Windchill Customization

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?

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

Where should I get "v$session.osuser " And how to change the String limit of osuser name.

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.
