Windchill Customization

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.14 When we create the Implementation Plan for our Change Notices, our Change Admins manually prepend the number of the CN to the Change Task Name field for the convenience of our users (when looking at their My Tasks tables). We would like to automate this process since it is time consuming for the admins. I have attempted to write code to do this automatically, but it seems that the API does not allow this after the object is persisted. I would like to understand why this is possible manually but does not appear to work programmatically. I see the Name field in the CA Master table but don't see an alternate "name" in the CA iteration table. Perhaps I am just approaching it wrong in my code.Code:wt.change2.WTChangeActivity2 ca = (wt.change2.WTChangeActivity2) primaryBusinessObject;// Get parent Change Noticewt.change2.WTChangeOrder2 cn = (wt.change2.WTChangeOrder2) wt.change2.ChangeHelper2.service.getChangeOrder(ca)

Hi All, some time ago I made a customization which automatically writes the values we want to the OOTB line number attribute in wtparts at check-in, using a listener.But as it turns out, reality is always more complex than the plan you have and your users say they want...As of now, I found no way to ‘unset’ (aka delete) an existing line number. That sounds strange, but maybe I am just not proficient enough to read and interpret the javadoc ...🙈The use case could be coined like this: ‘set the line number attribute of part usage id-xy (which, by the way, now has the value ‘123’) to an ‘empty’ value.‘So, right now the tool is writing the line number like this to the attribute:long NewlineNumber = 123;LineNumber TheNewlineNumber = new LineNumber();TheNewlineNumber.setValue(NewlineNumber);usagelink.setLineNumber(TheNewlineNumber);PersistenceServerHelper.update(usagelink);We have left the attribute with the OOTB constraints, so it should be possible to have an empty value:This works via the

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I am trying to bulk load part instance and part configuration objects into Windchill and to establish the links between them and the parts they are related to.Description: I was hoping to be able to do this with the REST API but it doesn't look like there are end points available to allow this to be done. Can anybody recommend an alternative approach to achieving the same goal?

We have a phantom item at the first level of the BOM that we do not want to publish as-is.The structure is:Parent → Phantom → Child partsIn Oracle, the expectation is:Parent → Child parts (phantom should be flattened)We are enabling one-level publishing only. Is it possible to generate the XML in such a way that the phantom is replaced with its child BOM (i.e., flatten the phantom during publishing)?I’m considering two approaches:Manually manipulating the XML, though this may be complex and error-prone due to multiple scenarios. Sending the BOM for phantom instead of phantom before generating the XML.Is there a better or recommended approach to achieve this?

I’m trying to create a custom REST domain with custom functions.  I copied an example to get going and it seems to initially work. However, when I then go to change the import.js, the updates never seem to take. I can actually delete the import.js and the custom function still work implying that the js is cached.Do I need to restart the server or clear some cache?

Version: Windchill 13.1 Use Case: for a new version of a tool we provide, we want to create a custom page with multiple tabs. currently we used classic simple html / javascript - but we want to upgrade to mvc components to maintain more the "windchill ui look"Description: at first I thought about using a custom wizard.a wizard has in general multiple tabs - but the concept isn't really matching as the tool should have tabs for different manage actions / checks. wizards reflect more a step by step process.I'm looking for a way to build a page like the windchill object detail pages.For tool I'm planning about 5 fixed tabs. each tab would have multiple tables, radios, checkboxes and input fields.Any suggestion how to achieve this?thanks in advance!

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Using the + sign on multi-valued attributes with enumeration or pick list is an awful UX design. Has anyone built a data utility or interface JSP to populate using drop down checklist or a multi-select check list (like the type manager has). Description: when selecting multiple values for an attribute, there is a + (plus) sign to add another row to pick more values.   All other interfaces in the world (including type selection in the search ) us pull-down checkboxes, or pick list    has anyone already built the customization to do this that can be easily plugged in.  (Hopefully would be universal to handle any attribute)

I have created a data utility on an attribute which opens a jsp when clicked. Now in this jsp i've created a wizard and added a wizard step. In the wizard step I have 2 table builders, so when i click on the Ok button i want to get the selected objects. But I'm unable to call a form processor on this wizard.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.8The IDs of a new BusinessRule and BusinessRuleLink are different in the Database than in the LoadFile.Does the ID in the LoadFile matter, or can it be any given ID? If not, how to maintain an overview over the loaded BusinessRules?An export from the Database would be convenient, but the IDs aren't matching with the LoadFile. So I'm not sure what is correct.

I have an attribute, so that attribute value wanted to map in Project Network as a new Network.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.6I have several Workflows where I use system print statements for debugging purposes. Here is an example: System.out.println("+++++++"); In Windchill 12 this statement appears in the Background logs, not 13. Is there a switch to turn logging on in 13?The history is "System.out.println" commands would be recorded in the Windchill logs for every version before Windchill 13.0. I do not see the logging anywhere for this output. Perhaps there is a switch in 13.0 that we are not aware of to direct system printing to the logs instead of some bit bucket.
