Running batch files for Method Server and Server Manager.

Hi all,

 

In order to add more flexibility to our Windchill system we are planning of starting the SM, MS and Maybe some BMS from batch files that will be mentioned in the site.xconf file.

 

Has anyone did this before in a Windows Server environment? I saw it for Linux but i am not sure of its functionality in Windows.

 

Anyone has any ideas or examples?

 

 

Best regards,

Alex

Legacy Windchill

Hi All,

 

How do we migrate/upgrade data from legacy systems in Windchill ? Can anyone please let me know about it once.

 

Can anyone please answer the below questions

 

1.) Say for suppose if we wish to migrate/upgrade from Windchill Versions which are less than 9.x (say Windchill 8 or 6 or even less than that ) to a Windchill which is 10.x version. How will we be doing that ?

 

2.) And how do people used to migrate or upgrade or do any customizations before Windchill 9.1 ? Like from Windchill 6 to Windchill 8 or from Windchill 8 to Windchill 9. So is it possible ? If yes how was that done ?

 

3.) Is there any documentation or guide for Legacy Windchill Migrations/Upgrade or any other development like customizations to the 10.x version ? If yes please let me know.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Best Regards,

Aditya Achanta

How to remove EPMBuildHistory link

$
0
0

I have a WTPart which I need to delete. This WTPart was used in one (the latest) iteration of an assembly. Before I can delete the WTPart, I need to delete the latest iteration of the WTPart assembly it is used in. However, I can't seem to delete this latest iteration because of anEPMBuildHistorylink on the assembly. Is there a way to remove this link so I can get rid of the assembly iteration, and ultimately delete the WTPart?


Thanks

Coloring of restricted substances over threshold in excel material content report

$

0

Many of our customers want to know why a component is failing for a particular regulation and demand to indicate the failed substance in the material content report. At present it is required to search the MPN individually and click on the fail(X) symbol and the system shows the result.

 

Since this validation functionality and information exists in the system database somewhere it might by an easy development task to include this feature in report.

Differences between all Windchill Versions

Hi All,

 

Windchill 4.0 was first released in November 1999 and from then onwards many versions were released till Windchill 11.0 in 2016

 

What are the major differences between all these versions ?

 

Like from Windchill 4.0 to  9.1 and 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0

 

Can anyone please let me know about it once.

 

Thanks and Regards,

Using Profiles to cleanize the UI

$
0
0

Hi all,

 

We are looking at the "Profiles" functionality as a means to control the UI visibility.

I was reading through the documentation that the context specific "Configure Actions for Roles" will over ride the Org wide profile settings.

The documentation reference is below.

 

 

 

Default Visibility for Application Context Managers

The site and organization administrator can choose to set defaults for and hide control over a specific product, library, project, or other application context action or user interface element. That is, the site and organization administrator can carefully control which elements that application context managers (project, product, and library managers) are able to override in a context instance.

Removing the ability for an application context manager to override a profile setting is done by globally hiding visibility to the Configure Actions for Roles action for a specific context. If this is done, then the visibility of actions and areas of the user interface in a context instance cannot be modified by that application context manager.

 

 

It seems that on already created contexts, applying the profile settings seems to be  a challenge.

 

All I want to know is that a simple way to disable the Context setting for the UI for Roles, so that my profile setting at Org level is activated.

Is there preference or property to achieve this?

 

Any good practices on profiles? Dos and Donts?

 

Best Regards

Hari

query builder report - family tables with instances not at same revision as generic

$
0
0

Recently I had to find all family tables in our system in which any instance did not match the generic.  This .qml does not have a criteria to find this, but finds all needed info and I was able to filter in Excel using text functions.  Provided just in case anyone else can make use of it.

 

The attached file is named for a tech support case.

 

I'd still be interested if anyone can come up with a way to filter for revision of instance not equal to revision of generic.  Didn't work very hard on this - I'm a wizard for these things in Excel.

The PLM area are growing to cover more and more of traditional ERP domains. With IoT and digital twins follows the needs to store the configuration of the physical product over time (As-Build and As-Maintained structure). In Windchill we can manage part configurations and part instances, but there is limitations aw the instance structure can be changed/maintained independently over time. What is PTC´s recommendation to meet  this need? What products or solution is covering the use case?

 

Best regards

Hi All,

 

Did anyone try to export the filters that you can create for a Structure in windchill 10.2?

 

Where are they stored and how can they be exported and imported?

 

As I see Windchill doesn't offer an Export option.

Report Management

Hi All,

 

I need to create a report in Windchill like

 

1. ) User 1 will have some access controls for a particular product. The same user will have different access controls for some other product.

 

2.)  Now we need to create a report stating the same. Like what are the access controls he has for the different products.

 

3.) If we give product 1 and user 1 as input, the output should be displayed with its respective access controls. Similarly for other products also.


How to do this ? Is it with customization or without customization ? Can you please let me know ? If it is with customization can you please share a sample code so that I can implement it ?


Thanks and Regards,

Aditya Achanta

how to add "content" like a pdf to a windchill part

This can't be hard. I expected it to be simple and maybe even easy but so far I'm thwarted in my attempt to simply add a PDF as "content" to a Windchill file.

OK so what's the simple thing that I'm missing??

Business Rules used on Promotion?

$

Please ref this excellent info:

http://support.ptc.com/cs/help/windchill_hc/wc102_hc/index.jspx?id=BusRulesBOMReleaseRuleRef&action=show

 

We currently have only CAD in Windchill, no WTParts.  Using only Promotion Requests, no change objects (yep, super crude compared to what we had at Alcon, but making progress).

 

Question: Can we apply a simple business rule to promotion somehow that checks if all first level child objects are at an appropriate state?  I've never played with Business Rules yet - seems very powerful and worth learning.  Jeff Z, hello if you're listening.

 

Document on this attached for ref.

 

thx in advance
