Windchill Navigate

Hello everyone, I have to build a Custom App in PTC Navigate 1.5.2 that can download Windchill representable files (ex pvz, pvs). I already have a Java class that query Windchill and extract representation download URL; now I wondering if it is possible use some service already defined in Navigate or I must write a my own extension.   Another question is how i can develop a Thingworx extension that can use the Windchill API.   Thank you Giorgio

Hello,   I am trying to use PTC Navigate 1.1 for Windchill 10.1 M040. I have successfully installed Thingworx 6.5 which is compatible for Windchill 10.1 M040. Further, I have configured the Thingworx Composer as suggested in Install and Configuration guide of PTC Navigate 1.1. Through the PTC Navigate GUI (PTC.AccessApp.Master mashup), when I try to search on for any option given, the results comes "No results found for entered information." When searched on PTC, found an article regarding installation of Patch for Windchill 10.1 M040, but I have it installed. I cannot browse any Windchill data on Navigate. I have mentioned the URL of Windchill in ptc-windchill-demo-thing on Configuration tab. My Windchill url is http://localhost:90/Windchill. I am searching in Navigate by Administrator account and wcadmin is also added in the Administrator group of Thingworx. Does anyone have knowledge of this or similar experience to understand the efficacy and issues.   Regards, Amar

I am using Thingworx 8.1.1 war file and acquired licenses for navigate and Twx (attached image of the licenses acquired in Licenses.jpeg). I have two apps imported in Twx and which are viewable in Twx 8.0.1, but in Twx 8.1.1 on LandingPageAccessAppMashup I am not able to see any app tiles. I have added 'Administrator' to two navigate user groups available but still I am not able to view those apps.   In help document I found some information written regarding licensing as,      "ThingWorx 8.1 and later requires that a instance-specific license activation ID is added to the platform-settings.json file that is located in the ThingworxPlatform folder. Multiple IDs must be separated by a comma. Activation IDs are provided in the entitlement letter or via the Manage Licenses section of the PTC Support Portal"   I have attached licenses I am able to see in Licensing Sub-system in attached image 'LicensingSubSystem.jpg'. Anyone has any idea about what value we ne

Hello,   In the Navigate 1.5 doc there's mentioned NavigateOrganization organization which should help with setting the visibility. But as far as I can see, this organization is no longer in the PTC Navigate 1.5. Could anyone please confirm?

Hi all, I'm working on a POC where I'm using PTC Navigate(1.5.1). Similar to 'View Document' ootb app in the Landing Page, I'm developing an app 'View Issue Document' app where the user can see only the Issue Documents(a sub-type of wtDocument). I am able to get only the Issue docs to be displayed  but I can't download its primary content. Can the ootb app (View Document) configured to see only the subtype of wtDocument? If not, then which services should I use in my custom app to achieve the download functionality?   Thanks in Advance.   Regards, Saran

Hi   Has anyone successfully installed Navigate 1.5 without PingFederate SSO? All documentation I found includes the steps to configure PingFederate configuration for SSO. As I am trying this on Dev server, I am trying to skip the SSO.   When I test the services on ptc-windchill-demo thing, I get the results. But when I access the apps that use the same service, no results are showing up. I also tried the REST URL generated in Runtime Integration window when we use the app. That  gives the results when accessed in stand alone browser.   Does Navigate 1.5 without SSO?   Thanks Mahesh

Hi,I'm working on a POC where the customer want to create a Issue document in windchill. They also want to attach a file along with the document.

Hi I'm Seon Ho.     After applying the Navigate extension, I can see Windchill's information through Thingworx by adding the Windchill Administrator account to the Thingworx Administrators group. This is a question about how to make a more detailed configuration.     There is no single organization or product in windchill.     First, do I need to distribute it to each organization or group of organizations?     If you add a group called sales to Thingworx and then log in to Windchill's account, it will be automatically added to the group called sales. Can it be mapped by organization, team, role, or group? If you can, let me know how.     When you log in to Thingworx with a Windchill account, an account is created automatically. Can you automatically map the language of the account that is created to match the language you set in Windchill? If you can, let me know how. Reference. [I set the preference language to Korean or English to cr

Hi I'm SeonHo   I have a question about Thingworx Navigate.     First, how do you navigate through mobile?   Second, Mashup's Creo View through the part structure view is not displayed. PTC Creo View Control is in use in the Manage Add-ons section of Internet Options. View & Measure 3D is displayed. However, you can not see the Creo View on the left side of the Part Structure view.     my Thingworx 7.3 and navigate 1.4 Tomcat 8.0.46 IE11 Windchill 11.0 M020 and that installed VMware Thank you for your help.

Hi i'm SeonHo     I installed the Navigate. However, an error occurs when accessing Thingworx. The DNS address of the server is not found. It can be used by registering server DNS in hosts file. I added address = "0.0.0.0" to tomcat's server.xml to access Thingworx from outside and added the port on which tomcat is running to the inbound rule. Thingworx can be accessed in the same way as above, but is not accessible after Navigate installation. What should I do? Do I have to configure the reverse proxy to allow external access to Windchill to view Navigate from outside? Should Thingworx Navigate be installed on another Windchill server with a reverse proxy configured?     thank

Hi I'm SeonHo   The current situation is that I installed the navigate extension and redirected it to navagate when I signed into Composer with Windchill's account However, if you log in with your Windchill account, you will see "Unable to invoke service CollectApps on AppCollectionsConsolidator: You do not have permission to navigate apps.Please contact the Administrator". However, as an Administrator's account (It changed the password to wcadmin after configuring the navigate.) I tried to modify AppCollectionConsolidator after logging in and it was not possible to fix it.(it was only view possible) How do I view data through navigate with a Windchill account? How do I set it up?     thank

Hi everyone,   I've been having issues with the OOTB task "View Document". Whenever I try to open a document I get the following Status Message: "Unable to Invoke Service GetDocument on DocumentAccessAppThing : Configuration error, target not includes base URL: https://[myserver]/Windchill/servlet/WindchillAuthGW/com.ptc.wvs.server.ui.UIHelper/getPartStructureED?partid=OR%3Awt.doc.WTDocument%3A228052&ncCacheCookieType=ViewablesWS&visnav=1&navcriteriaid=320326141991536014&ncCacheHostName=aa7282b2-3085-4016-bba5-efae6d75b68b&levels=-1&ncCacheSessionId=05bdfe20-2915-49fe-bf75-1a765cc1fda1&u8=1"   Also a bunch of widgets are broken as well as shown in the following image.   I tried to trace the Service that is causing this error, but can't find any "configuration" or property to solve what the Status message states. Has anybody else had an issue like mine?? Thanks in advance for any suggestion.   TWX 8.0.1 Navigate 1.5.1 Windchill 11.0 M030

Hello,   I have a trouble with Tree Table widget which comes from Windchill extension. Wherever it placed, it occupies exactly 50% of available width, even on pure Mashup without any other elements and without any settings at all. Screenshots are attached. If someone knows how to make it occupy all the width, I will be very thankful.
