I am picking up an in-process project of configuring SSO with the software mentioned in the question, and as I dive in I wanted to put out a question to the user community here to see if anyone has implemented this within their environment, and if so, could provide any helpful details/information as I go forward. Even if not the exact same software environment, but configuring SSO in general, that would be a significant help.
Thanks in advance!

We would like to merge two PartsLInk instances into one. Has anyone has done this before?
If yes, can yo share your experiences and the how you did it? Or anything I should be aware of?
Hi,
How do we create a new object in Windchill ? Just like how we see WTPart, WTDocument, EPMDocument etc in Type and Attribute Manager a new object like "ABC" which is sub typeable as well.
If we wish to create all together a new object in Windchill ? How to do that ? Is that possible ? If yes can you please let me know the procedure or process. I haven't seen much in customization guide but in case if there is any sample code or input regarding the same it will be more beneficial.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
We create a CAD Part in Creo and its corrosponding Drawing in Creo. Then we Check both of them into Windcill with Auto Association, so a WTPart corrosponding to them gets created. We need the URL of the Drawing which we created in Creo.We just need UL so that we can open it in Creo View.
We tried using UIHelper.getLaunchProductView but gives us the URL of CAD Part.
We also tried using WVSContentHelper.getDownloadURL but it is giving us 5-6 URL links (which has Partnumber. jpg/log/ol/pvs/plt/pvt/pvm as extensions) but we need only one and that too that of Drawing.
Please suggest how to do this.
Once the process plan is created in the MPMLink system, is it possible to do "Save As" to create a new process plan with the information same as the one created previously.
It would be helpful for the MFG team to reuse the existing process plan without recreating from scratch.

Hi All,
In case if there are more than 2 instances of source Windchill 9.1 M010 systems and if our target system should be Windchill 10.2 M020.
How do we choose whether we will have to Migrate or Upgrade the source system to target system ? What are the metrics or parameters that we choose before selecting it. Is it like if a system has more customization then we choose Upgrade and if a system has less customization then we do choose Migrate ?
So kindly let us know how do we get to know whether we will have to migrate it or upgrade the system ?
Thanks in advance.

I have a custom table component that displays records in a tree layout. When I perform a certain action against a parent record (PARENT), certain attributes of that record and all of its immediate children (CHILDREN) are modified. I'm able to add a DynamicRefreshInfo to the processor's form result so that PARENT is refreshed asynchronously very nicely, but I'm not able to add refresh infos so that CHILDREN are refreshed in the same manner. It seems that when I try to add multiple refresh infos, the table component as a whole is refreshed. That's not the behavior I want.
Anybody have any experience with this?
We have set auto number for creating new CAD documents and by default the file name is set same as auto number but I want to give my own unique file name when creating the CAD document in Creo session.
I have tried the following options
1. Creating a CAD document in Windchill we can enter the File name even though we have auto number but in Creo session it is not possible.
2. After creating the CAD file in Creo session we will have the auto number but after upload we can change the file name even through the number will be auto number
But all the above options are tedious process for creating any new CAD file
Any idea in this regard will be very helpful

Hello Windchill Gurus,
Problem:
"Policy Administrator" does not display its contents when launched from stand-alone browser IE9. All I get is the Java logo and an endlessly-rotating progress bar. Eventually (5 minutes?) the process times out with a time-out error message.
Configuration:
Windchill-based ProINTRALINK 10.0 m030
Client-Side Stand-Alone Browser = IE9
Client-Side Java = Version 6 Update 45 (1.6.0_45-b06)
Windows 7 Professional, SP1
Notes:
1. Changing Java to newer version does not correct the issue.
2. PTC Support is currently handling my open Call but no concrete answer yet. (Y'all know that drill...)
3. My Windchill server has been added to IE9>Tools>Internet Options>Security>Trusted sites.
4. Java Control Panel has been configured to allow just about any script to run when Prompted, if necessary.
Per http://support.ptc.com/WCMS/files/124477/en/Windchill10.0M050SoftwareMatrices030414.pdf, WC10.0 m050 supports 1.6.0_45 or higher in the 1.6.0 series and Version 7 Update 45 or later on the Client Side.
I'd like to know what WC10.0 m030 worked with when first released but I can locate the Software Matrix for WC10.0 m030 on PTC's site. (For some reason, PTC Support can not locate the m030 version of the Software Matrix. Geez...)
Anybody out there have an old copy of the WC10.0 m030 Software Matrix to share?
Or is anybody still running WC10.0 m030 with IE9? If so, what version of Java are you running on the Client Side to access "Policy Administrator" from a Stand-Alone browser?
BTW, the best solution would be to upgrade WC. Believe me, that is on my radar but until then....
TIA.

Hi all,
We are using 10.2 PDMLink.
In documentation / help, it is mentioned that there are 4 types of configurable links possible, namely
Configurable Describe Link—A version to version relationship --- this is same as the Part to its "Described by Documents", when doc is revised, only the old revision is linked to the Parent, new revision is not referenced. Revision Specific Documentations are an example.
Configurable Reference Link—A version to master relationship --- Here, the Document connected as Reference link is always the latest--Example is a general spec document on Surface finish(Master documents are used like this).
Configurable Masters Link—A master to master relationship --- CAD to CAD, CAD to Part, Part to Part (All uses and used by links)
Configurable Revision Link—A revision to revision relationship---- What is this ?? and where it is recommended to be used, any example?
Best Regards

In our environment we have had multiple issues with users accidentally deleting a Workspace which contains changed (not checked out) and new objects by miss clicking upon activating a workspace.
The Delete button is right next to the Activate button and both require an extra answer in a pop-up window:
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
When Activating you must answer this question:
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
And when Deleting you must answer this question:
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
If your mindset is to activate the WS and you know you get the extra question to which you must answer YES, you are very likely to click on the OK button when you accidentally clicked on the Delete button.
In other posts people have asked about recovering removed workspaces, but unless you have uploaded all your new and changed files, there is no way to restore these files. They are really gone.
So now my question:
Is there a way to customize the My Workspace view and remove the Delete function from the Actions menu?
Hi all,
It was a surprise to note that only Documents under the Type "Reference Document" can be used in the Part to Doc relation called as "References Document".
Why is this?
I cant find any possibility with change this behavior using the Relationship Constraints.
This means that when we design the document data model long before we start using Parts, we should decide whether it is going to be a "Reference document" or not?
Sounds strange! or is there any way out?
Basically, we want to be flexible in the way a document can be used --- as "Described by" document or as "References Document".
Best Regards

At Neopost we operate a Part centric Windchill configuration. In my previous company they operated a CAD centric Windchill configuration and there are pros and cons for each.
What I'd like to know is how many people are Part centric, CAD centric or even a mixture of the two (if that's possible).
Please help me by responding to this poll.
Thank you.

Dear Community,
I observed that in file window undo checked out option is shows enable even without doing checked out part/assembly. I think it should be visible only after part is checked out. Please refer below image. Any option available to set it disable & if not let me put on product IDEA
