Hello! I'm having problems trying to install Windchill Workgroup Manager on a win7 64 machine. I tried the Troubleshooting Windchill Workgroup Manager Client Installation too without any luck
I got a error window saying that I'm trying to install on a unsupported OS (?!!) any ideas?
I have a manager that wants to assign the person for the engineer, checker, and industral engineer roles at the time the workflow is initiated. Can this be done with the 'Conditional' robot?
I see on the support portal that they removed this table from the task approval form in 10.x, as explained below.
| Description |
|
|---|---|
| Applies To | Windchill PDMLink 10.0 all datecodes, 10.1 all datecodes |
| Cause | |
| Resolution |

Does anyone have any tips or ideas on adding that table to the task page where it used to be in 9.1?
Windchill 10.1. We are trying to open xml files in a text editor (i.e. TextPad) in order to view as "HEX". We need to look at the source in order to troubleshoot issues (i.e. view junk characters at the top of xml, see attachment). Currently we are saving the files outside of Windchill and then opening them in TextPad as HEX view.
Anyone know if this can be done within Windchill?
We have a problem with users skipping through the "select participant" task in one of our workflows. In other words, they do not select a participant but they do complete the task. When no particpant is chosen, the workflow proceeds but we are unable to locate the next task. There is no indication in the "routing/history" window.
We have been terminating the workflows and re-starting them in order to resolve the issue.
We want to ensure that the task cannot be completed unless there is at least one participant. Is there a way to set these conditions in a specific task?
Thanks
I'm a Mechanical Engineering student from Escola Politécnica da USP in Brazil and I am involved in a research project about Digital Factory (DF) tools used by the automotive sector.
I would like to know of Windchill, about the software Windchill MPM Link.
Wich functionalities of this software are available to:
Knowing the necessary resources.
I'm looking for a way to export all the usernames in the windchill system. Ultimately the goal will probably be to import those names into an excel spreadsheet. Any suggestions?
As a side note, (and please forgive me if I misuse terms here), what possibilities are there to access Windchill using VBA. My impression is that because there is no VBA API, my options for accessing data stored in windchill from Excel are limited.
Thanks,
Dan
I'm in the process of upgrading our Windchill 9.1 customizations to Windchill 10.1 and I've run into something that isn't working. It revolves around Logical Attributes. In our V9.1 customization, we have the following entries in our LogicalAttributes.xml file:
<Class name="WCTYPE|com.MyCompany.MyManaged|com.MyCompany.www.WBS">
<Property>
<LogicalForm>iptName</LogicalForm>
<ExternalForm>MBA|roleAObject@WCTYPE|com.MyCompany.MyConfigurableLink|com.MyCompany.www.IPTLink~MBA|roleBObject^WCTYPE|com.MyCompany.MyManaged|com.MyCompany.www.IPT~MBA|name</ExternalForm>
</Property>
<Property>
<LogicalForm>iptReference</LogicalForm>
<ExternalForm>MBA|roleAObject@WCTYPE|com.MyCompany.MyConfigurableLink|com.MyCompany.www.IPTLink~MBA|roleBObject^WCTYPE|com.MyCompany.MyManaged|com.MyCompany.www.IPT</ExternalForm>
</Property>
</Class>
The idea is to get the "name" or "reference" of the IPT object that is related to my WBS object via the IPTLink. All of these object types are soft types of our modeled types.
This syntax works just fine in V9.1. However, when I try to use it in V10.1, I get the following error:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

I was reading in the documentation that using LogicalAttributes.xml is no longer the preferred way and that I should be defining a "alias" attribute on my WBS type. I tried that, but was not successful with the syntax.
Any suggestions as to what my syntax for the LogicalAttributes.xml file should be in Windchill 10.1? What about the mapping syntax for the "alias" attribute?
Currently no preview picture is created when step files are uploaded as CAD document. Only when uploaded as a standard document.
It´s important that the step file is a CAD document (to link it with WTParts), but it´s also important that there is a preview picture created.
How do you deal with that?
To all you Windchill users:
We are on Windchill 10.0 M030, Creo 1.0 M050.
I recently updated the config file for all users (all are stored locally on each users C drive). The previous config file worked fine for all users.
The new config file is basically the same, with a few new options. For one of our users, after Creo startup, Creo will hang indefinitely (after user is prompted for the Windchill user/pass). This user is running on Windows 7, though the rest of the users also use either Windows 7 or Vista with no issues.
I can circumvent this problem by removing all the following config options that have the file path starting with wtpub://Windchill… :
template_designasm wtpub://Windchill/Libraries/Library/Formats/in_lbs_assembly_solid.asm
template_sheetmetalpart wtpub://Windchill/Libraries/Library/Formats/inlbs_part_sheetmetal.prt
template_solidpart wtpub://Windchill/Libraries/Library/Formats/inlbs_part_solid.prt
pro_format_dir wtpub://Windchill/Libraries/Library/Formats
start_model_dir wtpub://Windchill/Libraries/Library/Formats
pro_palette_dir wtpub://Windchill/Libraries/Library/Symbols
symbol_instance_palette_file wtpub://Windchill/Libraries/Library/Symbols/standard_notes.drw
Note, however, that the old config file also contained most of the above options, yet there was no hang after startup.
I have attached the old and new config files.
Anyone have any ideas?

