Hi, We want to develop custom validation using java class but we didn’t find comprehensive documantation about custom validation. You have comprehensive and very useful documents about Odata rest api, but I could not find a document about customizing with java. Do you have a comprehensive document about customizing with Java?

What are the different parameters/values can be used in service context tag while registering validators/data utilities?

When doing a Classification Manager export of parts link, it does not include any Instantiable data. Instantiable column is not coming in export sheet. The exportable sheet should also include the Instantaible property.

In Windchill, the "Material Type" attribute of a Part or Product is not editable through the user interface (UI), which aligns with our expected system behavior. However, we have observed that when updating Parts or Products via the Importable Spreadsheet functionality, it is currently allowing updates to the "Material Type" attribute. Is it possible to customize the behavior such that, during spreadsheet import, if a change to the "Material Type" is detected, the system blocks the import and throws an appropriate error?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: I am attempting to create a PartUsageLink using Windchill REST services: URL: POST /ProdMgmt/Parts('{PartId}')/UsesDescription: A Vanilla build of Windchill allows me to create a PartUsageLink using this REST endpoint. However, when we deploy our Implementation Partner's CCD build to our environment, that endpoint is no longer available. They are not sure why this is. There are no customizations or configurations done to any REST endpoints directly. What would cause this problem and how can I make this endpoint available again? Below is a pic showing the REST endpoint available in our DEV environment (Vanilla) vs. our INT environment (with configurations deployed).  When I attempt to hit the endpoint in INT I get this response: { "error": { "code": "OPERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED", "message": "The operation is not supported" } }  The POST /ProdMgmt/Parts('{PartId}')/PTC.ProdMgmt.CreateUses returns the same erro

I've been reading up on Afterhooks and post publishing so I think I am in the right area but looking for guidance as to possibility or different approaches. I have a need to combine a user generate PDF with an ECAD published representation. For quality reasons, at this time I do not think its possible to publish a good PDF off an .eda file (WYSISYG) and I have an archive of existing PDFs in representations to merge in. This is using WTDocs were the PDF might be loaded as secondary content. I've done this manually were I created a .pvz by downloading a published ECAD representation, adding a file and reuploading as a new representation. Works as I expected in that the .eda file and the PDF are visible when you open the representation giving users a choice. The PDF is also available for download from the Representations table. Check. I suspect that just adding a file to the Representation in code will make the PDF available for download from the Representations table but would not be vis

1. Our Windchill version is 12 CPS 17 using PDMLink/ProjectLink etc. Our industry is Aerospace and my role is a Windchill developer My objective here is below. In Part Structure tab, user could select the list of child and navigate to Viewing panel --> Show --> Documents, only displays the Describe document & Reference document.We would like to show the Secondary Described By document as well.Adding to this, Would be great if we can segregate the actions from Viewing panel --> Show --> (Instead of Documents), add Describe Doc, Secondary Describe doc & Reference doc, so that user can choose the required type and displays doc in the structure

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: We have different subtypes for parts, and each subtype has a custom icon. The custom icons are already configured. Many of these subtypes can be an end item. When "end item" is true on the part, we want to add a glyph to the custom icon.Description: I am able to create a custom IconDelegate following this documentation: https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/r12.1.2.0/it/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/customization/WCCG_UICust_PresentInfoUI_IconDelegates.html But I am not sure how to add more glyphs/adornments. I understand there is the IconCache cache with _addGlyphs() and mergeImages(), but I don't know what is the best way to add another glyph to the class. Has anyone done this before?My workaround would be to create another set of custom icons for each subtype, to be assigned when they are end items.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: At my company, we've been working on a business specific help wiki, using SharePoint. This would include help tutorial pages on how to do common business specific tasks, using business specific language. The idea of this is to reduce the amount of time it takes to bring new users up to speed, and to reduce the amount of time spent supporting users on tasks that they don't do very often. We want to make it easy to access this wiki by including a link to it from the Windchill help menu.Description: The question I have is "how do I customise this menu to add the extra link?". Up to now we've customised the header to include the link, but it would appear that option is being removed in the future, now the ability to add banners in the UI has been added, presumably for SAAS customers. Using the new banner option in the UI covers over where the link would be in the header, making it unsuitable for us. Adding the link to the company specific help page in
