Hi All,

 

Good Day To You..

 

I've removed Windchill  existing user normaly. But, still that user is existing in products context. I've checked in LDAP, where no such user was observed.

 

But, from SQL Server, by executing a query, I've found that user from WTUser table.

API for Windchill User Login Event

$

When a user logs in, there is a record added to the database in the AUDITRECORD table.  I assume some java code is executed when a user logs in, to put that record in the database.

 

I was thinking about leveraging this API to do some additional things, such as check the user's preferred file server (their vaulting preference).  I could add additional code to this java class do what I desire.  But first I need to determine what API is triggered during the login.

 

Anyway have ideas of which API(s) are triggered during user login?

Opinion of the integration PDMLink and Creo

$
0
0

I love both tools PDMLink and Creo. The basic interface works. But by now I would expect some real new features from PTC. I still can't belief why these two major programs of PTC can't get a better and deeper interface. The following examples show my considerations:

 

 

Homogeneous CAD-Templates

This includes that if a new CAD-Document is being created in Creo by the File->New Dialog, all the attributes are automatically being pulled from PDM. So the Material, the values of enumerations etc. are being managed in one single system.

This will also address the idea

Having a single "Material" Business Object in Windchill

 

 

Revising

If an engineer revises the CAD-Document there is no help to collect the Drawing or the WTPart. Instead of the Creo Dialog it should show the PDMLink collector dialog. Otherwise the user needs to revise the WTPart by itself.

Also it should be possible to revise CAD-Documents only if the user connects it directly to a change task. Otherwise he needs to do it before or afterwards. The dialog should show all the open change tasks like on the user homepage.

Revise released objects only with a connected Change Notice

 

 

Cabling or Piping

It should be possible to transfer the length to the BOM insted only the quantity "each". Most smaller companies don't have a WTPart for each cable. They have a single WTPart for the complete cable reel and will cut them for each length by theme self.

 

....

 

 

I haven't yeat created a new idea because there are already many around. What are your thought's about that? Are you happy with the current compilation?

Since Creo and PDMLink are the "Main Products" of PTC, I would really expect more and a further development of these two products.

For me, the development of these two products are still far away from my expectations. Since three years I can't really tell, what new features are being showed. I still belief the development is being done by two different teams which don't talk with each other...

 

 

Thanks

Productivity Enhancements on Windows Explorer Integration for Windchill Desktop Integration 10.2, Part I

$
0
0

In Windchill 10.2 a lot of effort has been made to enhance and simplify the user experience when working with WTDocuments from your Microsoft Windows Desktop.

In this blog I will show you some of the enhancements and how they can significantly simplify your interaction with documents stored in your company’s Windchill system.

 

Windows Explorer Integration

 

The PTC Windchill Desktop Integration plugin adds the Windchill Documents system folder to your local environment. You can you use that Windows Explorer Integration to find, open, access and download Windchill documents without the need to open the Windchill web application in a browser.

 

DTI.png

This will give you a variety of ways to easily access and interact with documents just like they had been stored on your local system:

 

  • by double clicking on a file in the Windows Explorer
  • by using the context (right mouse button) menu on the Windchill node, any context folder or document in the Windows Explorer
  • by the File > Open dialog of any local application (like Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat…)
  • ...

 

But I do not want to miss the (in my opinion) most natural way of interacting with documents in Windows – Drag and Drop.

As working with the Explorer Integration should just feel natural, Drag and Drop capabilities have been integrated and with Windchill 10.2 M010 these have even been enhanced.

Dragging a document file from your local system to a context folder under the Windchill Documents node will trigger one of the following actions (depending on the area where you drop the document):

 

  • New Document / New Multiple Documents
  • Check In
  • Replace Content

 

The other direction is supported as well:

Grabbing a document from a Windchill context folder and dragging it to your local system or another Windchill context will trigger corresponding actions depending if modifier keys (Shift and / or Ctrl) are applying and the target the document is dropped (possible actions are copy, move, create shortcut…).

 

Access to Windchill Functionality


Starting with Windchill 10.2 F000, the right-click menu in Windows Explorer includes a wider range of Windchill actions. While in previous releases only actions such as Open and View Information were available, this expanded to the most commonly used actions on the Windchill web application (even multiselect for Check in, Set State… have been implemented in 10.2 M030).

