Windchill "Name" becomes same as filename / number - any way around that?
Calling all Windchill experts:
Can you help me out with this issue that has been irking me for a while:
In our current system, when making a new model, the CAD users are used to rigorously filling out the Name (as per company numbering scheme) but they leave the "Common Name" blank:
So then the hidden model parameter PTC_COMMON_NAME takes on the value of filename, that is, "Name" in the above dialog box.
Then upon saving to workspace, the Windchill "Name" of the object takes on the value of PTC_COMMON_NAME and so becomes the same as filename. When object is uploaded to the server, our Windchill auto-assigns it the number that is the same as the filename. So now, when browsing our database, I often end up looking at tables that have 2 or 3 columns filled with the same information: File Name = 995-13004.prt; Number = 995-13004.PRT; Name = 995-13004.prt.
Ok, so in our drawing title blocks and BOM tables, the "Part Name" field displays the value of the model parameter PART_NAME.
Well, I thought I would be clever and add the relation PART_NAME = PTC_COMMON_NAME to our start part. Well, many engineers don't like it, and I think they have a good reason. They are used to deciding what the part is called when the drawing is being completed; at that time, the value of the PART_NAME model parameter can be conveniently changed by double-clicking on the table cell. With that model relation in place, double-clicking on the drawing's table cell now produces the message "User parameter PART_NAME in 995-13004 is driven by relation PART_NAME=PTC_COMMON_NAME". So now, what used to take them a couple of seconds turns into a minute-or-two ordeal (you have to go to Windchill, rename the object, refresh the workspace, regenerate the model and the drawing). I can see it can be a real pain IF you didn't plan ahead...
Anyway, I don't really want to change their workflow, but I was wondering if there is a way for the Windchill object's Name to be changed/updated upon check-in? (specifically, is there a way that the object's Name is made equal to a designated parameter PART_NAME)?

Security Labels come to the Workspace: What you need to know (Part I)
Starting in Windchill 10.2 M020, security labels and their values can be displayed in your workspace views. If you have security labels configured, you are now able to add security labels to your workspace table views, just like any other attribute.
You do this by creating a new table view in your workspace. In the New View wizard, add your security labels as part of the Set Column Display (step 4). This can be done by either adding the “All Security Labels” from the "Available Columns" list on the left over to the “Selected Columns” list on the right.
This, as the name suggests, adds all of your defined security labels into your table view in one step. Alternatively, you can select individual security labels by name from the Available Columns list as shown in the following figure with the security label “Training Required” moved over to the Selected Columns list.
Now that your workspace table view is saved to include your security labels, you are able to view them directly from your workspace listing. This eliminates the need to navigate to individual information pages to find out specific values.
In addition to the workspace itself, this is applicable to all workspace related UIs such as the model structure report on the CAD document information page and the Check In UI (more on that in my next post).

Alias Attributes in Report Manager
It would be great if we can get Report on Alias Attributes through Report Manager, We would reduce the use of Joins and further complexities in Reporting.
E.g If I have an Alias attribute to show all the Change Orders on a Change Request, I dont need to join multiple tables in Query Builder to do that, I should be able to add the Alias attribute from Query Builder and Get the result.

10.2 to 11.0 upgrade
When upgrading to 10.0 from 10.2 M030, I have 2 questions.
.
Are there are negatives to upgrading on the same production server?
.
I have always seen where most upgrade to a separate server, for fear of conflicts with db, wc folders, vaults, etc.
.
What is the 1st accept MOR to upgrade to
.
I have always read where anything before M020 has too many bugs to upgrade to. If not M030.
.
Thanks

Will the below code cause the workflow to get aborted or terminated?
I was trying to have a look at the Routing Expression of a workflow and stumbled upon a Catch(throwable t).An overview study about this sort of catch block is not recommended. Can someone help me understand the instances when this code will not work properly.
wt.maturity.PromotionNotice pn = (wt.maturity.PromotionNotice)primaryBusinessObject;
try
{
wt.util.WTProperties props = wt.util.WTProperties.getLocalProperties();
VERBOSE = props.getProperty("wt.maturity.verbose",VERBOSE);
}
catch( Throwable t )
{
}
try
{
wt.maturity.MaturityServerHelper.service.lockTargets( pn );
result = "Accepted";
}
catch( Exception wte )
{
if ( VERBOSE )
wte.printStackTrace();
result = "Rejected"; // send notification to owner

Can someone explain to me what is PBO?
I am working on workflows and came across PBO - Primary Business Objects and could not get a proper information as to what these are.
"A workflow process is typically launched in the context of a primary business
object (PBO)" .
I am pretty new to windchill so I will need to understand this at a very basic level

Does anyone have any tips or ideas on adding that table to the task page where it used to be in 9.1?

Distribution Targets
All,
I am trying to find out a way to show only ESI Distribution targets on Part page to users like Designers or specific group.
The easiest way to do this assign group of users to ESI Author. By doing OOTB shows Distribution Targets tab under Related objects. Looks good. But we don't want to show Associate Distribution Targets and Remove actions. Assume we want to use ESI Authors, is there a way to hide those actions by just limiting display to DTs. If not any alternate solution other using ESI Authors?
I have tried creating new group and assigning Read permission on ESI Target & ESI Transaction, but the end result is same as ESI Authors path.
I am interested to know is there any other configuration steps to achieve our expected behavior.
Thanks

Work Flow Set Up Participant activity
Here is what I am planning on doing in a work flow for Deviation (Variance)
Step 1 Activity - - Step 2. Activity - "Level 1 Approvals" >> Level 1 approval activity have participant roles 1. Quality 2. Engineering 3. Manaufacturing
Routing : If every one APPROVES it goes to next activity . If any one of the user "REJECT" it goes to "rework"
So in that case if I leave the role as “required” in “Level1 Approvals” and no user is selected for that role under “Set Up Participant” task that activity will be reassigned to the “administrator/variance creator”.
I need to make sure if no users are selected for a role under “Set up Participant” task, that role should be ignored.
How can I solve this ?

Error "CAD part is not unique"
Hi,
I am getting "CAD part XYZ.prt is not unique" error while checking in a particular assembly in Windchill.
In that assembly file there is no CAD part called as "XYZ.prt".
Is there any command to identify which part /feature / layer / subassembly is taking reference from this CAD part XYZ.prt?
or is there any other solution?
Thanks,
