Dear all,

Pro/E & Creo user since 1997, Windchill since 2008, in various roles such as simple user, office trainer as well as configuration management for both software. Well, now I have an issue I have never seen before. One cannot know all   Hoping someone can help me with this. I tried to search for a similar issue but could not find any.

The issue is the following: I cannot download MCAD data from PDM into my workspace, independently if the data or workspace is old or new.

I'm using WF5 M100 with PDM Link 10.1 M020. Let's start from scratch so you can easily understand:

- First of all, I delete my cache, removing the full content of the ROOT folder.

- Check my Windchill settings, in the Preference Manager I enabled my Workspace.

- Start Pro/E, standard set-up without any weird config.sup or *.pro settings

- Link to my Windchill server (through Pro/E embedded browser)

- I create a new workspace, no matter if linked to PRODUCT or LIBRARY

- I check my role, I'm a MEMBER so at least in my PRODUCT I have read & write access.

- I now create a new Pro/E MCAD file (called TEST0123), followed by "save & upload" it into the workspace.

- I unlink Pro/E from the server and close down the software.

- Start Pro/E again, link to the server & workspace. In my workspace I can see the previously created file.

- Open my just created MCAD file TEST0123.

- And here we go, I'm unable to open my file!!

The message bar in Pro/E tells me this:

'TEST0123' cannot be retrieved

The Pro/E embedded workspace (local workspace) tells me this!

As you can see there is a warning icon next to the MCAD number.

Anyone able to help me with this issue? Thanks in advance!

Dear All,

We are looking to automatically transfer data captured by barcode scanners into Windchill PDMLink.  Some of the scanners we use are Koamtac and Cognex, and we scan UID labels (similar to RFID labels) on our parts.  Just wondering if this is possible, and how to do it.  Would appreciate any input you can provide on this topic.

Thanks you in advance.

Hello Folks!

Does anyone happen to know how to install a CPS onto an already installed Windchill 10.2 system hosted in a Linix vmware.

Steps I have done so far is to get all installation media onto my /tmp folder according to below:

[pdmadmin@wc102-m020 MED-61006-CD-102_M020_M020-CPS06-Bundle]$ ls -ltr

total 28

-rwxr-xr-x 1 pdmadmin pdmadm   43 Nov 20 12:24 setup.sh

-rwxr-xr-x 1 pdmadmin pdmadm   33 Nov 20 12:24 setup.bat

drwxr-xr-x 5 pdmadmin pdmadm 4096 Jan 29 15:50 PTC_Solution_Installer_10.2

drwxr-xr-x 3 pdmadmin pdmadm 4096 Jan 29 15:59 PTC_Windchill_10.2_Index_Search

drwxr-xr-x 4 pdmadmin pdmadm 4096 Jan 29 16:02 PTC_Windchill_10.2_Service_Pack

drwxr-xr-x 7 pdmadmin pdmadm 4096 Jan 29 16:03 PTC_Windchill_10.2_Third_Party_Software

drwxr-xr-x 8 pdmadmin pdmadm 4096 Jan 29 16:10 PTC_Windchill_10.2_Workgroup_Managers

Fist step was to chmod all files and folder recursively using chmod -R 755 *

However when running setup.sh the installer does not recognize that I have already installed Windchill.

I believe this is the key to make the installer aware of my existing solution so it can light up "Update Existing Solution".

Now I can only select "Solution" under "Install Type Options".

Anyone happens to know how to accomplish this?

I have also tried to launch "setup" under "PTC_Windchill_10.2_Service_Pack" but that script only produces:

ERROR: Cannot locate installer_jres directory in CD root: /tmp/MED-61006-CD-102_M020_M020-CPS06-Bundle/PTC_Windchill_10.2_Service_Pack

Any help is greatly appreciated!

hello,everyone:

     Has anyone can tell me  how to remove all  disconnected principal .  Our windchill 9.0 M050 is integrated with AD ,AD authenticate the users who log in Windchill. AD administrator deletes some users in AD,so  there are some disconnected principal in Windchill.

    I  log in as wcadmin(site administrator) and enter into site-utility-principal administrator-maintainance page,when I check the disconneted principal and click the "delete" button ,it shows"LDAP erorr code 32 No Such Object"

     Firstly，I am very sure that these users  are not in our AD.

  (1)  I view the WTUSER table :select t.name,t.ida2a2  from wtuser t where t.repairNeeded=1  and there are disconnected user who are shown in the above web page returned,I also check the remoteobjinfo,remoteobjid table   there are disconnected user who are shown in the above web page returned

  (2) I check the Aphelion brower  the disconnected user  entries  are also in there

  so  I cannot  delete the disconneted users in the Windchill web page  and   I  dare not  delete the  user entries in the WTUSER table directly.  Now  what can

I do to  delete the disconneted users.

   Thanks for your reply.

I have been working through the Change Request workflow developed when Windchill was implemented in 2008 by another admin. He had the ability to create a Change Notice turned off, even though he had a node in the Change Request workflow to require them. I got the Profile modified to allow Change Notices to be created, and the option now shows up in Actions. However, when I select Create Change Notice, the screen opens and a message pops up saying "You do not have create permissions for the object". I looked in preferences and found nothig. What setting do I need to toggle to get the required permissions?

