Need to write a service listener which could listen to external folder changes
Hi All,
I need to write a service listener which could listens to any change, either creation or modification of an object, which takes place on an external folder (OS folder). For example, I have a folder on the server (same on windchill) D:\input. If somebody creates an xml with WTPart name,number etx attribute, Windchill should listen to the new creation and creates a WTPart in Windchill. Similarly, even if someone modifies a file under D:\input, it shall trigger a request to create a WTPart. I'll think of the validation later, but I'm not aware of the events which I need to check for and how to read data on that.
Please help.
thanks,

Changing structure of a multi-level family table
Hello everybody,
If possible, I maybe want to change an existing Multi-level table. It is an part "Bolt" with DIN and ISO as highest level. Downwards it consist of the several DIN- and ISO-norms. When putting a hexbolt M6 ISO8765 in the assembly you look first for ISO and then the specific norm and size. Because ISO8765 is equal to DIN960, I want to smash ISO8765 and DIN960 to one level! And so also smash the highest levels DIN and ISO to one "DIN/ISO" or even delete!
I hope it's clear what I want!? And it's problably not possible, I suspect, but maybe can someone suprise me?
Is it also possible to copy one level?
Thanks already!

Has anyone re-hosted to VMWARE for production?
We are considering the move from a AIX LPAR (Vitualized) to a VMWare Linux host. We've heard there can be issues with stability at heavy loads on some VMWare platforms. Has anyone experiences this or had any success with VMWare?

Using import spreadsheet for Reference document
Hi
We have started using Windchill & WT parts to manage all the information of our products. We started to store pdf versions of our drawing (for quick reference) in WT parts, but having to do the process for multiple items can take lots of time (go to WT part, checkout part, Create new Reference document, add pdf to reference document, checkin everything, rince & repeate...)
I recently learned about the Import from spreadsheet in Windchill and was able to create a simple tool to let a user bulk load multiple WTpart. I was wondering if it was possible to import spreadsheets to do the following tasks:
-Create a Reference Document part
-Add a pdf to the Reference Document (if could be defined with a path)
-Add this new Reference Document to a WTpart (of the same number)
Is this too much for the Import from spreadsheet function? If it is possible, what would be the required attributes in the Excell spreadsheet? If it is not possible, are there any way to manage documentation in a more effective way?
We are using Windchill 10.2
Thank you

Windchill 10.2 Drag-n-Drop Single Document Upload
PTC is happy to announce the new HTML5 based drag-n-drop file upload utility with Windchill 10.2_M020. This new utility will replace the existing Java based drop target and give people a much simpler and more intuitive way to upload new documents and attachments. This video demonstrates how easy it is to create a single document and its associated attachments using the new drag-n-drop upload utility.
This video does not contain audio, yet...

Extending the modeled attribute string length well beyond 500 charater limit
Has anyone done this? I have a request that a document type be transferred into Windchill (essentially getting rid of the document by not having primary content), the content would be entered as attributes. The question is, has anyone done anything like this? One of the attribute strings would need to be increased to allow 4-5 thousand characters.

Policy Administration role 'Reviewer'
Windchill 10.1 M020
We've been using Change Management for some time. I've been working on a project to expand this into other parts of our facility. In doing so, I have to set up (and review existing) policy settings in the Policy Administration utility.
One of the things I noticed was that the Design Engineer role (the entire product engineering department) had modify permission when a Change Activity (WTChangeActivity2) was at the Under Review state. This looked like a mistake I simply forgot to correct upon implementation. The only role that should be modifying the Change Activity is the Reviewer, who is chosen when the Change Notice Implementation Plan is first created. I double checked and the Reviewer did indeed have the correct permissions for Under Review WTChangeActivity2. So, I removed the policy for Design Engineer.
Turns out removing this caused every reviewer to no longer be able to attach documents to the Change Activity. I double check the Reviewer policy and everything looks right. In fact, it's identical to the Design Engineer policy that is allowing attachments to be made. I even look over the Assignee policy and verify it's working as expected at each state (Implementation = modify; Under Review = no modify).
It's looking like the Reviewer role chosen in the Workflow Template is in no way related to the Reviewer listed as a role in Policy Administration. Knowledge Base provided nothing (granted, I give up on it pretty quickly due to how much of a PoS it is).
I put the Design Engineer policy back in place just so the system works while I sort this out, but it's not an ideal situation to allow any member of product engineering to modify the Change Activity at any point in the review.
Has anyone else seen weird behavior with the Reviewer role? If so, what else should I look into?
I thought about using a different role (or creating my own) but that would be a bit too much work to go through if it's something simple I'm overlooking.

Getting errors while starting the windchill server- Prod down
In order to remove unreferenced files from the vault wanted to set the wt.fv.purgeUnreferencedFilesOlderThan =2
I just did the following steps as initial step for removing the .unreferenced files:
1) Updated site.xconf to set wt.fv.purgeUnreferencedFilesOlderThan =2
2) Ran xconfmanager –p from Windchill home directory
3) No error reported
4) Stopped Windchill
5) Cleared tomcat instances
6) After that tried to start the method server but it’s not starting
Getting following error

Force End Item = Yes?
I'm on 10.1 M020 and I'm unable to force the End Item attribute on a WTPart soft type to "Yes" either through the OIR, Default Values tab, or both. Has anyone been able to do this? It always remains at "No" no matter what I do.

How to add information in a column to the Routing/Process History Table
We would like to add a column containing the routing instructions to the Routing/Process History table. Has anyone done this, or something similar? If so, how?
Or failing that, adding the same information to the Process Status table.

Windchill and Windows 10
Just a general question if anyone has knowledge on this... What version of Windchill will be compatible with Windows' new web browser Edge(Spartan)? It is a completely redesigned browser that is not in any way tied to IE, so just wondering what it's all going to break.
Reason I ask, is we are looking at upgrading Windchill soon and would like to not have to upgrade again shortly down the road because of compatibility issues.

Rename many + Revise many
We acquired a company with mature SolidWorks design data - now bringing into Windchill.
They had no data management - just stored in folders. Filenames include Revision.
All comes in very nicely. But - Need
A) A mass Rename / Renumber effort
Thoughts / advice on how to rename / renumber efficiently?
B) Also need to Revise all to the current correct Rev (or bring in at correct Rev - does not seem possible)
Thoughts on how to bring each to correct Rev efficiently?
thanks in advance

SQL Query for document Context/Location
Does anyone have a SQL query to list of all documents, with their context & location.
I did setup a query in report builder, however I run into a record count limitation (65k) when exporting. When using the SQL query from this report in SQL itself, it only brings over the IDs for context and folder path (I need the names). I must need to link to another table, even though the report builder SQL is not showing such?

Baseline & Managed Collection Questions
Hello,
Currently we have a manual process utilizing promotion requests, and have a goal of utilizing Windchill functionality to review and release without using an ECN:
1. Can you promote a baseline?
2. Can you promote a managed collection?
3. Can you show out-of-date status in either?
4. Can a baseline be updated from the baseline tool?
Thanks,
Take care,
