The date time format on windchill details page and windchill navigate OOTB apps search result page is different not in sync. On windchill details page the date and time format is UTC (The date format was changed from default yyyy-mm-dd to dd-mm-yyyy) On Navigate app search details page date time format is different its coming IST and date format is still deafult.Windchill Version 13.0.2.4Windchill Navigate(Formerly Thingworx Navigate) Version -9.7.0 Can the date time format be in sync at both places? 

Hi All, We have configured the CAD additional file types of the CAD document thumbnail in windchill. However we search the CAD documents in the Thingworx navigate app, it's not listing the additional files from windchill. Regards, Rajadurai R

We just upgraded my environment from WC 12 to WC 13 and Thingworx Navigate from 9.3 to 9.7. We had some custom apps developed which do some number assignment. I am getting an error in some services and I think its because its not grabbing the instance based attribute we added to the Product Container. In my Windchill system, we have added an attribute called PID: In Thingworx, there is a service that calls to get all the product container by PID which calls another service to get all the containers: // result: JSON var product = me.getProductContainers({ $filter: "PID eq '"+pid+"'" /* STRING */, $select: undefined /* STRING */, count: undefined /* BOOLEAN */ }); var result; if (product.value[0]) { result = product.value[0].ID; } Logs of another service show this:  Execution error in service script [GenerateNewDocumentNumbers] :: Your route exchange has failed. Service operation failed with status [ - The property 'PID', used in a query expression, is not defined in type 'PTC

I am currently making a mashup in ThingWorx 9.6.1-b253, that needs to call upon a few private services from the thing PTC.Nav,ViewPartStructure. I have tried making a template of that thing and making my own thing inside the same project I am currently doing my work in, as the error states: " Access Modifier Check Failed; Thing: [SMDCostingCalculator] SMDViewPartStructure, accessing ThingTemplate: [ptc.nav.PTC.Nav.Default] PTC.Nav.ViewPartStructureAppThingTemplate Scope: NONE, with Service: GetRepresentableInfo Scope: PRIVATE. Reason: Private Characteristics are accessible only from project in which they're defined." which i can guess is because my thing, SMDViewPartStructure, is not in the service of PTC.Nav.Default.  Is there any workaround to be able to call these services as i need them. I know its possible as my company has another template that calls upon the service in a mashup in another project and seems to work, yet doesnt work when called as a service. &n

Curious what others are doing. When you deploy apps, do you link directly to them or do you make use of the landing page? I can see my page getting very cluttered soon with an ever growing cluster of "custom apps" appearing at the bottom. I am sure I can create my own front end with direct links to each app but is there a more standard way of modifying the landing page or even making a new one? I can see just a simple reorganization and sorting might be helpful. 

I am using Windchill Navigate (formerly ThingWorx Navigate) Release 9.6 and Datecode with CPS F000I get these error messages when trying to access the service Part_GET_All in the Thing:ptc-windchill-OData-connector and am unable to use the serviceHere are the errors that I faced"Error occurred: Unable to execute service GetEndpointList on ptc-windchill-OData-connector : Your route exchange has failed. Resource Error [Failed to aggregate all metadatas, 10 were expected, but only 9 received]" and "Error occurred: Unable to execute service GetEndpointDefinition on ptc-windchill-OData-connector : Your route exchange has failed. Service operation failed with status [ - Cannot find type with name: PTC.Workflow.VotingEventAudit]"

Surprised I was not able to easily find this. I was successful at exporting and importing my custom groups but I would have expected that when I exported the navigate_view_named_group or navigate_contribute_named_group and tried importing them to my new server, it did not like this. I get that this is an OOTB group and there might be some restrictions around it.  I have hundreds of users I need to populate to these groups so what's the recommended solution?  We certainly aren't expected to manually load all these users in one by one right?

We have Thingworx Navigate platform where we have deployed 5 apps. We are using Windchill authentication for logging into Thingworx platform. There are two apps which requires manual access and rest of the apps are available for all the users.We are facing issue when user tries to login with different combinations of uppercase and lower case letters which in turns create 5 different username in Thingworx platform. Windchill does not have this issue. What are the ways we can prevent these situation.

