Our business use case involves creation of a lot of products and seasons (FlexPLM) and hence the vault size is ever growing. Would like to know if anyone is aware of a effective compression (images/pdf) and archival mechanism that PTC clients can use to make sure vault size increases at a slower pace.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS M020-CPS24Some of the users in one of our Contract Manufacturers can see items that are in the middle of changes (In Work, Prototype In Work, etc.) in Windchill. We do not want that, only those that are released and locked down.I have different group access settings for some of the users and I was wondering if you could tell me which groups they should and shouldn’t be in to prevent this. Or maybe it is a setting somewhere else I need to change?Thanks,Pam
