The prior admin created a custom entry screen for Change Request information but left no documentation as to where it was located or what he actually did. I tried searching for some text in the form, but found nothing. Does someone know where a modofoed form may be stored in Windchill? This was done at V9 and been migrated to 9.1, then rehosted to 10.0. The upgrade manager found the file because it did make it to the V10 server.

New to WindChill
Can Document numbers be changed to Part Numbers and vise-versa by modifying attributes?
What is Common Base or CommonPDM
We are getting close to beginning our installation of Windchill 10.2 M020. We are currently at Windchill 10.1 M040. I noticed that Common Base was in the PDMLink downloads. The only information I have been able to find on it was through the version.xml
Does anyone have any information as to what Common Base or CommonPDM is and/or what its function is?
Thanks,

PTCs System Monitoring and Java Runtime Environment 64-bit
All,
For a while I have been struggling with the fact that PSM client.jnlp will only work with the 32 bit version of the Java JRE.
Recently JRE 1.7 update 71 came out and the client.jnlp will no longer start up and run.
I use a 64-bit HP workstation and load both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions of the JRE routinely.
I contacted PTC tech support and they inform me that their PSM client in certified for Jave 1.6 32-bit. So we went through a lot of trial and error to get it to use the latest Java 1.7 update 71. Nothing would get it to work, so on my one I started the arduous troubleshooting process:
I did some testing and found the following:
I uninstalled all Java from the computer and rebooted.
I installed JRE 1.6_38 32-bit
Ran PTC’s PMS client.jnlp and it worked fine.
I installed JRE 1.7_55 32-bit
Ran PTC’s PMS client.jnlp and it worked fine.
I installed JRE 1.7_65 32-bit
Ran PTC’s PMS client.jnlp and it worked fine.
I installed JRE 1.7_67 32-bit
Ran PTC’s PMS client.jnlp and it worked fine.
I installed JRE 1.7_71 32-bit
Ran PTC’s PMS client.jnlp and it will not run.
I uninstalled JRE 1.7_71 32-bit and reinstalled JRE 1.7_67 32-bit and 64-bit
I ran PTC’s PMS client.jnlp and it worked fine with the 32 bit version.
Apparently there is something in the JRE 1.7_71 which will not allow the PMS client to run.
Has anyone else run into this issue? What was your resolution?
Our IT people request that we use the latest Java versions for security reasons.
The fact that commonly used applications are not compatible with the software that is trying to plug the security holes is not acceptable. Am I wrong?

Add Preference for user to select font size in Windchill
OOTB does not have function or setting to allow user to change the font size and it is fixed. the work around is to set the font size from browser which it also change other website too.
It is better to have a preference so user can change to from preference management.
Display Process in HTML5 instead of applet
Why Windchill always using Applet for Wfprocess view? It's hard to using for end-user.
I try to design a HTML 5 jsp progarm ,and the Jsp insted of OOTB wfprocess view by datautility.
How to implement a DataUtility on IBA which is in PartUsageLink
Hi,
There is an IBA created in Part Usage Link to get some information about the Link object. I am able to add this IBA in Part Usage Link. But i want to render this IBA with a Drop Down list.
Will it be possible to render IBA (in a custom way) in the Part Usage Link in PSB
For your information, I am using Windchill PDMLink 10.2
Thanks in Advance.

Document Management Integrations - Anyone Considering Office365?
PTC recieves a fair amount of questions about providing an integration to Office365 lately. I'm curious if there's folks out there using Office365 now and what type of connectivity you'd like to have with Windchill?
To me, the main difference is the option to use the Microsoft Office Web Applications instead of the locally installed Office applications and the content has a high probability of residing in the O365 cloud, OneDrive or an on-premise SharePoint implementation. The Office Web Apps are only supported on SharePoint and cannot be directly integrated into a non-SharePoint solution.
It seems like a "Send to Windchill" option would be nice to have, but I'm curious if there are any other use cases or needs people might have?

extended license report for Windchill 10.2
Hi there,
I would like to plot an extended license report for Windchill 10.2 Essentials.
We have a Windchill Essentials installation running with two licenses. The ordinary license report says, that there are sometimes three licenses used.
I want to check, if those usage were from three different persons or if this was because someone was logged in from the same machine twice (like the site-adminstrator is testing cad-author account). So a list with date, time, number of users, user (+ IP address) would be great.
Bye

