Hi,   I am also looking to integrate walkme with windchill but not getting relevant material, can you please provide me some details around the same.   Regards, Chirag Agarwal

As per this thread , same issue. Hey!   It's been 5 years since this reply, and I'd like to learn more about Windchill customization.   I'd like to create custom endpoints for Windchill's REST API. Are there any updates, documentation, guides, or videos for that?    Thanks.

Hello,I don't have access to the Discussion "How to run background task periodically ",https://community.ptc.com/message/472772found in https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Is-there-anyway-to-schdule/m-p/184990#M56259 postWhy i dnot have access to the original topic?I would like to get an access.? Thank you so much for an answer.Best RegardsPetr H. Interesting answer was published in the original discusion:If you wan't to use a time, you need to create a Windchill context : import wt.method.MethodContext import wt.method.RemoteMethodServer import wt.session.SessionContext import wt.session.SessionHelper new MethodContext(null, null) SessionContext.newContext() SessionHelper.manager.setPrincipal("wcadmin") RemoteMethodServer rms = RemoteMethodServer.getDefault() rms.setUserName("wcadmin") rms.setPassword("wcadmin") But as Bjorg said, it's not the best way. In fact, if you have several MS & a BGMS, the thread would run everywhere, and it would probabl

HI All   I had gone through the Article and set the required parameters for the email notification.but still its not working. 1. set parameter on the workflow side2. set parameter on the Windchill. Regards,Manjunath

I wanted to share this as another method of sending emails. This option has you turning off send notification on a workflow task, mine is called "CCB Review". In a workflow expression, I call out my helper class and method like so:   customization.workflow.MyWorkflowProcessHelper.sendNotifications((wt.workflow.engine.WfProcess)self.getObject(),"CCB Review");   This looks up all workitems that match that task name and creates its own email. They key here is the bolded lines in "createNotification". Here is where you can change the template processor AND the html template. I for other reasons chose not to but this opens up the possibility of completely customizing what users see in their email boxes.  Hope this helps someone.   /*** Fires notifications for an Assigned Activity where notification is turned off in the template.* This allows modification of the activity before the emails are sent.* @param process, reference to the current workflow process* @param activit

Dear Community, we are planning to change the Windchill Authentication to Form Based Authentication.Windchill is connected to the Active Directory of the customer as well.How does the configuration look like in the tomcat settings?

Hello to all,I am using Windchill 11.2.1.2 with Creo Modeling 20.3.2.0 (via wgm 11.2.1.7) and Creo Parametric 7.0.5.0.In both cases I am experiencing a notable slowness, both of the WGM and of Windchill within Creo, of the Workspace update.Example:When I modify a WT part or a Cad Document (the check-out is already done), by changing a simple attribute and saving, the workspace remains to update itself for a few minutes.I did the test on multiple PCs and the result is the same.Even check-in operations with few components are very slow.From a browser, on the other hand, everything works correctly.Among other things, if I go to check in the browser, I find the change already made, while in the wgm the workspace page is still updating.Another thing: changing server and passing in the test environment (as you can see at the end of the attached video) the same operation is ok.What can it depend on?Do you have any ideas or experience on this?Matteo.

Hi All, Please let anyone know that which class/API is used to call this action from CAD Structure Browser, Display->Merge Uses & Display->Separate Uses RegardsGuru Prasad

I am fairly new to customized company Standard Profiles (and license profiles), but have been learning how important they are, and how many issues arise, esp. in WC12.   Does anyone know if and where there is the documentation for the different categories that are listed? Some of them are self-explanatory, while others are not, especially if I am not familiar with newer functionality, or the extent of the things it can affect, or if it is just ambiguous.  E.g. "Remove" (which remove?), "Use Creo Data Management & Visualization WGMs", "Move Choice", "Windchill PDF Collaboration", "override name", etc Note I did look in the WC Help, searched some of the terms (with and without quotes) and didn't find documentation on these categories. Move Choice Based on your experience and knowledge, what are some best practices working with Profiles in WC?  Brainstorming some examples Do you give full access when in doub

I've read the help and old posts from 2013 on this topic. I can see that this uses the old template processors and the developer is 8 years retired to Shangri-La. So who here has mucked with this? Users are asking for some basics for both workflow task emails and notification emails: Put PBO number in email subject Remove unneeded attributes from email body (who cares who created Product area) Pass more attribute detail in body of email like workflow attributes.  Windchill help has this confusing verbiage about "Subject" templates. What the heck is that? Does this pick a template based on the task name? Who wrote this? Lastly, is there a complete listing of all possible methods that can be called? It might be worth it to extend it and add more custom methods for more functionality. Windchill 11.1 BTW.

After implementing security labels to help manage CUI (and other sensitive data), I felt it might be important to see what other companies  / people might be interested in a Security Label working group.  I think Focus should be in a few areas:Protecting Sensitive Data / meeting federal and company data security requirements Limitations with Current Security Label toolsKey improvements necessary to mark, manage, audit, and control Security Labeled data Thoughts? Jim

Hello everybody, I'm trying to retrive some global enumerated value of WTDocument from the Windchill 11.0 M030 database with a SQL query.   I used the queries of https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS174022 but what i can get are just the Internal values of the attributes, not the Display values. (column NAME of [LWCEnumerationEntry])   Which table contains the DISPLAY Value of the enumerated attributes?   How these attributes values are linked to the objects (eg WTDocument) ? I can see the stringValue linked to the object, but again it contains the internal value and I need instead the display value.   Can you point me to a datamodel documentation that covers this topic?   Thank you

Does anyone know of a way to retrieve the target values a user enters into the rename GUI before any of the rename events finish?  We're running into a problem where we can't see what the new filename is until after the number change is already complete.  We need to know if the filename is going to be changing, and if so what its new value will be, before we decide whether or not to let the number change proceed.  Since separate events are being fired for name, number, and filename, it seems like it's impossible (from just these events) to tell in advace what is going to be changing.  Instead of just looking at the object passed by these listeners (EPMDocument, etc.) is there some way to get all the data that was actually submitted by the user on the rename form, before any of the rename events actually finish?   Rename dialog:   Event listener order depending on what is being changed:  

Does anyone have a process for mass modification of context Teams [Roles along with the groups/individuals assigned] and product/library access control rules (ACR's)? The modification must include deletion of existing Roles and ACR's. A simple way to view this is applying a new product template to an existing product replacing the existing Team and ACR's. I did not see a way to delete existing Roles or ACR's using LoadFromFile, but I admit it's not a tool I'm very familiar with using.   Can the Windchill Bulk Migrator export an existing product and re-import it back into the same system using a different product template?   Regards, Dan N.

As per this thread - same problem   Hey bmr,    It´s seems you are still active in the forum. Could you explain me how can I "Overwrite" the create new view from with an Processor. we try to change an attribute value while creating a new view version.  The problem is that we can´t find any kind of template or layout for this "Pop-up" - Window.   thanks forward.   best regards from Vienna.   Philipp
