Windchill Customization

In OOTB versioning schemes, revision behavior can be controlled using various properties such as delta, min, max, and skip list.I have implemented a custom file-based versioning solution and wanted to understand whether it is possible to implement similar custom properties to control behaviors such as skipping versions, setting minimum revisions, and setting maximum revisions.

Hi AllI’m have exported my custom table view one windchill server and trying to import it into another server using LoadFromFile. The output shows it has successfully imported but the view is actually not imported.Can someone help by mentioning what are important points to be considered while doing this or suggest where I may have gone wrong. Please note I have to use LoadFromFile utility only

I want to show richtext box for global attribute of document. Below thread has details of DU to achieve it however TextDisplayComponent.setRichText(true); is no more available and supported.Anyone worked on this kind of customization in windchill 13.0? 

Hello,I’m trying to create an attribute that could verify if a document posses a secondary content (a boolean would be enough) Once created, I will use that attribute in the advanced search’s view,  to be able to sort and show if the document has a secondary content or not I’m on Windchill 10.2, with my new standart attribute “HasSecondaryContent” in the type “Document”, but I don’t know how get the information about the secondary content into my attribute, or to add it in the list of attributes in the view modification’s window (I see it on the document detail page)Do you have some hints to help me create that attribute ?

Hi,My part lifecycle states include Development - Prototype - Released - WithdrawnOn revise from prototype or released the part will return to development state, and then a change notice is used to either transition Development → Prototype, Development → Released or Prototype→ ReleasedI have two types of change notice “Prototype Change Notice” and “Change Notice”, which have different workflows (different approval roles)I would like to limit the available release targets when a “Prototype Change Notice” is raised to only be the prototype state - “Preproduction” change transition (remove the Change transition from the list)This looks similar to the request here, but I cant see a solution - I have tried investigating the mapping rules, but I can only find how to limit target states based on the change object type, not on the change notice type it is withinThanks

I am looking for APIs to define custom view that I can use in Item picker.Looking for guidance if anyone created custom views through code

Hi all,I am creating a new Info Engine(IE) task. That IE task requires a string parameter as input and it calls another IE task inside. So in my new IE task, I perform a validation and when it succeeds I call another IE task. But if the validation fails, I need to throw an exception or communicate to the user about the error message. How can we do it? I am testing it using the PTC IE domain in WRS.

Hello,anyone could help determining how the workflow expression should be composed to get a conditional when a CN includes asm files in the affected objects.Thank you.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.5 We are currently integrating Windchill APIs with our Metadata Tool for API cataloging and lineage purposes. The schema is required by metadata tool in order to automatically parse and register the API endpoints and metadata. We identified that the following schema endpoint successfully returns a valid OpenAPI 3.0 JSON schema when accessed with Basic Authentication: https://x.company.ae/Windchill/protocolAuth/netmarkets/html/wrs/odata-to-swagger.jsp?v=7&d=ProdMgmt. We also tested generating a CSRF token using the below endpoint: https://x.company.ae/Windchill/protocolAuth/servlet/odata/v5/PTC/GetCSRFToken() The generated token works successfully for BOM-related API calls, but it does not work when accessing the swagger/OpenAPI endpoint above. Could you please check with the PTC/Windchill team if one of the following options can be provided: A token-based authentication mechanism for accessing the OpenAPI schema

We have a requirement for mass change quantity update, where we have 2 input text boxes in step 1 and in step 2 we have a table builder. The data on the table builder in step 2 would be based on the text box input from step1, but i am not able to get the value of the text box from step1 in the Nmcommand bean of the table builder. Could you please assist me here?

I am aware of this utility:https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS115390?source=search and database mods are sometimes easy to do but I think its time to sick an intern on this project. For those cases where I import some data that needs to start life at a higher revision other than initial, I need a clean way to alter the current identifier to something else. I can envision the UI being a simple drop down list or validated textbox for user entry but would need to accept a new version letter and alter the object. Supporting multiselect would be nice too. It also should handle erorr checking caveats to maintain sanity. Posting here if anyone else has thoughts and can supply some useful requirements I can fold in. Willing to share results with field when complete. 

I have a created a picker for WTpart and also created a new view using jcaconfigurable table to show only name and number.I am looking to change Number column to display as Similar Number,Is it possible to achive this?Thank you

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030-CPS16 我使用windchillPLM11.0产品，在对半成品部件使用定制开发功能（就是将半成品的Design视图信息（含EBOM中子物料）批量扩展到其他工厂（process）视图下），操作步骤如下：操作-转制造视图--选择要转的物料行--选择要转的工厂视图--确定执行。 在设计上，新转出来的工厂视图中的历史记录中有个“修改者”信息应该显示操作人账号本身，但个别账号和wcadmin账号在操作转制造视图时，新生成的工厂视图中修改者显示的仍旧是design视图的维护人账号。 针对这个部件--历史记录中的“修改者”显示问题，我需要咨询下原因。

I am aware of Fishbowl's MS Teams offering. I was not particularly interested in that type of customization. I was looking at more of user presence and communications. We've done some internal work at simple URL icons to invoke a Team's message to a user. This can be done via a Data Utility to add in a Teams icon and work similar to the email link.  From what I've read, to do anything more advanced, we would need to register an application in Azure, get an ID and use that to make calls via Microsoft Graph API. If I need to pull live information like online status info or a hover over popup, that would need some custom calls. What would be nice would be to have Windchill message users in Teams about events as an alternative to email communication. Its about time. I also see that PTC has the Windchill Office integration where you do the same thing, register it as an application. This means the foundational code is already there. Does anyone know where that might be or if the integra

Is there an API to retrieve affected objects for a nonconformance in Windchill QMS through the code

We would like to “react” to the loading of PDF representation on drawings (EPMDocument). The loading is done via the RepHelper  from Windchill Vieable Service in a separated process. Which event in Windchill should we listen at ? I thought ContentServiceEvent.POST_UPLOAD could be a good candidate, but i could not see it triggered during the load.

