IS there any API to change Created by and modified by of EPMDOCUMENT/WTPart in windchill?

Hello,   I want to introduce a filter for an action which should restrict a certain set of users.   The solution I thought was to associate the set of users to a group, created under Organization context, and the filter will validate if the current user belongs to the said group and if so the action will be hidden.   I used the below mentioned API to find the group based on the user but it is not giving me any output i.e. enumeration is empty Enumeration enumeration = OrganizationServicesHelper.manager.parentGroups(validationCriteria.getUser().getPrincipal(),false);   Please provide an alternative way or an API I can implement.   Thanks and Regards, Hari R

Hi All,I want to create a "Manufacturing" view for the part included in the Change task, but I want to do it only if it doesn't exist.Now I use this code without checking. And I want to add something like " if Manufacturing view for obj ==null then"  wt.fc.QueryResult qr = wt.change2.ChangeHelper2.service.getChangeablesBefore((wt.change2.ChangeOrderIfc) primaryBusinessObject);while(qr.hasMoreElements()){  wt.fc.WTObject  obj =(wt.fc.WTObject) qr.nextElement();   if(obj instanceof wt.part.WTPart)      {       wt.part.WTPart prt = (wt.part.WTPart) obj;       wt.part.WTPart ManufPart = (wt.part.WTPart)       ManufPart = (wt.vc.views.ViewManageable)obj, "Manufacturing")       wt.vc.views.ViewHelper.service.newBranchForView((wt.vc.views.ViewManageable)obj, "Manufacturing");       ManufPart = (wt.part.WTPart)wt.fc.PersistenceHelper.manager.store(Man

Has anyone gotten hotswap agent to work with Windchill? I tried jRebel last week and I was impressed but if I can get similar functionality with HotSwap then I rather not get into the weeds of Software Purchase Authorization at work especially since I'm not doing heavy Windchill customizations at the moment.

Here is my issue: There is a feature that is able to discard a part. But I don't want to discard the part when it is "Resulting Objects" in some ChangeOrder or ChangeRequest.I've tried to get the part's related changeorder, but when the part was being revised in ChangeActivity, I can't get the related changeorder with the part number because its version has been changed. Is there a solution can handle this problem?

Hi All. I have a requirement to store parts while traversing through a multi level BOM structure. So far I have been able to recursively print all the child parts but having a problem add all parts to a list or map ( only adds values of 1st level BOM but not other levels).Here is the code I am using; public static List<WTPart> getChildParts(WTPart parentPart) throws WTException {ArrayList<WTPart> info = new ArrayList<WTPart>();Map<String, List<String>> map = new HashMap<String,List<String>>();QueryResult queryResult= WTPartHelper.service.getUsesWTParts(parentPart, new LatestConfigSpec());// int structure = 1;WTPart part=null;if (queryResult != null){while(queryResult.hasMoreElements()){Persistable[] persistable=(Persistable[])queryResult.nextElement();part=(WTPart)persistable[1];printMessageToConsole(part.getNumber());info.add(part);//WTPartUsageLink partLink=(WTPartUsageLink)persistable[0];getChildParts(part);}}return info;} I am als

Hello, I want to introduce an attribute to a WTDocument, when creating a new object, users must be able to use this attribute and upload attachments to the document upon clicking on this attribute. The reason why I do not want to use Set Attachments is, I want to control the type of document being attached and validate if there is an existing document of the same type in the attachments before attaching a new document. I am thinking of introducing a data utility where I can use GUIComponent to implement this requirement, I wanted to know if there is any other way to achieve this requirement, kindly share your options. Thanks.

Hello everybody, I need kindly your support to try to understand the accesses rights menagement in PDMLink. If I delete an access to a single user context, it is no longer possible to open the assembled file which instead contains references to so many contexts.This is an example.The structure of the file XXX.asm contains parts that refer to the following contexts:EH0001_PARTS_IN_BODY_SERIESEH0002_COMPACT_DIRECTIONAL_VALVES_SERIESEH0003_MECHANICAL_VALVE_SERIESEH0004_INTEGRATED_CIRCUIT_SERIES.Although the user have access to ALL the contexts EXCEPT EH0003_MECHANICAL_VALVE_SERIES it is not possible to open the assembly. The user had access before, but now he no longer has it by decision of the board management.How can this be solved? Is there an option or configuration change in PDMLink?Thanks a lot

Hi all, I am having an issue with exporting as .step file from Windchill. We commonly do this to liason with suppliers, of course. My workflow is something like this: I save a .prt as as .stp and have it attached to the original .prt content in Windchill. Then, when I want to export this, I go to the part in Windchill and press the download button (circled in orange in attached screenshot). However, it brings up the prompt that can be seen in the middle of the attached screenshot where it tries to import the step file that I would like to export. This feature works how I want it to when I login to Windchill in a browser like Chrome, but I want it to work the same way in the Creo browser.  Any idea why this is? How can I ensure the download button actually downloads the file, not imports it as a new part. I have no problem with this workflow when I do the same thing with .stl files. Thank you!Jeff Houston

Hello!   Has anyone else built an extension or integration with Windchill or other PTC product?
