Windchill Customization

Greetings, We only use an eBOM. Our company is new to the idea of wtParts. Historically, the tools and fixtures that are needed to make a component are called out as children to the component they are used to make. This was displayed in our ERP system. In Windchill, we did not include these tools/fixtures in the BOM.   We created a tool/fixture part for all the tools and fixtures we use.   Our plan is to have these tools and fixture Parts be parents of any components that requires a tool or fixture to make it.   The plus side is the eBOM will not include these tools / fixtures. The downside is that when a tool/fixture Part is released, it could be published via ESI to our ERP system.   The tools and fixtures are called out in text within the manufacturing document that is used to make the assembly. Our manufacturing documents are created in Arbortext (subtype EPMdocument) and would require a described by relationship. To get around this, we use a Publ

The problem: I need some task instructions that are robust enough to require multi tiered list but not so robust that they require a whole other document.   The solution: Indented lists in the Task.   OOTB the tasks in Windchill look similar to the following... You have been assigned a task for the change notice. 1. Review the object displayed. 2. Complete the work required. 3. Enter comments in the Comments text field below. 4. Click Complete Task to advance the change activity. You have been selected as a Evaluator of the Nonconformance. To complete the task:-   a. Add comments(Optional) and save the task. If no comments are required, skip this step.   b. Click on the <b>Task Action</b> and identify the Business Impact.   c. Determine if <b>Further Investigation</b> is required.   d. Determine if <b>Disposition</b> needs to be performed for the Nonconformance.   e. Click <b>Complete Task&

I am in need of a resource for workflow code writing? We are on Windchill PDMLink 11, M020 Nothing very complicated. On a CR, I need a bit of code that would: If primaryBusinessObject = INWORK then set sate UNDERREVIEW, else do nothing.   Any item on a CR that is submitted that is in a In Work state should be set to Under Review. If it's not in a state of In Work then do nothing to that item. I would then also need to back that out again on a rework loop. If its Under Review then set to In Work, if its anything else then do nothing to that item.  

Does anyone know how to hide the example action groups supplied with Windchill 11 M030. 

Hi everyone, I have to hide attributes from the 'new downstream part' page in MAPSB of Windchill 11.0. it seems to be GWT page but I'm not able to find where the 'layout' is defined for the GWT pages. Thanks !

Hi. I want use non persistable class to wrap data for table row in ComponentBuilder. But i get the exception: Error while adding component data java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ptc.core.components.beans.DataUtilityBean.getRowOid(DataUtilityBean.java:610) at com.ptc.core.components.beans.DataUtilityBean.doFirstPass(DataUtilityBean.java:584) at com.ptc.core.components.command.delegate.ModelCommandDelegate.execute(ModelCommandDelegate.java:182) What should i do? Is it possible use custom class for this purpose? I can't find any code example in Help Center/Customization guide. Thanks.

I need to validate 'SETSTATE' action after clicking on 'OK' button. Can someone tell me how to invoke or customize OOTB 'OK' button in SETSTATE action page?

Little help with this please. Anyone know why a given Role (in this case Change Administrator) is able to modify the CR team in all the Product containers except one and not any Library? I have all my access Policy controls set at Org level including Team object (Ready, Modify). The Actions per role on the team page are also the same for each location?  

I have been tasked with installing CATIA CAA RADE V5-6R2016 SP3 on a client's machine. I've installed VS (Visual Studio) 2008 SP1 and VS 2012 Update 4 with hotfixes, as suggested in Dassault Systemes' (publisher of CATIA) program directory:   But, I am unable to integrate RADE into Visual Studio. Could it have anything to do with the parenthetical statements in the second column: "CRT and MFC Redistributables are delivered with V5 media..."? What are CRT and MFC distributables? I couldn't find anything on Google.   I come to your aid because I found a post in PTC Technical support categorized under Windchill that matches my current dilemma almost exactly:   https://support.ptc.com/apps/solution_preview/solution/lang/presolution?lang=en&n=CS233381   Could anyone who can access PTC Technical Support/eSupport tell me what PTC support's answer was to solve the issue?   Thank you.

Is there any API to get associated Change request of Problem report ?

Am I able to use Work Group Manager Toolkit with Visual Studio 2013? Is here any training opportunity for programming with WGM Toolkit? Ideally in Europe (best in Czech Republic).

Hi, I want to know is there any way i can pass the username and password in the Windchill url so that the user need not enter it when accessing the secured resource so the pop up box does not appear.   i.e.  https://SITE/Windchill/rfa/logout/LogOutRedirect.jsp ?j_username="test"&j_password="test"   Or if there is a way we can do this through a TomCat Server

Community members -   Do a lot of you use the check for duplicate models capability in ModelCheck? If so, does it work well for you? Anyone know of any good videos/information demonstrating this capability?  