Our requirement is to fetch service effectivity information of service objects (publication group, textual content holder.. etc.) using windchill REST services.PTC support team has confirmed there are no OOTB API. Currently in Windchill - created this topic for product idea.

Unable to create Custom Service Effectivity even custom type registered in serviceEffectivityConfig.xml and custom type attribute created in Service Effectivity type .ServiceEffectivitiyConfig.xml ---serialNumberNModel is custom type.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><ServiceEffectivity><ServiceEffectivityTypes><ServiceEffectivityType name="serialNumber" renderer="com.ptc.arbortext.windchill.serviceEffectivityFilter.client.ui.renderers.configTypes.SerialNumberConfigType"/><ServiceEffectivityType name="date" renderer="com.ptc.arbortext.windchill.serviceEffectivityFilter.client.ui.renderers.configTypes.DateServiceEffConfigType"/><ServiceEffectivityType name="serialNumberNDate" renderer="com.ptc.arbortext.windchill.serviceEffectivityFilter.client.ui.renderers.configTypes.SerialNumberDateConfigType"/><ServiceEffectivityType name="serialNumberNModel" renderer="com.ptc.arbortext.windchill.serviceEffectivityFilter.client.ui.renderers.configTypes.Defa

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.14 When we create the Implementation Plan for our Change Notices, our Change Admins manually prepend the number of the CN to the Change Task Name field for the convenience of our users (when looking at their My Tasks tables). We would like to automate this process since it is time consuming for the admins. I have attempted to write code to do this automatically, but it seems that the API does not allow this after the object is persisted. I would like to understand why this is possible manually but does not appear to work programmatically. I see the Name field in the CA Master table but don't see an alternate "name" in the CA iteration table. Perhaps I am just approaching it wrong in my code.Code:wt.change2.WTChangeActivity2 ca = (wt.change2.WTChangeActivity2) primaryBusinessObject;// Get parent Change Noticewt.change2.WTChangeOrder2 cn = (wt.change2.WTChangeOrder2) wt.change2.ChangeHelper2.service.getChangeOrder(ca)

Hi All, some time ago I made a customization which automatically writes the values we want to the OOTB line number attribute in wtparts at check-in, using a listener.But as it turns out, reality is always more complex than the plan you have and your users say they want...As of now, I found no way to ‘unset’ (aka delete) an existing line number. That sounds strange, but maybe I am just not proficient enough to read and interpret the javadoc ...🙈The use case could be coined like this: ‘set the line number attribute of part usage id-xy (which, by the way, now has the value ‘123’) to an ‘empty’ value.‘So, right now the tool is writing the line number like this to the attribute:long NewlineNumber = 123;LineNumber TheNewlineNumber = new LineNumber();TheNewlineNumber.setValue(NewlineNumber);usagelink.setLineNumber(TheNewlineNumber);PersistenceServerHelper.update(usagelink);We have left the attribute with the OOTB constraints, so it should be possible to have an empty value:This works via the

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I am trying to bulk load part instance and part configuration objects into Windchill and to establish the links between them and the parts they are related to.Description: I was hoping to be able to do this with the REST API but it doesn't look like there are end points available to allow this to be done. Can anybody recommend an alternative approach to achieving the same goal?

We have a phantom item at the first level of the BOM that we do not want to publish as-is.The structure is:Parent → Phantom → Child partsIn Oracle, the expectation is:Parent → Child parts (phantom should be flattened)We are enabling one-level publishing only. Is it possible to generate the XML in such a way that the phantom is replaced with its child BOM (i.e., flatten the phantom during publishing)?I’m considering two approaches:Manually manipulating the XML, though this may be complex and error-prone due to multiple scenarios. Sending the BOM for phantom instead of phantom before generating the XML.Is there a better or recommended approach to achieve this?

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Doing wildcard search from a Navigate app by calling WRS endpoints like v7/ProdMgmt/Parts with $filter containing asterisks *. Description: Hello All,   I have a Navigate app, which queries for WTParts, currently $filter-ing by contains(Name, '<query>').   We'd like to extend it so that it supports arbitrary wildcards like "quick*fox*dog". WRS docs suggest we can enable wildcards via PTC-WildcardSearch header, but I don't see how it can be done via Navigate, which doesn't seem to allow me specifying custom headers.   As for now, I thought of working around this issue by and-chaining "contains" clauses and then filtering out false positives on the ThingWorx side. I'll appreciate better ideas.   Thanks, Constantine
