I am experiencing a critical issue with generating Manufacturing Objects in Windchill 12 using the MBoM Loader. This process worked correctly in Windchill 10 but is now failing in Windchill 12.Process : I use a custom XML file (GEN.xml) to create manufacturing objects via command line and MBoMGenLoader.Command used : ( windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile -d path/GEN.xml )Issue: The XML file imports successfully with no errors reported in either the Method Server or Background Method Server, but the manufacturing object is neither created nor visible in the Windchill interface.The handler method specified in the XML (handler.createMBoMGen) is not being executed at all.DTD file :GEN.xml :Why is the handler (handler.createMBoMGen) not being executed during the XML load process ?I appreciate your prompt response.

Hi Everyone,    I am trying to set Classification attributes on a WTPart for windchill 11 M30 CPS 14.  I already have the binding attribute set, I am just having trouble setting the attributes.  I was able to get this to work using the PersistableAdapter and using the AttributeTypeIdentifier's toLogicalForm()) on my local install of Windchill 11 CPS15.  However this doesn't work on the Client's CPS 14 Windchill because toLogicalForm returns null.  I am not sure if this is a bug in CPS14 or if I am going about saving the attributes incorrectly.      /*** * @param workable - The Object being updated* @param bindingAttributeName - This is the name of the IBA for the classification binding * @param classificationNode - this is the name of the Classification Node to set into bindingAttributeName* @param attributeValueMap - <String,String> = <attribute name, value> - classification attributes and values.* @param leaveCheckedOut - use t

Do we need customization for Major and Minor revision or there is an OOTB feature in windchill 12.

Version: Windchill 11.2 Use Case: Just trying to read/modify Assigned Item Expression which is assigned to a WTPART, in the workflow and then i'll just assign expression to wtparts via workflow.Description: Hi there,First of all, I need to explain our daily use of Item Expressions. We usually assign an expression to a WTPART using the Assigned Item Expression. When I do this, we first move the WTPART to the Library where the Option Set is defined. We're using "Assign Advanced Expression" to assign the expression to the WTPART.What I am trying to do is print the Assigned Item Expression assigned to a WTPART in the workflow and then assign the expression to WTPARTs via the workflow. However, since this “Assigned Expression” attribute is a calculated value, we cannot retrieve it directly. We need to print it by capturing the relationship between the Option Set and Choice with the WTPART.There is a topic about obtaining Usage Expression in the forum, but with usage expression, this ex

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Need help completing my bash script to compile java files. Currently having issues with windchill class not found exceptions, I believe I need to include the .JAR files into the classpath, but am not sure how to do so.Description: Here is what I have written so far, the javac $file command is leading to class not found exceptions since I haven't included the JAR files:  I saw this article that briefly talked about how to do https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS324171 But I am using more than one jar file, probably about 50 in total. Need help figuring out what to do with them.

There are various API variations, such as POST, PATCH, and GET, for attachments in WTDocument within the REST APIs in WRS to perform operations on the document. My question is: Can we access the attachments in the drawing located in CADDocument through WTDocument? If so, can we replace the document there, such as a PDF file, with another file? If we can do this, how do we establish this connection?  

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Uploading CAD documents generates a sequence (00001234) number instead of name.Description: Our windchill system has always been setup such that any files that dont auto associate to existing parts are assigned a 10 digit sequential number. How do I change it so that files checked in are are given a number the same as the model - ASM001.asm associates to a part with the number ASM001 instead of 00001234?

How can I download primary content throug API? We are building an internal tool and are trying to extract EPM Document primary content and metadata from Windchilll PDMLink 13.We've tried with REST API, but could only extract metadata, without primary content.Can anyone point me to the right API that can be used for this purpose?We are also planning to create CAD Documents/Upload Primary content to them, so that is also something that we need to work on. Any kind of advice will help.

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Need to add logic to set the subtype of the wtpart based on an attribute value selected by the user on the save-as page.Description: Is it possible to get the attribute values selected by the user on the save-as page in the CopyWTPartDelegate? I have successfully extended the default CopyWTPartDelegate with some custom code, but I can't figure out how to get a string value that the user enters/selects on the save-as page for an attribute and use that value in my CustomCopyWTPartDelegate.Article https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS28799 states that custom attributes can be set on the save-as page since 12.0, and I have confirmed it. I have also seen that a listener approach may not work for this purpose: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS408331. I haven't tried it yet.
