HiThis is my first post on this forum, thanks for any help! For changing a part in an subassembly in an assembly I am using the set state function from "released" to "in work" and this is working well. However, for the collector I would like to collect all affected assemblies "upstream" and use set state on these as well in the same operation. I have a button named "collect upstream equivalent part", but it seems locked by a setting and nothing happens when I click this button. Is the function of this button according to wanted solution? Where do I activate this button? This option should only be valid for administrator and should be set under "my preferences" then logged in as admininstrator? BR Arild

Hi experts, We have custom webjcets for creation of WTpart and WTPartUsageLink.These were able to use with no problem in Windchill 9.1.But the webject for WTPartUsageLink only when it updates multiple records(ex: a process is a update of one parent and creations of multiple WTPartUsageLink) in one transaction, no longer returns the process after upgrade from 9.1 to 11.1.The webject for WTpart (this process is always one record update in one transaction), and also webject for WTPartUsageLink when it updates one record in one transaction have no problem under Windchill 11.1.We have thoroughly investigated this webject's logic and it seems fine. We also checked property files(wt.properties and db.properties), but could not determine whether they were affected or not.Are there any other points we should investigate to help us resolve this issue?

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
