Windchill Customization

Hello, anyone could help determining how the workflow expression for a conditional OR should look like checking if a change task (wt.change2.WTChangeActivity2) has affected/resulting objects at all?   regards Torsten

Hello all. I hope all you are safe.   I am looking for the easies way to hide certain documents types for specific roles in a contexts?   Do you have any advice for this?   Best regards. Luis Chavarría 

Hi All,   there is a possibility to create some rules for Windchill Visualization that will create additional pvz after Creo Parametric file being checked in. PVZ file then could be used in Creo Illustrate. But unfortunately, not all of the information is available - ex there are exploded views missing. When pvz file is created as File>save as - all state definitions are transferred.   Any idea how to does it when pvz file is created as a result of post-publishing rule?

Hello guys, I really hope all you are doing great. Do you know how to open Info Engine when Windchill is not starting? I was setting a connection with Active Directory and  when I finish all the normal configuration I restart the server to verify my work as the process requiere but Windchill never restart again, so I check my data and later I realize that the JNDI connector was wrong. So how can I change the JNDI connector if you access it using the Info Engine who is access using Windchill who is nos starting. Thats why the name of this discussion: How to open Info Engine when Windchill is not starting?  

We have several different OIRs that we use and recently a few of them have stopped showing up. The settings show that they are visible and enabled, but not even the wcadmin account is able to see the missing OIRs.   Are permissions stored somewhere that I could double check?  

Hi All, Need to fetch all the WTPartRequest attached to a WTPart. If you have ready code available then please suggest. Thanks Sitanshu

Hi,I am currently trying to add a non-persistent column to a tree in Windchill. The column does not represent an attribute, but a value calculated in the buildComponentData method. As I haven't figured out how to only add one non-persistent column, I currently build a component filled with non-persistent data instead. This works great when the component is a table, but when trying to do so with a tree, I get a "Unable to find NmObject for element: ..." error. This seems to me as if the tree component cannot display non-persistent data.Does someone know if a tree component can display non-persistent data and if so, what are the differences between a table with non-persistent data and a tree with non-persistent data?Thank you,Vincent

Hi all, How can I add new column in avalible columns table? I can see that some of them was made previous.

I have pushed attributes from a Change Activity to a Change Notice upon completion of the activity.  Now what I would like to do is push an attribute from a document approval workflow to a soft type of document.  I have defined a workflow variable called string1 as type java.lang.String and also a variable parentDocument of type wt.doc.WTDocument.  I tried to use the logic that I had but I am getting an error.  It would be great if this possible.   Here is my transition code:   com.ptc.core.lwc.server.LWCNormalizedObject obj=new com.ptc.core.lwc.server.LWCNormalizedObject(parentDocument,null,null, new com.ptc.core.meta.common.UpdateOperationIdentifier()); obj.load("string1"); obj.set("string1",internal_name_string_on_softtype); obj.apply(); wt.fc.PersistenceHelper.manager.modify(parentDocument);   The error I get when I check the syntax is:   warning: Supported source version 'RELEASE_7' from annotation processor 'com.microsoft.azure.management.

Hi, Windchill 11.2 may not be recognizing internal value of lifecycle state when internal key is using special character like '&'. Here is the entry from custom StateRB info file.

Nested exception is: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException   Trying to figure out whether usage of special character is not supported anymore in rb info file?

I am working on our company's CI/CD and I want to add logic to perform certain functions when certain files/paths are changed since the last pipeline run. One of these action is the restartAllLocalMethodServers command found in JConsole.  I'm familiar with running it from JConsole, but can't seem to find a class path to try calling it from command line. If there is no main function for whatever class this is built into, it'd be worth writing my own java utility class to call it. How can I perform a restartAllLocalMethodServers through Command Line?

