Experts:   After converting a replica site to SSL to match the master site, and updating the replica URL in Site Administration from http to https, is there a way to update the URL that the master is using without completely restarting Windchill?   Thanks in advance, Mark

Dear community,   I am not sure if it is absolutly odd, but I have to import an Excel file with 3.200.000 lines as System Tree (structured). I have the feeling that this will exceed the memory of Windchill and I do not think that the GUI import/export wizzard can handle this size. Has anyone recommendations or experience with this? Any help is appreciated, Tobias

Hi,   Need help with defining a QuerySpec. In pure SQL I would define it as. select * from WTPARTMASTER PMJOIN WTORGANIZATION O ON O.IDA2A2 = PM.IDA3ORGANIZATIONREFERENCEWHERE concat(PM.WTPARTNUMBER, O.NAME) IN ('0000000081Demo Organization','0000000081Other Organization'.......);   I need to be able to search for hundreds of parts in one go, that's why I use the WHERE IN. (ArrayExpression in the QuerySpec) And since I need both the Number and the Org name I concat them, otherwise I cannot use the IN clause.   Any ideas are welcome.   BR Anders

Hi,   For XML topics in windchill, I want to do a query for pulling out the specific information in a XML element. For example, I have a XML topic: I have an element called ITEM with attribute "id='98821c56'". How can I pull "Potting Soil" in my report(query builder)?   Thank you!

I do not have issue in running RMI Java client from Windchill shell.    I read from one of the discussion in the community which I thought we may just run it without Windchill shell by just adding wt.jar in classpath. However, it will get missing service.properties error when you try to use QuerySpec API.   Can we run RMI Java client without Windchill shell ?

I'm having trouble with a workflow where a certain section runs the first time through but won't run on subsequent runs.  I've tried setting 'Rework' link as loop link but it's not making any difference.  How do I get the two 'Start' links (in the red box) to fire every time time the 'Design Check' activity is (re-)executed?  Thanks.

Hi guys,   I'm looking for a JAVA API that is capable to replace a part inside a structure with it's alternate or substitute. It would be great if someone could also provide sample code for it.   The longer story would be the following: We subscribed to an event, that fires when a new Module Variant was created.We loop throw the new Module Variant’s structure and based on some attributes and choices we identify three Object References:• parent: the part which uses the “original child” that should be replaced by the “replacement child”• original child: the part that should be replaced• replacement child: the part which should be used as a replacement (this part is alternate and substitute for the “original child” part)We thought that we will use the function called WTPartHelper.service.replacePartAssemblies(parent, originalChild, replacementChild) which should do the job, but unfortunately it makes no changes in the structure, and doesn’t return error messages, or ex

Hello all,   i have run successfully the code in the case bellow for a Document. https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Conditional-routing-based-on-Document-attributes/m-p/189278#M22601   When applying the same code for a different object type, Dynamic Document, it does not record in the variable of the workflow the value of the attribute. I have tried the following:   try {wt.epm.EPMDocument doc =  (wt.epm.EPMDocument) primaryBusinessObject;   //get the attributes of the document.wt.iba.value.IBAHolder holder = wt.iba.value.service.IBAValueHelper.service.refreshAttributeContainerWithoutConstraints(doc);wt.iba.value.DefaultAttributeContainer ac = (wt.iba.value.DefaultAttributeContainer) holder.getAttributeContainer();if (ac != null) {wt.iba.value.litevalue.AbstractValueView[] avalues = ac.getAttributeValues();for (int i=0;i<avalues.length;i++) {    wt.iba.value.litevalue.AbstractValueView val = avalues[i];    System.out.println

Hi,   I need to send a Soap message from Windchill to a thirdpary application, but also include a binary content in the message, in my case a CAD file.   I have found the following Info*Engine Webject that I believe I can use to send teh actual soap message:   Call-SOAPService   But has anyone tried to attach binary content to the webject? The content stream itself I can get from the webject:  Get-ContentItems I have also found examples of how to get the File Stream onto an email, ./prog_examples/adapter/windchill/tasks/infoengine/examples/adapter/windchill/contentItem/Email.xml   but I cannot find out how to add it as binary content into the SOAP message.   Does anyone have any idea? /Gustav

Is there any way to move the location of where the username displays in the banner?  We recently upgraded from 10.1 to 11.0.  The company logo I use is too wide in the new version.  

What's the ideal approach to handle security label propagation from WTPart to WTDocument.   Currently, we are trying out an approach of using identical iba values. Example :  WTPart contains an IBA call controlNumber and WTDocument in a similar fashion contains an IBA called controlNumber. When a WTPart's security label changes it looks for all WTDocuments with that value and sets its security label to the new value. We're doing this by using an modify security label audit event listener. And continuing to iron out the functionality.   Is this the only approach or is there an OOTB approach for security label propagation that we have missed.

Hello All, I have a workflow that reads usage table attribute called "Responsible"( see attachment ). There is expression inside workflow and it start activity according to attribute value that defined for each part in the uses table of assembly.     What i want in the code is to start relevant activities for each part based on their attribute values in uses table. If "Responsible" value is "A" then Activity A should start. If "Responsible" is "B" Activity B should start also in parallel and so on. In the below code, it is starting activity based on the last part's attribute value. It doesnt matter each part attribute values. ( I think it overrides result inside the for loop ). As you see in the attachment below code starts only "Activity E", not others. I expect start also "activity A and C as i defined attribute values for parts as A and C.     wt.part.WTPart part = null;part = (wt.part.WTPart)primaryBusinessObject; wt.fc.QueryResult qr2 = null; qr2 = wt.fc.P

Hi everyone,   I would like to get the WTPart or the Context in which the WTPart is while setting the option filters in Structure Manager. I have Platform Structures module installed and I can call a function in the conditional rules of an option pool. In the help I found this info, however I would want to pass some information to my custom function about the part on which this option filter is applied. Is there some helper service that I could use to get the current Part from which I'm initiating the option filter?   Thank you in advance, Tamás
