Windchill Customization

Is there a way to test your code by connecting Windchill in Eclipse?For example, in Windchill-linked Eclipse, can you test the work of retrieving or revising a version of an object and applying it as a workflow expression?   So let's connect Windchill to Eclipse. (Plugin or library?)Write the code in Eclipse and make sure it works in the console log.Apply the identified code to Windchill's workflow expressions.is that right?   Is there any reason to integrate Eclipse with Windchill?   thank

I am trying to build a report with the query builder to get the release date and resolve date of an ECN.  On this moment I have this but I get double records. I am looking for a method that give me the latest activity of an ECN.Report informationJoins.SelectCriteria

Greetings all,  I've an interesting question.  It is more about the process, not (at this time) concerned with the customization. We are about to install Windchill 11.0 in a company that has not had it in the past.  We will connect it with SAP.    We are working out how to manage our ECN workflow.  Currently our idea is for our parts go from In Work to Under Review, then either Prototype, Pilot, or Released.  We want the Engineering work to complete on Change Tasks, then some SAP work to be done by various Implementors about the company.  Then, when those Implementation tasks are complete, we want the ECN to go to Resolved. The questionable area is between the completed Engineering work, and the final Resolution of the ECN. I'm calling this the 'in between' phase. The Engineering work is done and the parts are 'Released' yet more SAP must be completed before the ECN is really finished. The parts need to be in a state that SAP work can be don

I have created a folder in my created product. I want to set it to when a new part is created in the product, no matter where it is created, it will immediately be placed in my created folder. How would I set it to where this will happen? Do I modify the OIR of the parts that I want to be immediately placed in the folder? If so, how would I do this?

How to move replica site of a location to master site at aother location?   Can someone guide me with the steps involved in moving replica site from one site to another/master site.  

I need to create a new action for my created subtype. This has to appear in the actions present in the details page. Do I go into the folder system of the windchill server? How would I add actions to subtypes I create?

We are planning to switch to Windchill. Is there any installation documentation? where can I find it?

I'm currently trying to export a list of parts in my created product. I need to export the data to an excel sheet with the following columns: Name, number, revision, iteration, state, created date, modified date, container name. Where would I find the location of windchill that allows me to create an export template that I need and how would I do it?

When trying to do a set state on the created part(Which is in In work) it should show only one state in the drop down 'Approved'. Is this done in the created life cycle for the part? If so, how would I set this up?

I have written Data utility on WTDocument for getting PR number where WTPart number is same as WTDocumnet. I could retrieve the value, but I can't search document using value retrieved. I have attached source file herewith. Can any one help me ? Thanks in Advance.

I have a need to create ObjectBeans in the preProcess phase on the Form lifecycle which later phases such as the doOperation and the delegates phases will process as if those ObjectBeans had been created like the ones for a multi-creation table form.   I understand that it is the responsibility of the FormProcessorController or of a FormProcessor to create the ObjectBeans and to structure these into the simple list or in a more hierarchical form in a method such as preProcess() or createObjectBeanStructure().   Reviewing the provided Customization documentation and any samples which I can find, I do not find examples where ObjectBean.newInstance() or its parameterized form is called.   Therefore, I am a bit in the dark about how to properly instantiate new ObjectBeans. I can guess and try but any real example would be enlightening.   lvanzandt@sodius.com

Hello all,        I am beginner in Windchill, I want to know about Windchill Workflow? Why we use workflow? When we use that? Could anyone help me in this?    Thank You Sumit Patil  

I have a requirement to consume/Read/Retrieve the Engineering Images stored in the WindChill Data Store.I have some to do some basic CRUD operations through a Asp.net Core WebApi or MVC application.   Is there any API's for  for reading the engineering drawing images from the Windchill data store.   It would be great if I can get some samples in Asp.net MVC or Web-API for my requirement

All, Are you using this functionality in Windchill, if so what are your results?   Using “Open filtered CAD document structure in Creo View” shown in the image below for unpublished files, opens incorrect assembly structure. It tries to open the Creo Views files for the parts that it did publish and assembles them using the default coordinate system (or something like that) which is definitely not how they are assembled in Creo.   This create an incorrect viewable that people could accidently start using to create media, redlines, assembly instructions, etc.…… I am suggesting we investigate the how to turn off these links.   We are not using Positioning Assemblies yet.

After I define a new workflow template, I need to use this workflow for a document. How can I do this? Should I again go to utilities/workflow template Administration/choose the workflow template/ Right Mouse button/Initate Workflow process/..."    Understand there is another alternate method:  Need to cusotmize jsp pages etc., to add the menu along with the list of change processes    Is there any other better method?   Thanks...  - Ravi

hi, how to map the "source" attribute of catia in Windchill I created an enumeration with values : Unknown, Made, Bought, 0, 1, 2 , catProductBough, catProductMade and catProductSourceUnknown. but it does not work the error message is : The value of the Source attribute must be one of the following values: unknown, Made, Bought, 0, 1, 2, Unknown, Manufactured, Purchased, catProductSourceUnknown, catProductMade, catProductBought. The existing value may no longer be valid for this attribute.   thank

Hi, I am looking to extract the first 4 characters from an attribute to use elsewhere in Windchill. Is this possible?   I am attempting to grab the project code from a much longer project name  and the first 4 characters  are that code.

In the primary attributes layout of my Document Details tab, I would like to display the following: 1. State (not state.state, but just the sole state of the object) 2. VersionHistoryInfo (that which is stored under History Tab as Authorization)   Selecting New Attribute, I need potentially three bits of information for each: - internal name - Type (Would Alias be correct?) - Mapping text   Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Good morning, gurus!   I have an Or conditional in a workflow.  If evaluated once to loop back through, things are triggered fine, workflow is looped back.  If the or evaluates to loop through a second time, the workflow stalls.  No errors, nothing to show what happened.  I'm assuming there is a basic something I'm missing here (I do see that the wf detects there is a multiple routing of this branch, so maybe that?   I appreciate the help.   Brian Krieger   PS:  Even if the Or condition is simply hardwired as:   try { System.out.println("**PR Manager **Checking for Empty Key Roles**");  boolean continueOn = false; if(continueOn){  result="SetupComplete"; } else{  result="NotifyEmptyApr"; } }catch (Exception e) {  System.out.println("**PR Manager **Unkown Exception**");  result="NotifyEmptyApr";}   In this case, the "NotifyEmptyApr" branch would be executed.  Will

Hello all, I am new to the community and unfamiliar with administering WindChill..   I work for an international company that hosts its WindChill server across the pond. Each of the user installs that we are pushing out defaults to having its cache hosted on a local fikle server. Which wasn't really an issue until several of my users went to travel internationally and when they went to kick off WGM, having to access a cache on a local US share, while in Europe which is now causing some latency problems. That said, is there a good method for updating where items are cached (i.e. on the local disk as opposed to a share) after we have already installed WGM on the user's machine?

Hello,   is it possible to use the query builder to query all CAD objects that have a link to a Part and give me the part number and the association type (Owner/Image/Content). Best would be if I get the CAD objects that have no link to a part additionally.   Thank you.
