Windchill Customization

During configuration webservice client ant script converts Datahandler type to byte[]

I want to know that if checking in a part in windchill is having any data to trace whether which computer has uploaded it, like IP address or so........

The below method seems to be working great but I was curious, since it's not documented, if there's a better way to do link described-by documents to a WTProductInstance2. WTProductInstance2 instance = WTPartHelper.service.littleCreateDocLinks(instance, collection, false);If you are wondering where I found this, it's being used by PartManagementHelper in the createRelationship() method. This PartManagmentHelper is a class called by some form processors, one in particularly is for the wizard that adds described-by documents to a part instance from the UI. I could use the createRelationship() method, but it's making a couple checks I've already handled so I went straight for the gold. Thanks,ChrisWindchill 10.2 M020, CPS15

I need to modify our WTUsers fullName values.Is there an API that updates fullName?Thanks

I have a wtpart structure created by a cad structure and want to assign an expression from an external source. (preferably xml file) to it.I found the ITO loader method for loading whole project for options and variant’s. but when I use this method, Windchill creates a new structure in the existing end item. And is not using the structure created by Creo.I used the sample from the windchill dir <Windchill>\loadFiles\ato\demodata as a guide.Does anyone know how I can assign expression to the existing structure without adding wtparts?

Hello!Anyone who knows to to bulk retrieve attribute values?To bulk load lots of attribute values from a single persistable you would normally write something like below:PersistableAdapter pa = new PersistableAdapter(p,null,Locale.US,null);pa.load(attributeNames);for(String attributeName : attributeNames){  String attributeValue = (String) pa.get(attributeName);}However this only allows me to fetch attribute values for a single persistable at a time.I'm looking at a way to extend the code to bulk load a collection of persistables instead.Does anyone know if this is possible?Doing this by querying the database is quite easy but I would much rather use an existing API.Thanks and best regards,Peter

newly created product not listing for all users in Windchill 9.1Its searchable by admins not by common users.

Good Afternoon,While it is easy to create a report that returns all parts in a particular state, I've been asked to enhance this by including the date the parts entered this state.   Since we use primarily promotions, I think the date of the last promotion that affects the part would provide the answer.     Does anyone have some ideas about where this information is stored and how to string it together?Thanks

Dear Experts,We are trying to run custom CATIA API from WGM using tookit function:wwgmtkApplication::executeCustomCommand ()This is called from initialize() method of custom-dll registered in WWGM (customizationTK). It's crashing since this initialize() method is getting called before CATIA launched!.Is it possible to add a listened in toolkit when CATIA is launched or is there any work-around solution?(WGM 10 + CATIA V5 R24)Thanks for your time.Nathaniel

I work as an IT PM and am looking to build a general awareness of customization constraints within Windchill. I am in no way looking to become a developer. This knowledge would be used to enhance scoping activities with our business teams. Thank you!

I haven't tried, but I think I could do it this way:Starting with an EPMDoc, get the representation:        VisualizationHelper vzh = VisualizationHelper.newVisualizationHelper();QueryResult rep = vzh.getRepresentations((Persistable) epmDoc);Then get content files in the rep:        ContentHolder holder=ContentHelper.service.getContents(rep);        Vector contents=ContentHelper.getContentListAll(holder);Iterate through the vector: data=(ApplicationData)contents.get(i);and check each filename (data.getFileName()) for the .ast extension which seems to be an annotation set.Seems like there should be some simpler method. Anyone know a better way?

HI all,I have followed the examples on how to write a web service and then compile it.I used the example athttp://support.ptc.com/cs/help/windchill_hc/wc101_hc/index.jspx?id=IEUG_WSFWriteJavaWS&action=showAnd then to connect to this service I have used the example athttp://support.ptc.com/cs/help/windchill_hc/wc101_hc/index.jspx?id=IEUG_WSFWriteJavaWSClient&action=showHowever, this is where it falls over. (The client example is for a different service, so I have modified it for the MyJavaService example). I can get it to run from the command line exactly as the example shows, but I need to be able to access it from other places of course.I have written a simple project in Eclipse to access this example and this is the codeimport com.ptc.jws.client.handler.*;  import org.myorg.*;  public class testproj {     public static void main ( String [] args ) throws java.lang.Exception     {        

Is there any example to connect Windchill through web services client? Please share it if you have one....Basically I would like to download some documents from Windchill  by running some trigger (scheduled tasks) from other application...Condition: Schedule Tasks should be executed from other machine to pull data from Windchill....

I would like to know, how to integrate Isodraw to Windchill and Creo2.0? For example: The 3D model which we update in Windchill with Creo 2.0 must be automatically updated in illustrations, which I have worked in Isodraw 7.1.

We have a custom action that creates a popup window and have a requirement to set the height attribute to the client's available screen height. I have been successful doing so using javascript after the window has loaded, but with unintended consequences. Our customers like to manually resize the window and have it stick for that session, but each time they reload it (which is often) it resizes to the javascript settings.Is it possible to use custom actions in a way that screen.availHeight can be evaluated prior to loading the popup window? I've been very creative with configuring the moreurlinfo attribute but have had no luck.Thanks

Hi!I modify team of the promotion notice by code. But inside the workflow promotion notice team have the default value. What can be wrong?

hi

I'm trying to implement a custom action with inline message feedback in Windchill 10.0 M030.Here's my custom-actions.xml{code}[...]<objecttype name="part" class="wt.part.WTPart">  <action name="ps_send_to_plm">  <command class="ext.xxx.connect.menu.SendTo" method="execute" windowType="no_content" />  <resources>  <label>Transfer to SAP</label>  <tooltip>Triggers transfer to SAP</tooltip>  <icon>xxx.gif</icon>  </resources>  </action>  </objecttype>[...]{code}The menu entry is visible in the "Actions" menu for WTParts but when I click on it a inline message appears saying:"CONFIRMATION: Successful copy  Hello World object(s) copied to the clipboard"The "Hello Worlds" comes from my ps_send_to_plm.jsp and I figured out that the rest is coming from a JS method showCBMess which seems to be a method handling clipboard operations (e.g. copy).What am I missing here?
