Windchill

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: I wrote/compiled some code to collect and send to a messaging queue a part BOM. Part of this code has two custom classes (BOM, BOMLines). The return of my method is a List but the workflow expression says it "cannot find symbol" for my BOM class. Description: In the workflow expression I have:   java.util.List<ext.comp.BOM> myBOM = ext.comp.getBOMSfromECN(cn); ext.comp.Messages.sendToERP("BOM from ECN: " + myBom.toString());   Check syntax in the workflow doesn't like the ext.comp.BOM...   WfExpression_88956210.java:72: error: cannot find symbol java.util.List<ext.ursa.BOM> myBOM = ext.ursa.getBOMSfromECN(cn); ^     On the server I have a BOM.java and BOM.class. Originally I had both of my custom classes in my main code but a compilation error said these would have to exist as standalone .java, so they do.    How can I use my custom class in a workflow expression?    package ext.comp;

Version: Windchill 12.1   Use Case: Cant Retrieve the sequence number and its really pissing me off Description: Hey,How can I retrieve the sequence number for a WT.Part or WT.Document in Windchill using the API?When I create a WT.Part, the number is generated automatically, but I can't find a method to get the next number in the sequence. I'm using Info.Engine. Any suggestions on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Copy the values of attributes of a Subtype of a Part into another SubtypeDescription: Is there any API or a short way to copy the values attributes from an existing part which is a subtype (eg- Hardware Part) into a new part which is of another subtype while using an action to create that new part.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Working with Process PlansDescription: The Process Plan is automatically checked out e.g. when i allocate a part to an operation.How do I configure the system so only the operation object is checked out in that case?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I have a use case to hide custom table view based on user groups. e.g. view1 should be visible to users part of group1, view2 should be visible to users part of group2,. etc.Description: As a Windchill Admin, I know we can create and share a custom table view to all users or users part of specific Product.Is there a way to hide custom table view based on user groups?

Goal: We want an custom interface showing data from a separate tool within a custom Tab for given record. For Example: Windchill user navigates and open a Change Request 00006#. the View interface shows "Details:,"Process" and "History" tab by default. We want another custom Tab in-place which will appear for all Change Request records and opening the Tab will show data from third party tool linked to the parent record 00006#   Questions? 1. How can one add custom tab using(Java/ JS) in Windchill for a given  Artifacts like :"Change Request"? 2. how should on embed a custom Iframe with an external Url?  

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I am attempting to create a sample process plan to demonstrate the capabilities of Windchill for our company.Description: After creating a process plan with several operations, I was attempting to allocate an associated part to one of the operations. I am continuing to receive the following error message:I have had no issue linking tools, workstations, technicians, etc. Does anyone know why this is happening or any more details I can look into? 

Noticed this folder at my site level: I am assuming that this get purged and cleanup at some point. Does anyone know what process, queue or service handles that? What is the frequency? Gives you some insight to the sausage making to that app. Seems like what it does is gathers the content, creates a zip and stores that in a WTDocument at the site level. Then the download link gets that content.     

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Installing Windchill 12.1 OOTB, then install the Windchill Windows Service using the Ant script - now sets the Service logon account to (low privileged - good) "Local Service" instead of "Local System" (high privileged - bad). But, the default permissions on the installed Windchill load point do not allow "Local Service" access to all the necessary files in the load point to start Windchill Successfully (Windchill starts from an Admin Windchill Shell OK).Description: Hi, I think this may be new at 12.1 release (I can't remember seeing this at 12.0)? It seems that doing a default install of Windchill 12.1 via the PSI as Local Admin (which I think is preferred & documented PTC install process?) and then creating the Windchill Windows Service by running the ant script - creates a Windows service that logs on as "Local Service", but this user does not have read access to all the necessary files in the Windchill load point for Windchill t

