Windchill Customization

How do we display Change Task in a Folder View? The Default "Change Objects" does not display Task. I do not see an option to include Change Task in a customized View. V11 M020 Cheers.

In our company the Deviation process is a Quality owned process.  Prior to implementing Deviation, we have implemented Nonconformance and have Quality Libraries.  I would like to limit the creation of Deviations to only Quality Libraries (which would force them into using the Changes tab of Browse to even see them, but we can cover that in training).   My question, assuming I figure out how to limit the creation of Deviations to just Quality Libraries (all the while managing ACLs at the Org level), how do I get "Create Variance" added to the Quality Action Links on the Homepage?

Hi Everyone, I'm an intern at a large company who is very new to Windchill. I've been tasked to "audit" Product PRs, CRs, and CNs with the end goal of understanding which ones conform to our specific Global Change Process and which ones are leaving things out. For example, I'd like to be able to generate a list of recent Problem Reports and then have the ability to look at a individual report and verify if the user added a Number, Name, Requestor, Problem Category, etc etc. when they generated a problem report. Any suggestions or better ways to go about this would be greatly appriciated. Thanks.

Hi everyone,   I have a problem with my custom action validators. I created some custom actions and attached custom validators to them. I extend the DefaultUIComponentValidator class and override the preValidateAction function. The possible results based on the verifications are DENIED or ENABLED. However when I log in with a user that is not added to any organization (Site level user) and added as Member to a product, I don't see the action. Using jcaDebug it tells me that the action is HIDDEN by my validator. How is this possible? I don't set it to HIDDEN in any case. This is only happening if the user is not added to any organization.   Thx in advance for suggestions! BR, Tamás

I am attempting to create my own custom workflow email notification template and I'm confused about the right way to use methods for dynamic text inside the template.  In the help documentation it show the methods inside (what I think are) comments.  For example:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill>   <!--  getPrimaryBusinessObjectName  --></SCRIPT>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------However looking in the existing email templates I'm seeing a mix.  Some items are inside comments and others are not.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Activity Description: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> <!-- activityDescriptionPlain --> </SCRIPT>Business Object: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> <!-- primaryBusinessObjectLinkPlain --> </SCRIPT>Go to Process Manager: <SCRIPT L

Last December Daktronics brought the first of many Quality processes into Windchill from Infopath, Nonconformance.  There were many things to figure out but one of those things was the capturing of reporting location (which manufacturing line, value stream, or area is reporting this NC).  We decided to capture it in the ncCategoryCode classification tree.  This has been working great and now we are moving onto our second Quality process to migrate into Windchill from Infopath, Temporary Deviation Report (or Deviation as Windchill would call it).  Since this is a Quality owned process, we're going to have some growing pains considering the differences between Change objects and Quality objects.  The first one I have come across is how do we capture the same value stream information in Deviation that we are in Nonconformance.We don't want to reinvent the wheel here, so the first thing I wanted to try was enable the ncCategoryCode classification that's on NC in De

We have a custom publish service, and are having issues with records not being retrieved in the order they are written.There are a number of "batch" processes that use a global transaction to process all data in the batch.  When this happens, the individual records are not committed until the entire batch is processed.  But since we are running a multi-threaded (multiple MS on multiple app servers) environment, other threads write to the table and commit immediately.Then when a read request is received, the read is based on the last transaction ID sent from the app.  When the uncommitted records exist, they end up being skipped.Has anybody dealt with how to ensure publishes to downstream systems happen in the proper order, especially when dealing with batch and interactive processes at the same time?

Hi ,Can someone help me on this !

Hello,In the "Visualization Configuration Administration" UI in the Utilities of Windchill, I had set the .xml file so as to have additional files (pdf for drawings, step for parts and asm) to be created in the default representation of the publisher, that can be easily and quickly downloaded without having to manually make additional representations every time.They are obviously supposed to automatically update if the part/drw is modified and checked-in (according to the "Latest" logic).The problem I have now is that, after modification and check in, while for drawings it's all ok (the thumbnail updates, and so does the associated pdf), for the parts instead the thumbnail updates but not the additional files (step and iges), which are not available any more for downloading: If want them, I have to re-publish the default representation.I enclose a video which shows this. Video Link : 7970 Why? And how could I fix this?Thanks

Hi,Is there an API through which I enumerate the list of all available groups in my Windchill. I'm able to do this through an Oracle Query from the Database but still would like to know if this can be achieved through any available API, rather than going through the process of having a read only account for Database and resolving the Database query from my code.Thanks in advance!Amarkarthi

How to add a link to  WTDocument in 'New Part Creation' Screen?

If I want to maintain an xml file (which is used for some attributes comparison between windchill and a third party system), where is the right place to keep that file?

Can Windchill Support Vietnam Language?

Hi everyone,We are looking to see if anyone has information on the ability to add a Select Participants step in the Change Objects (PR, CR, CN) creation wizard that would allow an author of the object to setup members in different roles, like Change Admin II, or the CIB team; rather than waiting for a task to be assigned to them with the Set-Up Participant tab. This could be similar to Step 3 (Select Participants) in the Promotion Request creation, but we would like to have the ability to limit the team roles that are available for an author to add a user.I did some searching on PTC.com and in the Customization Guide, but did not discover anything. We are currently running PDMLink v10.2 M030-CPS21Thanks for the help in advance.-William

Hello Everyone.I am trying to get the approver's name from a promotion request and assign it to an IBA inside a wt.doc.WTDocument. Does anyone know a straight forward way to accomplish that?
