Hi Experts,

As per my understanding we have to pass the component ID in the getAddedItemsByName(String) method of NmCommandBean. But I am not able to get the required result using it. I want to get the WTPart from the Promotion  Objects table component of the Create Promotion notice Wizard. Guys please help me understand what need to be passed to the getAddedItemsByName(String) to get my desired output.ScreenShot089.bmp


Copy objects from PDMLink and Paste into ProjectLink

$

I want to explore change solutions in ProjectLink for the increased collaboration tools as part of our change process. However, I've not found a viable solution for copying the PDMLink objects into a Project for editing. The copy/paste option creates shared objects where all updates are shown in PDMLink. Save As and Move functions do not allow the objects to be transferred to ProjectLink. Is there a method for creating a copy of PDMLink objects in ProjectLink for editing? Is there another method for developing proposed solutions to changes before revising the objects as part of the ECN process?

This past weekend we updated our Windchill System from 10.2 M020 to 10.2 M030 CPS02.  Since then we have been experiencing significantly slow performance with multiple Method Servers becoming deadlocked and the DB maxing out.

 

Is anyone here running 10.2 M030 CPS02 and have/are you experiencing similar issues?

How to create my own ObjectCreateFormProcessor

Hi to all!

I need to get the oid after persistable object creation. I have created my own FormProcessor that extends CreateObjectFormProcessor.

I have overrided create action for the promotion request object like follow:

 

<action name="create" selectRequired="true" ajax="component" uicomponent="PROMOTE">

       <description>Promote create wizard</description>

        <command class="ext.myComp.formProcessor.CreatePRFormProcessor" method="myMethod" windowType="popup"/>

         <includeFilter name="restrictGuestMembers"/>

      </action>

 

But my own method didn't called after user finish the wizard. As I know system call the execute(NmCommandBean) method. So how can I call my own method? Thanks

Windchill Cache Recovery Tool

$
0
0

Many Windchill users out there are painfully aware of local workspace cache corruptions.  Those who have experienced this problem know that you can contact PTC and they will provide a list containing the names of the local cache files and their equivalent Pro/E file names.  You then have to manually rename all of the files using the provided list.  Having dealt with this in the past and based on information obtained from logged calls to PTC (and as others have mentioned here) I learned that the Pro/E file name can be found in the cache file, usually (but not always) in the file header.  After dealing with workspace cache corruptions many times I decided to see if I could automate this process.

Earlier this year, while between jobs, I began to develop what I am calling WC_FileRecovery.  It is a Windows application that will open cache files, attempt to determine the original Pro/ENGINEER file name and, if found, rename the cache file to that name.  This effort has been done completely on my own time and is not associated with either my previous or my current employer.  At this point in time I feel it is working quite well and would like to make it available to others.

In the Public Files area you will find two zipped files, one for 32 bit and one for 64 bit installations.  Each zipped file contains three files: a setup.exe and related .msi file as well as a PDF user guide.  Please read the user guide carefully to understand three very important things:

1. Use this program at your own risk!  If you aren't willing to take that risk, do not use the program.  See the user guide for more information.

2. Do not try to recover files in the original cache.  Copy the cache contents to another folder and recover the files in that folder.  This will leave your original cache intact if problems should arise.

3. The development of this program is being done on my own time.  I am not in the business of developing applications and my current employer expects me to do the work they are paying me to do.  As such, I welcome discussion of the program on the exploder.  However, I make no promise of correcting any issues that may surface as others begin to use the program.  This program comes with no warranty, expressed or implied (see item 1, above).

The installation of this program requires Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework and the installer will query your system to determine if it is already installed.  If not, you will be given an option to download and install the required version of .NET from Microsoft.

Finally, this program was developed using a Windchill 8.0 cache with Wildfire 3 and has not been tested with any other versions.  Using this program with other versions of Windchill or Pro/ENGINEER is not supported and results are unknown at this time.

I hope this program is useful to others.

ProjectLink: team members cannot cut and paste between folders?

$
0
0

We are currently on Windchill 10.1 m040 and are using ProjectLink, and in one Project no team member can cut from the main folder and paste into a sub-folder.  This is all within the same project.  No error message is given, but the paste window just says "Loading...." until canceled.  It is the same with a single object or multiple objects.  Objects being cut and pasted are CAD / EPM documents.

 

I have tested other projects with the same conditions and it works in those projects, so it seems like just this single project.

 

Anyone run into this before?

Limit number of Iterations for CAD document created in Windchill

$

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

Re-Type a Document (change soft-type)?

$
0
0

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.

Customization To Link a Ref Doc to a WTPart Without Iterating the WTPart

$

10.1 M040

 

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


How to track replacement history in a structure?

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.

Policy Admin priority

$

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?

After running the upgrade manager successfully (9.1M050 to 10.0M030) Windchill home page shows the error

HTTP Status 404 - /Windchill/netmarkets/jsp/netmarkets/overview.jsp

Description: The requested resource is not available.

The overview.jsp page is not present in the above location on the 10M030 system, but is present on the 9.1 system at /codebase/netmarkets/jsp/netmarkets/overview.jsp . Tried using the same file in target, but that did not work. Could not find any property anywhere referring to the specific page either. How do we avoid this error showing up?
