag and drop a file into Windchill. it open up a New multiple Documents Window. By default, the document type is RD (releasable document). We want to restrict users to do that. We are looking for an option to either stop/block this functionality at all or the default type should be Reference Material (RM) while drag n drop. Since Releasable document requires a process to complete and includes a lot of mandatory metadata to fill in. We want Windchill system to not allow users to create Releasable document with drag and drop functionality. Happy to provide more details.We have Windchill PDM 13.0.2 version. 

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS N/A In Windchill, after I successfully import a translation package, the process runs normally, but the content within the translation baseline corresponding to the translation package still shows as 'translating' instead of 'translated'. This issue does not occur for all translation packages. How can I troubleshoot this problem?

I’ve used WWGM with Solidworks 202X for years with no issues.Recently I’ve been tasked to import a few hundred NX prts into our Windchill “commonspace”.We are on Windchill 12.X.After installing NX, I went to WWGM Application Management and added NX 2312.I see the WWGM tool bar when I launch NX but don’t seem to have a connection toa new workspace I created for this task.Some more information. When I start NX (unlike SW with WWGM) it launches WWGM itself.NX come up and has this message (I click okay with no other choices) “Unable to connect to WWGM. If more than one instance of the authoring application is running, the new one will run disconnected”.Also in WWGM the bottom message bar states “Failed to set workspace local directory” (strange as it works fine for SW).Any ideas?Thank you.

I'm looking to apply Option Choice filter, combined with Latest, View and State Filter on a WTPart BOM Structure in Windchill api ust like how we do in Windchill UI. Can anybody help?​@HelesicPetr ​@avillanueva

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

We are using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1 CPS M020-CPS08 and we want to migrate to new windchill  13.1.0 version.The current windchill environemnt is clustered with 1 master and 2 slaves server (slave 1 and slave2) running on RHEL, one software loadbalancer (apache server )and one DB which is running on Oracle and fileserver for physhical storage. Kindly guide in Finalization of upgrade path and procedure, or even this migration is possible and supported. i see below two options can be tried.1. 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?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.1 and Datecode with CPS 13.1.2.6 How to set a date for an end item. The date shall show when the end item is supposed to be released/ready for sale. Effectivity is for replacing existing objects, but can it also be used for initial launch of a product?

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.
