Windchill Customization

How to write a custom UI validator that runs on a Change Request, when 'New->Create New Change Notice' is clicked, can we use preUIValidation that checks the state of the Change request, and throw an error message/warning in the UI if state is 'Under Review', and it should let users create Change Notice when state is 'Implemented'. What are the files that need to be customized to achieve this?

Hello ,I want to display some data regarding Version History of document  (WINDCHILL 11) version , file name , state , comments ,modified by and last modified   

Dears. Now I have a custom attribute, he contains about 2000 values, I use the Global Enumeration defined constraints, so that the user can only be in the foreground page to select one of these 2000 values, but if user go through the drop-down box to select the desired value is a waste of time, does drop-down box can be added to the filter,  or there are other good ways to achieve it, thank you very much! 

team:I want to add DescribedBy documents (not CAD documents) to a part. It needs to automated, preferably by a python script accessing the OData API. It is possible to add DescribedBy links using POST Windchill/servlet/odata/v5/ProdMgmt/Parts(id)/DescribedBy but it requires some WRS configuration as described in this article:"Follow the steps to implement WTPartDescribeLink creation hooks." https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS285572   Testing this, I got an error:"Unable to create entity - Illegal link. \"OEM Part - 4199999-00, Toy Brick, CAG66, B.4 (Design)\" cannot be linked to \"Brick Install Instructions, CAG99, 1.1\" because both objects are not in a PDM context."   After correcting the context, the link could be created fine by WRS/OData. But that's not what we want. We want to keep our contexts as they are, and link across different contexts.   This brings up a question, I am curious. The link can be created manually across different contexts but not when usi

Hello, I am trying to upgrade my project from Windchill 11 to Windchill 12. I face the below issue when trying to compile the source code in eclipse. The error points to LoadPart.java file "The type wt.vc._MasterIteration cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files" I have included all the necessary jar files in the build path of the project but the issue is still there. Cleaning and re-building of the project also didnt help. Kindly let me know if anyone has any idea as to how to resolve this. Thanks,     

Hello Windchill Experts We have a Windchill 12.0.2.0 environment and we handle 3 CAD systems in it.All drawings are published as HPGL and PDF (PDFs available under "default" representation under files - see screenshot). We set up SOLR indexing and it is working so far good with all the DB fields.PDF indexing is also working for WTdocuments OOTB.Indexing Creo data could be activated through native data but with the other systems this doesn't help.  We are strugling with the published PDF content - I do not find anything in the documentation.In a indexed search webinar FELCO mentioned that indexing is also possible for additional CAD systems through published PDFs. Does anyone can give us a guidance how we can solve that? Thank you Marc    

can we pass distinct in windchill rest services expand queryMy input query is let expand="Components($expand=Part($select=ID,Number),PartUse($select=ComPolarisindPolarisIndustriesEngineeringSequences);$levels=max)"; how to get distinct of Number? 

Hi, Is anyone aware of how to programmatically attach the files (xml, txt) etc to the CAD Attachments section?? Thanks 

I am using Windchill PDM Link Release 11.1 M020-CPS16. When I create a Part with the "New Part" button, at the bottom there a option to create a CAD Document. Number and Name are automatically set on the CAD Document Tab. Although, I have Attribute1, which on Type and Managemente Attribute has the same internal name for WTPart and EPM Document, that is not being set. My question is, is there a preference or way to set this attribute on my wizard? Or this functionality will need a customization?

Is there a load file to rename a group?I didn't find any handler from csvmapfile.txt  

I have some script that has been working for months... String varName = <some text>;String varDesc = <some text>;<some code>wt.change2.WTChangeRequest2 cr = wt.change2.WTChangeRequest2.newWTChangeRequest2();cr.setName(varName);cr.setDescription(varDesc);<more code>cr = (wt.change2.WTChangeRequest2) wt.fc.PersistenceHelper.manager.save(cr); The result was a new Change Request with my preset field values for my business case.  As of today, this code fails on the cr.setDescription() call with the following message: Message: Resource bundle/Message key = wt.introspection.introspectionResource/21 I haven't found any reason or solution yet... but I am assuming someone has.  Anyone have some ideas?   

Is it possible to display name/number of drawing on a Change Notice? If so, is it possible to provide a link to drawing in the email, in the instructions? 

let expand="Components($expand=Part($select=ID,Number),PartUse($select=ComPolarisindPolarisIndustriesEngineeringSequences);$levels=max)";let Json = Things["Polaris.Windchill-Odata-Connector"].GetPartStructure({$expand: expand /* STRING */,ID: PrevOID /* STRING */,$select: undefined /* STRING */,NavigationCriteria: undefined /* STRING */});Iam using the above code in thingworx to fetch windchill data for the oid. I have to compare data of two different oid. Is it possible to fetch the partnumbers which is present OID-1 but the same partnumbers which is not present in OID-2 in single API call???

Hello, I am trying to set OIR for a WTpart.I want to get the name from an Enumerated List assigned to an attribute GROUP.When I create the part I get is the Internal name of the attribute (see part of  the code bellow).My question is how I get the display name of that attribute. ......<AttrValue id="name" algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.BooleanBranch">     <Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.EqualsTest">             <Attr id="genericType"/>             <Arg>variant</Arg>     </Value>   <Value algorithm="wt.generic.rule.VariantNameGenerator">             <Arg>{GEN:wt.enterprise.SequenceGenerator:variantnameseq:20:0}</Arg>    </Value>   <Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.StringConstant"          <Attr id="IBA|GROUP"/>&nb

I've read that baseWhereClause can be used to filter objects in pickers. https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS25075?source=search I added the clause to 'AddAffectedData' jsp in the server, but the UI is still returning objects in all states, the state.state = PRODUCTION filter is not being applied.   

Hi All, Hi @HelesicPetr  I have a Data Utility were I process the attribute values using the gatDataValue(). But the data utility does not get called for Common Attributes(allNonSchemaNonClassificationMinusClassificationRefIbas) in a WTPart.  If the attributes are listed maybe I can assign the selector in the Layout attribute properties but for Common Attributes the attributes are not listed but I see just one cell with value "allNonSchemaNonClassificationMinusClassificationRefIbas". Can anybody help me know why?  

Hi All,Trying to achieve attaching published files to go as attachments on WTPart.Got some info need to use after loader method.Any inputs on using custom Java file for same.Thanks in advance. Regards.

Not sure what I am doing wrong here but stumped on how to get the value to persist. I dont see the value in any of the method parameters (meaning if I select "No" in the drop down then nothing shows up in any of the method parametes aka BinaryLink, MethodContext, etc.) Not sure how this customization is supposed to work and the limited kb for this on ptc windchill help is not very helpful. Here is my github code. WCComboBox  also I was trying to follow along to this :https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/r12.1.2.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/customization/WCCG_BusLogicCust_ChangeMgmt_EditAttrChangeRelTable_Step3.html#

I am creating a report listing task details.One of the columns in this report is for the "Completed Date" of a task.I need help implementing a condition for the "Completed Date" column. The condition is:          If "Work Item.Status" equals "Completed"               then populate the "Completed Date" with "Wf Assignment. Last Modified",          else, leave "Completed Date" null/blank.How can I go about accomplishing this?Should I create two reports? If so, how do I merge the reports to see both completed and uncompleted tasks?Is this something that is done under the "Select or Constrain" tab or under the "Criteria" tab? TIA!  

I have a custom role called Engineering Manager. Can we show this on the Create Change Task form? I see Assignee, and Reviewer OOTB, but I want to add another role, which will be a user picker in the form.
