Windchill

Version: Windchill 12.1   Use Case: We want a manual input value for creating a large Part Structure. Where may be more that 500 new Parts should be created at once. Later we can modify the attributes and once completed can directly create BOM from there. Description: Current New Multiple Part creation functionality includes adding 5 rows at once. So to create thousands of items at once it will take lot of time.   This is required because part number we have to keep in sequence for all parts.   If we use 5 rows. there could be a possibility that some other user adds parts during that time and automatically system will not take number in sequence.   So if there is any preference or some kind of code which can be written to change the row adding behavior can help.   You can refer screenshot to understand what i mean.   Regards, Jignesh  

We need to configure a business process in which we are using the Default "Promotion Request Approval Process" that is available OOTB. We want to stop the users from selecting themselves as an Approver in the Promotion Process.PTC Tech support said this isn't possible. But doesn't this kill the process by itself? When the process isn't fool proof to stop the user selecting himself as an approver what is the use of it then? Is this achievable through any configuration options?Thanks in advance!

Hello, is there any OOTB functionality to disable creating a Change Notice on a version of an object which is already present in the Resulting Objects of another Change Notice?Because it can be quite a common business requirement that if there is an ongoing change on an object, I don't want to add another change on it before completing one change.Regards,Om Panchdhane

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: We need to get a process plan based on the process plan number and filtered by a navigation criteria. The Swagger API allows to do that by using the searchObjects Web service. However, there is, to my knowledge, no web service allowing to do that in OData. Is there a way to do this using OData web services?Description: We have some process plans (com.ptc.windchill.mpml.processplan.MPMProcessPlan) that are linked to a WTPart (via a com.ptc.windchill.mpml.processplan.MPMPartToProcessPlanLinks). The main goal is to get all process plans linked to a specific part, filtered by a navigation Criteria. The way we do it right now is that we use the searchObjects Swagger web service to get all the MPMPartToProcessPlanLinks linked to the part, and then for each number returned by this service, we use the searchObjects Swagger web service again with a navigation criteria as input and finally we check if the oid of the ProcessPlan returned by th

Hey...Does anyone know of a method to prevent multiple change notices being created for the same version of a WTPart or CAD Document?For example.I have a WTPart, CAD Model, and Drawing for part 12345 version 2.5A change request and change notice for one issue gets written against that set of data at that version.The change notice is still in process when... Days later, a second change request and change notice without knowledge of the first change notice, is written for a different issue, against the same version of the objects as the first.Two questions:How do you handle such a situation?Can it be prevented in the software?-marcCAD / PLM Systems ManagerTriMark Corporation

I developed an application in C# that retrieves information through a REST API from attachments, references, WTUser, and representations based on the EPMDocument idA2A2, except for WTUser. Later, I started encountering timeout issues with these APIs. The interesting thing is that when I switch the method server console to full screen, the timeout problem disappears, and this only happens with the APIs I mentioned. There are no issues with connections like WTPart. Is the reason for this that I am trying to process these APIs consecutively, or is there an issue with a setting related to EPMDocument in Windchill? Because, as I said, when I make the method server full screen, the timeout problem goes away. Should I try restarting the server?

Version: Windchill 11.1 Use Case: I am completing a reliability analysis using the MIL-HDBK-217 FN2 Parts Count calculation model. At the system level, I am using Method 1, Case 1 with calculated MTBF values. All parts are uploaded to Windchill R&R and verified that they are classified appropriately.Description: When calculating the system reliability, multiple parts return in a magenta/pink color after the calculation is complete. At first I thought this was due to them having a 0 failure rate, however not all highlighted parts have a 0 failure rate.  Does anyone know why parts are highlighted in this color when preforming the calculation. I looked through the contents of the help website, however could not find an answer.Thanks.