Hello,   I have an info engine engine task registered which will be called when an interface sends any content to Windchill. I have written my task xml to generate the wsdl, but I want to know the necessity of adding webjects in the xml, because even after adding/removing the webjects I am getting the same wsdl. Please provide your inputs on the need of webjects.   Webject in my xml: <ie:webject name="Create-Group" type="GRP"><ie:param name="GROUP_OUT" data="feedback"/><ie:param name="DELIMITER" data="^"/><ie:param name="ELEMENT" data="output=<%=messageFromMyMethod%>"/></ie:webject>   Thanks in advance.   Regards, Sha

Good day,   I would like to know whether it is possible to check for a duplicate Variant Specification in the Product Family Matrix Editor?   When creating a new variant from the overloaded product structure using the Actions > Configure selection, the flow checks whether a similar/duplicate variant already exists.   In the matrix editor it is however possible to allocate any component without validation?   Appreciate the help.   Thanks

Hi,   Just checking to see if anyone else has experienced this before.   I have mapped custom parameters in Creo to Windchill EPMDocuments and Part in the Type and Attribute manager.   Now, when I check in an assembly from Creo the corresponding attributes get created/updated on the CAD Document as well as the WTPart in Windchill.   However, when I check in a single part the corresponding attributes in Windchill only get created/updated on the CAD Document but all of the attribute values on the WTPart is blank.   In all previous experiences the mapping has always worked on both assemblies as well as single parts.   Anyone perhaps an idea of what I am doing wrong?   Appreciate the assistance.

I'm able to create EPMDocuments through the API and through the EnterpriseHelper via a save-as but does anyone know the workflow to use when creating one from a Template stored in Windchill?   The API documentation looks like we need to do the following: 1. Call EnterpriseHelper.service.saveCopy(RevisionControlled original) 2. Edit any attribute values on the object that we want to change 3. Call EnterpriseHelper.service.saveFromTemplateObject(RevisionControlled original, RevisionControlled copy)   This workflow works and successfully creates an EPMDocument but it doesn't carry forward any of the data from the template.  All meta data fields are cleared and the content is not copied (but this is ok because we don't care about the content as we'll be uploading new content any way)   I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong or my understanding of the Java Doc is wrong but I can't find any other resources on how to do this. I've been able to use the above workflow and be

Hi All, I'm upgrading from Windchill 9 to 11.1 and I have a JCA / DataUtility customizion I want to convert using OOTB DataUtility ID inside Type and Attribute Manager, but it doesn't work. The customization consists in some soft attribute (eg:  DocumentCategory_ETS)  of a soft type (intra.elica.upgradesvil.ETS  subtype of ReferenceDocument  subtype of WTDocument)  to be rendered as ComboBox.   I followed all instructions and tips from Windchill help center and support cases.   Following my code and configurations:   1)  site.xconf   <Property name="wt.services/svc/default/com.ptc.core.components.descriptor.DataUtility/ETSDataUtility/java.lang.Object/0" overridable="true" targetFile="codebase/service.properties" value="ext.elica.doc.datautility.ETSDataUtility/duplicate"/>     2)  propagated value inside components.dataUtilities.properties   wt.services/svc/default/com.ptc.core.components.descriptor.DataUtility

Hi,   Just want to find out if someone has tried such customization before.   We would like attributes to still be populated/edited from the Creo side but it should be read-only in the Windchill user interface.   I have played around in Attribute manager but making settings read-only there then prohibits Creo from being able to save to Windchill.   Appreciate your help.   Thank you

How to set the target folder for part within a customized auto association?   I read support article CS277056, there they talk about the EPMWorkspaceHelper.manager.setTargetFolder API. But when I tried to use it, it needs the new WTPart to be persistence, but on check in an error occurres with the message "The part is persistent!".   When the WTPart is not persistent the setTargetFolder function gets a null instead of a object id and doesn't execute. I get the following error: Cannot set target folder for objects that are not newly created.  1 out of 1 objects are not new.   Does someone have experience with it, and knows a solution? Because I want the new WTParts to be in the same context as the EPMDocument when changing folder for new EPMDocument but not in the same folder, so the preference 'Store New Parts with CAD Documents' is not a solution.
