Publish Rules
Hi all,
I was reading the documentation on Publish Rules in the Visualization services guide.
I have few questions.,
1. Looks like the publish rules are only for EPMDocuments, is this true?
Regarding the trigger for publishing. the documentation says.,
There are five values that will trigger Publish Rules processing:
• <publish on=”checkin”/> — the trigger for Publish Rules evaluation is a
publish job for an EPMDocument resulting from a check-in.
• <publish on=”create-representation”/> — the trigger for Publish Rules
evaluation is a publish job for a Create Representation action (via the New
Representation wizard) executed from an EPMDocument (or its ownerassociated
WTPart) from the Representations/Annotations table.
• <publish on=”schedule”/> — the trigger for Publish Rules evaluation is a
publish job for an EPMDocument resulting from a job submitted using the
WVS Job Scheduler.
• <publish on=”unknown-source”/> — the trigger for Publish Rules
evaluation is a publish job resulting from any other event, such as from a
manual republish, republish on change, workflow initiated (doPublish),
etc.
• <publish on=”manual-post”/> — specifies that a matching EPMDocument
can have manual post-publishing
Is there any trigger for Publish on "PDM Checkout"? Because OOTB ,when the carry forward is turned off, it also disables publishing when "PDMCheckout".
I have a related post here...
Any suggestions on how to handle this requirement? (Customization is the last option for me).
Thanks

Change revision via SQL
Hello,
I am working to fix some data integrity issues we have after migrating from Agile to Windchill.
I need to change the Revisions for some iterations, but I cannot use the ChangeRevisionLabelUtility.
I was able to update on the "WTPart" table the "versionIdA2versionInfo", "versionSortIdA2versionInfo", "iterationIdA2iterationInfo" columns, on the "ControlBranch" table the
"versionId" column.
This works fine, the RevisionLabelCleanser shows no issues, however I have the "Revise" action available only on the version 3X.2 (was D.2 before the SQL change).
This means that something is wrong on my query.
This is what I know so far.
ControlBranch CB, WTPart P, WTPartMaster M:
CB.idA3B5=M.idA2A2
CB.idA3C5='0'
P.idA3masterReference=M.idA2A2
For example, this is what I used to change the version from D.2 to 3X.2:
update ControlBranch set versionId='A', idA3C5='720510629' where idA2A2 in (select CB.idA2A2 from WTPart P, WTPartMaster M, ControlBranch CB where CB.idA3B5=M.idA2A2 and CB.idA3C5='0' and P.idA3masterReference=M.idA2A2 and P.versionIdA2versionInfo='D' and P.iterationIdA2iterationInfo='2' and M.WTPartNumber='SSG95512')
update WTPart set versionIdA2versionInfo='3X', versionSortIdA2versionInfo='0000023', iterationIdA2iterationInfo='2' where idA2A2 in (select P.idA2A2 from WTPart P, WTPartMaster M where P.idA3masterReference=M.idA2A2 and P.versionIdA2versionInfo='D' and P.iterationIdA2iterationInfo='2' and M.WTPartNumber='SSG95512');
What am I missing here?
Thanks
Remove details page tabs for reference document sub type
We have configured a sub type of reference document and would like to remove some of the default tabs for this type. The tabs we want to remove are Details, Structure, Content, Changes, and History. We have done this previously but the tab we removed was applied to all types. In this case, it is only for the sub type. Is it possible to do this?

Access to a report by user
I tried searching but couldn't find what I was looking for. I have written a report and want to only give access to an individual, management, and not an area, ie. Change, Library, Project, etc. Can this be done? And if so, how? Is this something that I would need Cognos for? I'm currently on Windchill 10.2 m030.

