Consolidating Contexts - CN workflows

$
0
0

Hi All,

 

WC 10.2 M030 CSP 06

 

We are consolidating many contexts down to a few.

I think the straight forward way is to Move the Folder/Files, PR's, CR, CN's.

Anyone have an experience doing this?

I'm mostly concerned how active workflows for CN's will transfer to the new context. Does this occur without issue?

SEARCH OPTIONS - WINDCHILL

Is there any way to search for promotion requests? They will not pull up via a keyword search.

We have things broken into projects, so each folder has its own set of Promo Requests.

I would like to be able to search to make sure none slipped through the cracks without being approved.

 

This is how we manage PDM related ECOs for a particular company, so theoretcally, I'd like to be able to search for *ecoxxxxxx* and have it pull up.

 

any suggestions?

Secret/Secure projects

$
0
0

Hi all,

 

I'm looking for some advice on strategies for handling design work in our company that needs to be kept secure/secret from all users except those specified as having permission to access it. Additionally, those people who are given access should only have access for as long as they need it to do their work and then their access should be disabled.

 

I've done some looking into possible solutions like security labels, projects (project link), and using products with "private access". Can anyone in the group chime in on what they've done? What solutions have you implemented and what long term ramifications do I need to be aware of?

 

FYI we are a contract house building automation solutions so we produce large numbers of new designs to release on a yearly basis. Probably on the order of 400+ newly released assemblies each year with an average of 200 unique constituent parts/subassemblies. Rarely do any of these objects get revised once they reach the final released state. I point this out because managing each design in a separate product context may be a challenge. We currently manage all designs in a single context with sub-folders for each machine we're designing. This may play an important roll in a good strategy to handle Secret/Secure projects.

 

Any input you all can offer will be much appreciated.

Modifying the Change Request email text

$
0
0

One of our options we have put in the CR form is multiple entry field for which group within the company will be impacted by the change.

The first option we are thinking of is to have the email only be sent to those members of the impacted teams. There could be anywhere from 1 to 10 teams and each team may have multiple members.

The second option would be for the email notification text to just include the name(s) of the teams that have been selected. Currently the email goes to all members of the IPT groups and then some call and ask why they received an email for that task. If we had the impacted areas listed on the email form, that would tell some people they can ignore it.

 

I know part of the email that is sent is dynamically created because we recently added a new CR method (Trivial) and it shows up in the list of options displayed in the email for actions. If someone knows where and the name of the file that is stored that is used for the email that would help in starting on the second option. Thinking some more, is the email text generated from the information in the Workflow itself under instructions?

Change Request issues

$
0
0

I have extended the database and added some new attributes to the CR form. These are entered as radio buttons with Yes/No choices and one with a selection list of 8 items. When I go to create a new CR, these new attributes have 3 choices: Undefined, Yes and No with Undefined the default on a couple of them.

 

Where does the Undefined choice come from?

How do I make Undefined the default for all of my radio button items?

 

Related to this is the issue that the creator of the CR does not know the answer to all of these choices. We have added additional signoffs to the workflow that must be completed before it is approved for the Change Notice kickoff. Some of the users have Edit on the actions of the CR and some do not. They all need Edit to enable the Radio button choice and add comments to that section of the CR in a text box. I have checked that all users have identical LDAP setups. I am using Org Level Groups that I created for the Participants in the workflow. My workflow is at the Org Level as it is common between Product and Documents.

 

Any suggestions on where to look to resolve these issues would be appreciated.

Drawings as PDF - Quick way to download them?

$

I have my drawings being published as a PDF by my Pro/e CAD worker.  This is fine but in the end my users really need to be able to quickly download or email the PDF.  Currently the only way to get the PDF out is to do the following:
1- Go to Drawing Details Page
2- Select "Display Representations List"
3- Click Actions>Save Representation
4- Save Representation out as .zip file to desktop
5- Extract PDF from .zip file and email etc

WAY to much work...does anyone know of a more efficient way to do this?

deleting files in WindChill - impossible?

