Workflow expression "cannot find symbol" of compiled custom class

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: I wrote/compiled some code to collect and send to a messaging queue a part BOM. Part of this code has two custom classes (BOM, BOMLines). The return of my method is a List but the workflow expression says it "cannot find symbol" for my BOM class. Description: In the workflow expression I have:   java.util.List<ext.comp.BOM> myBOM = ext.comp.getBOMSfromECN(cn); ext.comp.Messages.sendToERP("BOM from ECN: " + myBom.toString());   Check syntax in the workflow doesn't like the ext.comp.BOM...   WfExpression_88956210.java:72: error: cannot find symbol java.util.List<ext.ursa.BOM> myBOM = ext.ursa.getBOMSfromECN(cn); ^     On the server I have a BOM.java and BOM.class. Originally I had both of my custom classes in my main code but a compilation error said these would have to exist as standalone .java, so they do.    How can I use my custom class in a workflow expression?    package ext.comp;

Customization: Introducing a new Tab with custom content

Goal: We want an custom interface showing data from a separate tool within a custom Tab for given record. For Example: Windchill user navigates and open a Change Request 00006#. the View interface shows "Details:,"Process" and "History" tab by default. We want another custom Tab in-place which will appear for all Change Request records and opening the Tab will show data from third party tool linked to the parent record 00006#   Questions? 1. How can one add custom tab using(Java/ JS) in Windchill for a given  Artifacts like :"Change Request"? 2. how should on embed a custom Iframe with an external Url?

Subscription Emails: How to Customize Subject Line Sent Out Via Email?

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: I have a case where I need to be able to control the Subject Line that is displayed in the email notifications triggered by a Subscription. Running a WC 12.0.2.X system.Description: When creating a Subscription, on page 3 (Define Subject and Expiration), the user can input any text they want as the Subject of the Subscription.Therefore, when an email is sent, the Subject Line of the email is the characters inputted in the Subject.I need to be able to still allow users to input whatever subject line they want in the Subject field so that it is still visible in Windchill.But, I want to change the Subject Line that is displayed in the Emails. For workflows, this was fairly simple.I added the following script to the General.html file between the <html> and <head> tags:<SCRIPT language=Windchill>  </SCRIPT><SCRIPT language=Windchill>  </SCRIPT><SCRIPT la

Upgrade to Windchill 13 breaks REST API

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Previously working REST API GET example in Windchill 12 now throws a "The requested resource [/Windchill/oauth/servlet/odata/v5/ProdMgmt/Parts] is not available" error. Description: I had a set of examples in Postman working when we were on our Windchill12 installation. Upgraded to Windchill 13 in December and I went to dust of the examples. Same GET calls now throw this error.     For the sharp-eyed, yes this calls the v5 of the API that is deprecated. The same result, though, happens on the latest v7 version.    I confirmed that the Azure to securityContext.properties and wt.properties file settings are correct but Windchill 13 does have some additional lines in the securityContext file.    If I try the same from the Windchill interface, everything works fine for the same URL (sans the oauth piece needed for SSO).

Windchill default folder status in My Notebook

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: On the home screen of Windchill (using it in a browser), the My Notebook folders are always expanded by default when I launch windchill. I would like them to be collapsed by default.Description: When the folders are expanded, it forces unnecessary scrolling to get down to important information. I have tried changing the "left pane folder explorer" preference to "no," but that did not resolve the issue. I am unable to find any other preference that would make those folders remain collapsed by default. Does anyone know how to make that happen?

Can the ServiceLoader provide by Java be used in Windchill+?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: When running a custom service the service must be able to dynamically load classes that are described with their fully qualified names in a configuration file (or other form of storage depending on if the system is Windchill+ or not)Description: If I have understood things correctly I will not be able to use reflection in custom code that I want to install in a Windchill+ environment. Will I be able to use the standard ServiceLoader provided by Java? As mentioned in the Use Case I am looking for a way to dynamically load classes based on some type of configuration. In an on-prem environment I can easily use Class.forName to get my class but if I understand things correctly this will be possible in Windchill+.  Will I be able to use the ServiceLoader to have the same (more or less) functionality? If not, does anyone know of some other way to accomplish the same result? Thank youDaniel Martinsson

Issue with "Export List" Action on Custom Tree Table – No Data Exported

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.0.1When using a custom TreeBuilder to populate a tree table component with data from a JSON file, the OOTB Export_file action only exports the header values and not the data. The same data is correctly displayed on the UI but not populated in the exported Excel sheet. The custom TreeBuilder is mapping JSON attributes to a bean file, and the tree table is displaying the values as expected. However, the exported Excel sheet shows only headers without any data rows.Steps to Reproduce:Populate a tree table using a custom TreeBuilder with data from a JSON file.Verify that the data is displayed on the tree table UI.Use the OOTB Export_file action to export the tree table to Excel.Observe that the Excel sheet shows only the headers without data.Here are the errors that I facedIssue with "Export List" Action on Custom Tree Table – No Data Exported

Altering the package zip output for a Package

Coming out of the PTC/User conference, a high ranking request has been getting a decent export out of Windchill for a TDP in an efficient manner. I know I have seen a number of solution offerings for this and many of you have already tackled this. The package framework is a great start but I have yet to find someone who likes the default output it provides.  Has anyone identified the code that controls how this zip file gets generated? Or have you taken the approach to modify it post creation? I can see this as being on of the hurdles to more adoption of this feature. It should be a customization point so we can tailor how the output is generated and even put company themes on the resulting html file.
