Hello,   We have an environment where we are trying to connect to Windchill 11.0.

I have one typical requirement where I would to call api to generate representation but not thumbnail.   Right now I am using doPublish() api to generate viewable/representation but I do not see any option or parameter to disable thumbnail generation..    PTC Tech support said, we can disable thumbnail generation at system level but there is no way to disable for particular scenarios or thru API.   But I believe there might be having some other API or some kind of parameter in doPublish() to disable thumbnail generation..   If any one of you have any idea, please let me know.   Thanks, Shyam.

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

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 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?
