Windchill Customization

Greetings,Little puzzled how users in a role (team members) have Reassign View on the wtPart when they don't seem to have been granted Modify Identity in ACL?I don't see Modify Identity on the wtObject either. Any suggestions on how the team member could have access to that action. I have checked ACL at context, Org and Site on wtObject and wtPart (including sub-types). I used a generic role but also check Team Members   

I want a new part instance to follow our standard versioning scheme, but it appears to be a different scheme (starts at Rev A). How is versioning controlled on part instances? I can't seem to find any information on this subject or a PTC support article.

Hello community! I am looking through the PTC | Windchill code right now and I am encountering a lot of if(RemoteMethodServer.ServerFlag) { run code } else { remoteMethodServer.invoke(...)} constructs. I am figuring this means something like "If the code is executed server-side then continue, otherwise invoke the method on the particular method server". But where would this code be executed, if not on the method server? Can anyone please give me a better / more technical explanation. Why is it important to use this construct and when should you use it? Thanks in advance and best regards

Dears, I have created a new subtype of change notice and a subtype of change task, when I create a new change notice for a part I need to define the change task, for this change task I am using my own defined subtype, when clicking on the completion of this task I need to use the I need to use a custom Form Delegate to check the lifecycle state of the resulting object when clicking on the completion of the task, I've already implemented it, but this customized function will affect all the change tasks, so is it possible to define the Form Delegate only for a specific subtype? Thank you!

Hello everyone, I'm currently in search of the Windchill customization guide PowerPoint presentation from PTC Academy which I have seen previously. This presentation contains code screenshots and other visual elements. While I already have the customization guide in PDF format, I'm specifically interested in obtaining the PowerPoint presentation. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.     

Our Client work has a need for development. Windchill 12.1.1.0 (12.1.1.5 release) is used. When doing change management and new product releases in Windchill, our designers have difficulties to inspect that all necessary items have been added to the change object (ECN / resulting objects). We can modify the WT-structure view to show "change status" column. That shows us a clear visual view to check that all necessary items (WT-parts) have been added to the change notice. Problem is that in assemblies CAD-structure view its not possible to get "change status" to be shown. The change object (EPR, ECR, ECN) is linked to every WT-part and CAD objects when the object has been added to the change notice. And it can be seen in single part CAD-view etc, but problem is that in bigger assembly views, single CAD-part "change status" cant be seen. The status can be seen in WT-structure view, when selecting the wanted WT-part from the assembly and under "Viewing" - "Show" - CAD

how to get Part List details from Related Objects tabs of WTPART through API(Service Information Manager)    

I defined a datautility to control the display text of some Attributes, but when I looked on the attribute tab of the structure Tab, I didn't see it as I saw it on the main attribute page(first Tab). When I debug the attribute of the structure tab, I found that it would enter the getPlainDataValue method of DataUtility. But the first parameter to this method is just the id of the registered datautility instead of the normal component id, so how do I get the original value of the component with datautility set?    

Hi, is any one aware of getting the file from Application data, I have a attachment XML as secondary content to EPM Document, I want the XML as File rather than applicationContent and pass the File as a parameter to other method. Anyone aware of this please add in your comments or suggestions. Thanks 

Is there a mechanism during workflow scripting where I can use the log level to control when they show? I currently use System.out.println statements to get messages written in the logs while debugging new workflow behavior, and then rip it out when it's done and ready for production release.  I would rather leave it in and turn it on or off with log levels.  What's the mechanism I should use?

Hello together, is it possible to change the text of the "Submit Now" / "Submit Later" Dialog in Change Request creation?I found an article to disable the dialog: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS79510But the text seems to be in a .class file. Is there a possibility to override it?Thank you.

 Hello Experts,I want to remove the user from groups using API .. license groups (e.g. "PTC Creo Data Management and Visualization License") & user created groups (e.g. "Advanced Viewing users") which are in turn added in license group by admin.  Problem statement: I am using below API to get the groups in which user is member, but it is pulling the pseudo groups as well, like output I have provided below. WTGroup.removeMember(wtUser), Windchill goes and delete all assigned groups and as well as pseduo groups associated to WTUser object. Which might lead to other issues for user. What is best possible way to remove the user from group which are visible in UI (without removing from pseudo groups)? Does anyone has code snippet which I can reuse? API:Enumeration<WTPrincipalReference> groups = OrganizationServicesHelper.manager.parentGroups(wtUser); OUTPUT:..*PRINT getPrincipal .getName() output* PRODUCT MANAGER*PRINT principalRef.getPrincipalSt

I am getting following error while running a custom class file as described in CS353022. Windchill is configured with SSO + OpenDJ.What could be the possible issue?  ..

We are trying to export a "report" that will show the CAD models related to a given Windchill Part.  Or the other way around; a report that shows what Windchill Part is related to a given CAD model.  We would like this to be able to search thru more than one given, but could even live with just spitting out the whole of the WT Part folder.  We also are trying to do so from a Windchill user standpoint, but might be able to get the Windchill admin to help if it isn't too involved.Any thoughts or suggestions?   Thanks in advance!
