Windchill Customization

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: assume for example if am creating new part and type should be A. i need to select lifecycletemplate based on type. it should show the lifecycle template drop down like A,B, C etc.Description: assume for example if am creating new part and type should be A. i need to select lifecycletemplate based on type. it should show the lifecycle template drop down like A,B, C etc

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.1 and Datecode with CPS 13.1.0.1Is it possible to show different list of values for selection for an attribute based on a value of attribute on the context. For example : In context , A attribute called 'Confidential' with Enum of 3 values "Yes, No, Partial'. In Part, I have an attribute called 'Preferred delivery' with Enum value - Electronic, Notification, Paper, Package.When I create a part, if Confidential=Yes on context, then the list of values for 'Preferred delivery' should only be 'Electronic', 'Notification'. If confidential=No, then then the list of values for Preferred Delivery' should only be 'Notification', 'Paper'. If Confidential=Partial, then the list of values for 'Preferred delivery' should be all enum values.Is this possible to achieve?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I want to be able to only allow a transition from state A to state B in my life cycle if the object using the life cycle has not been set to "Released" before.Description: Has anybody got thoughts on the best way to approach this? I was thinking about introducing some custom JavaScript on the server to identify an attribute that would allow the code to detect if the object had previously been released before either permitting the transition or throwing an exception. Or, introducing code into the workflow. 

Remove action on table header is pointing to our custom class, similarly i want the remove action on right-click of a row also to point to the same class.   

I just thought I would drop a note here, since I was not able to find anything useful myself when looking for a solution around this: "I have a group with duplicates how do I remove them, it is adversely effecting a join?"I have come up with this solution that seems to be straightforward, use it if you like it.EXAMPLE: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?><%@page language="java" access="http"%><%@taglib uri="http://www.ptc.com/infoengine/taglib/core" prefix="ie"%> <ie:webject name="Create-Group" type="GRP" >      <ie:param name="DELIMITER" data="," />      <ie:param name="ELEMENT" data="obid=A,color=red" />      <ie:param name="ELEMENT" data="obid=A,color=red" />      <ie:param name="ELEMENT" data="obid=A,color=red" />      <ie:param name="ELEMENT" data="obid=B,color=blue" />      <ie:param name="ELEMENT" data="obid=B,color=blue"

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: It is possible to assign a change task in Windchill to a user group. This will result in the change task being displayed on the home page of each of the users in the group when it is time for the change task to be actioned. If at this stage a user is removed from the user group that the change task was assigned to, it seems that the change task still remains available in the "My Tasks" table on the homepage of the user who was removed from the group.Description: I would like Windchill to prevent users from being able to complete a workflow task if they are no longer a member of the group that the workflow task was originally assigned to. Does anybody know if this is possible?

The PTC Help Center recommends overriding the getSpecialTableColumnsAttrDefinition() method to include new attributes.However, when I click "Customize" in the table view, all attributes for the selected object type already appear under "Set Column Display."Is there a specific reason or scenario where overriding getSpecialTableColumnsAttrDefinition() is needed?  

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Developing custom Windchill Java services to listen lifecycle state changes (RELEASED) and execute background logic; need guidance on required JAR dependencies and proper service architecture.Description: Hello everyone,I’m trying to develop on PTC Windchill using Javadoc-based APIs, but I’m facing some difficulties and would really appreciate guidance from experienced Windchill developers.1) Required JARs for IntelliJ IDEAI’m using IntelliJ IDEA for development, but I’m not sure which JAR files I actually need to add to my project.When I try to add all Windchill JARs, I get dependency conflicts.When I fix one library error, another one appears.I believe the real issue is that I don’t know the correct JAR hierarchy / minimal required set for Windchill development.My background is .NET Core, not Java, so I don’t have strong knowledge about Java classpaths, dependency resolution, or how Windchill structures its libraries. Because of this, I’m curren

