Windchill

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: We use Gathering Parts to define subassemblies that are created in CAD for simplifying and streamlining the design and reusing parts. For example a part that is always attached with the same fasteners could be in a subassembly with all those fasteners already in place. These subassemblies are not needed or wanted in the ERP system.Description: Is there some way to make ERP Connector handle Gathering Parts the same way as they are handled when a BOM report is generated from an item structure? Now Gathering Parts are included in the XML message generated by ERP Connector and they just have the IsCadPhantom attribute in the BOMHeader message block to identify them as Gathering Parts.We would like to handle dissolving the Gathering Parts to their constituent parts already in the Windchill side because it would be really complicated to handle it in our integration middleware. The information needed for handling them is distributed between three differe

Hi,I want to search in Windchill for Primary Content attributes of documents but without succes. Is there a filter or configuration option/possibility to achieve this need?Specially for managing documents in Windchill this is necessary to prevent entering double attribute information when uploading a new document. Now we have to copy e.g. the original pdf filename into another attribute field to find a suppliers document.Has someone a solution?Regards,Bas

helloi have a CR which is at "create new change notice" task. whom the task belongs to is no more in the organization but he already had deligated all his future tasks to someone else. instead of going to the deligate, it is going to WCADMIN.so it means deligation only works when the user who is deligating his/her tasks is Active?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: For context, we are using Windchill+ which means we need to send CCD packages to PTC for deployment. This would also mean we cannot adjust certain settings and properties located in Windchill, as the PTC-managed deployment to TEST and PROD would cause issues. I created a custom java class that is called within a workflow. It has been compiled and deployed and is currently functioning in our dev system. I am now attempting to write unit tests for my custom java class. I have been following the customization guide, especially "Building and Deploying Tests in Development System", but while I attempt `ant compile.test`, it fails as it cannot find my package .Description: For context, we are using Windchill+ which means we need to send CCD packages to PTC for deployment.I created a custom java class that is called within a workflow.It is located in <\opt\ptc\windchill_customization\customModule\main\src\com\acme\customClass.java> as suggested in

How do you edit xml files stored in windchill. We use these for some of our NC processes. Windchill sees these files as Pro/E files so you can add them to a workspace. Once in the workspace you cannot export it or open it. Any help would be great.

How can I create an attribute as an alias in the Cad data for the IPE parameter found in the part data and map it? In my attempt related to this topic, the mapping code "builtBy@wt.epm.build.EPMBuildHistory~built^wt.part.WTPart~IPE" works for data with the same version and iteration. However, I only need the parameter value for that specific version; how can I achieve this?

Hello,With Windchill PTC I need to identify all slaves CavityAssignement under a MasterCavityAssignment.

Leadership is wanting to swap from a alphanumerical revisioning system to a purely numerical system. They understand that the changes can not be retroactive to existing components but still want to make the change to future components. Is it possible to setup windchills versioning and iteration system to reflect this desired change? This change would also need to effective for new parts that are created (instead of being A.1 they would be 01.1). Ex:Part A.1 once revised under the new system would be 02.1 (B.1)Part C.5 once revised under the new system would be 04.1 (D.1)

Hi, With reference to your response in this topic. We are following same approach on WTPart create Page from classification node taking description as value and using it to a update name of that part. But here thing is our custom function when we are calling in ootb .js then it works fine but as per article we should create a .jsfrag and then run the combine command to combine all javascript code in single.js file which is windchill-all.js. But in our case after running that command windchill debug.js file getting updated correctly but EMPTY windchill-all.ja file got created and that's why our Functionality is not working as expected and we don't want to touch ootb .js file. Please suggest the solution on the same where we are doing wrong thing.

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: When creating a CAD object and checking in to create a associated PART with owner links, sometimes (not always) the CAD object gets a visualisation OK but the PART is not visualising, instead it has a "open default config spec in creo view" instead of the 3D visual.Description: I would like to try to get an explanation to this behavior - its a little convoluted to explain, so hopefully this makes sense.create a CAD object and check in via WGM to create an auto association PART as ownerthe CAD object triggers a visualisation job and creates okthe PART doesn't trigger a job and is listing no thumbnail or visualthe PART has "open default config spec in creo view" instead and the content tab just list the structureIf you goto the PART and try to republish - it has a different wizard and settingsSome screenshots to helpthe PART with owner association

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Installing Windchill in Amazon AWS. Preferred architecture is EC2 (Windchill App server) and an RDS instance.Description: Looking for clarification on options to install Windchill (13.1) on Amazon AWS/RDS.  The research I've done implies that people have done this, but I've not seen any specifics on how this was accomplished. SQL ServerIn a perfect world, I'd like to be using Microsoft SQL Server on Amazon RDS.  The short of it is that this would allow Windchill and ThingWorx to share a database server (while having their own databases, obviously).  This would also help limit the number of EC2 servers that need manually maintained down the road.  I'm aware that PTC documentation states that "SQL Server RDS is currently not supported".  https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS255536 "Not supported" doesn't mean "won't work", so I've continued down this path for a while.  The issues I've found trying to lever
