Windchill

Hi folks, I just have a simple question in hand, why should we have a middleware in place when Windchill is being integrated with a downstream system. I know that it has the below advantages, are there any other points that speaks to the merit of using a middleware. i) System configurations does not need any update between different Windchill servers as the source and target system mapping can be done with a middleware.ii) The formatting and translation of the transferred content can be done and maintained in middleware. Any inputs is appreciated. TIA. 

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: When running a custom service the service must be able to dynamically load classes that are described with their fully qualified names in a configuration file (or other form of storage depending on if the system is Windchill+ or not)Description: If I have understood things correctly I will not be able to use reflection in custom code that I want to install in a Windchill+ environment. Will I be able to use the standard ServiceLoader provided by Java? As mentioned in the Use Case I am looking for a way to dynamically load classes based on some type of configuration. In an on-prem environment I can easily use Class.forName to get my class but if I understand things correctly this will be possible in Windchill+.  Will I be able to use the ServiceLoader to have the same (more or less) functionality? If not, does anyone know of some other way to accomplish the same result? Thank youDaniel Martinsson

You can see the data area increase graph of my windchill Production server.The curve you see here is constantly increasing at the level of terabytes and creates serious costs.How do you manage the space here, I keep all versions in the system, do you keep them too? Or do you have another recommendation? thanks.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.0.1When using a custom TreeBuilder to populate a tree table component with data from a JSON file, the OOTB Export_file action only exports the header values and not the data. The same data is correctly displayed on the UI but not populated in the exported Excel sheet. The custom TreeBuilder is mapping JSON attributes to a bean file, and the tree table is displaying the values as expected. However, the exported Excel sheet shows only headers without any data rows.Steps to Reproduce:Populate a tree table using a custom TreeBuilder with data from a JSON file.Verify that the data is displayed on the tree table UI.Use the OOTB Export_file action to export the tree table to Excel.Observe that the Excel sheet shows only the headers without data.Here are the errors that I facedIssue with "Export List" Action on Custom Tree Table – No Data Exported

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Product Container created using product container template should have default functionality of saving WT Parts and WT documents in specific folder and it show in creation page "Auto select Location" value. other product containers which are created using different template have the auto save location is /default for parts and documents. above can be achieved by OIR, but it can be loaded on newly created container every time after creation of product from template. instead of doing this, is there any process to attach OIR to template. whenever any new product created using this template should get the OIR.Description: Product Container created using product container template should have default functionality of saving WT Parts and WT documents in specific folder and it show in creation page "Auto select Location" value.above can be achieved by OIR, but it can be loaded on newly created container every time after creation of product from template.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Need same date in all released drawings whenever it gets released through promotion request.Description: As of now, we are getting last modified date in Creo drawing which is through Windchill attribute set in drawing template. Problem here is, a drawing which is last modified on 5th October 2024 is getting released on 10th November 2024. After changing the state from In work to Released, it prints the date 05th October 2024 in creo drawing.Ideally shopfloow guys will be confused with the date, as it is released today and date it is showing is older one.So to overcome this, is there a way to show released date or Promotion request completion date in Creo Drawing through any attribute mapping. If yes, then what and where should i get that attribute and how can i push inside Creo file?

In my project there is a requirement to download secondary/primary content and attachments. I looked for endpoint to do this in WRS page and I cannot find anything. I searched in this platform and found some suggested java scripts to do this. I however currently have no idea how to implement it in windchill. I will be thankful for the guidance for this customization if someone already did it or have any idea. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.Kind regards,

Coming out of the PTC/User conference, a high ranking request has been getting a decent export out of Windchill for a TDP in an efficient manner. I know I have seen a number of solution offerings for this and many of you have already tackled this. The package framework is a great start but I have yet to find someone who likes the default output it provides.  Has anyone identified the code that controls how this zip file gets generated? Or have you taken the approach to modify it post creation? I can see this as being on of the hurdles to more adoption of this feature. It should be a customization point so we can tailor how the output is generated and even put company themes on the resulting html file.

We are encountering an issue with multiple manage applicability. When I try to select more than 10 objects and right-click to apply multiple manage applicability, I see an empty space below the box. Although the applicability is present, only the first and last boxes are visible, while the others are missing. I have checked the JSP file but couldn't find any clues. Can anyone help me resolve this issue?I have attached the screenshot for your referenceThanks in advance.

Hi Guys,I have a question about a promotion request. My object is currently in Pre-Released status and I want to change it to Inwork status.My Object: EPM Document ACL:Rule 1: Read access can only be granted in pre-release states. Rule 2: Promotion requests are only applicable to change pre-released to in-work. If I only provide read access for EPM, I won't be able to create a promotion request. But if I provide a modification right, I can create a promotion request, as well as check-out also, I don't want check-out. Which scenario do we use here? Regards,AJ

Hi,  Is there any custom API or way to publish the required cad files to get the additional representation from thingworx. If any please help me to achieve this. Thanks in advance.

Can you tell me how I can set the default value for the OOTB WTPart attributes (End Item, Assembly Mode, Source, etc.) via OIR? We would like to set different default values across context.   Use case: We have a library for purchased component. These parts should have a default value of Buy for Source. We manage our own products in product containers where the default value for Source should be Make.

Hello All,I am looking for a way to provide the sequence to the Change Task through customization from the CN workflow. Is there any supported API which can be used to accomplish this?Regards,Karan

Consider, a part has new attribute added to it. Now, at the time of publishing, the user wants this new attribute to be included in the Response XML file that will be published. How to add this new attribute in the ESI Response XML file?

Hi We have been using Pro/Process for instructions in many years. Creo is interrupted when editing steps. PTC told me Pro/Process is not longer supported.   Is Pro/Process the same as Assembly Process Plan ? Is Assembly Process Plan supported ?     We are looking at MPMLink as Pro/Process is not supported and has failures. Is it possible to add Exploded views and simplified reps to the MPMLink plan ? If not, is it possible to create Exploded views and simplified reps in MPMLink plan ? Exploded views and simplified reps may be created in Creo Illustrate, but as it is twice expensive than Creo we are looking for an alternative. What should that be ?
