Windchill

This is related to logging into Thingworx via Windchill, AD and case sensitive username. Noting these two articles where PTC has no plans to make Thingworx case insensitive. https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS259466?source=search https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS244222?source=search I am reading something here that does seem to alter the attribute value and make it lowercase. Just curious is anyone has tried it? I will give it a whirl but curious if anyone has a work around to this problem.   Side effect to switching to SSO, some of our users have their username with mixed case. All usernames in Windchill and Thingworx were created with lowercase user ids. Since the user no longer provides these values at login, it is pulling the value from AD directly which does not align with Thingworx Navigate account. Aside from touching all the accounts in AD to make them lowercase, I am in search of an alternate solution.

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Creating and reading a part with a particular security label value.Description: Security Labels come out of our WRS get calls as the Display Value, but they are required to be set via the internal db value. This behaves functionally like the EnumType value in WRS. Could this be enhanced to support this type so both values can be read from the API so it is more readily available to read back in.

I love deploying new things, ha. We tested and re-tested this but are seeing an issue live in production regarding SSO and esignature (reauthsecure configuration). I've been banging on it all morning just fine. Some users are working but others are not getting popup window to IDP when they click task complete. It comes immediately back and says "The user name entered does not match the user assigned to this task". I did not see a popup block message in the browser and I see the error in the MS. I am able to get it to work with a esig test workflow just fine and never saw this in pre-testing. Odd that its spotty which says config is right. Any ideas where to check?

I am developing an interface for Windchill 11. How can I notify other systems when the task is completed?

Hi,During the Change Notice Workflow, as multiple departments approve their tasks, I need a way to track all questions raised during the approval process and the answers to them. This would allow approvers to review these questions and answers before giving their approval. Does Windchill have this functionality? I found the Discussions feature in Windchill, and I’m curious if anyone has used discussions in their processes.Additionally, I am looking for an option in the workflow where approvers can approve, reject, or post a question. If a question is posted, it should go back to the creator for an answer, and all this should be visible in the workflow.I am looking for the best ways to handle this.Thank you.

Hi, I'm going to update Windchill, I'm at the stage of preparing the database on the target system. My scenario, the Oracle Windchill 11 database has Oracle version 12 and is installed on a different server from Windchill 11, and will be upgraded to Oracle version 19 for the database server on Windchill 12. What I want to ask: 1. In the guide that I read, before exporting to the target system if there is a difference in database version, the database export file from database 12 must first be imported into Oracle database version 19. Which means I created a new instance on a new computer for temporary database storage before exporting to the target system. Is it true? 2. The target database that I prepared for windchill 12 is a new database with a different SID with temporary storage. Is it true? 3. Finnaly, I will export the Oracle v19 database from temporary storage to the Oracle v19 target system database (Target database).is it true? 4. I read that in the Upgrad

Running into a scenario where I have a process that would have a set group of activities in a change plan that would be assigned to certain known individuals.   I know in the Change Notice template you can create an implementation plan, however users would have to still have to be manually assigned as assignee / reviewer (if applicable).   Has anyone approached this before and have a viable solution? I am not opposed to sub-typing the Change Notice or Change Activity type.

Can somebody let me know if it is possible to load FORMALIZEDBY link which is the link between problem report and change request by using LoadFromFile in Windchill
