Windchill Customization

Hi @HelesicPetr I am doing one POC. Requirement is I have to update specific iba on ECN. Basically we have global iba on ECN and Container and IBA of container having value so now our requirement is we want to copy paste that value on ECN IBA while creating the ECN. So here can we use OIR or any custom algorithm to achieve this .   reference topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill-Customization/OIR-Update-for-IBA-Value/m-p/829884#M2883     

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Upload Primary Content while creating WTDocument through REST endpointDescription: I'm able to create a WTDocument by using the POST REST Endpoint, but now while I create the document, I also want to upload primary content through the same endpoint, is there any way to upload primary content while simultaneously creating the Document?

Added a custom formprocessor on Create document with preProcess() method and set the FormProcessingStatus as NON_FATAL_ERROR.If the condition-X is success then adding my custom message as pop up instead of showing it on banner notification and user should be able to complete the creation of document.  But i am getting one more additional pop up as Object creation successful instead of usual banner notification.Need this instead of second pop up Is this intended to work like this when we use NON_FATAL_ERROR? Or Am i missing anything here?Regards,Nikhil

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Custom Jasper reports not working on Windchill 13Description: Hello, none of our custom Jasper reports seem to be working on Windchill version 13.0.2.2. However, these same reports were working fine on Windchill 12 version. The issue seems to be with the delegates. Jasper engine doesn't seem to be able to find the custom delegates and throws an error- 'Procedure doesn't exist'. I have attached the method server logs. Kindly provide us with some suggestion on how to resolve this.Thanks

Hi All, Can anyone please let me know where Windchill Data model diagram is and how will I get to know the database table relationships. Just like we have IDA3MASTERREFERENCE in WTPart to IDA2A2 in WTPARTMASTER. I wish to know which column in one table has a relationship with another column in another table. Where can i get the Windchill Data Model Diagram. Can anyone please let me know how to get to know this database tables column relationships. Thanks and Regards, Aditya

Hello Greetings! I have developed a custom endpoint inside custom domain to fetch Documents of WTDocument subtype named "QMS Document" based on three input parameters "Library" "Folder" and "State", However when I try to call this service from Thingworx, unable to utilize "$top"  and $skip" parameters, since I need to allow pagination within Thingworx UI to select range of Documents to be displayed on single page, currently this functionality seems useless as I can see all the Documents fetched for specific folder within the library and cannot filter using range. I have used custom code to query Documents based on search condition for provided three input parameters. Need assistance whether this is possible to add classic OOTB query parameters in custom import.json

I have a report that pulls votes from esigned workflow tasks that is not working properly in version 13. I check the database in the SignatureLink table and noticed the following: Signatures created in 13 are stored differently so my checks are failing in code: //get signatures for ECN QueryResult result=PersistenceHelper.manager.navigate(ecn,SignatureLink.SIGNATURE_ROLE,SignatureLink.class,false); logger.debug("Got signatures:" + result.size()); boolean override=false; SignatureLink link=null; //check to see if override signature exists while(result.hasMoreElements()) { link=(SignatureLink)result.nextElement(); ... //is vote from CCB Review or Chairperson decision task else if ((link.getVote().equalsIgnoreCase("approve"))||(link.getVote().equalsIgnoreCase("amend"))||(link.getVote().equalsIgnoreCase("reject"))) //ignore sigs from override task Since SignatureLink is not in the JavaDoc, its likely that this is not a supported class, so if there is another supported method to re

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: We have several Configurable Reference Links connecting various types of Parts and Documents. When we have added the different objects to a Part, we would also like to be able to see on the object which Part the object is connected to.Description: Somehow I don't see the linked objects in the Reference Parent Objects table and I can't seem to find any help on the issue.Have I lost something in the setup? (Reference Links can easily be created and attribute values passed over)Any good leads on this?

Hello colleagues of Partslink, Does anyone have imported a csv/xml of Partslinks attributes massively with a global enumeration already created in Windchill? What do you write the specific collumn?Is it the internal name of the Enumeration created? I would assume yes. Thanks!!

Version: Windchill 12.0   Use Case: Automating BOM imports from an external process Description: I have a tool that exports out an Excel BOM to be imported into Windchill. Has anyone worked on a method for "import from spreadsheet" that is started from an outside process? For instance my tool could run some script that would automate the import from spreadsheet workflow in Windchill for a given Excel file path.   Has anyone worked on a script that does the import automation?   If it helps, we use single sign on so the user would not have to authenticate with Windchill.

I've been following the posts of the year's on Windchill development and how folks are managing their customizations and their steps for deployment. Being historically untrained and old school, I had opted for simplicity but these "bad habits" might be preventing me for moving forward. I have completed as restructuring of my Git repo and removed Eclipse compiled class files from its management. Just for context, I develop offline on my laptop pushing changes up to Bitbucket then down to the local repos on Dev, Test or Prod as needed. Feel free to throw stones at any point. I can duck, bob and weave.  Now, I have been exploring  methods to automate or script build and deploy to the Windchill directory. Ant seems to be what I've chosen to work with for the moment. Historically, I've made use of the wtSafeArea and wtCustom area to stage updates and the "installSiteChanges" to push into codebase.  I also started looking at tools.xml scripts and it seems that these were desig
