Hello,   I want to implement business rules functionality to validate some of the rules for the objects. All the articles I find online refers to the implementation of OOTB validations and some of the article clearly states what are BusinessRule, BusinessRuleSet and BusinessRuleLink but no article explains where I need to add my validation logic. Please provide your suggestions if you have implemented custom business rules for a specific custom validation.   Example: I want to get the upstream view of the resulting object and throw conflict if upstream was not available.   Thanks, Sha

I recently updated our windchill 11.0 CPS and the customization we had to the find number field got dropped.   I'm stuck on step 2D of the help file linked below. Can anyone tell me what syntax I use in the xconfmanager?   http://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/wnc/r11.1_m020/whc_en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/WCCG_UICust_PresentInfoUI_CustFindNumberField.html    

Hi All,   Can anyone let me know how to set the ECR to resolved programmatically even if one ECN is resolved and others are Cancelled?   I checked on the code within the Synch on Change Notice Implementation where it has a code like below  .WorkflowProcessHelper.isRelatedChildrenInStates( primaryBusinessObject,new String[]{"RESOLVED"})) {result = "Resolved";}     So what if there are multiple ECN where few are resolved and few are cancelled and how to make sure that ECR is resolved even if one ECN is Resolved. Can we modify the code? If yes can someone provide their leads here?

Hello,   I have a requirement where I need to develop a web service using Rest APIs where I need to get the acknowledgement from the downstream system on the objects I have transferred. I have done the same using SOAP but now I have to do the same using REST. Since I do not have very much experience on REST, any suggestion would be very helpful.   Process followed for SOAP based web service: i) Write bean classes with the attributes which I expect the downstream system to send. ii) Write an xml with the bean classes as inputs and call a method in the said xml. iii) Go to http://"Windchill URL"/RPC to generated the wsdl. iv) Register the task on Task Delegate Administration. iv) Provide the wsdl to the other interface.   Thanks, Sha

Hello all, I hope you are great.   Any of you know if is possible for a product manager to have a view of the users that downloaded a file? What our product manager has in mind is a new tab in the document info where he can verify who download the document and maybe comments written by the user when the files was downloaded by the user.   Thank you in advance for any idea or suggestion? Best regards Luis Chavarría 

Hello,  I have a document called XYZ which is a subtype of EPM Document in Windchill. As per REST API for EPM document management Domain I can read IBA's on top (Parent) EPM Document but not on its Subtypes. Attributes that I am trying to read are applied on Subtype only and not on its Parent type. REST API available OOTB cannot read these IBA's and seems like limitation of REST API. Also, this seems to be applicable to all other types and not just EPMDocument. Is there are option to read IBA's on Subtypes.? or customized REST API is the only option.?

Hello,   The default track work feature of the plan items in windchill lets the user submit rather bulky working hour entries as if all at once or partial, independent of the dates whereby the relevant working hours were actually realized.   I want to find out if it would be possible to submit incremental, ie daily, working hour entries by adding the related dates working hours are being spent ?   Thanks.

Hi everyone, what is the preference or the way in Windchill 11.2 to have the automatic representation of the pdf of a drawing? In my case with Solidworks I have the pdf created automatically (see photo 1) while for Creo Parametric and Inventor I have nothing (see photo 2). In addition to pdf files, can I also automatically create dwg or other types of files? If so, how can it be done? Thanks, Matteo.

Hi,   Creating PDF files is impossible without "Adobe Leve Cycle".Therefore, "Worker" was written. Windhill sends assignments to WorkerServer and receives a PDF from there.The WorkerServer requires the installed MS Office   https://bitbucket.org/renatsun/wc_genericdocumentworker/src   Best regards