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: In our customization, we use the SaveAsHelper class to duplicate some WTPart (and structure) and would like to "tag" the function used by setting a comment on the new WTPart, for example: "created by Copy Machine". Then it would be easier to track whether the SaveAs menu of Windchill was used or if the customization was used.Description: I cannot find a mean to set this comment/note on an pass it the the SaveAs function. I have tried setting "iterationInfo.note" as attribute in the SaveAsObjectInfo, but without success (nor error message).  final HashMap<RevisionControlled, AbstractSaveAsObjectInfo> saveAsObjects = new HashMap<>(); for (WTPart wtPart : partsToCopy) { final AutoNumberingHelper helper = new AutoNumberingHelper(containerRef); final String newPartNumber = helper.getNumber(wtPart.getTypeDefinitionReference()); final Map<String, String> ibas = new HashMap<>(); // checkin Comment I try to set, but t

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Custom Windchill Report download simply the template but no data insideDescription: I am trying to modify a custom report. However the Custom Windchill Report downloads simply the template but no data inside on my local Windchill ( hosted on VMWare). Tried adding Sys out statement and getting data on method server logs but still nothing inside the download files. Tried Exporting Importable spreadsheet report and it has data. So probably an issue with custom one but not able to catch it. Any clues folks

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Comparing values between an WTpart attribute and a WTpartUsageLink attribute, in a BuisnessAlgorithm - to use on a calculated value on WTpartUsageLink.Description: Following this procedure: Procedure – Using a BusinessAlgorithm in a Calculated Attribute togehter with this knowledge base: New java algorithm for calculated attributes (BusinessAlgorithm) starting Windchill 11.0  We have a calculated value on a WTpartUsageLink. This should compare an attribute from the WTpartUsageLink and the WTpart that it is linked to. The attribute from the WTpartUsageLink can be passed as a variable in the execute statement, but I have a hard time referencing the attribute from the WTpart.  Sample code or a pointer for referencing an attribute in this use case would be very helpfull. 

Hello,I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.17I want to add an alias attribute on the WTPartUsageLink to retrieve the value of a component attribute on a structure.So I created an attribute on the WTPartUsageLink type with the mapping "uses@wt.part.WTPartMaster~masterReference^<Internal name of part type>~<Internal name of attribute>"It works fine and I can see it in the structure, see the attachment.But there's a problem because when there are several iterations of a component, there are several PartUsageLinks and the alias retrieves the same values several times, see the attachment.Do you have a solution for this and what alias should be used?Otherwise, the primary objective is to bring up the value of a component attribute to fill an attribute on the top-level part.For example, if the value of an attribute is set to yes, the top-level part must have an attribute that is also set to yes.(even if there are several yes if several components

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Matching WTPart and EPMDocument numbers when using Save AsDescription: Hi all, We currently have WTPart and EPMDocument subtypes which receive auto generated numbers, snips of the OIRs below...WTPart: <!-- Set the number to M01234567 format --> <AttrValue id="number" algorithm="com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.revisionControlled.server.impl.NumberGenerator"> <Arg>M</Arg> <Arg>{GEN:wt.enterprise.SequenceGenerator:BOM_GROUP_seq:7:0}</Arg> </AttrValue> <AttrConstraint id="number" algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GatherAttributeConstraints"> <Value algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GetServerAssignedConstraint"/> <!-- Get the server to generate a number --> <Value algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GetHiddenConstraint"/> <!-- Hide from the user (have to leave it modifiable so that auto associate works correctly) --> </AttrConstraint>&nbsp

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I have the following requirements relating to how a custom workflow I have implemented treats objects as they are moved from state 1 to state 2. 1. The part number should be given a prefix which communicates the date and time its state was changed. 2. A check is made to ensure the part has not historically been at a state of "Released" before allowing the transition to complete.Description: Has anybody got a suggestion on how I can implement these aspects into my workflow?