Windchill 10.2 M030 PSI aborts during Creating Oracle Configuration with Oracle 12c
Hi,
I'm trying to install Windchill 10.2 M030 using the PSI, configured to created the Database schema in an existing Oracle 12c R2 SE2 database software only installation instance.
I had keyed in correct values of the Oracle 12c Home user password as well during the configuration steps in PSI for installation. But the PSI aborts the Installation pre maturedly during the step of Creating Oracle configurations and the installation fails. The OCU logs that the installation failure message prompting to isn't clear to trouble shoot.
Had some one faced any similar issue? Below is the snapshot of the error screen when the PSI aborts. Attaching the logs pointed in the error screen as well.
Appreciate any help that would assist me overcoming this issue. Thanks in advance!
Error after updating from 10.2 M020 to M030: "Data marked not to be published. No publishing will take place."
Hi!
After updating from Windchill PDMLink 10.2 M020 to 10.2 M030 we have issues concerning the publisher.
The goal is to open Creo View with the default representation of a specific EPMDocument.
This is the direct link we usually used:
This does not work for standard users (non admins) anymore. The HTML output is:
Data marked not to be published
No publishing will take place
If an admin opens the URL, it works and Creo View is being loaded with the correct representation.
After reading in the PTC Windchill Visualization Services Guide, I checked the following Windchill Visualization Service Properties:
webpage.allowpublish.designcontext
webpage.allowpublish.epmdocument
webpage.allowpublish.wtpart
webpage.allowpublish.wtdocument
webpage.allowpublish.wtpartalternaterep
The description says:
Default Value: True
Synopsis: Allows publishing from the user interface by object type.
Description: Provides the ability for a user to publish from the user Interface on a type basis. If set to True, all users can publish the specified type from the user interface; if set to False, no users can publish the type from the user interface. If set to Admin, only administrators (system, project, or product administrators) can publish from the user interface. These Settings affect only the UI, and not the ability to publish via listener (such as checkin) or a schedule job; but being in the prohibition list prohibits such actions.
They are all set to "TRUE" but the behaviour is like they were set to "ADMIN".
Can anyone confirm this behaviour in 10.2 M030 and has a solution?
Or is there any other option I need to check?
Thanks!

Automate Date in Query Builder
I want to automate a report so that when it is run by the user, it will automatically calculate the date to use. Think of Change Notices and the need for a report to generate the results of Resolved CNs based off of the system date minus 30 days or even quarterly. This should be something that one should be able to do in the criteria section. If it can be done I haven't found it yet. The ultimate goal is to be able to set up a data monitor for management that runs on different times to give them different results automatically. Does anyone know how to do this or if it can be done?
Which Browser should I use to run Windchill 10.1
I am currently testing Windchill 10.1 and getting ready for implementation. I wanted to know which browser I should use to work best with Windchill 10.1 and Java.
I use Chrome for everything but I was not sure if IE or Firefox had any advantage with Java running smoother.

How do I upload tables and notes to Windchill for reuse in Creo drawings?
I have uploaded tables (.tbl) and notes (.txt) into Windchill, but when I go insert note or table from file the folder has no visible content. I tried uploading as Document and then Reference document, neither worked. Judging by the format of the content being unknown as reported by the content tab I would say that Windhchill is not recognizing the file types.
Does anybody have a good resource for uploading files into Windchill?
Windchill Relationtionship Report SQL SELECT
I would like to produce a Windchill relationship text-file report for all Pro/E CAD Documents (epmdocument), using an SQL SELECT statement (Oracle).
The output would include the following info:
DOCTYPE, NUMBER, Version, relationship-type, Related-DOCTYPE, Related-NUMBER, Related Version
Example output would be something like this:
ProE Versioned Part,12345.PRT,A.1,Associated Drawing,ProE Versioned Drawing,12345.DRW,B.5
I am slightly familiar with the tables epmdocumentmaster and epmdocument.
But I don't know which table (and fields) contains the relationship (where-used) data.
Any suggestions?

Windchill upgrade log files?
I finally have a commitment from management and our IT-Group to move forward with our Windchill/IntraLink 10.2 and Creo 3.0 upgrade from Intralink 3.4 as soon a June.
I have already done a few test passes up a full migration using a cloned install of our 3.4 Dataserver and as far as I can tell everything migrated 100%. I want to get quotes from a few PTC re-sellers to perform that actually upgrade and migration of the production server. (perhaps during my testing there were a few T’s I forgot to cross and some I’s that should have been dotted?)
So to cut to the chase are there any log files from my testing that I could provide a potential re-seller for them to accurately provide a quote? I don't want $30K quotes based off of more complex upgrades. Our install is not complex, basically OOTB with simple workflows and release process.
Thanks in advance,
Robert
Windchill Migration services?
I’m sure with my last post and this one my phone will soon be ringing off the hook?
I have been tasked again to explore and select a re-seller to perform our migration. (I did this last August but was asked to do it again by management)
I could ask the re-seller to provide references but who is going to provide less than a glowing reference?
Are you able to provide me with recommendations of what re-seller you recommend to perform Intralink 3.4 to Windchill/Intralink migration services?
The companies that I have gotten quotes from in the past are:
Sconce
ProductSpace Solutions
Tristar
Barry-Wehmiller
If you would prefer to respond directly instead of the forum? I can be contacted at Robert.Altman at Arthrex.com
Thanks in advance,
