I think this has been knocked around a bit already but, does anyone know if this is possible?
We are about to upload over 3k documents from WC9 into WC10.
In WC10 I have created a lot more document types and sub-types and my guess is that someone will say that a document or two should be changed to a different type (after its imported).
Other than creating the document again, it would be helpful to just change the type.
I have been told the plugin works for FlexPLM 10.1 and wanted to see if anyone has tried to use it with FlexPLM 9.2.
Hi all,
Do you experience this kind of error while opening windchill? After how many days of not opening the server because we re-arrange our office, now I cannot log on windchill and it prompt me in the browser "Service Temporarily Unavailable" The server is temporarily unabel to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
The server is up to 1 hr now and I get the same error in my browser. Please help.
Thank you.

Created a userpicker in a custom datautility and regiseterd it on a string attribute. Picker renders correctly in UI. On selecting user clicking finish windchill throws error for custom callback function saying that we cannot set value for null. Also mc.getRawValue() always returns null in the below code.
//Get datavalue method of datautilty
public Object getDataValue(String component_id, Object object, ModelContext mc) throws WTException {
buildUserPickerConfig(component_id, mc);
Object localObject = null;
System.out.println(mc.getRawValue());
if (mc.getRawValue() != null)
{
localObject = mc.getRawValue();
defaultProps.put(PickerRenderConfigs.DEFAULT_HIDDEN_VALUE, localObject.toString());
} else
{
localObject = "";
}
PickerInputComponent pic = new PickerInputComponent("UserPicker",localObject.toString(), defaultProps);
pic.setColumnName(component_id);
return pic;
}
//Callback JS
function userPickerCallback(objects, pickerID)
{
var updateHiddenField = document.getElementById(pickerID);
alert(updateHiddenField);
var myJSONObjects = objects.pickedObject;
for(var i=0; i< myJSONObjects.length;i++) {
var oid = myJSONObjects[i].oid;
alert(oid);
// Here “fullName” is the displayAttribute requested
updateHiddenField.value=oid;
}
}

Hi!
I need to get data from request object inside the expression robot. How can I get it?
Thanks!
Dear Experts,
We have a situation that the purge cannot be executed for some of the contexts where the Assemblies are released without the objects.
Hence by purging for a specific Lifecycle [ Under Review], Purges appropriate Assembly but also component parts, which is dependent to the Assembly [Say which is Under review]
PTC TS confirmed that the Purge does not have function to ignore the dependent objects.
Now I am pushed to a situation where to limit the Number of Iteration of CAD objects and so to remove the older iterations.
But still the risk is that how is the removal of older iterations will that consider the dependent objects ?
Is there a preference to limit the Iterations ? Any suggestion?
Thanks

In our manufacturing process we perform some testing and the results are recorded in a document. We want to manage this document inside of Windchill as a reference document. We also want to link this document to the corresponding WTPart. However, the WTPart is in the RELEASED state and therefore cannot be modified to link the document. Has anyone else had this requirement and if so how did you solve it?
My first thought would be to create an event listener that prevents the checkout and iteration of the WTPart if this specific type of reference document is being linked. However during my research I am finding it difficult to find the right event or events to veto.
Thanks,
Patrick Williams
Can anyone provide some assistance as to why we are getting the following MS log error message when trying to run a Cognos report:

Greetings Gurus,
Scenario: Engineer creates a structure (CAD or Product) including Part A in the assembly. Later the Engineer changes the BOM to replace Part A with Part B in the structure. I need to be able to record the event that Part A superseded Part B, capture it in an attribute "Superseded By" and send it to ERP.
Is anyone out there doing something like this? Does Windchill even track anything like this?
Comments appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I've a question about the use of attribute filters that I was hoping you could help me with.
We initially discovered this in@ Catia WGM (10.2), but the result seems to be consistent throughout our Windchill set up.
In the default Golf Cart Product, I want to create a context containing all parts including the word "AXLE" in the name.
I know from a search that there are 10 Occurrences in the assembly, and want to create a context containing these parts and their parents up to the Golf Cart level.:
When I apply an attribute search looking for *AXLE* however, no results are returned.
Initial feedback suggests that the word AXLE would need to appear in the part name at every level above the areas I'm interested in, right up to the immediate children of the Golf Cart level, or for the filter to give the results we expected. However, this does not seem to match how the user documentation explains that the the attribute filter works (unless it expects a completely flat tree structure).
A recursive search capability appears to be a very basic type of attribute filter requirement and I was hoping someone could suggest how I can best achieve this result.
Any advice would be gratefully received
Thanks

