Will the below code cause the workflow to get aborted or terminated?

$
0
0

I was trying to have a look at the Routing Expression of a workflow and stumbled upon a Catch(throwable t).An overview study about this sort of catch block is not recommended. Can someone help me understand the instances when this code will not work properly.

 

 

 

 

wt.maturity.PromotionNotice pn = (wt.maturity.PromotionNotice)primaryBusinessObject;

try

{

wt.util.WTProperties props = wt.util.WTProperties.getLocalProperties();

VERBOSE = props.getProperty("wt.maturity.verbose",VERBOSE);

}

catch( Throwable t )

{

 

}

try

{

     wt.maturity.MaturityServerHelper.service.lockTargets( pn );

     result = "Accepted";

 

}

catch( Exception wte )

{

   if ( VERBOSE )

      wte.printStackTrace();

   result = "Rejected";  // send notification to owner

 

}


Can someone explain to me what is PBO?

I am working on workflows and came across PBO - Primary Business Objects and could not get a proper information as to what these are.

 

"A workflow process is typically launched in the context of a primary business

 

object (PBO)" .

I am pretty new to windchill so I will need to understand this at a very basic level

Reference Designator from SolidWorks

$
0
0

The SolidWorks Property "Component Name" will be associated to the Reference Designator field in the WTPart occurence structure. This is in our opinion the wrong field because the Component Name field in SolidWorks must be unique, so therefore it will be extended always with the "Instance-Id", e.g. the WTPart Reference Designator for the shown screenshot is not "Clamp" but "Clamp-1". If you remove and reassemble the component from the assembly then it changes to "Clamp-2"

In SolidWorks there is an extra field "Component Reference" reserved for the Reference Designator. This field should be synchronized with the Reference Designator field in the WTPart occurence structure.

 

The PTC Knowledge Base Article https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS211407&art_lang=en&posno=1&q=CS211407&source=search goes completely in the wrong direction.Screenshot

Distribution Targets

$

0

All,

 

I am trying to find out a way to show only ESI Distribution targets on Part page to users like Designers or specific group.

The easiest way to do this assign group of users to ESI Author. By doing OOTB shows Distribution Targets tab under Related objects. Looks good. But we don't want to show Associate Distribution Targets and Remove actions. Assume we want to use ESI Authors, is there a way to hide those actions by just limiting display to DTs.  If not any alternate solution other using ESI Authors?

 

I have tried creating new group and assigning Read permission on ESI Target & ESI Transaction, but the end result is same as ESI Authors path.

 

I am interested to know is there any other configuration steps to achieve our expected behavior.

 

Thanks

Running ModelCHECK from Windchill on demand

The Customer wants to run the ModelCHECK on demand from the Windchill UI.

Obviously there is a customization ahead as they want full ModelCHECK features working (incl. saving a result to parameters), email notification a.s.o.

The idea is to run ModelCHECK in batch mode but what I need to pass is native CAD file.

Action should be available from EPM Document info page.

 

I am looking for best practices and wanted to ask about your experience.

Hi there,

 

I just need some info regarding the data storage and data models in Windchill.

since lone time, we have been using Windchill and CREO to save CREO part, assy and drawings.

now I need to migrate some of CREO models from another system to Windchill.

but I don't how to do that.

Is there any way to see the data models for CREO data?

 

For e.g.:

 

If I create 3d model and save it in Windchill, how it's being saved inside oracle database.

 

Assy-1

|------Part1

|------Part2

    |--------drawing2

|------Drawing-1

 

where metadat is stored?

What're the different connections? how they're stored in database

how physical files being stored?

 

I really appreciate if you would suggest something.

 

Also, let me know if there is any tool that I can use to see the data models in Windchill.

 

 

Thanks In adv.

Error "CAD part is not unique"

Hi,

 

I am getting "CAD part XYZ.prt is not unique" error while checking in a particular assembly in Windchill.

 

In that assembly file there is no CAD part called as "XYZ.prt".

 

Is there any command to identify which part /feature / layer / subassembly is taking reference from this CAD part XYZ.prt?

 

or is there any other solution?

 

Thanks,

Saurabh

Hello All,

 

I trying to write a Query report to list all the values of Classification Attributes for all the WTParts. I followed PTC solution CS220979, I'm only getting the Attribute Names of all the WTParts. The values of the Attributes are not generated. Is there something I'm missing to add in the query?

 

Any suggestions would be helpful.

 

Thanks,

Display assigned material info for Ansys Engineer

Hello,

 

Is there any way to get Windchill to display the material details of a checked in material so the Ansys Engineer can add it to the study? Can Windchill export the material to a format that Ansys can use directly or at least display the details of the material?

 

It would also be useful when trying to find substitute materials within the approved material database without having to go directly to external sources (matweb etc)

 

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

General Questions as Admin, Old Users?

$
0
0

We used to have an admin who knew a lot more about WindChill than the current people including myself, I just have some general questions I can't really figure out. We are going through and trying to removing old users. The first method thought of is to add the old users to an admin group, change their password, log in as them and then remove all their workspaces. One of our confusions is that we have probably 8, 9 different groups set up from years ago and don't understand why some have visibility to certain product libraries and contexts. We had to test everyone to find which ones had visibility of all library so that we could see their workspaces by logging into them so we could delete them.

 

The other method I'm thinking of trying is actually deleting the user using windchill's delete function and then removing their personal cabinet. Is there any issue with doing thing? Does that blow everything away? I know it asks about undoing checked out objects so I'd think it is deleting everything. The current admin who kind of fell in to the position said the old admin (who knew what he was doing) said not to do that so I'm a bit weary. Mind you these people will never be returning.

 

The next thing I've stumbled on is that as admin's we should be able to view other peoples workspaces under each context, however, we can't...with my limited knowledge we must need to alter the access control policies to give our admin group that ability? This is another grey area we haven't been able to get to work, how do we alter this? A while back we tried at the org level to change access but it didn't appear to work, do we have to be at the site level or something?
