At my last company I setup what was called a partial AD connection. Where I just authenticated agents AD. I don't remember setting up a InfoEngine to use this. I am drawing a complete blank on how I did it and it is not in my notes. Any input and help would be great. I have read all the current information on the Help and community and still cannot figure it out.
Partial AD configuration with Apache Windchill 10.2 M020
Parts created using "Import from Spreadsheet" are not fetched
Hi, We have Windchill-SAP Integration. We created parts using import from spreadsheet in Windchill. We have created a Utility such that it would give a list of all parts which are in "PREPRODUCTION" state, but upon running that utility, the parts created using "Import from Spreadsheet" were not displayed in the list while other were.
We also have another utility we gives us the list of all parts that created after a certain date and are in a certain life cycle state, but similarly upon running that utility, the parts created using "Import from Spreadsheet" were not displayed in the list while other were.
How to resolve this problem?
Problem possibly related to Desktop Integration
All,
Despite many recommendations against it I decided to give it a try on the Windchill Desktop Integration (I'm running Windchill 10.1 M040, Office 2007 and IE 10). The installation went smoothly and I did follow the instructions from previous posts regarding preferences. The integration is working fine so far, but after the installation I noticed a curious "side effect": after using the DTI to open and edit a document from Windchill, my browser seems to go crazy as far as pop-up dialog boxes... For example: typically if you want to create a CN from an existing object, a separate window will pop up for you to fill out and submit the CN. After using DTI, a new window does pop up but it's empty, and the actual CN shows up as a new tab instead. This will happen for any command that would normally generate a new window, and the problem only goes away if I reboot my machine. I tried to clear the browser cache and temporary files but the issue didn't go away without rebooting it. If I don't use the DTI this behavior doesn't happen.
Has anybody seen this behavior? Any clues on how to get rid of it?

"Open in Creo" from browser opens 2nd Creo session
Creo 2
PDMLink 10.1 M050
I have users that sometimes have both Creo open logged into PDMLink and a separate IE browser logged into PDMLink.
If they use the "Open in Creo" in Creo to open another CAD file it will use the existing session. However, if they do the same thing through IE it will open a 2nd Creo session.
Is there a way to stop that? I don't want to disassociate the .pha file as a solution because I assume it would remove it from being usable through Creo. I want to know how to make the "Open in Creo" check if Creo is already running and then use that session.
Is there a recommended testing procedure for CPS updates?
How much detailed testing, if any, do you do after installing a CPS? We will test in a Test environment, but don't know how many resources to devote to this. Based on recent experience with some customizations not working when a CPS was installed we are concerned that the amount of time needed to test all major functions we use may make it not worth the time to install every monthly CPS. Do you install each one? Thanks for your guidance!
Promotion Request Review Process hangs...
On my test system, I am experimenting with Lifecycles, OIRs, ACLs, Roles, Types for WTDocuments and EPMDocuments. I evidently didn't do something right, and now when I try to run a Promotion Request Review to the Released State for an EPMDOC, the process doesn't complete and sometimes I get a “Error: Stalled (Failed queue entry)” error.
Any suggestions on what I should do to fix? I am afraid I made enough changes that I am having trouble narrowing it down.

Introducing PTC Windchill Customization
Good day everyone,
I am happy to announce a new PTC Windchilll conversation space dedicated to Customization.
Windchill is a complex and powerful tool, customization can be challenging while helping with utilization; I hope this conversation space is helpful.
You can reach it from the main community drop down menu (please see the screenshot below).
Best,
Toby

ProjectLink Task with Workflow step
Can we link a task in ProjectLink today with a workflow step? For example, I can have a workflow with a series of steps and each step can be mapped to a task in ProjectLink(Gantt Chart). Now, upon completion of a workflow step, the Gantt chart (task) can be updated as "Complete".
So, project management is automatic and no need for the project manager to go around to find out what tasks are complete to update ProjectLink (Gantt chart)? It is updated real-time!