I have a sub-type for WTChangeOrder2 (Change Notice) and for WTChangeActivity2 (Change Activity) workflows. The main (non-sub-) type for each is the Engineering Dept release process. The sub-type for each is Manufacturing's 'production release'. Each of the two workflows uses different roles and responsible people so, naturally, each needs to have different permissions for the various stages (states).
Everything is working as I wanted it to in testing so now it's time to do up the Policy for all the various roles in each workflow.
My dilemma is about the priority of policy concerning main types and sub-types. Here is what i have.
When I get Policy set for WTChangeOrder2, does that override any policy set for MfgECO?
Or does MfgECO override WTChangeOrder2?
I assume MfgECO would inherit any policy settings from WTChangeOrder2 if I forget to set it in the sub-type, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Any traps I should be aware of?
There doesn't seem to be detailed information about FlexPLM Product Calendars in FlexPLM User Guide or in the FlexPLM Help Center.
I would like to understand what the date values mean and how to calculate duration.
Any help with this top will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jim
Hello All,
We are using Solid Edge and Windchill.
Does anyone have experience with the integration of
Solid Edge with the Workgroup Manager of Windchill with the CADi extension of KPIT?
I am interested in sharing expiriences and knowledge.
with kind regards,

Does anyone want to have side meeting for further discussion? Maybe during lunch, break or after last class one day? Any suggestions how to obtain more info about this subject?
With my company wanting to head down this road, I am hoping to take back some valuable info from the conference.
I do plan to attend the following presentations.
Monday 1-3pm
MOPTCU204 - Techniques for New Assembly Creation Using PTC Windchill
Scott Barkman, PTC.........In this training session, attendees will learn how to create a new assembly in PTC Windchill resulting in an associated bill of materials (BOM) and how to use PTC Creo to associate CAD Models to the Parts. After completing this course, attendees will be able to:
Create a Top Level Product Structure and sublevel structures resulting in a BOM
Monday 5-5:45pm
CUST124 - Linked Data in Real Life: How "Owner Links" Change Everything
Albert Anderson, Solar Turbines Incorporated; David Nelson, Solar Turbines, Inc…………..Is your company considering linking CAD objects to Parts in PTC Windchill? Properly linked BOMs provide powerful benefits and the functionality works well, but the change involved for end users, change managers, and support personnel can be daunting. The presenters will take attendees through the basics of linked data, with real-world perspective on what it takes to transition from a non-linked to a linked data environment. The presentation will include examples of the effort and pitfalls involved, along with examples of the significant benefits once successfully implemented.
Tuesday 1:15-2pm
PART201 Ninja MCAD/ECAD BOM Creation
Scott Claes, Claesdotbiz LLC…………..The automated generation of a Bill of Material from CAD Data is a primary benefit of the PTC Windchill PLM system. The presenters will take you through the steps on how to do this rapidly and efficiently in your organization. Attendees will gain an understanding of what the techniques are to automate generation of WTPARTS in a useful way. Beginning with an MCAD Assembly that includes an ECAD sub assembly, the presenters will generate a complete BOM. This includes driving the ECAD assembly BOM from the Schematic CAD data with the Unified Workgroup Manager. The presenters will also engage in short discussion of New Part Introduction (NPI) Process.
Wed 8:15-9am
CUST305 - Demo of Alcon Change Management Process Using CAD Driven Product Structure
Preeti Gupta, Alcon; Leonard Rodriguez, Alcon……………...This demo presentation will be of the Alcon Change Management Process using CAD Driven Product Structure. The presenters will show live how manipulating CAD Structure in the work space automatically updates the product structure. The presenters will also cover best practices in place and what the challenges are a CAD designer faces to maintain a CAD driven product structure. The CAD driven demonstration will cover the process for creating WTParts for new and existing CADDoc. Defining the WTPart attributes and association types to generate Engineering Bill of Materials (eBOM).
I am trying to get change management working to flow through Change Request to Change Notice to Change Task and have it all connected.
When I go to create a Change Notice, I get: No lifecycle template could be found for the wt.change2.changeactivity2.
Where is this set at?
Or is there something else that is preventing this from going through?
We are not using the OOTB workflow or lifecycle names, but ours are copied from them at v8.
We are now on 10.0 m040, having done a v9 and v9.1 upgrades previously.
In the Related tab of a WTPart, what's the difference between Described by Documents and References Documents? Can you give an example of each?
Windchill has the WWGM for AutoCAD however there can be issues with the WWGM keeping up with the releases of AutoCAD. The WWGM is required in order to store AutoCAD as EPMDocuments in Windchill. The files could be stored as WTDocuments. I am looking for thoughts on the Pros and Cons to the two approaches as well as how other enterprises manage AutoCAD content. Also has anyone ever re-types EPMDocuments already managed in Windchill to WTDocuments? If so then how?
Thanks
I am beginning to use Windchill Managed Baselines (under version 10.1) and have specific and general questions. Thanks for any responses, Jerry
1. It appears that the baseline object links to the existing copy of the items/revisions included (rather than make a copy). Can someone confirm whether this is true?
2. Is there a built-in way to export a list of the baseline items? (my current workaround is compare to an empty baseline and copy/paste the data from popup - very clunky).
3. Does anyone with experience using Windchill baselines have any cautions or recommendations i.e. regarding non-obvious behavior, limitations, side-effects, etc
Has anyone configured Apache to support SAML 2.0? Which SAML supplier did you use?
Thanks,
Dennis
