Apache SendBufferSize setting hurts file transfer performance
I am wondering if anyone else sees the same behavior that I have. A company has multiple sites around the world, but the connection where it was most obvious was a WAN connection between the US and Malaysia. There is a 30Mb pipe and a 250ms ping time. However, Windchill file transfers would never go faster than 127kB/sec. It was especially painful because the congestion on the network line would often not exceed 30%, yet Windchill was just using a small portion of what was available.
Using Wireshark for network troubleshooting it became obvious that the throughput was quite constrained. The network adapter would put two 16kB packages on the WAN, then wait 250ms for an ACK before sending additional data. At no point did it try to put out additional packets, even though the negotiated window was 130kB.
If you look in <Windchill>\HTTPServer\conf\extra\additions.conf you will find these lines:
# At least on Windows with high bandwidth, high-latency connections this
# setting speeds downloads. It should not hurt in other cases.
#
# [Note that stock Apache 2 does not support this option on Windows at the
# time of this writing. Support for this has been patched into this Apache
# binary.]
#
SendBufferSize 16384
The result of this line is that Apache will send two 16kB chunks of data, then do nothing until it received an acknowledgement. It would send out this size of data regardless of whether the network thought it wanted less or could take more. In the days when the max window size was 64kB, and often negotiated much smaller, this would result in an improvement in performance. Now many (most?) WAN connections can accommodate much more than 16kB or 32kB of data "in flight", and this can become a performance hindrance.
Commenting out SendBufferSize line, the throughput increased from 127kB/sec to 1.5MB/sec. Essentially, the tcp transfer was able to make use of the majority of the available bandwidth to the remote site. Servers on both sides were Windows 2008 R2, and Apache was configured for HTTPS and file compression. There are Riverbed Steelhead devices in the path, but the Windchill traffic was bypassed as they were not loaded with the server certs to allow them to accelerate HTTPS traffic.
I believe the setting might have been appropriate in the not so distant past, but you might find that this is now a constraint on your Windchill data throughput.
If you have slow replication performance or slow file transfers to clients you might want to try commenting out this line and restarting Apache.

Custom OIR Rule Algorithm
Has anyone implemented a custom OIR rule algorithm that implements the RuleAlgorithm interface? If so then is it possible to pass a handle to the object being created to the RuleAlgorithm.calculate() method? For example pass a handle to an EPMDocument in the Object[] array?

How often are you applying Windchill 10.2 CPS (Critical Patch Sets) and how long is it taking?
We have multiple 10.2 Windchill environments (development, testing, staging) which are also clustered, some with multiple nodes.
We will compare the files being updated to make sure that we are good on our existing customizations and configurations.
We will also do some level of testing before executing the PSI on production.
1. Back up codebases on all 4 prod nodes
2. Run CPS PSI on cache master node
3. Fix permission on IE tasks (we have non default settings on some which get wiped out when running the PSI)
4. Back up modified cach master codebase
5. Move\rename pre-CPS codebases on MS nodes
6. Restore cache master codebase from step 4 on MS nodes
7. Update new MS node codebases with site.xconf from pre-CPS codebase and propagate properties
8. Fix Creo publishing configuratin on each MS node
9. Fix middleware credentials on each MS node
10. Restart and a quick technical checkout
Just focusing on these 10 steps for production it takes a good 4-5 hours.
Our management is interested in what others are doing in the area of Critical Patch Sets; how often (monthly, quarterly, etc.) and how long (in hours per environment).
Can you guys share how often and how long (please specify monolithic or clustered)?

Winchill timeout in internal browser?
All -
I have a user who reports that after using a Creo (2.0, M110) session for a while (the amount of time varies), his internal Windchill session (mozilla-based browser) will stop working, and the browser window goes blank/white. Is there some weird config setting for Windchill timeout that he may need or that he has and needs to get rid of? Or does this sound like a machine/network problem (in which case, this is getting chucked over to I.T.....)
Thanks in advance -

JSP Page to Set State
I am working on an administrative JSP page that would allow me to Set-State on wtdocuments and/or epmdocuments. I am using the Search-Objects webject to search for and get the information about the documents but, I cannot find a webect that allows me to set-state. Would anyone know how this could be accomplished in a JSP page? Is this something I would need to create a java class to handle? I have limited exposure to java so I would like to stick with the JSP if possible. Here is the search page I have currently. I would like to have the button that is clicked submit the request to the server for the state change.

I know how to create links to other websites, but would like to create one to related shared network folders. When I try to it always inserts the prefix http.. in front of the network location, so it doesn't work. In addition, users have permission to create or delete link objects, but users cannot edit them!

Summary Activity not completed
We created a project in Auto execution mode. Then we import a project plan(.mpp) file in it. It has few Phases (summary activities). All activities of a phase are completed (100% work complete and has 'Tick Mark' symbol) but for summary activity it still shows status as "unavailable"('Question Mark' symbol) and state as "In Process".
If project is created in manual mode then summary activity shows status as completed.

WTpart subtype assigning while check in
How do I assign the sub Type of the WTPart that the EPMDocument will create and associate during Checkin? One way is to use a subtype of the epmdocument itself and assign "Default part type to Create", but I dont want to take this option. Kindly pour in your thoughts.
Iam using Windchill 10.2 with Creo 2.0.
For some assemblies , when checked in, i want to create Part subtype A, while for some other assemblies I want to create Part type B.
There is a clear rule for this on what conditions Part Subtype A or B should be created, but there seems to be no direct way to specify (as an attribute ).
Are there any preferences?
Thanks & Regards