Has anyone change the name from Issues to Problem Report (see picture)?  I would like to change this, does anyone have the steps to change? Greg

Good Morning, I am looking for some (a lot of) help. I have a CR workflow that I need to lock down (Set to UNDERREVIEW)  any Affected Data that is "INWORK" state but do nothing if it is not. As I have a rework loop, I need to opposite. Anything that is "UNDERREVIEW" to INWORK else nothing.   Cheers.   Requirement.

Hi All, Today I tried to rename the rehost utility in a windchill 10.2. After launching the bat and after configuring the file rehost.propeties I return the following error:   BUILD FAILED C:\ptc\conf\rehost.xml:103: com.ptc.wc.rehost.exception.RehostException: java.sql.SQLRecoverableException: IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection Nested exception is: java.sql.SQLRecoverableException: IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection     at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CConnection.logon(T4CConnection.java:489)     at oracle.jdbc.driver.PhysicalConnection.<init>(PhysicalConnection.java:553)     at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CConnection.<init>(T4CConnection.java:254)     at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CDriverExtension.getConnection(T4CDriverExtension.java:32)     at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.connect(OracleDriver.java:528)     at java.sql.DriverManager.get

Greetings, We are on V11, M020. My Doc Control group is able to modify the Members on the Change Team on a Change Notice but I do not see the same ability on a Variance.   Anyone know how to provide that ability.  

In Windchill 10.2 the Subject (PBO) is above the Instructions section.  In Windchill 11.0 the Subject (PBO) is below the deadline.  We would like to move it back up to above the Instructions.   I'm trying to figure out  what is controlling the configuation.  Our workflow tasks are set to use JPS (Default).  I have found another post indicated that if the workflow task activity is set to use JPS the Task Info Page Layout from the Work Item object in the Type and Attribute Management is used.  When I look at the Task Info Page Layout, the Subject is in the correct locations.  I have also looked at the Task From Templates (default JSP), but I don't have an JSP editor to test moving the Subject (PBO).  I have also opened a call with PTC, but they told me I would have to talk to the customization team.  I have attached some screen shots.  

Hello all,    I am trying to write a code that can open an EPM Document in CREO through Windchill Workgroup Manager so that I can download the file with proper links because contentwriter is removing leading zeroes from the .prt number , due to which the links with the drawing are not coming properly and I am not able to open the downloaded .prt file in CREO .If anyone has faced this issue can he/she tell me the solution .

Hi I have a problem that is pending for 2 weeks now, and I can't find the cause of it. I have a call to a method inside a java expression that looks like this;  The method executes and I see results in the bg method server but when the method terminates it gives next error; I am sure I am returning a String. obsResult is defined as a Java string in the properties of the Approval process. What can be the cause of this error, please help ?  

I have modeled a gearbox casing which consist of three different sub assemblies(Top, Middle and bottom which was modeled in TOP-DOWN approach) composed of fabricated steel plates using CREO-2.0 for structural analysis. I have provided fastener connection between these three sub assemblies. In each sub assemblies, I have used weldment feature for joining the different plates(It is also defined under simulate menu). During meshing(AutoGEM) I'm geting 4 errors in the diagnostics tab as following.   1. Creo Simulate removed some small curves from the model. The removal tolerance is set from the Geometry Tolerance dialog box (AutoGEM > Geometry Tolerance). Fewer curves are removed if you decrease the Minimum Curve Dimension value. 2. AutoGEM may not be able to complete because the volume boundaries either intersect or overlap near the highlighted surfaces 3. The ratio of the thickness to the radius of curvature is too large for the highlighted surface(s).  The thickness multipl

Hi all, I wanted to ask if you can tell me the steps for a proper rehost. I would do it without rehost utility I read the guide, but I would like to understand it better. Thank you so much!

Hi, I have used this case item https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS153902#_ga=2.74008146.1721421084.1499644934-1088247561.1431470961 to get the work item records I want to complete through an API call. And this case https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS234435 tells you how to complete the work item once you have it. But from the records I get through a SQL query, I have the unique key for the work item (idA2A2 from table WorkItem), but how do I get the WorkItem object in code from this unque key.   If I try a search condition such as SearchCondition condition = new SearchCondition(WorkItem.class, WorkItem.IDENTITY, SearchCondition.EQUAL, iWorkItemId); I get an error that says Caused by: Attribute "identity" is not a member of class "class wt.workflow.work.WorkItem"   If I try SearchCondition condition = new SearchCondition(WorkItem.class, "workitem.persistinfo.key.id", SearchCondition.EQUAL, iWorkItemId); I get a similar error. &nb