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Represent a product in both the design state and manufactured state. Description: Does it make sense to refer to a product prior to manufacturing by the same part number it will have after manufacturing?  Should the end result of the manufacturing process be a new number (in Windchill)?  If the manufacturing is performed by an outside 3rd party, does that change your answer?   Use a weldment as an example and assume the welding is outsourced.  If the weldment is used in an upper-level assembly, should it appear as designed with all of the individual plates, or should it appear as a single inseparable (merged) object?  When a bill of materials is generated for the upper-level assembly, it seems like it should list a single part number for the purchased weldment, not all of the separate plates required to build the weldment.  Based on that logic, should the number representing the unfinished weldment be different fro

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Custom Renderer is not coming into effect even after being registered in service.propertiesDescription: How to register the custom renderer to take effect at the time of publishing.I extended the WTPartRenderer to override the adjustPartElement() method, but after registering the service class in properties file, the changes are not getting reflected. What steps do we need to follow to make this custom renderer work ?

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: I have a case where I need to be able to control the Subject Line that is displayed in the email notifications triggered by a Subscription. Running a WC 12.0.2.X system.Description: When creating a Subscription, on page 3 (Define Subject and Expiration), the user can input any text they want as the Subject of the Subscription.Therefore, when an email is sent, the Subject Line of the email is the characters inputted in the Subject.I need to be able to still allow users to input whatever subject line they want in the Subject field so that it is still visible in Windchill.But, I want to change the Subject Line that is displayed in the Emails. For workflows, this was fairly simple.I added the following script to the General.html file between the <html> and <head> tags:<SCRIPT language=Windchill> <!-- beginSubject --> </SCRIPT><SCRIPT language=Windchill> <!-- getInitSubject --> </SCRIPT><SCRIPT la

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: As per the article : CS162357, I have created a new Attribute for the User Object.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Hello Experts, Can somebody let me know if it is possible to change the view in the change summary tab and make it similar to the view, we have in the structure table?Description: We are looking to change the view in the change summary tab to the one for which we attached the snap, so that the user can know which of the listed items are on the highest level. 

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Changing the the Default, Latest or other views does not change anything.Description: For example, starting with the G50400319.ASM assembly.The use case tree indicates that this assembly is a member of G50486106.ASM, and that this is the highest level parent In the same image, other assemblies (e.g. g50486114_map.asm) indicate higher levels. However, if we open the asm G50486106.ASM, there are still 3 levels aboveAny thoughts why this happen?Is there any Report to create a multi level report and compare it with the OOTH Where Used tab?

We are on Windchill 12.0.2.18 on AWS with Oracle RDS . We are using Performance Advisor. However, it is not providing all the parameters  and required Dashboards.  We are exploring Zabbix and Grafana . However, these tools are best suited for System, Network and Infrastructure Monitoring . Any recomendadtions for tools that can monitor windchill Application and java Processes , like  -Check-in , Check-out ( Action Performance) ,API Health ,CAD related actions (Search, Add to workspace, Check ou, Open in Creo, Save And Check , Check in New Part)DB Query Active Users Server status (Windchill + Worker) up or down, JMX monitoring for jvm heapsize  etc .JMX Monitoring is one of the option , but has its own limitations. I am looking for more Versatile and Configurable tools like Zabbix& Grafana. Any recommendations . 

When I run the Change Summary Report the Description field is empty. We reverted our change objects back from Rich Text fields to basic text fields when the Rich Text was pushed out in Windchill 11. I found a post with the same problem here:https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Change-Request-Summary-report-Description/m-p/810977 In the old post, the reports were pulling the plain text fields, and the user was using the Rich Text. Now it seems like PTC has changed the reports to pull the Rich Text instead of the plain text. We don't want to use the Rich Text fields.  They don't add any value, and they can't be read with common report tools like SSRS. Has anyone found a way to have the new reports pull the original fields?Has anyone found a way to have SSRS read the blob? (We've looked at it and it isn't stored as RTF.  PTC does something to it before they store it.  Maybe compress it?  I read in WCH that the RTF fields are left out of tables bec

The yellow Notification Pop-up stays persistent for longer duration and appears over the necessary buttons like Actions, and Search filters.  The popup must not overlap on the buttons because this behaviour reduces the user's experience & efficiency, delays the work of the admin and is sometimes annoying. It looks like very legacy user interface. PTC should work on enhancing the user interface of WVS Job Monitor. Especially the notifications.
