Model Unit Effectivity

$
0
0

We are looking into implementing the business process of Model Unit Effecitivty and were wondering how many other companies are using Model Unit Effectivity in their business process and how they are accomplishing it ( Do you do MUE in Windchill, ERP tool, etc).

 

Also, what is your definition of MUE - we have a debate within the company on what MUE means.

 

What is the industry standard for MUE?

 

Thoughts?

Report for Workflow

Does anyone have a report that will return all running workflows and who (user) they are assigned to?  Most of our documents are tied to a workflow and some managers want to know who has been assigned what.

 

Thanks,

Creo View messed up with Chrome

$

So Google must have pushed out another update that has broken it working with Windchill.  When we try to view something in Creo View it gives us the Install Creo View Client or Stop Checking for new versions in the Creo View window.  It worked yesterday.  It works in IE.  Nothing has changed server wise as far as which build I am using.  The Chrome version is Version 42.0.2311.90 m.  We are on Windchill 10.2 m020 CPS08 and Creo View 3.0 m020.  Has anyone else had this happen today?  Anyone with a solution?

Hello,

 

I would like to know if there any way to add Soft attribute to the User object Type. I am able to see only alias and calculated attributes currently.

 

I would like to add Global attribute to user type.

 

Please let me know if it is possible.

 

Thanks.

Re-publish ideas needed

$
0
0
There doesn't appear to be an out-of-the-box way to force everything to republish.

Due to changes in our publish rules (additional files) and the creation of a publish filter (for extended positioning assemblies), I need to republish everything.

Unfortunately, manually republishing ignores the new publish filter.  To make it work, all existing representations have to first be deleted, then the objects submitted again for publishing.

Does anyone have an easy way to delete and re-publish the latest iteration of each revision of all cad documents?

If not, what about deleting and re-publishing the latest version only?

Last resort, does anyone have an easy way to simply delete ALL representations system wide?

Thanks!

Tom U.

P.S.  I realize you can develop custom publish schedules, but I don't have any idea how to work with/edit/create this custom Java code.

Java process removed: 1388@MAPLM

I receive three emails every morning at 4:17 AM.  First one states that the method server stopping, message is "JMX connection to method server
'BackgroundMethodServer.1388' failed".  The second one states the "Method server 'BackgroundMethodServer.1388' removed" and third one Servlet Engine Stopped:  Java process removed: 1388@MAPLM.  How do I go about troubleshooting?  This just started about ten days ago when the windchill server was rebooted.

Thanks for any info you can provide!

Are there any best practices on creating links to items within Windchill?

$

I'm interested in linking to files uploaded within Windchill for others to directly access (obtaining a URL to email or embed in a document).   I'm referring to things like secondary content, discussion threads, attachments within discussion comments or in a notebook, representations, etc.  I can create links to the primary content (documents only not CAD) and to the general details page but these others seem to be hard to do.  Any ideas?  I'm using Windchill 10.1...

"Today" Button on the new 10.2 M030 Windchill Calendar

$

Windchill Users,

I wanted to find out what you think of the new Windchill calendar that has been switched over from java applet in pre-10.2 M030 releases.  In particular, with regards to the "Today" button on the calendar.

 

I had a user who navigated to their 10.2 M030 calendar and wanted to delegate their tasks for today.  The user is familiar with other date pickers on websites such as online banking, where pressing the Today button actually selects today.  So the user clicked the button, but nothing happened.  The user had to explicitly press click on today's date in the calendar before they could start the delegation process.

 

It is the opinion of the user that the Today button does nothing, and is worthless.  The user expects today's date to be selected when clicking the button.  In actuality, the button has some value if you're viewing a month other than the current month.  Clicking the button at that point will cause you to jump back to the current month.  ...which then begs the question...  Should the Today button actually be called the Jump to Current Month button since that is the actual function it performs.

 

In the end, it is just user opinion.  I understand.  But I have already raised 3 other critical SPRs for this new calendar, and the counter-intuitive behavior of the Today button just adds to the frustration.  I'm happy this has been migrated off java applet.  But I wish more thought and testing went into this one.

 

What do you all think of the Today button on the calendar?  Am I off my rocker?  Or valid point as far as User Experience is concerned?

How to retrieve an uploaded object that was removed from workspace

$

A user uploaded a large set of files...part, assemblies, and drawings.

 

They did not check in.

 

Over a months time, the objects were removed from the workspace AND their cache was deleted and rebuilt.

 

What happens to the objects uploaded to the server side workspace?

 

Uploading is said to be a form of backup...a safeguard.

 

So, how do we get the objects back?

Why can't I enter the root number in the Create Baseline dialog in TechRevManager?

$

I am trying to revision my manual from Revision 045 to start a new one at Revision 046 and I can't for the life of me remember exactly how I did it the last cycle, nor can I find a complete answer in my documentation or notes. I use Arbortext/TechAuthor to edit and TechRevManager/Windchill to revision control. I could have sworn that the last time I did this, I checked in the entire manual and then opened the TechRevManager webapp and used Create Baseline to close off the revision (set elements to Approved, etc.) and reset the current fileset to be Revision 046 (to be published as once all done). However, when I try to use Create Baseline now (i.e., click on my current manual, select Create Baseline), the Root number and Target path fields in the Create Baseline dialog window do not allow entry and I cannot proceed. The message at the bottom of the dialog says the object of the root number must be an EPMDocument Type (how do I find out this and this wasn't an issue the last time afaik) and the Lifecycle State of Root Number must be RELEASED or APPROVED...but I thought the only place to approve anything was by starting the Create Baseline because I do remember changing the status to Approved last time. So somewhere I'm missing a step or something's changed, but I don't know what. Hoping someone can provide some guidance, as well as for how to close off the manual and start new cycle if it's not as above. If I'm in the wrong forum, apologies and please let me know what the correct URL is for this.

Thank-you.

PTC Windchill Import to Workspace function fails to retrieve all dependencies.

Hello all,

 

I have noticed an issue with the import to workspace function and was curious if anyone else has seen this issue or found a way to resolve it. Basically, when I add an upper level assembly model the collector in the import only collects the necessary part models. I also want it to collect the associated drawings with those files. Has anyone come across this or found a way for the import to grab the linked drawing files without actually going out and selecting those manually?

 

Thank you,

Hi All,

 

I need to create a chart in Cognos which should  represents Month wise and quarter wise Marketing segments from the given dates. Actually, I've produced chart based on day wise through below expression for  date parameter in Cognos report studio.

 

_add_days(2015-09-02,_days_between([wt.inf.library.WTLibrary=Enquiry].[MarketSegment vs DateOf Creation for August Month].[master>thePersistInfo.createStamp],2015-09-02)).

And got chart like below..

 

 

 

But, I  need to display  month wise Marketing segment with corresponding months and quarter wise Marketing segments with three months as a group with string names like quarter1...  When I'm trying to give _add_month expression getting validatin errors.

 

Kindly request to help me to achieve this as this is my high priority task.

 

Thanks in advance