Conditions to create WTPart on CAD part auto create and associate
Hi Experts,
I am building CAD driven product structure.
I have enabled auto create and Auto associate of WTPart when CAD object is checked in.
I want to create condition for WTPart creation [by auto creation] based on the attribute/object type from the CAD assembly.
- If the CAD object is Generic – Skip creating the WTPart
- If the CAD object has the attribute “BOM” with value “No” – Skip creating the WTPart
- If the CAD object has the attribute “COMP” with value “No” – Create Gathering Part instead of WTPart.
Let me know the possibility to achieve this.
- OIR configuration ?
- Attribute level conditions ?
- Customisation ?
Thanks

OIR default string value
Hi,
I'm trying to learn how to set up OIRs and I ran into a problem.
I'm setting up a Part subtype, Vendor Part, with a standard soft attribute acme.vendor.VendorPartComment as a multi-line string. I want the new part wizard to display "No comments yet." by default.
Currently, my OIR for the Vendor Part contains the following pertaining to the comments:
<AttrValue id="acme.vendor.VendorPartComments" algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.StringConstant">
<Arg>No comments yet.</Arg>
</AttrValue>
<AttrConstraint id="acme.vendor.VendorPartComments" algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GatherAttributeConstraints">
<Value algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GetServerPreGeneratedValue"/>
</AttrConstraint>
I'm using the same logic for the part name, and the wizard is displaying a default name correctly, but not this comment. The only difference between the two that I see is that the comment is displayed as a multi-line string vs a single-line string for the name.
Furthermore, the "No comments yet." appears after I create a vendor part, just not in the creation wizard.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
SK
Creo view 3.0 M010 hangs while opening multiple drawings
When multiple drawings are opened from multiple sessions and multiple tabs of windchill,creo view hangs with a loading symbol.
Windchill version is 10.2M010. , Creo view lite is 3.0 M010 build15.
No information errors or warnings are seen in the trace logs.
Is there any limit on opening the no. of documents or on the no. of windchill sessions to be used to open drawings in creoview?
Any comments or information shared would be most helpful.
Thanks,
Pavithra.
How to set WTPartNumber by OIR when part is created from a CAD-item
Hi everybody,
I´m using windchill 9.1 and Creo Parametrics 2.
When creating a new CAD-item (assembly or item) in creo I can enter
- name (EpmDocumentMaster.CADName/EpmDocumentMaster.Name)
- description (EpmDocument.NoteIterationInfo)
When cheking in, the auto-creation of a WTPart is enabled. So we get a WTPart with the
- same name (WTPartMaster.Name)
- same description (WTPart.NoteIterationInfo)
as entered.
The WTPartMaster.WTPartNumber is genereated by a counter-sequence. But I want it so be the same as the name (as entered). So I tried to change the OIR of WTPart, but when applying it, the machine can´t find the attribute "name"?! I´m not sure, if I completely understand the OIR. The rule applies to both tables WTPart and WTPartMaster?
Here is the OIR for WTPart and "number" (the older entries are wrapped with a comment):
<!-- set the number to a generated number -->
<!--OLD-ENTRY <AttrValue id="number" algorithm="com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.revisionControlled.server.impl.NumberGenerator"> -->
<AttrValue id="number">
<!-- add a V prefix for variant parts -->
<Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.BooleanBranch">
<Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.EqualsTest">
<Attr id="genericType"/>
<Arg>variant</Arg>
</Value>
<Arg>V</Arg>
<Arg></Arg>
</Value>
<!-- the sequence -->
<!-- OLD-ENTRY<Arg>{GEN:wt.enterprise.SequenceGenerator:WTPARTID_seq:10:0}</Arg>-->
<Attr id="name"/>
</AttrValue>
Any suggestions?

Creo Publishing Issue
Hi all,
I import creo files in windchill thru creo.
After the Import and checkin the publishing/thumbnail is not working. What I need to do is to checkout the file and custom checkin and choose models and viewable so that the publishing/thumbnail worked.
The problem is the revision add even I didn’t change/modify anything just the custom checkin. Is there a way to import creo files in windchill and the publishing/thumbnail worked?
Thanks!

Validation of a PDMLink installation to CFR21 part 11 requirements
Hi there,
Has anyone come accross PTC documents that would help with validating a PDMLink with Creo installation, to show that the system complies with the requirements of the FDA's CFR 21 part 11?
These regulations deal with the security of electronic signatures.
Useful documents would be a User Requirement Specification, Functional Specification, Installation Qualification, Operational Qualification and Performance Qualification.
If there is another company that has created these documents and would be willing to let other's use them that would be interesting too.
Thank you for any help anyone can give.
Best regards,
Paul Goodwin.