Hello Team,We are currently evaluating the feasibility of integrating with Windchill using REST APIs (Windchill REST Services – WRS) and would appreciate guidance from the community on the following points:Recommended Windchill Version / WRS API SetSince REST APIs vary across Windchill versions, which Windchill version and corresponding WRS API set is generally recommended for initial API testing and validation?Windchill Cloud AvailabilityIs Windchill Cloud / Windchill+ available for customers?If yes, are there any known differences in REST API behavior or availability compared to On-Premise deployments?REST API AuthenticationWhat is the recommended authentication mechanism for Windchill REST APIs?OAuth 2.0Bearer tokenAny other supported methodAlso, does the authentication approach differ between Cloud and On-Premise environments?Swagger / Open API DocumentationIs there any official Swagger or Open API specification available that lists all Windchill REST APIs?If available, where can i

Hello, When we do a drag and drop of upstream child component to downstream view, when there are multiple downstream objects, in Add Object wizard all the applicable objects will be displayed. My requirement is when the Add Object wizard is launched, by default all objects should be unchecked. Updating the preference Paste as New Part or Paste as New Branch is not an option, requesting you to shed some light on the same. Thanks,Sha  

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Looking for an example class or documentation on how to use this functionality.Description: Has anyone created an external application constraint and have an example to share? There's zero information to be had on this functionality besides how to navigate to it in the UI. Does my external application need to extend a base class?Does it require certain methods and return types? I've gathered that this only gets executed when the "Advanced Logic -> Validate Logic" action is run - is this correct? Thanks in advance.

Hi,Is it possible to programmatically check the status of a CAD worker (whether it is online or offline) using the Windchill API? If yes, could you please let me know which API is required for this?Additionally, I am using the doPublish API to create STEP data representations from an EPMDocument. Currently, I have only one CAD worker configured for STEP translation, so the process is straightforward. However, if the system has three or four CAD workers configured (e.g., STEP, JT, IGES, etc.) and all of them are online, how does the doPublish API determine which CAD worker should be used for generating the STEP translation? How does Windchill select the specific worker for that translation job?Best regards,Shrikant Bhosle

In `configurableLinkRoleATable.jsp`, the method `getRoleBLinkObjects` from the class `GetOtherSideObjectsForConfigurableLinkCommand` is typically used to display the “side B” parts of a config link.Has anyone experimented with the related method `getLinkOtherSideObjects` in the same class and if so, what arguments did you pass? I’m curious whether it can be leveraged to show the *opposite side* of the link (e.g. Part B when I’m on Part A, and vice versa).My use case as mentiond above, involves a **custom ConfigMastersLink** where there isn’t a strict parent/child relationship — it’s simply two parts associated with each other.I tried like this, but couldn’t determine what other string parameters (besides `roleAObject` or `roleBObject`) are valid:<%-- Get a component model for our table --%><jca:getModel var="tableModel" descriptor="${configurableLinksRoleBObjectsTable}"serviceName="com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.object.commands.GetOtherSideObjectsForConfigurableLinkCommand"metho

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: When we send step files or other (annex) files for that matter we have a main word file describing the file(s) and some legal matters on not spreading data and other info. This is in Windchill and a PDF is created by a windchill worker. The step file or annex documents may be stored in the Content -> Attachments area of the document in windchill. I would like to setup such that the pdf generation grabs the attachments and adds them as attachments to the pdf that is generated. Ideally this would only be done when the Word file and subsequent pdf goes through the Promotion request to reach an Approved stateDescription: When we send step files or other (annex) files for that matter we have a main word file describing the file(s) and some legal matters on not spreading data and other info.

I tried creating a custom domain under oData by following the instructions in wrs_ug_1_5.pdf. But my new domain is not listed in ..Windchill/servlet/odata/. To make it simple I also duplicated one of existing domains, renamed it and restarted the server still it's not listed. What is the mistake here? Should we register the domain in any file like how we do for data utilities? Many thanks in advance
