We're starting to use the Windows explorer integration of DTI and several users find this much more user friendly than the web interface. However, we'd like to know if it's possible to configure DTI to show only the latest versions in Explorer as opposed to the default behavior which is to show all versions.
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
Recently I was tasked with being the admin for the Oracle database we run along side our windchill 10.1 solution. It was recently discussed that we may need to migrate the database from enterprise to standard. From what I have found so far we will need to export our data, install a new standard database, then import the data into the new database. It isn't certain if we are going to go this route but to help decide we need to know what the procedure would be to connect our windchill system to a new database. I haven't had any luck finding documentation regarding this. I am hoping someone in the community could help point me in the correct direction.
Thanks in advance!

Creo 2
PDMLink 10.1 M050
I have users that sometimes have both Creo open logged into PDMLink and a separate IE browser logged into PDMLink.
If they use the "Open in Creo" in Creo to open another CAD file it will use the existing session. However, if they do the same thing through IE it will open a 2nd Creo session.
Is there a way to stop that? I don't want to disassociate the .pha file as a solution because I assume it would remove it from being usable through Creo. I want to know how to make the "Open in Creo" check if Creo is already running and then use that session.
At my last company I setup what was called a partial AD connection. Where I just authenticated agents AD. I don't remember setting up a InfoEngine to use this. I am drawing a complete blank on how I did it and it is not in my notes. Any input and help would be great. I have read all the current information on the Help and community and still cannot figure it out.
I want to run multiple WinDU session on my Windchill server. This is because I feel it saves time. Is there any impact on the output when we run multiple WinDU session simultaneously on a single Method Server?
Hi, We have Windchill-SAP Integration. We created parts using import from spreadsheet in Windchill. We have created a Utility such that it would give a list of all parts which are in "PREPRODUCTION" state, but upon running that utility, the parts created using "Import from Spreadsheet" were not displayed in the list while other were.
We also have another utility we gives us the list of all parts that created after a certain date and are in a certain life cycle state, but similarly upon running that utility, the parts created using "Import from Spreadsheet" were not displayed in the list while other were.
How to resolve this problem?
All,
Despite many recommendations against it I decided to give it a try on the Windchill Desktop Integration (I'm running Windchill 10.1 M040, Office 2007 and IE 10). The installation went smoothly and I did follow the instructions from previous posts regarding preferences. The integration is working fine so far, but after the installation I noticed a curious "side effect": after using the DTI to open and edit a document from Windchill, my browser seems to go crazy as far as pop-up dialog boxes... For example: typically if you want to create a CN from an existing object, a separate window will pop up for you to fill out and submit the CN. After using DTI, a new window does pop up but it's empty, and the actual CN shows up as a new tab instead. This will happen for any command that would normally generate a new window, and the problem only goes away if I reboot my machine. I tried to clear the browser cache and temporary files but the issue didn't go away without rebooting it. If I don't use the DTI this behavior doesn't happen.
Has anybody seen this behavior? Any clues on how to get rid of it?

How much detailed testing, if any, do you do after installing a CPS? We will test in a Test environment, but don't know how many resources to devote to this. Based on recent experience with some customizations not working when a CPS was installed we are concerned that the amount of time needed to test all major functions we use may make it not worth the time to install every monthly CPS. Do you install each one? Thanks for your guidance!
On my test system, I am experimenting with Lifecycles, OIRs, ACLs, Roles, Types for WTDocuments and EPMDocuments. I evidently didn't do something right, and now when I try to run a Promotion Request Review to the Released State for an EPMDOC, the process doesn't complete and sometimes I get a “Error: Stalled (Failed queue entry)” error.
Any suggestions on what I should do to fix? I am afraid I made enough changes that I am having trouble narrowing it down.

