Windchill Customization

I have 5 states, design, development, production gate, production change and production released.  When a user create a new CAD document it starts in design and has to go through the production gate to reach production released.  The production gate is intended for CAD moving from development prototypes to production and requires extra approvals. But there are times when production engineers need to create a part which do not have to go through the production gate approvals. Is there a way allow them to create a part in the production change state? I see in the ACL that there are permissions for create in the specified state but I'm not sure how to set the life cycle state before creating and checking in a new part. 

We are currently checking the possibility to create a interface from SAP to Windchill, While we are able to get the required attribute values from SAP and set it on EPM Documents , but these attributes values create a different entries in SLD* file properties using windchill attribute internal nameshttps://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS110292?source=searchI understand as per this article that this is expected behavior as we have explicit mapping for Designated Parameters. Is there a way to rectify this?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Windchill Publishing is currently set to publish drawings using the As-Stored configuration. This ensures that a REV A drawing is never re-published using a REV B model, for example. But sometimes users check-in a model after the last time they check-in the drawing. Then the drawing publishes "incorrectly". Uses don't notice this because their workspace always has "latest" versions of the model and drawing.Description: Has anyone developed a customization or business rule to check that during a promotion request / change notice, that the drawing is more recent than the associated drawing models of that drawing.  I would be open to other suggestions on how to prevent publishing the wrong drawing other than changing the publishing configuration to "Latest".  If there was an option to check for "Latest Iteration" of the model, that might work, but I do not want a solution that creates the potential for a Revision mismatch. Years ago, I

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Windchill is automatically re-linking a previously removed "Describe-by" document (NMBP-ICT) to a part (NMBP-G1) after the document is revised and released, even though a new document (NMBP-SVD) was already assigned. This auto-update, triggered by the system user wcadmin, also increments the part's revision unexpectedly and without notification, causing unintended changes in released data.Description: Hi PTC community.We’ve recently discovered a behavior of the wcadmin user related to Describe by document update.1. We created a Doc Part NMBP-G1 with Releasable Describe by document NMBP-ICT for its first version.2. Upon release, it has the “NMBP-ICT” releasable document and a Releasable Report (parts list) linked to it. This is normal behaviour and what we expect to see.  3. Then I revised the Doc Part NMBP-G1 to version 2.2 via a CN and replaced the “NMBP-ICT” document with a “NMBP-SVD” document as the describe by document

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Users need to be able to click on the task and be able to see at what step the workflow is in, what comments have been made so they know what they need to do next. Currently my new workflow fails to provide a hyperlink to view the workflow structure and comments for each step in the process. How do I fix this?Description: When the creator/initial assignee clicks on the Submit Document link and the task view is displayed, there's no hyperlink for the process text to enable one to see what the workflow structure is or at what point in the workflow the work is at, or what actions or comments have taken place.  Should have a hyperlink like in the image below so one may view the workflow and status information of the current state of the workflow like the other image below. What do I need to do to get the hyperlink to show up in my new workflow?Thanks for any help you may provide,Don A   

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Updating a custom WRS domain. Description: Hello All,   I need to do quite a lot of trial-and-error on my custom WRS domain, mainly manipulating .js files. Restarting MS every time to pick up my changes is annoying.   Since those scripts are interpreted by Nashorn anyway, I thought... maybe there's some magic trick (e.g. calling some MBean method) to reload them without restarting MS every time?   Thanks!

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.2Hello,We are currently using Windchill version 13.0.2.2 in our organization. We've observed that some users are attempting to access Windchill without being assigned any valid licenses. In such cases, the error message displayed is overly technical and difficult for end users to understand.To improve the user experience, we would like to customize the error page to display a simple and clear message indicating that the issue is due to missing Windchill licenses. I’ve attached a screenshot of the current error for reference.This request is of high priority, as the existing error page is causing confusion among users and generating unnecessary support tickets.Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Using a BAC in a CCD to update document templates, workflows, enumerations, attributes, and type.Description: Is anyone else having BAC Conflict Errors when loading a CCD package with a BAC? I'm testing the CCD on a dev server with updates to document templates, workflows, enumerations, attributes, and types. The first error I receive is BAC_DOCTEMPLATE_WITH_SAME_NUMBER_EXISTS. The BAC default conflict resolution is OVERWRITE and the service.properties file was changed to use the BACConflictResolver for BAC_DOCTEMPLATE_WITH_SAME_NUMBER_EXISTS. However, we still receive the conflict error. If I remove all the document templates from the BAC, I then receive ENUM_DEF_WITH_SAME_IDENTITY_EXISTS, ORGANIZER_WITH_SAME_IDENTITY_EXISTS, BAC_TABLE_VIEW_EXISTS, TYPE_WITH_SAME_IDENTITY_EXISTS, and WORKFLOW_WITH_SAME_IDENTITY_EXISTS errors. Within the UI, overwrite isn't an option in the event monitor for conflict resolution.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I am trying to trace how a part instance (not a part) develops over time. I know that with parts, it is possible to view revision and version/iteration history. However, this does not seem to be the case for part instance objects (with the OOTB configuration at least).Description: If I had an existing part instance that was associated with a part configuration and I then edited the instance to make use of a different configuration, it seems that I have no way of being able to see that the instance was originally associated to the configuration it was initially configured to use. This is unless I change the revision of the part instance. In which case, the "History" tab of the instance would show the differences between the two revisions. Is there any way I can track changes made to a part instance prior to any increase of the revision for the instance, like I would be able to track the version/iteration history of a part between revision changes?

When I search for the name of the group when specifying the participant within "Policy Administration", I am unable to find it.
