Windchill Customization

I am aware of Fishbowl's MS Teams offering. I was not particularly interested in that type of customization. I was looking at more of user presence and communications. We've done some internal work at simple URL icons to invoke a Team's message to a user. This can be done via a Data Utility to add in a Teams icon and work similar to the email link.  From what I've read, to do anything more advanced, we would need to register an application in Azure, get an ID and use that to make calls via Microsoft Graph API. If I need to pull live information like online status info or a hover over popup, that would need some custom calls. What would be nice would be to have Windchill message users in Teams about events as an alternative to email communication. Its about time. I also see that PTC has the Windchill Office integration where you do the same thing, register it as an application. This means the foundational code is already there. Does anyone know where that might be or if the integra

Version: Windchill 13.1.2 Use Case: Windchill installationDescription: Hi, hopefully a quick answer to this one. I can't find the version of Amazon Corretto JDK I should install as pre-requisite to Windchill v13.1.2 on RHEL 8.10. What version of corretto should it be? Where can I find that referenced in the PTC documentation?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: The link below explains that it is possible to create add "Affected Objects" to a change task within a change notice when creating the change notice using a REST API call. https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill_rest_services/r2.5/en/?_gl=1*ylfb42*_ga*MjAzNzQyOTYzMC4xNjc4MTcyNTE4*_ga_1QBT6P6HR1*MTY3ODE3OTA5Ni4yLjEuMTY3ODE3OTA5OS4wLjAuMA..#page/windchill_rest_services/example_changemgmt_create_changenotice_mul_tasks.html#Description: I have been able to use this script to successfully create a change notice which features a change task with an affected object included on it. I have developed this script further in an attempt to also add "Resulting Objects" (see below). When I add this script into the request body, the interface reports no issues and it seems as though the call runs successfully. When I navigate to the "Changes" section of Windchill, I can see that the change notice was created along with the change task and affected object. However,

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Doing wildcard search from a Navigate app by calling WRS endpoints like v7/ProdMgmt/Parts with $filter containing asterisks *. Description: Hello All,   I have a Navigate app, which queries for WTParts, currently $filter-ing by contains(Name, '<query>').   We'd like to extend it so that it supports arbitrary wildcards like "quick*fox*dog". WRS docs suggest we can enable wildcards via PTC-WildcardSearch header, but I don't see how it can be done via Navigate, which doesn't seem to allow me specifying custom headers.   As for now, I thought of working around this issue by and-chaining "contains" clauses and then filtering out false positives on the ThingWorx side. I'll appreciate better ideas.   Thanks, Constantine  

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: The link below explains how to make custom attributes available in the criteria of an advanced search. However, I have noticed that I have custom attributes available that I can add to the criteria of an advanced search without following the process detailed in the article. https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/cs180432?_gl=1*cmfofr*_gcl_au*MjAyMjY0MTgwMi4xNzcwNzE2ODM5*_ga*NjYzNjgzODU1LjE3NzA3MTY1MDQ.*_ga_7NMP2MSYPM*czE3NzE0NDE4NjIkbzQwJGcwJHQxNzcxNDQxODcxJGo1MSRsMCRoMA..Description: Can anybody shed light on the circumstances that would require me following the process in the article?

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: We have a usecase where there are some child parts in a Product structure. These child parts are having the same classification node and likely the same classification attributes., but these are different part numbers for a business reason. The requirement is that it must be possible to select these parts with same classification , inside a PSB, and bulk edit the classification attributes. These parts are easy to find in the PSB as we use autonaming.Description: I have a custom wizard which has some other steps, and one of the steps is the bulk edit of classification attributes for chosen parts in PSB (having same Class nodes assigned).How to show the edit classification step in my custom wizard (as a wizard step)? 

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case:1. My client makes use of "Part" objects.2. They have a need to represent instances of these "Parts" as instances in parent objects.3. For example, my customer makes use of "Parent Part 1" and "Parent Part 2". "Child Part 1" is used in both parent parts.4. My customer has a requirement to make use of objects in Windchill to represent the different instances of the child part referenced by the two parent parts.5. These instances should be uniquely identified by serial numbers.6. It is important that the objects being used to represent the child part instances represent the form of the child part at a certain revision.7. It is not acceptable for the objects being used to represent the child part instances to simply represent the part master and not a specific revision of the part. It was previously suggested to me that making use of "Part Configurations" and "Part Instance" objects in Windchill is often not the best way to approach management of

Hello Team,I need to programmatically retrieve the Sequence value of a Change Activity (WTChangeActivity2) as it appears in the Change Planning / Execution Plan. Currently, the only method that works is executing a direct SQL query on the CHANGEPLANACTIVITY table.Example SQL (working):SELECT parent.SEQUENCEFROM WTCHANGEACTIVITY2MASTER camJOIN WTCHANGEACTIVITY2 ca    ON ca.IDA3MASTERREFERENCE = cam.IDA2A2JOIN CHANGEPLANNINGLINK cpl    ON cpl.BRANCHIDA3B5 = ca.BRANCHIDITERATIONINFOJOIN CHANGEPLANACTIVITY cpa    ON cpa.IDA2A2 = cpl.IDA3A5LEFT JOIN CHANGEPLANACTIVITY parent    ON parent.IDA2A2 = cpa.IDA3PARENTREFERENCEWHERE cam.WTCHGACTIVITYNUMBER = ? However, this is not a supported API approach, and I want to avoid SQL.I also tried using:ChangePlanningHelper.modifyPlan(...)Map<VersionableChangeItem, String> changeSeqMapBut this map only accepts sequence values for updates — it does not expose or return the current seq

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: How to customize the Thumbnail Navigator in order to show the buttons 'navigate Thumbnails' and 'Related Information' besides each other and not as in the ootb-way where one hides the other?Description: Since either 'Related Information' or 'Navigate Thumbnails' is constantly hidden and users (!) don't remember what they don't see, I wanted to make both buttons visible at the same time, as alternatingly pressed/unpressed buttons. Small fix, huge transparency improvement.Well, the question is now about which file to customize...?It seems to end up all in the huge ...netmarkets/javascript/util/ext-and-extensions.js , but I suspect that this is not the 'real' source which we would want to customize...I also think it's not 'officially' supported for customization, but nevertheless the layout must be defined somewhere... Has anybody a hint or an idea?Best Regards 👍
