Looking into the possibility of capturing user actions against roles and groups. Would like to know which user added individuals to roles in which containers. We can create a table in the database or just a flat file. Database would allow for easier filtering and searching.

windchill installation stuck at 50% from three days so what to do?

Customer QuestionWe are into our first week of using the new Windchill system, and so far we are liking it. However, I do have one question for you. Previously, in Intralink 3.4, we were able to locate a specific check in form, and delete it along with the part iterations introduced, effectively undoing the check-in.So far I have not found a way to do this using Windchill. I would like to be able to find a specific check-in, see what parts were modified, and delete the latest iteration of those parts.

I have created a change notice but don't want to use advanced life cycle but when I use Basic it seems I am not advancing my CAD objects though the workflow but only advancing the workflow itself?  I am new to the workflow creation and think My issue might be right at the beginning because I don't get a task assigned.  Goes straight to my updates?  I would send a screen shot of my workflow but have since deleted it because it didn't work.  Going to start from scratch.  The life cycle I want to use is the OOTB two phase..  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in AdvanceEd

Currently Windchill Workgroup Manager doesn't support these drawing formats extensions .slddrtUser have to store the formats files in a shared folder to insert or modify a frame in a drawing.These files would be managed by Windchill

Is it possible to create an attribute on a object (CAD Doc) that when the objects iterates (check-in or revise), the previous value of the attribute will not copy forward?

We don't currently use WTParts here (back 10+ years from how things were at Alcon...) and have no current plans.I'm simplifying Windchill where possible.  Would like to remove the Parts link from CAD Doc, Related Objects tab.  It's a matter of finding the right block in \Windchill\codebase\config\actions\???actionmodels.xml, copying it to custom-actionmodels.xml and then removing.  I can't find the file that has the related objects page definition.  Tech support w/PTC pending for a few days now - the TSE hasn't yet found it either.  Must be something very simple.  Appreciate answers.thx

One of the most annoying things about Windchill has got to be its interface with Java.Just finished re-hosting Windchill/Intralink 10.2 M030 to a test system and would like to look at the "Vault Configuration" but something regarding Java is not working?I believe I'm running the correct non-latest version (7.0.790). I have the correct "Exception Site Lists" defined.Prior to posting I have spent hours searching for solution but nothing has worked?May I ask what are the key steps to properly get this to work?

Hi, I think there would be benefit in allowing the System Name (System Tree Table) to be able to be selected for use as a filter.Currently I use a FRACAS group to collate system files from several project to run reports/graphs.  However, we also wish to be able to select one of the listed system names individually without having to open the project is resides in.Adding a filter which allows you to select a system file from projects you have access to would be beneficial.cheersBernadette
