Windchill Navigate

I want to know if RestEasy framework for developing Windchill Restful Web services is still supported. This is still available in Windchill 11.0 version. What is the road map and recommendation of developing Restful web services. I recall WRS oDATA is supported way going forward however I think PTC is still supporting RestEasy framework.   Another thing Windchill infoengine tasks can be executed by wrapper server in Thingsworx ExecuteTask service. This method is deprecated in the future Windchill releases. What is the recommendation around this?   thanks, Preeti

Hello,   we developed scripts using WindchillConnector template services. Those worked fine with connecting to Windchill and getting data publishing on twx mashups.   Later I came across WindchillSwaggerConnector template. The REST API features seems to be powerful.   So I got few questions. Could you clarify these please ?   1. Why two templates with same " Windchill connection" feature ? reason ?2. Which template should be used in a long run project ? 3. Is there any framework or sample  present to refer on "how to use WindchillSwaggerConnector" more efficiently ?   Many Thanks!Rajesh

I am exploring SWAGGER Rest API. I am able to pull the part structure for latest revision using  /structure/objects/{objectId}/descendants rest call. However, I would like to pull Part structure for previous revisions as well. I have checked parameters used in this API as well. But I don't see any exact parameter where we can pass the revision number and get the part structure.  Does anybody has an idea idea what exactly we need to pass as a parameter to get the Part Structure for previous revision(s)?   Thank you in advance!   Thanks, Rizvan

When using any app (Example: View Drawing) when launched, the system takes you to the search page. How do I get the cursor to automatically be in the search bar. I want users to be able to start typing right away when they see the search bar, no need to click in it before typing.  Not a coder, but I believe this is something to do with autofocus?

Hi Developers,   I'm working on ThingWorx 8.0.1 with Navigate View 1.5.0. I was able to perform basic RESTOperations such as fetching a NONCE Token from a Service, Creating a part,....   I had to use the URI's that were exposed from windchill for these services.

Hi   Trying to install Navigate 1.6. When accessing ThingWorx with the configuration so far, request the user certificate to Windchill and proceed to LandingPageAccessAppMashup. However, the design data can not be loaded. I installed Windchill in a state where HTTPS configuration was not completed. The guide says that Windchill's SSL (understood as HTTPS configuration) configuration is essential for Navigate installation. Therefore, we configured Windchill as HTTPS with a self-signed certificate for resolution. I then reset the ptc-windchill-intergraion-connector. Previously, we set the base URL to http: // <hostID> / Windchill. At that time, ValidateConnection returned success. I changed it to https: // <hostID> / Windchill / sslClientAuth when I set it up newly. We also added the ssl keystore path and password to ptc-winndchill-intergration-connector-proxy. The path is <PTC_Windchill> / java / lib / security / cacerts. However, ValidateConnetion returns a failu

Hi Developers,   We are working on custom apps with the Navigate Extension. We're successful in creating the apps and adding them to the landing page of the Administrator. We've added seven apps to the landing page and they are visible for the Administrator. But when we're trying to give the visibility for non-admin user groups, there are only five apps available in the permission screen of the administrator. When we removed one custom app, then a new app is available in the permission screen. Is there anyway to show all the custom apps in the permission screen?   Thanks and Regards, SaranKarthick K R 

Hello everyone. I have experience installing and customizing Windchill, but I am new to Navigate and thingworx installation. After refering software matrices, I came to conclusion that Postgre and H2 are the only databases supported for navigate installation. But in my client location they are having below mention servers, so how should I tackle below mentioned problems/ address questions? Any reply regarding the subject would be of great importance.    Question 1: Is it possible to install PTC navigate 1.5 and Thingworx 8.0.1 when there is a windows server 2012 and MSSQL 2016 standard database in production environment? If it is possible how should it be done?  (Requesting for documents and useful links)   Question 2: Is it possible to install PTC navigate 1.5 and Thingworx 8.0.1 when there is a windows server 2008 and Oracle 11g database in test environment? If Yes,  how should it be done?  (Requesting for documents and useful links) &nbsp
