Windchill Customization

Hello,    In my company's ECR and ECN workflow for the CRB and CIB reviews I have added four people to it. Right now i have it set to where each person has to choose an option before it moves on in the workflow. The only problem is if three out of the four people say approve it moves on in the workflow. Is there someway or somewhere that I can change that function so that everyone has to choose an option and they all have to approve it otherwise it goes back to be clarified amended etc.

Hello,   I created a SOAP WS with attachment parameter following this article: http://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/whc/whc_en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center%2FIEUG_WSFUseSOAPAttach.html%23 In the client side I passed a DataHandler object. But, when I read the DataSource in the WS task , it's always null. Who have idea how to fix such issue? Is there a full sample for created SOAP WS with attachment?   Thank you.

Hello my company uses Solidworks with Windchill and Creo View. When I open a Solidworks drawing in Creo View it publishes it as a .pdf and when I try to do a markup it doesn't allow me to use the markup tab. Does anyone know of a way that I can fix this or use the markup tab with the Solidworks drawings?

Hello,    Someone at my company has gone in and modified the out of the box workflow templates instead of doing a save as. Now the ECR workflow specifically is messed up. Is there somewhere that I can get the out of the box workflow templates to import back into out Windchill database?

i created an epm document through java api, and i want to assign a family table status to it, i want it to be a generic type. I used this " .setFamilyTableStatus() " method but its giving an error saying "Family Table Validations Failed".

Hi, I was successfully able to create a wtpart and epm document using java api. Now i want to know how to create a link between them.

Stumped on this one. It maybe a CSS issue or something in the TableBuilder.  I have created custom tables which look great but the last column seems to scroll off page forever. Something is controlling that to where I cannot shrink last column to fit on page and wrap.  I have two system, one where it works and other where it was causing me problems.   This is what I want. Columns can be expanded by user. This is what I get where last column goes off right forever and I cannot drag back. I do not even get corner menu to change wrapping. Since columns are huge, it does not wrap correctly and gets cut off on printout.    I suspect this is a CSS setting or something in the table builder. Any ideas?

Hi. I need to make some changes to WfAssignedActivity. The code runs from a separate thread (SessionThread) that starts in "Start" transition of activity. I get exception "wt.pom.ObjectNotPersistentException: Object "wt.workflow.work.WfAssignedActivity:39876147" is not a persistent" when i try to save changes with PersistenceHelper.manager.save() method. If i try to PersistenceHelper.manager.refresh so i get exception "Cannot restore Wf Assigned Activity because it no longer exists."   But if i suspend my thread for example for 2 minutes with Thread.sleep() method, after that PersistenceHelper.manager.save works fine (and PersistenceHelper.manager.refresh as well). So how can i check that assigned activity is available for PersistenceHelper.manager methods?  

Hello,We are working on a web service to upload files (PDFs) to Windchill. Depending on some information it should go to a specific folder or another. 1) For our tests we took as base the example given under 'prog_examples' called 'Attachments'. In upload.xml  (this file uses the webject "Add-ContentItems") one can modify the destination of the file, by default is STAGING_AREA but we would like to change it to point to a specific folder. I was reading about the "WHERE" and "TYPE", but we did not manage to specify a folder that way, we get all kind of issues. Could anyone be so kind as to give us an example on how we could specify the destination folder using that file?One problem we are currently having is that Windchill reports there is more than one Part with the same number and name, which is obviously not right. I don't know how to fetch the first ([0]) returned item only. 2) For the next step, we would need more complex evaluation to decide the destination folder. Is it

Hi All,   I have got a query on Windchill Versioning schemes and whenever we revise an object we are having an issue w.r.t version. So can you please let me know how to get it resolved.   I have got an entry in OIR as <AttrValue id="MBA|versionInfo" algorithm="com.ptc.core.foundation.vc.server.impl.VersionInfoGenerator"> <Arg>wt.series.HarvardSeries.CustomSeries</Arg> </AttrValue>     And within the State Based Versioning the series name is  <series name="StateBased"> <seed name="NUMERIC"> <value>1</value> .. <value>99</value> </seed> <seed name="MILSTD"> <value>-</value> <value>A</value> .. <value>Y</value> <value>AA</value> .. <value>AY</value> </seed> </series>   Whenever we create an object it is getting created as A.1.

Hello there,    Is there a way to programmatically apply the Related Assembly Filter to the ProcessPlan Structure (Process plan > MPMOperation > Allocated Parts) displayed ?  

Good evening, I have begun experimenting with a tool to read a workflow ZIP file and produce an HTML document with a graph. Graphviz provides tools which seems suitable. I am attaching a sample. There are three options: let Graphviz control the layout, guide Graphviz in the layout process, or reproduce the positions in the original workflow. Would this be useful? Thank you. -- ClaudeM

Hi,   I have got a soft type of Configurable Reference Link (which connects two part soft types) where the data has to be loaded into Windchill using the WIndchill API.   Can anyone let me know how to do the same. Thanks in advance.   Best Regards, Aditya

I'm tying to add additional checks that will run before a user can complete the promotion request wizard.  These should validate that (a.) the user did not select themselves and (b.) at least one person has been selected for each of the promotion request roles.   I would prefer to stop the wizard from completing vs. trying to catch these problems after the workflow has started.  From what I'm reading, this seems to be possible by overriding the promotion request delegate.   There is a sample code snippet by @BhushanNehe here: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/How-to-stop-a-User-selecting-himself-as-an-Approver-in-Promotion/m-p/144787/highlight/true#M17171   There is also help documentation here: http://support.ptc.com/help//windchill/wc111_hc/whc_en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center%2FWCCG_BusLogicCust_WorkflowAdmin_MultPartSelectWizard_Sect3.html%23   I'm guessing I need to create a Java file, compile it, and then register a servic

I have written a custom task to fetch WTGroup objects belonging to a particular PDMLinkProduct. Following is the code that I have used:     QuerySpec qs = new QuerySpec(WTGroup.class); qs.appendWhere(new SearchCondition(WTGroup.class, "containerReference.key.classname", SearchCondition.EQUAL, product.getPersistInfo().getObjectIdentifier().getClassname().toString())); qs.appendAnd(); qs.appendWhere(new SearchCondition(WTGroup.class,"containerReference.key.id", SearchCondition.EQUAL, product.getPersistInfo().getObjectIdentifier().getId()), new int[] { 0 }); QueryResult qr = PersistenceHelper.manager.find(qs);     But I'm unable to return these fetched WTGroups in QueryResult using Return-Groups.   Does anyone know how to return these objects from the custom task?