datautility for a non single-value constraint attribute
We currently have a datautility that provides a SuggestTextBox for an attribute. This provides a type ahead dropdown of allowable values for the field and cuts down on misspellings and acronymns. The request has been made to remove the "Single-Value" constraint on this attribute to allow multiple values. The datautility as it is written assumes that there is one and only one value. I'm looking for an example of how it would change if a additional attribute values are added on the creation and edit pages. It seems like there must be a way to name the fields so Windchill will accept the multiple values. Also our code appears to stop the + button from appearing.
Here is the existing code:
SuggestTextBox plantSuggestBox = new SuggestTextBox("Plant", "Plant_autosuggest");
plantSuggestBox.setRenderer(new SuggestTextBoxRenderer());
plantSuggestBox.setColumnName(getColumnName(arg0, arg1, modelContext));
plantSuggestBox.setMinChars(1);
plantSuggestBox.setMaxResults(50);
plantSuggestBox.setEditable(true);
plantSuggestBox.setId(arg0);
plantSuggestBox.setWidth(60);
plantSuggestBox.setRequired(true);
if(modelContext.getDescriptorMode().equals(ComponentMode.EDIT)){
try {
plantSuggestBox.setValue(getIBAAttrValue((IBAHolder)containerObject4, plantIbaName));
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
guiComponentArray.addGUIComponent(plantSuggestBox);
component = guiComponentArray;
return component;
SuggestTextBox on IBA
I have a requirement to implement the suggestion text box on an attribute/IBA during Create wizard which would query all my suppliers from DB. I am able to make it work but I am not able to persist the value after selecting from suggestion list.
Any thoughts/samples ?

ACL's Extraction and Loading from Windchill 9.1 to Windchill 10.2 System
Hi All,
If we want to migrate ACL's from the source system Windchill 9.1 M010 to target system Windchill 10.2 M020. How would we do that ? Can you please answer the below questions
1. ) Do we need to write a custom utility for extracting ACL's from the source system ? If yes, can anyone please share a sample code related to the same.
2. ) As and when we migrate data from the source system to that of target system using Windchill Bulk Migrator the extracted data first loads into the staging database and from the staging database the data gets extracted into the target Windchill system. So upon extracting ACL's from the source system will they also be stored in the staging database. If yes where ?
3. ) Upon saying retrieving or extracting ACL's what is it are we extracting ? What is the output going to be like ? Is it an xml file or something else ? What is ACL's extracted output ? Say for suppose if we are extracting WTPart or WTDocument object types we can see all the object related data in the staging database and upon loading in target system and its database. So where will the ACL's be stored in the system ? Is it in the staging database or anything else ? Can anyone tell the name of the table ?
4. ) Upon creating an ACL in Policy Administrator will it make an entry in the Windchill folder. If yes which particular file will be internally modified and how to see that ?
Please answer these questions so that I can get some idea on ACL extraction and loading into target system.
Thanks and Regards,
Aditya Achanta
Windchill 10.2 services start/stop best practices?
Hello,
I'm finding recommendations and installations that are all over the map with regard to this, Being accustomed to products that have rigid requirements for service stop/start order, I was looking for feedback.
For a standard non-clustered machine, I was using these orders for stop/start with machines in my test environment (taken from PTC documentation or a document, I didn't note the source):
Stop order: Windchill, Windchill Directory Server, Apache
Start order: Windchill Directory Server, Apache, Windchill
Then I run across a live installation configured by someone with a more time and experience with the product using this order for a backup script:
Stop order: Windchill, Apache, Windchill Directory Server
Start order: Windchill Directory Server, Apache, Windchill
What I would like to know is if there is a best practice based on the technical needs, structure and/or interaction of the Windchill services. I've read the older discussions here with previous Windchill releases, and it seems reasonable to stop or start the Apache services depending on how users could be affected. Other than that, how should the Windchill service and the Directory services be handled?
Thank you.
Regards,
ML Starkey