I am trying to create a Windchill Publish Rule that will publish a Creo drawing as a PDF file within a WTDocument. The problem is that our default viewables in windchill are HPGL, our CAD worker recipe is to to HPGL and we do not want to change this. So I am finding that even though my publisher rule states output="pdf" I am still getting a .plt file. Here is my rule:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<rules evaluate-rules-on-republish="true" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.ptc.com PublishRulesSchema.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.ptc.com">

     <authoring-application name="PROE">

      <param-set name="Share with WTDocument">

         <post-publish name="delegate">com.ptc.wvs.server.publish.DefaultPostPublishDelegate</post-publish>

         <post-publish name="name">{AUTHORING_APP}-{EPM_NUMBER}</post-publish>

         <post-publish name="published-content-link">create</post-publish>

                     <post-publish name="folder">Drawings</post-publish>

      </param-set>

        <publish on="checkin" output="pdf" param-set="Share with WTDocument"/>

      <publish on="create-representation" output="pdf" param-set="Share with WTDocument"/>

      <publish on="schedule" output="pdf" param-set="Share with WTDocument"/>

            <publish on="manual-post" output="pdf" param-set="Share with WTDocument"/>

            </authoring-application>

  </rules>

I have been able to get a pdf file using additional-files in the rule, but in this case, my WTDocument has a zip file document containing a .plt file and a .pdf file. Again, this is not my desired result, I just want a pdf file on the WTDocument.

Thanks in advance.

We notice the infrastructure changes in  the database schema starting Windchill 10.2 and it would be helpful if someone could suggest the new tables and joins so we get our query right.

Here is a working query from Windchill 9.1 system (PDMLink, PartsLink, SUMA and Oracle DB)

SELECT

   M1.WTPARTNUMBER,

   D1.VERSIONIDA2VERSIONINFO,

   D1.ITERATIONIDA2ITERATIONINFO,

   CN.NAME

FROM

   REFERENCEDEFINITION R,

   REFERENCEVALUE RV,

   MANUFACTURERPARTMASTER M1,

   MANUFACTURERPART D1,

   CLASSIFICATIONNODE CN

WHERE

   R.DISPLAYNAME = 'Part' AND

   R.IDA2A2 = RV.IDA3A5 AND

   RV.CLASSNAMEKEYA4 = 'com.ptc.windchill.suma.part.ManufacturerPart' AND

   RV.IDA3A4 = D1.IDA2A2 AND

Hi all,

I'm creating a 3d drawing in creo and my workspace is in windchill. I save a sketch in my workspace and when I want to used the sketch that I saved to a new 3d model, it doesn't appear in my palette.

Please see the screenshot below.

This is my workspace.

This is the sketch that i want to open in my palette

This is what appear when I used the palette in a new drawing.

Thanks,

One requirement we have is for a document that is part of a workflow to be automatically added to a preexisting Managed Collection.  Is there a way to automatically do this?  The managed collection would be the same name as the document...for instance:

WTDoc is named rwy-00888, it would need to be added to the Managed Collection of the same name.

Thanks in advance,

Can anyone share the code to load EPMFamily table

Hi

As we are aware that the download option for EPMDocuments has been removed by PTC. I got help from the posts in the community, i tried to execute the utility given in the thread (http://communities.ptc.com/thread/53101) . But seems it not working properly as expected. In my case it's more simpler as I need to download all the EPMDocument. When I execute this utility from the shell it downloads the EPMDocument, i.e. ".asm" file into ".ol" format and ".prt" file into ".log" file to my local drive. Whereas I don't want the file format to get changed once it gets downloaded on my local drive.

I received suggestions in the thread for downloading EPMDocument from the standalone windchill.But my requirement is to download it from the server side/vaults.

Can some one please help or suggest me to download it form the Windchill server/vaults.

Thanks.

I trying to discover what ways I can dynamically build a URL path to an object in the windchill database. We have external applications that I would like to be able to display the generated thumbnail representation that is stored in Windchill.

Doing some research, it appears the table FVITEM stores

• the filename on the disk in the vault
• vault folder name

It appears the table APPLICATIONDATA stores

• Role (thumbnail and thumbnail3d, etc)
• format (1031 which seems to mean JPG.  I'm not sure what format 1046 or 1061 mean.  I have not been able to find a list either)

It appears the table EPMDOCUMENT stores

• the name and number

I'm not sure how to relate (join) them all together yet.  It looks like the pieces to be able to find the physical file, where it is stored is available so I could build a link to allow a user to view a thumbnail of the CAD Document.

My quesitons are:

• Has any one else done something like this where you provided a link to the windchill data without forcing a user to use Windchill UI?
• Are there better approaches than directly selecting information from the Oracle tables?
• Any suggestions or links to documentation and examples would all be useful.

Thanks

Hi to all!

How can I set the text color inside the dataUtility?
