the addition, deletion and modification of classification nodes and classification node attributes

In Windchill 11.0 M030 version, since it is necessary to receive from other systems through interfaces, sample code related to the addition, deletion and modification of classification nodes and classification node attributes is required. After checking, I learned that in Windchill11.0 version, there is no supported API for direct operation.

Changes - Order of Completion

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I have a requirement from a customer to enforce an order in which changes to parts included in Windchill are completed in. For example, if I had a project which was to replace an inner tube on a bike, I may introduce several change objects into the Windchill instance to achieve this. Task 1 may be to remove the tyre. Task 2 may be to remove the punctured inner tube. Task 3 may be to apply the new inner tube. Assuming we had different people performing each of these tasks, it may be desirable to specify that Task 3 can only be completed one Task 2 had been completed and that Task 3 should not be attempted before this.Description: Using my example above, can anybody recommend the best way to ensure change tasks are completed in a certain order and if it is possible to prevent changes being completed before a pre-requisite change has been completed?

Obtain expression robot name from called java class

All, I have a scenario where I am calling a custom java method from an expression robot in a workflow. I pass the self and primaryBusinessObject references as parameters to the call and what I need is to get the name of the expression robot. This is not a problem when the call is made from an assigned activity because then the self variable refers to the activity from which I can get the name. However, when self is send from an expression robot it refers to the process itself.  Does anybody know how to get the name of the expression robot? I should mentions that in this particular scenario I do not want to pass it as a parameter to the method.

"State" and "Life Cycle Template" Attribute Visibility - Guest Role

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I have set up a product in my Windchill Instance. Within the product, I have added a group to the "Guest" role. This is the only role the group is associated to. I have also created a sub-type of a WTPart. When a user in this group looks at the "Details" tab of the WTPart sub-type, they are provided with values of "Secured Information" for the "State" and "Life Cycle Template". However, when they go into an OOTB WTPart (Internal Name - wt.part.WTPart), stored in the same folder of the same product, they are given visibility of the values for "State" and "Life Cycle Template". I came across this article - https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS280989?source=search . Having read this, I created a new policy at the organization level in the "/System" domain which was set to apply to types of "Life Cycle Template". The "State" value was set to "All" and the "Participant" specified was my group which was associated with the "Guest" role. This then al

Create a CAD document in a different state

I have 5 states, design, development, production gate, production change and production released.  When a user create a new CAD document it starts in design and has to go through the production gate to reach production released.  The production gate is intended for CAD moving from development prototypes to production and requires extra approvals. But there are times when production engineers need to create a part which do not have to go through the production gate approvals. Is there a way allow them to create a part in the production change state? I see in the ACL that there are permissions for create in the specified state but I'm not sure how to set the life cycle state before creating and checking in a new part.

Unable to update the properties in SLD* files , using the Windchill API' to set attribute on EPM

We are currently checking the possibility to create a interface from SAP to Windchill, While we are able to get the required attribute values from SAP and set it on EPM Documents , but these attributes values create a different entries in SLD* file properties using windchill attribute internal nameshttps://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS110292?source=searchI understand as per this article that this is expected behavior as we have explicit mapping for Designated Parameters. Is there a way to rectify this?

Business Rule or Customization to check that a drawing is more recent than the model.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Windchill Publishing is currently set to publish drawings using the As-Stored configuration. This ensures that a REV A drawing is never re-published using a REV B model, for example. But sometimes users check-in a model after the last time they check-in the drawing. Then the drawing publishes "incorrectly". Uses don't notice this because their workspace always has "latest" versions of the model and drawing.Description: Has anyone developed a customization or business rule to check that during a promotion request / change notice, that the drawing is more recent than the associated drawing models of that drawing.  I would be open to other suggestions on how to prevent publishing the wrong drawing other than changing the publishing configuration to "Latest".  If there was an option to check for "Latest Iteration" of the model, that might work, but I do not want a solution that creates the potential for a Revision mismatch. Years ago, I

wcadmin adding old "describe by document" back into the Parent part on update without notification.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Windchill is automatically re-linking a previously removed "Describe-by" document (NMBP-ICT) to a part (NMBP-G1) after the document is revised and released, even though a new document (NMBP-SVD) was already assigned. This auto-update, triggered by the system user wcadmin, also increments the part's revision unexpectedly and without notification, causing unintended changes in released data.Description: Hi PTC community.We’ve recently discovered a behavior of the wcadmin user related to Describe by document update.1. We created a Doc Part NMBP-G1 with Releasable Describe by document NMBP-ICT for its first version.2. Upon release, it has the “NMBP-ICT” releasable document and a Releasable Report (parts list) linked to it. This is normal behaviour and what we expect to see.  3. Then I revised the Doc Part NMBP-G1 to version 2.2 via a CN and replaced the “NMBP-ICT” document with a “NMBP-SVD” document as the describe by document

How to fix missing hyperlink to view Windchill workflow structure and status info?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Users need to be able to click on the task and be able to see at what step the workflow is in, what comments have been made so they know what they need to do next.

Reload WRS files without restarting Method Server?

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Updating a custom WRS domain. Description: Hello All,   I need to do quite a lot of trial-and-error on my custom WRS domain, mainly manipulating .js files. Restarting MS every time to pick up my changes is annoying.   Since those scripts are interpreted by Nashorn anyway, I thought... maybe there's some magic trick (e.g. calling some MBean method) to reload them without restarting MS every time?   Thanks!

Error Page Customization

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.2Hello,We are currently using Windchill version 13.0.2.2 in our organization. We've observed that some users are attempting to access Windchill without being assigned any valid licenses. In such cases, the error message displayed is overly technical and difficult for end users to understand.To improve the user experience, we would like to customize the error page to display a simple and clear message indicating that the issue is due to missing Windchill licenses. I’ve attached a screenshot of the current error for reference.This request is of high priority, as the existing error page is causing confusion among users and generating unnecessary support tickets.Thank you for your attention to this matter.

BAC Conflict Errors

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Using a BAC in a CCD to update document templates, workflows, enumerations, attributes, and type.Description: Is anyone else having BAC Conflict Errors when loading a CCD package with a BAC? I'm testing the CCD on a dev server with updates to document templates, workflows, enumerations, attributes, and types. The first error I receive is BAC_DOCTEMPLATE_WITH_SAME_NUMBER_EXISTS. The BAC default conflict resolution is OVERWRITE and the service.properties file was changed to use the BACConflictResolver for BAC_DOCTEMPLATE_WITH_SAME_NUMBER_EXISTS. However, we still receive the conflict error. If I remove all the document templates from the BAC, I then receive ENUM_DEF_WITH_SAME_IDENTITY_EXISTS, ORGANIZER_WITH_SAME_IDENTITY_EXISTS, BAC_TABLE_VIEW_EXISTS, TYPE_WITH_SAME_IDENTITY_EXISTS, and WORKFLOW_WITH_SAME_IDENTITY_EXISTS errors. Within the UI, overwrite isn't an option in the event monitor for conflict resolution.