So there was something about rehosting with Windchill if you have Solr that came across in my PTC Technical Support Subscriptions, that was asking for directions to be added to the Rehost Guide for rehosting with Solr components. https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?source=subscription&n=CS150763
Does anyone know what these steps are that they are talking about? I was about ready to do a rehost and haven't done one since I added Solr.
Thank you,

Hi all,
New here. Just getting up to speed using Windchill, so i'm sure my problem is user error...
Anyway, trying to install Desktop Integration. Downloaded the install file, double clicked on it, and almost immediately get the following error message:
"The processor is not adequate for running Windchill Desktop Integration 10.1 M040."
I've re-downloaded it a couple times and always get the same error.
My workstation is running 64-bit Windows 7 Pro with an Intel Core i7-4800MQ CPU @ 2.70GHz processor and 32.0 GB RAM. I'm not an expert, but this machine shouldn't be limited by the processor, right?
Anyone have any ideas what could be the problem?
Thanks,
David
Hi All,
When creating a change Request, In Select Affected Objects step by default we have suggest text boxes"Add by number" and "Add by Name"..These suggestion boxes are displaying object information " Number, Revision,Name ". We need additional attributes like lifecycle state,modified by 
Any help would be great..
Several Questions here, hopefully I can get someone help.
1. Is projectlink able to setup working day individually for each project?
-> in our company, we work many projects for verious customers around the world, we are looking forward to setting different working day for each project.
2. Is the milestone able to change back to activity for those projects selecting deliverables linked with activities?
3. Improve project plan export/import/exchange between Windchill and MS project.
-> our program manager always challenge using project to plan schedule, they more like using MS project interface to initiate or adjust project plan, we are looking forward to a nice plan exchange between these both of programs (Winidchill & MS project).
Someone has already done Windchill10 integration with Microsoft Active Directory, I did the same procedures used in version Windchill 9.1 and not work. I open case in PTC and has 4 months and nobody has solved the issue.
This issue is not integrate with Microsoft AD.
The build is F000 today I will update for M010 for check is I have a luck thai this working.
I can notimagine thataround the worlddo not have anydeployerthat has made suchintegration.
We are trying to use Windchill 10.1 with Solidworks 2013. We are having some strange issues with losing data in worksspaces. Often, when we start the workgroup manager in the mornings, we don't see any files in our currently active workspace until we activate another and go back to the one we want. Our IT support is not local and keeps telling us that they can't recreate the things we are seeing. Has anyone successfully used Windchill to control their Solidworks files? Has anyone else seen some of the issues I am describing?
Thanks,
Carrie
Hi!
I need to check if the comment field is filled. I have this code, but it can only be used outside the transitions.
wt.fc.collections.WTCollection auditCol = wt.workflow.engine.WfEngineHelper.service.getVotingEvents((wt.workflow.engine.WfProcess)self.getObject(), null, null, null);
java.util.Iterator auditEvents = auditCol.persistableIterator();
comments= "";
while( auditEvents.hasNext()){
wt.workflow.engine.WfVotingEventAudit audit = (wt.workflow.engine.WfVotingEventAudit)auditEvents.next();
comentario = audit.getUserComment();
break;
}
if(comments.length() > 0){
throw new wt.util.WTException(new Throwable(new String("Você selecionou a opção Sem Comentário. O campo COMMENTS deve estar vazio!")));
}
Thanks!
Hi
could any one explain procedure of configuring multi host filevault configuration and what could be ideal scenario where this kind of configiration is useful?
Is there a recommendation as to how often the Windchill and database servers should be restarted?
Should they be restarted monthly? Is there an order as to which server should be restarted first?
I'm having some trouble configuring the windchill desktop integration. For the Server Base URL, I simply copied and pasted the address exactly as it appears in the address bar:
http://wcdevj.mycompany.com/Windchill/app/
However, I get the errors shown below. I found this thread: http://communities.ptc.com/thread/52013, but the accepted answer of "Capitalization matters with windchill" doesn't seem to help.
