Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: We need to get a process plan based on the process plan number and filtered by a navigation criteria. The Swagger API allows to do that by using the searchObjects Web service. However, there is, to my knowledge, no web service allowing to do that in OData. Is there a way to do this using OData web services?Description: We have some process plans (com.ptc.windchill.mpml.processplan.MPMProcessPlan) that are linked to a WTPart (via a com.ptc.windchill.mpml.processplan.MPMPartToProcessPlanLinks). The main goal is to get all process plans linked to a specific part, filtered by a navigation Criteria. The way we do it right now is that we use the searchObjects Swagger web service to get all the MPMPartToProcessPlanLinks linked to the part, and then for each number returned by this service, we use the searchObjects Swagger web service again with a navigation criteria as input and finally we check if the oid of the ProcessPlan returned by th

I developed an application in C# that retrieves information through a REST API from attachments, references, WTUser, and representations based on the EPMDocument idA2A2, except for WTUser. Later, I started encountering timeout issues with these APIs. The interesting thing is that when I switch the method server console to full screen, the timeout problem disappears, and this only happens with the APIs I mentioned. There are no issues with connections like WTPart. Is the reason for this that I am trying to process these APIs consecutively, or is there an issue with a setting related to EPMDocument in Windchill? Because, as I said, when I make the method server full screen, the timeout problem goes away. Should I try restarting the server?
