I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 M010Action - Model - Second level navigation tabs in Windchill PDMLink

We have a custom utility to download the PDF representations.

Hello...Been pouring over the community topic and looking at the customization guide... but need a little direction.  I'd like to add a custom action to the promotion request objects table to download all secondary data for each promoted item to the users computer.I have found some code that I can use to help to that actual job... can anyone offer some guidance on what I'll be editing and how to successfully integrate it.  I have set up the wtsafearea structure.  Some pointers would be very very appreciated!

When clicking pdf file icon that is stored in PDMLink, error message like Unexpected server response appears and the pdf file is not shown on browser. Would you please let me know what is that cause and how to resolve it? I posted a question about that to PTC support but I received the answer that it is nothing to do with PDMLink function, and it is most likely to do that it is affected by user's PC setting and eventually I was not able to resolve it.I would appreciate your help(view in My Videos)  

      I need to export Classification attributes for Part in ESIResponse file. I want to do it a specific XML structure like: <ClassificationAttributes><ClassificationAttributeMapping attribute="width" value="20" units="mm"></ClassificationAttributeMapping><ClassificationAttributeMapping attribute="height" value="40" units="mm"></ClassificationAttributeMapping></ClassificationAttributes>   How can I achieve this? Should I be adding more schema in ESIResponseMetaInformation.xsd and also in ESIResponseMetaInfo.xml?    I tried to do following wherein: - Added more schema to - ESIResponseMetaInformation.xsd - Defined elements in - ESIResponseMetaInfo.xml - In adjustPartElement hook when I get hold of Element for Part, I get the IeNode from it and query for childNodes but don't get anything. I expected to get <ClassificationAttributes>. If I could get that then I can wrap it an Element and add Att to

We use a data utility to render Boolean attributes as check boxes in a document create page.   The default value for all these Boolean attributes is no (unchecked) . In the same create page we have an attribute with a conditional constraint (select a certain value in the drop down list and another attribute in the page is set to Required).   If a user makes selections for the Boolean attributes (checks one or more of the boxes) and then make a change to the conditional constraint attribute, the page is refreshed, and the Boolean attributes are unchecked (reset to default value).   Is there a best practice for configuring this data utility so the Booleans remain as-is when the conditional constraint attribute is updated?

I am unable to use the Cascading Attributes functionality in 11.1 M020 because both of my attributes (ex: attribute1 & attribute2) are to be read from a list in a property file on the file system.   I have an attribute1 that generates a pull down list of selections using a ComboxBox. Based on the selection for attribute1, I would like to dynamically update the pulldown list of values available for attribute2.   I have looked at: CS138327 (returns an enumeration list but I don't see a way to relate attribute2 to attribute1's value) CS226468 (only returns a string, so unable to create a pull down list)   I have tried using a ComboBox and the addJsAction method but it looks like this will not work in 11.1. Any ideas on how one would go about implementing this in 11.1?   Thanks for your time.Troy

We have custom BOM report page which by default shows only the first level of components. However, on the page the user is given the option to expand the BOM to any available depth. To display the available number of levels, the program needs to find the total number of levels. This is quite heavy on a big assembly, and many times unnecessary when a user wants to see the first level only. I wonder if there are better ways to get the total depth of a given assembly without walking the whole product structure tree.

Does anyone know why our windchill installation would redirect to hostname.com/Windchill/app/ when going to hostname.com/Windchill/? We are trying to implement a webject and I believe this is causing a signin issue. 

Has anyone used the PDM connector from Altair? I copied the files over and added the delegates per the Altair instructions, but login keeps failing. Am I missing something?

I need to add a task delegate and I am prompted for the LDAP server admin credentials. Is there a way to look this up? We had had consultants perform the install, but the username and password that were provided do not work. Is it possible to make the changes locally on the server without having to login? I should also note that this does not connect to our corporate LDAP server so maybe it was never set up?

Hi,We are running a version 11.1 Windchill Projectlink on Linux.At the end of a validation workflow, we have a customization which allows the user to select several tasks and set their status to validated.Once the status is validated, a word document is generated with all the comments the users made during the review cycle.The problem is that, sometimes, when users select many tasks and validate them, the files are either not generated (empty filename) or their filename refers to the content of an other file.It is very difficult to reproduce the issue, but when you reduce the number of sockets in windchill configuration to 10, you reproduce it everytime for more than 10 documents generated.It seems to be socket related... does someone have experienced the same issues ?
