Windchill Customization

I have a workflow task where I added a document link which the assignee clicks to download.  The link is the exact url as shown.  How can I rename this link to something a little simpler? eg. "CAF Form" http://alexandria.windsormachine.com/Windchill/servlet/AttachmentsDownloadDirectionServlet?oid=OR:wt.doc.

Hi all I have requirement to add a label/tag (like label feature in Gmail) to all Windchill objects( WTPart, WTDoc, CAD, Change),  for better categorization. Need suggestion on the best solution to adapt. I don't want either of the object to get iterated while association is created. Also i want the reporting on the label collection objects.I can create WTDocument subtype for the label/tag. But not sure which configurable link is good as i don't want to iterate. Also irrespective or the iteration/revision association should be maintained. Need your suggestion.

Hello,I want to create a WTDocument using windchill rest service there is an API under Document Management.Could you please help me for the providing proper input.The input JSON is below-{"Title": "","Number": "1234","Description": "Text","Name": "test","@odata.type": "#PTC.DocMgmt.EngDoc","SmallThumbnails@odata.bind": [""],"PrimaryContent@odata.bind": "","Thumbnails@odata.bind": [""],"Context@odata.bind": "Containers('OR:wt.pdmlink.PDMLinkProduct:188653')","Folder@odata.bind": "","Attachments@odata.bind": [""]}I am always getting "The binding link '' is malformed"  exception.Thanks!!!

Hii, I am unable to mock static methods while writing Junit test cases for Customizations. For example: the static methods ProcessHelper.checkRequestSubmitted(ChangeItem) and PersistenceHelper.manager.save(). If we dont mock this static method means, it requires method server to be on running state while running Junit test cases which is not recommended by PTC. I have also tried with all the powermock jars, but still not working. Can anyone help me how to mock these static ones?   Thanks, Naga              

Hi together... if I execute the following si diff command... si diff --r=1.1 --r=1.2 --project=#/BRK#ProductDevelopment/SubSystems/SsmPb/08_Software#d=IQM_INTEG_SsmPb_Core_A#SSM_PB_APPL/03_Integration/Project_Conf --hostname=skobde-mks.kobde.trw.com --port=7001 "version_config.ini" the CLI interface response contains the detailled differences between the two revisions (1.1 and 1.2 as requested): Showing differences ...Showing differences ...version_config.ini"version_config.ini": Differences between Revision 1.1 and Revision 1.22c2< SOFTWARE_NAME="113_70"---> SOFTWARE_NAME="114_00" Due to a general decision we I want to replace all Command-Executions against the CLI Interface by Command-Executions against the Java-API. But the Java API does not provide the blue marked details. I have the same problem when I execute the Command against the SOAP Interface. How do I get the missing details from the Java API/SOAP interface? ==========================Java

 I have also attached oir file. Please provide me with the solution. Thanks in advance Vipul gaikwad 

Hi,   Has anyone come across the below scenario. I would like to understand more on this.   We use the OOTB Promotion request Workflow process for an object and after raising a Promotion Request, in the Approvel Promotion request task when the approver sends it back for rework the primary object goes back to Inwork state. At this point in time, we need to restrict the users to create another Promotion Request for the Primary object, as the ACL would let the user to create a Promotion Request. Can this be achieved through any of the OOTB options or should we go only through the validator route and write a piece of code?   Thanks in Advance!   Amarkarthi.

Hello all, I have added an action to anonymize a user from Windchill and LDAP. I have also added the action in the pop up menu on the Participant administration page. However, I want that the action should be performed even when the user is not selected. This is similar to the OOTB delete action already implemented by PTC. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? Any comments or ideas will be appreciated. Thanks, I am adding the screenshots for the error message and the action . Thanks again,Ramsha   

Hello together, I am struggling a little with the incomplete Windchill API docu. I search for an API to get the EndItems for a specific product container. Anyone any idea how to do this? Thanks in advance       

Looking to implement the XPLM Integrate2 Client software that integrates Altium Designer to Windchill. We have implementation in our Test environment that partially works when creating Windchill objects from Altium/XPLM. XPLM is able to successfully create the WTPart in Windchill with auto-number generator for the PCB Part with no problem but fails to create the Schematic and the Project documents with an error stating that the auto-number generator failed with the following error which, of course, should be correctable by updating the OIR : "PlmError: Unable to generate next number for CAD document. Please check number generator configuration in Windchill" Problem is, we do not know which Windchill Type and OIR is being referenced/called by the XPLM Integrate2 Client. Does anyone else have experience with this? I am trying to work with XPLM Support but so far I have not been impressed. We're going to try enabling every DEBUG logger we can on the Windchill side

Hello, I have a requirement where I need to configure email notification being sent at the end of a change notice process to certain non-windchill users, the issue here is the list of email ids are not static for every change notice. It differs from object to object, the list will be determined by the creator of Change Notice at the time of its creation. There could an IBA configured to capture the list of email ids, but I want to know how we can send an email to this list, is it only possible through code or can we configure something in the Notification robot to achieve the same. Requesting you to shed some light on the same. Thanks,Sha

Hello, I have a workflow activity which gets assigned to multiple roles, lets say RoleA and RoleB. My requirement is whenever Rework was selected by any user in RoleA, RoleB's activity should get closed and Rework path must be taken. Only in case of Approval, both roles needs to vote. Background Information:i) The activity is of type Any and Required field is selected.ii) I introduced the WfTally APIs in routing expression, but they do not seem to be executed when one role completes the task. Regards,Sha

Hi,I want a sample input for create document service which is present under Document Management.Thanks. 

How can I re-assign a task in a workflow for Approve/Deny to a specific role, lets say CA1 role, instead of a specific user?  

Hi,I believe views of WTPart, "Design" for example, are mandatory information for consistent data in Windchill, but one collegue explained he show some installations that do not use those view. Until now, I though a part without view would be "corrupted data", imported thanks a spreadsheet.  Are the view "Design/Manufacturing/etc." simply a recommanded practice of PTC ? What would be the drawback of configuring per default no view on the WTPart (when no MPMLink is used)? I really interesseted in your opinions!

 Where is the location of the file that contains the information for the settings listed in Preference Management in Windchill PDM link 11.1? I created a new user in Creo Parametric 7.0.6.0 and my new user preferences in Preference Management are only show default settings.  I would like to import my settings from my other user Preference Management settings into this new user account.  Is there a way to import these settings from my old user account into my new user account?Perhaps I am not asking the right question with a location, how does one go about exporting the Preference Management settings and importing them for an individual user?
