Windchill Customization

I'm having a problem with the redirect back to Windchill after authenticating. I see the authentication on the Okta side, but when it returns, it goes to the Windchill address without the "/Windchill", just the hostname. I get the Apache "It Works!" page. Any ideas?

Hello, looking for a possibility to programmatically do an upload of certain attachments to a Part request object? Basically trying to mirror the functionality given in the GUI from within an expression robot within a workflow.   Any ideas if this api exists?   regards Torsten

We have several legacy files that follow a numbering scheme but are not necessarily in order. I want to change the next document number value instead (ex instead of 00010, I want it to be 00100). All the documentation points at how to CREATE a sequence, but not change it. Does anyone know how to set the value for the sequence after the table as been created?

How to synchronize a workflow with Part Request as PBO to wait for a second Part request in a separate workflow (number of this second Part request is know and stored in global WF variable type string).The synchronization should trigger on part request state change and check if the number is equal to the one stored as global WF variable and state is "RESOLVED"

hi All,   There is an article on PTC https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS211115 I've checked it on 11.2 - all works ok. On 12.0 there is no problem with adding Custom WVS Scheduler Methods, but I have problem with part 'Publish Actions from Windchill Search result / Folder Contents table'.    Does any of you try to implement it on Windchill 12??   regards Krzysztof

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.

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?
