Linking Windchill information from EPM-tables and WTPart-tables

$

0

Hi Guys,

 

currently I´m trying to understand the database schema behind Windchill PDMLink.

My aim is to get all parts of an assembly, with all the attached information.

 

Now I have looked over some tables and foudn the links beetween them. But now I´m stuck!

How can I link the information from the EPMDocument (EPMDocumentMaster, ...)  with the WTPart (WTPartMaster, ...) tables?

WTPartMasterKey and EPMDocumentMasterKey both have the field WTKey, but the have different contents.

 

I´m using Windchill PDMLink 9.1.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hey there...

 

I have done a quick search and could not find a definitive answer.   Can you create a VM for the CAD Worker?   Or does it require a physical machine with graphics card?

authorization for creating a promotion request ???

Hi everybody,

 

I do not succeed in creating a promotion request. New promotion request windows does open, but a pop-up 'you don't have autorization...' opens simultaneously...

 

Can someone provide a summary of required permissions / role / template to define?

 

By the way, I'm running Windchill Essential.  I hope this causes no limitation regarding promotion request's ???

 

Many thanks in advance.

Ok, this crap is driving me freakin crazy!

 

I have users both in the US and in India that are receiving this error when trying to check in objects into the system. So of course having no clue as to what this meant other than it has the word java in it, I proceeded to let tech support try to help. They came back to me with the following change that they say needed to be made in Oracle:

I had IT execute this in the system and it completed successfully, but yet the problem still remains....

Log4j Log File Viewer

$

Hi there

What kind of log viewer do you use for programming and monitoring (without System Monitor) Windchill? I'm using LogExpert and I'm happy with it but I'm pretty sure, there are some better ones around.

One more question is, how do you open the methodserver logs? Because they contain the PID number after every Windchill restart, the log name changes. I know, that you can rename the log-files, but if you have multiple method servers, it's not recommended to redirect everything into one file.

 

Thanks for any tips

PTC_WM_CREATED_BY and PTC_WM_MODIFIED_BY in WC 10.2

$
0
0

For those that are using PTC_WM_CREATED or PTC_WM_MODIFIED on their drawings, this came through from PTC today:

 

https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?source=subscription&n=CS146447

 

  • Since Windchill 10.2 the value of PTC_WM_CREATED_BY and PTC_WM_MODIFIED_BY contains a bracket with the information “(<username>:<organization name>)"



  • The preference User unique identifier display format  controls the format string with the following options:

    1. User name and organisation

    2. Email

 

This means that starting in 10.2, if you use these system parameters on your drawings, the drawing will now display either just the email address of the user or the organization appended to the username.  Nice.  I wonder how many title blocks will have to be redesigned...  Too bad they can't just add an option for "User Name" to at least maintain previous functionality.

How to Interrogate Log Files

$
0
0

I am looking for advice from the Windchill expert community on how you interrogate log files. For instance, I would like to take a log file, search for the string 'error ' in the content, and then eliminate lines which contain a pattern for unimportant strings. This should parse the log so that it only contains the lines of information which may contain notable errors. I currently only have Windows 7 text editors in my toolbox.

 

I am looking for the following type of advice.

 

1 - What is your method for interrogating logs to find relevant 'errors'?

2 - Is it possible to create macros in Microsoft word to filter out unimportant lines?

3 - Are there other text editors I should be considering which might make the task of interrogating logs easier (preferably free)?

 

Thanks!

Hi.

I defined afterVK validator for my wizard step (extends DefaultUIComponentValidator).

I have 2 questions i cann't find answers for in customization guide.

 

1) Validator works in both ways (Back and Next). I need it to work only when moving forward. How to disable it for "Back" button?

 

2) If i have an error while validation process, i show it at pop-up window by specifying UIValidationFeedbackMsg for UIValidationResult. How should i define UIValidationResult to disable pop-up if a i have no error. I have no error - i don't want show anything for user. But now pop-up window with NULL message arises.

 

Thanks.

What character sets are supported by Windchill?

$
0
0

At my company, we upload bills of materials via Excel spreadsheets. However, we had an issue with a customer recently uploading a BOM that caused the created part list to display "Loading Failed" instead of showing the parts (when running in Internet Explorer with Browser mode set to IE9 compatibility). The problem coudl be fixed by pressing F12 and changing the Browser Mode to IE8 OR by switching to Chrome. However, these methods are not officially supported by my company.

 

We eventually determined that the cause of the problem was that the part number column in the Excel spreadsheet contained Part numbers with trailing non-breaking space characters. The Java method that extracted the data from the spreadsheet calls String.trim, but it can't remove this non-standard character. As a result, the part made it all the way into the system where it caused the problem.

 

I want to modify the code we have to extract the data from the BOM import to remove these "poisonous" characters. However, I need to know what characters Windchill CAN handle.

 

You can actually recreate this issue by manually entering the part with a non-breaking space at the end of the part name. If you are in IE9 with the Browser Mode setting to IE9 compatibility, it will cause the problem.