I might not be doing things proper but trying to learn and do an upgrade in place (kind of) of Navigate while upgrading Windchill. Goal is to get to 9.7 and WC 13.0.2.  I have a clone on my test Navigate system and my upgrade target Windchill at 13.02. DB is SQLServer if that matters for Navigate. Thingworx appears to function and I can authenticate (which is to Windchill). I can see main page and Composer. I made sure all of the Odata connectors, integration connectors and proxy connectors map to the new temp hostname (-upgrade for my rehearsal 1). At the current time, I have not upgraded Navigate since I wanted to validate its functioning properly first. I have some custom apps which their own Odata connections and they seem to function fine. Its just the OOTB navigate apps that do not work. If it just as simple a running upgrade to bring it to 9.7 which would be supported with 13.02,  I can do that but its a one way street. If something else was wrong or it should work as

Does Thingworx Docker support, windchill Navigate?

Hello, is it possible to customize the drawing bundle app, to download additional file formats? I know it's called 'drawing bundle', but can it be modified to also download STEP/IGES files of the related 3D? best regards,Stijn

Hi Guys,Can we restrict download access in Navigate? Please provide a step that we can take to restrict the download access.Regards,Aj.

Hi,    I am trying to find the Project Management in the WRS, but I am not able to see:  Apart from that, I need to get the details of the Projects and their plans. Does anyone know what those APIs in WRS are for getting the project details?   Thanks,

Hello Devs, I'm new to Navigate and have created a custom task where I need the search to return only the latest released objects. However, it's currently fetching multiple released versions as well as objects in the Production Rework state.As it's a custom task, I can't control the search using a saved search.I tried using the following navigation criteria, but it didn’t work:State eq 'Released'Do I need to use a different navigation criteria, or is there an issue with this one? Could you provide a sample criteria to achieve the desired result?Thank you in advance.

Curious if anyone knows this. I will be moving to WC 13.0.2 and Navigate 9.7. I know my current system, that the current default Navigate apps use Legacy RESTEasy webservices. (right?) https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS359200?source=Bloop In the new versions, will that change over to OData? Have they been overhauled?

Noticed this folder at my site level: I am assuming that this get purged and cleanup at some point. Does anyone know what process, queue or service handles that? What is the frequency? Gives you some insight to the sausage making to that app. Seems like what it does is gathers the content, creates a zip and stores that in a WTDocument at the site level. Then the download link gets that content.

Hi,  Is there any custom API or way to publish the required cad files to get the additional representation from thingworx. If any please help me to achieve this. Thanks in advance.

We have a requirement to extract the part structure from a PVZ file. While we are currently able to display it using the ThingView widget, the goal is to extract the part structure from the PVZ file and present it in a tree grid.Additionally, upon selecting a part in the grid, the corresponding part should be highlighted in the 3D view. I would like to understand:Is this functionality achievable in ThingWorx?Is there a way to read the PVZ file and extract its structure?Can this be accomplished using any existing extensions or OOTB (Out-Of-The-Box) functions, or will we need to develop custom extensions? Thanks in advance!

We have been following the PTC article CS332905 to create a ThingWorx mashup. However, we have encountered some challenges midway through the process and are unable to proceed further. The details of the challenges we face are given below.Binding the inputs to the output in the mashupWe would greatly appreciate your assistance or if you could direct us to any additional resources that might help us resolve these issues.

Hello, We have configured Navigate using Windchill-based authentication. However, the customer is now changing the ThingWorx and Windchill server URLs. Other than below pointers, anything else need to take care? Add the new ThingWorx URL to the allowlist on the Windchill side.Update the Windchill URL in all integration connectors and configurations. Thank you in Advance. -Abhiram  

Hi,   Is there any REST API in Windchill that can be used in Thingworx Navigate to remove a user from License Groups?   Thanks.

Planning a system upgrade with Windchill 12 to 13 as well. Looking to see who has been down this road ahead of me and to share feedback. Specifically these questions: 1. Will Navigate 9.6 work with Windchill 12.0.2 CPS8? Or will it fail since CPS is not current? If it does work, it would be great since I do not need to upgrade both at the same time. 2. Does upgrade in place alter or update the database? Just need to know in rehearsals if DB has to be reset as well.  3. Will any custom apps be an issue? I have a few in there. Just checking if there are any special concerns here.