$
0
0

We have a tremendous number of files that are obsolete or otherwise useless to us, and there doesn't seem to be any way to delete them in WindChill. We get all sorts of error messages, most of them stating that some sort of relationship exists. We know those relationships have been broken (family tables) yet we cannot delete anything. Most recently we got the following message:

 

wt.vc.VersionControlException cannot be cast to wt.epm.confilict.EPMNonOverrideableConflictException

 

This message makes absolutely no sense to anybody here and is obviously code for some sort of error that we cannot figure out. Is there ANYBODY out there who knows how to delete useless files?

Adding attributes (fields) to Windchill

Hi everybody,

 

in the PTC Windchill customization guide (chapter 8) is a tutorial for adding attributes to a type.

I have a request to add two more informations to a WTPart. They are needed for a interface to a erp-system. My plan is to use the "Typ- und Attributverwaltung" (type- and attributeadministration) to add two more attributes to the type WTPart.

 

In fact I have no experience with customizing windchill and I have no test system. So I would appreciate your advice for my approach.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Best regards

Masking not required fields in Windchill

$

Hi everybody,

 

we want to change the look of our Windchill PDMLink (10.2).

I think we could do this with the "Typ- und Attributverwaltung" (in englisch "Type- and Attributeadministration" - sorry for the bad translation). Am I right?

When update a WTPart (or insert) we want to mask some (for us not necessary) fields. Unfortunately I can´t find the layout in the "Type- and Attributeadministration".

 

"Gemeinsame Attribute bearbeiten" (translation something like "Edit common attributes"). In this window we want to mask "Standardmäßiger Trace-Code" (sorry no translation for that ), "Erzeugnis" ("product"), "Sammelteil" ("collection part").

 

Am I on the right path?

 

Best regards

 

Benjamin

Replaced Drawing

I want to indicate that the drawing number 00001 was replaced by drawing number 00002.

When someone search the drawing number 00001 something like a watermark indicate the current or correct drawing is the number 00002.

 

I'm talking about EPM document, not WTPart

WTPart association in PDMLink wants to associate back to ProjectLink?

$

Anyone run across this before?

 

  • We created a part model and drawing in a project.
  • Sent both objects to PDM
  • Want to create a WTPart and associate it to the drawing and model.
  • Get an association back to the ProjectLink version of the model.  (See screenshot.)

20160222-122302.png

 

I know that the ProjectLink object is coming from the drawing.  I can associate the WTPart to the PDMLink model correctly.

 

Any thoughts?

How to create soft attribute with user picker?

$

0

Hi,

 

I want do define a soft attribute "approver" for a certain document and the approver should be a PDMLink user.

When user creates the document, he should be able to select the approver from a list of PDMLink users.

 

As far as I understand, I need to write some code for a so called user picker and compile it.

There is an example for compiling a picker for organizations here.

https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS80307

 

However, I am not very familiar with customization and searching for someone who can explain, what to do.

I would like to know the following:

* Sample code with simplest callback function
(I attach a sample code from PTC Technical Support, but I guess this is too generic and does not work)

* How to compile

* How to register in Windchill if this is different as described in the article above

 

Sorry, but I am a beginner in this.

I would appreciate any help.

Work instruction with Operated On parts to be displayed

$
0
0

Hi,

 

Customer Business case Scenario is like this :

 

1.      Customer wants to Create a Process Plan for a Single part

 

•        Where Sheet is having art number say 49-001

•        When Cut operation is done on 49-001 in assembly line its output has new part number 50-001

•        When Bend operation on 50-001 in shop floor its output has new part number 51-001

•        When Paint operation is done on 51-001 in shop floor its output is new part number 56-001

 

Hence in the above scenario, Parts are not a Assembly BOM where you can allocate assembly to Process plan and use BOM Part allocation for this business case.

 

In order to achieve this you need to use “Operated on parts” functionality and hence accordingly you need Work instruction showing the Operated on parts.

 

 

Which is not displayed in Work instruction OOTB in 10.2 M030

 

 

Is there any alternate way you can suggest for this?

 

Thanks,

Rahul

Windchill Attributes/Global Attributes Question

So far in my 4 years as admin I have been creating a 1 to 1 relationship between attributes and global attributes.  I just got a request to store, in one document, 40 serial numbers....can I get away with creating a global attribute called serial number and then keep selecting it as I create the separate attributes in the type manager?  What is best practices?
