Windchill

Currently we have a internal debate and we are looking for some lessons learned / best practices regarding implementing Maturity states on WT Parts. Currently we have more or less the default Lifecycle states for "all" objects (Parts, Documents, etc):In Work - Released - Obsolete - Under review We would like to introduce Maturity States for our WT Parts and we have vision on 2 options:Introduce Maturity as a global attribute on WT.Part. (Simple to implement, but lacking some control mechanisms)Implement a lifecycle for Part which reflect the maturity states. But keep the existing lifecycle on the other objects. (More complex to implement but seems to be more in line with Windchill designed usage)Is there anybody that would like to share some experience with this issue? Lessons learned from a similar implementation? Pros/Cons? Maybe other options? Should lifecycle states be used to reflect maturity states at all? Some reference documentation? Would it be best to keep the lifec

Hi, I just added a new property called "price" to WTPart. I want to know that, when adding children to a parent WTPart, are there ways to calculate and update the total price of a parent WTPart automatically, by adding the prices of its children WTPart together?  For example, A is the final product, B ($5) and C ($10) are children of A. First I create A, leave the price blank. Then I add C to A as a child, I would like to see the "price" property of A automatically updated to $10. Then add B to A as a child, the price of A is updated to $15. I'm using Windchill 12.1, just wondering if it's possible. I'm new to customization of windchill but have some experiences in Java programming, so if yes, could you please also tell me what are the steps I should do?  Thank you!

Hi expert,I am working on the updating the WC 13.0.0.0 to WC 13.0.2.0 I have below few questions-1.Instead of MOR WC 13.0.2.0 Can I directly go for the WC 13.0.2.1 Critical release? is this possible?Or we need to install first MOR 13.0.2.0 first and then install critical release Patch WC 13.0.2.1?2.

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: We use NX and Windchill... so yes, a bit of a long shot but relevant to Windchill references functionality 🙂 I'm working on rolling out several features and one of interest here has to do with drawing notes. Specifically, I'm interested in Material call out drawing notes. There's an article in the Siemens support pages on how to create and store standard drafting notes in the Reuse library that can dragged and dropped onto a drawing. These notes are saved as NX .prt files and can be associated to a WTPart - in my case a Material part subtype I intend to use downstream in the mBOM. However, the note itself when added to NX is not a part part but instead a drafting feature so once added there's no association between it and the model it's added to.Description: This Siemens article goes over how to create standard drafting notes and save them in the Reuse library within NX. I went through these steps from PTCs documentation on setting up a

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.0.1   In windchill, for the "security label" of the document object, it is assumed that the security label set for the document is "core" (core, normal, core security level is higher than normal), but the user is not in the core group of the corresponding "security label". This object cannot be viewed.How to configure it so that all users can only view but not download documents and other objects that have the security label "Core" set?Currently, users have permission control over folders, but some documents in the folder have a higher security level (core), and only core personnel are allowed to view and download them. Ordinary personnel also need to view core files, and after viewing them, they will be reviewed based on the actual situation.

Dear Windchill+ Read-E users, PTC has worked on some improvements to ease the upload process of WReadE (Windchill+ Readiness and Diagnostic Extension) output package that we want to share: Windchill+ Readiness Data Upload Portal-This automated service provides the ability to send the output package generated by Windchill+ Readiness and Diagnostic Extension (WReadE) to PTC.The Offline portal was implemented for a secure and trustworthy data collectionThe following enhancements are live now:Any user with valid PTC account from an organization can upload WReadE package specifying a Userid. The person that executes the WReadE tool doesn't have to be the one that uploads the package to the portal anymorePTC users can upload a WReadE package on behalf of a customer. This can be useful in case of any challenges with the upload portal.The ‘Most Recent Scans’ table has additional information - ‘PACKAGE CREATED BY’ and ‘UPLOADED BY’ columns.​Please remember – Enabling WPA sha

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: NX CAD worker (on VM). Just updated NX and went through the recipe and adapter files to confirm everything matches (ugworker.bat, ugstartup.bat, etc.) CAD worker fails to start from Worker Agent (monitor comes on). If I turn off the monitor there and manually launch ugworker.bat, everything works fine.Description: I updated my NX version on the CAD worker. The worker now doesn't start up automatically. The monitor starts but in the worker log there's a 8 INIT error. When I turn off the monitor and manually run the ugworker.bat file everything works fine.  When I did the upgrade, I updated the ugworker and ugstartup files to reflect the correct NX version. Not sure what broke the auto-start... but I'm sure it's something silly.  What did I miss? 

Do you have any idea how to pass parameter as input to jasper report input page.  

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Importing a STEP214 into the NX workpart, stores the log file in WorkspaceDescription: I'm debugging an issue we have been having with STEP imports into the NX workpart.  During my testing, I wanted to take a look at the STEP log file.  I should always get a log file, and when I do it's in the Workspace.  How do I get rid of them?  Second, third, etc. attempts to do the sTEP import results in "already exists in Windchill File System". So how do I get rid of the log file?  I can browse to the PTC Places location in Windows Explorer, but I can't delete from there while WGM is running.  If I close WGM and browse to the .wfs workspace location, the log file isn't there.  If I run Windows Explorer as admin, and browse to the PTC Places workspace, I can't, due to permissions. How do people deal with log files in their workspace?

I'm trying to create a DevOps style of Windchill development and need some community guidance.In a nut shell, we have 9 Windchill developers and we are all doing both configuration (inside Windchill) and customization (directly on the servers). We are having to duplicate the work between development, test, and production servers which is a colossal waste of time. Also, we currently have very little controls in place and our customer wants us to do better... they suggested we use DevOps.I believe I can use a git repo to capture and apply server side changes but how do I capture configuration changes saved inside the Oracle DB and apply them to other servers that have their own, separate Oracle instances?
