Windchill Customization

We have family tables stored in a read-only product.  When the family tables are updated, they're moved from the read-only product to one with write access.  The family tables can then be checked out, updated, checked back in, and moved back to the read-only product.   Moving the family table along with its instances facilitates the publishing of every version of every instance.  This creates thousands of unnecessary items being sent to the publisher.   How do I configure the publishing rules in the Worker Agent to prohibit this behavior?

I am working with Windchill 10.2 currently and the question has come up about folder permissions. What we would like to do is create a top level product container and create folders for various groups within that container. These groups are to be kept separate from each other, meaning each group will have access to their own folder but not have access to the other folders in the container.   With that being said, can we control the permissions at the folder level or will we need to create a separate container for each group?   Thank you in advance for your time and have a good one.

I am looking to add some additional actions to a Configurable Links table, specifically I would like to add the submodel for export to give the user the ability to export the table to an excel spreadsheet. I've added the export submodel to the table in custom actionmodel and this does not work.   I opened up a support ticket for this issue and the answered that I received is listed below. Has anybody been able to find a way around this limitation?   I have set up server and install Configurable Links. I have tried to adding export actions (export to excel ,export to File etc) however it does not work. Also, tried with adding submodel but still that fails as configurable Table toolbar action is controlled by   “ConfigurableLinkTableToolbarActionCommandDelegate”. Article : CS237601 for reference.   This seems to limitation of this delegate class which will not allow submodel or actions governed by submodel;  however it may work for few other ootb or custom action

For a few workflows I've created methods to set an object's attribute (one for String, one for TimeStamps) which have worked great over the past few years. I have a new requirement to set an int's value. I created a new method and changed the input attribute to accept an int. When I call the method, i get an odd error telling me I've violated the limit constraint. The value I'm sending is 2 which should not cause any issues.   wt.system.err Administrator - com.ptc.core.meta.container.common.ConstraintException: The value for Number Of Cavities must be between -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 and 9,223,372,036,854,775,807, inclusive.   The method i have is the following public static void setAttributeValue(WTObject pbo, String IBAName,int IBAValue) { PersistableAdapter obj; try { obj = new PersistableAdapter(pbo, null,Locale.US, new UpdateOperationIdentifier()); obj.load(IBAName); System.out.println("Attribute " + IBAName + " value is " + IBAValue); obj.set(IBAName,