The right mouse button menu is context sensitive and the actions availability will change depending on the object you open it on. Additional restrictions like access permissions, preferences and so on can have impact on the availability of actions.

WCUpgradeCFTR_DIChangesWindchillActionsAddedtotheRightClickMenu.png

My personal highlight is the introduction of the Compare Document functionality in the Windows Explorer integration with Windchill 10.2 F000.

 

Compare Documents


Starting Windchill 10.2 F000 (and enhanced in 10.2 M010) the Desktop integration added compare capabilities. But different to the compare functionality available in the Windchill web application this will concentrate less on comparing metadata but more on comparing the content of the documents.

Out of the box Windchill supports Microsoft Word 2007 and 2010 files and had been extended to Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint in Windchill 10.2 M010 (dedicated support matrix below).

 

Office VersionMicrosoft ExcelMicrosoft WordMicrosoft PowerPoint
2007NoYesNo
2010NoYesYes
2013YesYesYes

 

Additional file compare tools can be registered based on the file extension in the Windchill Desktop Integration Configuration menu.

 

There are two different compare actions available:

 

  • Compare Document Versions

This will allow you to compare the file content of two different versions of the same document (see screenshot)

  • Compare Documents

This will allow you to compare the content of two different objects, which need to be of the same file type.

 

WCUpgradeCFTR_DIEnhancementsDocumentComparisonActionsandOptions.png

 

Going forward

 

This was the first part of my post about productivity enhancements on Windows Explorer Integration.

In the second part I will show you how easy it is to access Windchill Meta data in the Windows Explorer, how this can be adjusted to your needs and how simple it is to find any document with the integrated Windchill search.

 

If you are in the meantime interested in additional details on the Windchill Explorer Integration, you’ll find further information in the Windchill Help Center.

 

And as always any questions and comments are appreciated but I definitely would be very interested in your ideas:

 

  • What do you think about the enhanced functionality? Which functionality you like best?
  • For which things do you use the Windows Explorer integration?

 

Please let me and the community know about it.

Before rendering the tree table, condition is provided to check the value of Radio button from NmCommandBean. Then tree table is rendered correctly in
collapsed mode as per setting on next page in wizard.  Then I am trying to  expand it by clicking on “+” icon.

After that again focus goes to tree table builder code where NmCommandBean is null. And the expansion goes in infinte loop.

Is there any way to solve this?

CAD Data Management Diary Study

The Windchill CAD Data Management and UX teams are working towards improving the User Experience, and getting customer import is vital to that import.  We know that committing time to take part in UX tests or even customer visits is not always easy to do, so we are investigating other ways to gather information with minimum customer effort.

 

This diary study is one of those means. We have determined the list of most common PDM actions for CAD users managing their data in Windchill.  We have validated that list at TC's and through qualitative customer interviews, but we would like to gather some quantitative data on those common actions using a diary study.

 

This diary study requires that you answer the same questions over a period of 2 weeks about your most common PDM actions when working with CAD data.  Filling out the survey will only a few minutes after the first time. 


The only requirements are:

  • You use Windchill to manage CAD data (Creo or other CAD tools)
  • Your ability to fill out the same survey (via Google forms) for most of the days over two week period.

 

We do ask for an email address, but that address will  be used to group responses.  We will only contact you with additional questions if you agree to be contacted in the study.

 

The link the the forms is below.  Feel free to review the questions ahead of time. You can also stop participation at any time.

 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&pli=1&formkey=dHRVUWVSY080dU5VczFoa0xIczZHMVE6MQ#gid=0

 

Please share the study if you of other CAD Data Management user who would be willing to participate in this study.

 

Thank you in advance for your participation,

Hello,

I have some questions on how to change the attributes within the change request form. What I want to do is delete some system ones from the form and add choices to another system one. See attached screen shot.

I think that I found the file in enumcustomize to change to add choices, but do not know where to look to delete the fields. I need to know how for either 9.1 m060 or 10.0.

Thanks,

PDMLink Oracle Table listings

$

Does anyone have a document that lists the Oracle tables and other items in Oracle that Windchill uses with a description of what each record in the table is used for?

I know it would not be a small document as there are over 900 tables in PDMLink and they vary in size.

If someone has already done this, it save others from having to do the same work again.

 

If the number of tables changes with different versions, that would be useful information, too.

 

I am on Windchill/PDMLink 10.0m050 and am looking at 10.2m030.