Is there any possibility of identifying parts that are using one particular UDF instance in PDMlink
Thanks in advance for your expertise,

Can we link a task in ProjectLink today with a workflow step? For example, I can have a workflow with a series of steps and each step can be mapped to a task in ProjectLink(Gantt Chart). Now, upon completion of a workflow step, the Gantt chart (task) can be updated as "Complete".
So, project management is automatic and no need for the project manager to go around to find out what tasks are complete to update ProjectLink (Gantt chart)? It is updated real-time!
Hi All,
I want to install Solr index search on existing Windchill (PDMLink 10.1 M050).
Going to do it for first time, Any detailed procedure and suggestions would be great.
Thanks in advance.

I want to create an attribute having a functionality to search and add PLM users, similarly to search and add related parts. Please let me know.
At my last company I setup what was called a partial AD connection. Where I just authenticated agents AD. I don't remember setting up a InfoEngine to use this. I am drawing a complete blank on how I did it and it is not in my notes. Any input and help would be great. I have read all the current information on the Help and community and still cannot figure it out.
We currently have a datautility that provides a SuggestTextBox for an attribute. This provides a type ahead dropdown of allowable values for the field and cuts down on misspellings and acronymns. The request has been made to remove the "Single-Value" constraint on this attribute to allow multiple values. The datautility as it is written assumes that there is one and only one value. I'm looking for an example of how it would change if a additional attribute values are added on the creation and edit pages. It seems like there must be a way to name the fields so Windchill will accept the multiple values. Also our code appears to stop the + button from appearing.
Here is the existing code:
SuggestTextBox plantSuggestBox = new SuggestTextBox("Plant", "Plant_autosuggest");
plantSuggestBox.setRenderer(new SuggestTextBoxRenderer());
plantSuggestBox.setColumnName(getColumnName(arg0, arg1, modelContext));
plantSuggestBox.setMinChars(1);
plantSuggestBox.setMaxResults(50);
plantSuggestBox.setEditable(true);
plantSuggestBox.setId(arg0);
plantSuggestBox.setWidth(60);
plantSuggestBox.setRequired(true);
if(modelContext.getDescriptorMode().equals(ComponentMode.EDIT)){
try {
plantSuggestBox.setValue(getIBAAttrValue((IBAHolder)containerObject4, plantIbaName));
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
guiComponentArray.addGUIComponent(plantSuggestBox);
component = guiComponentArray;
return component;
I have a requirement to implement the suggestion text box on an attribute/IBA during Create wizard which would query all my suppliers from DB. I am able to make it work but I am not able to persist the value after selecting from suggestion list.
Any thoughts/samples ?
The scenario: In SharePoint, a person can vault two excel files with one containing a reference data link (such as a vlookup to a table) to a table of data contained in the second document. With the way SharePoint functions and references files, the vlookup function will operate correctly with both files stored in SharePoint. (A direct link is available to the latest revision of the document.)
We are exploring if we can have the same capability, but with both documents vaulted in Windchill. Essentially, the first document would then reference the data in the second document which is stored in Windchill.
Does anybody know if Windchill also has this capability? As far as I understand how things work it does not... but there is always a chance.
Hi all,
As per the documentation, it states that..
We have turned this OFF, (Set as False) for some reason.
This functionality controls the copying forward of Representations to new
iterations of Representables (for example, Windchill Parts, Documents, Dynamic
Documents, and Windchill Document objects). The fundamental principle is that
Copy Forward applies only to out-of-the-box, non-derived Representations.
However, in the case of a Copy or Revise of a Representable, all Representations
(derived and non-derived) will be copied forward out-of-the-box. This behavior
also applies to Representables being checked out to a new context.
Our Requirement:
The representations should be carried forward when performing PDM Checkout to Project and Send to PDM from the Project.
The representations should not get carried forward when performing a Revise in PDM contexts.
Since we have turned the carry forward OFF, we could not achieve our need, because it appears that for Revise , the Carry forward is HARD SET. Hence we switched off the carry forward, but we lost this functionality for PDM check out / Send to PDM.
It does not make any sense to carry forward the Rep on a Revise...because obviously, the content (and hence the representation) will be modified on a Revise (Popular scenario).
I don't understand why PTC has made this behavior..
Any thoughts on how to address our requirement (without any customization).
Best Regards
Hari
