Physical Windchill server conversion to Virtual is not working

≪ Previous: Is it possible to export and import a process plan with operations out of and into Windchill

Hi Everyone,

I virtualized a physical Windchill server and added the VM to my Hyper-V environment.

When I try to access Windchill on the VM, I get prompt for a username and password. Once I submit my credentials, I get the dreaded "503 Service unavailable".

I can see that the PTC HTTP and PTC Windchill services has started.

Where else should I look to resolve this error?

Thanks in advance.

Windchill "Updates" table will only display 1 row (but only for 1 user)

≪ Previous: Physical Windchill server conversion to Virtual is not working

We have a single user whose Updates table on the WC home screen will only display a single row. If he creates a new object (such as a Change Request), the existing row object disappears and the new item takes its place.

All other users see multiple rows of updated objects, and this problem is not just local to his PC. It follows to wherever he logs in.

I have never seen this and don't have any good ideas on the possible cause.

Any thoughts?

≪ Previous: Windchill "Updates" table will only display 1 row (but only for 1 user)

Hello,

We have a set of WTPart part number. We are unable to load them in Windchill as it gives an error message of "Uniqueness"; neither we can find (search) them in Windchill, so that we can delete the set and reload them or modify them.

These WTPart part numbers were loaded in Windchill earlier as NLAG file type. Later the file try was changed to ZKIT file type. Once the file type was changed, the part numbers were vanished from the system. I am able to view the details through SQL query, but unable to locate them in Windchill and delete them.

We change the part type with the process that are listed in the document number CS7287 (https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS7287&posno=1&q=ChangeTypeSql&source=search).

Please review and suggest.

Thanks,

Yogesh

≪ Previous: Customization using GWT and gxt libraries

I know I have done this before when we modified Windchill to accept the xml formatted Office documents, but I cannot remember what I modified or how I did it.

I searched the Windchill 10.0 Customization guide, but nothing hit me as to what this customization is.

Where in Windchill are the file extensions set for document types that can be uploaded? We have Excel macro driven file that has a .xlsm extension and it is giving us problems uploading. At one point in the past, I modified some file to allow the .docx, .xlsx, .pptx and maybe some other MS Office extensions.

Does Windchill support the .xlsm format?

an someone point me to the right utility and/or files(s) that need to be modified for this?

Anyone have the simple solution to this error? I am running PSI as root and have full rights to the staging directory. As soon as I click on begin install, I get the error about javasdk can't continue and it stops right there. The interesting thing is that I installed Windchill 11 on another clone of the server without getting this error. From what I read, it could be a rights issue somewhere, but I am running this as root. Anyone have any ideas on what to look for? Thanks in advance!

My organization is currently in the process of deploying a Windchill 11 environment. Are there any preferred and supported solutions for archiving vault data as we are expecting a large data store of around 50 + TB

Any suggestions would be greatly apprecated

How to get BOM or Product structure externally using Info Engine API?

January 9, 2017, 12:39 pm

≫ Next: Was Windchill 11.0 M020 partially retracted?

≪ Previous: Vault Archiving

I'm new to Windchill and Info Engine.

Here is where I am at in my learning process:

- I have been able to run the default tasks that I found on this WSDL (<host>/Windchill/servlet/SimpleTaskDispatcher?CLASS=com.ptc.windchill.ws&VERSION=1.1&STYLE=document) using SOAP.

- I am also able to create tasks using the Info Engine Task Editor and then run them externally with a http request.

I'm trying to query a product structure externally based on some user input (product name). I need each parts' structure level, number, name, version, quantity and unit.

Ideally i would prefer not having to modify the server at all and use only out of the box tasks, but can modify if necessary.

Looking through the documentation I found the following task that looks like it is exactly what i'm looking for.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Multilevel_BOM_Report

com.infoengine.connector.Group Multilevel_BOM_Report (String partOid, String locale, String hostName, String sessionId, String moduleName, String ncId)

Queries for a product structure and returns a multi-level Bill of Materials. {resourceBundle: com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.reports.bomReportsRB}

Parameters:

partOid - Specifies the top level part object Id.

locale - Specifies the locale.

hostName - Specifies the host name.

sessionId - Specifies the session Id.

moduleName -

ncId -

Returns:{columns: java.lang.String level, java.lang.String indent, java.lang.String image, java.lang.String numberURL, java.lang.String Number, java.lang.String Version, java.lang.String Name, java.lang.String orgName, java.lang.String usedLineNumber, java.lang.String usedFindNumber, java.lang.String quantityAmount, java.lang.String quantityUnit, java.lang.String State, java.lang.String refDesignator, java.lang.String orgIdLabel, java.lang.String orgIdRef, java.lang.String recursivePath[4000], java.lang.String recursiveMark, java.lang.String recursive}

Task:

/com/ptc/windchill/enterprise/reports/WBRMultiLevelBOM.xml

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

My problem is, i'm not sure how to call this externally. Is there a WSDL that includes this? If so how do i find it?

I tried:

<host>/Windchill/servlet/SimpleTaskDispatcher?CLASS=com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.report.ReportTask&STYLE=document&VERSION=1.1

but that returns an empty xml document. I also can't find the URL to call it with a direct http request.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Was Windchill 11.0 M020 partially retracted?

≫ Next: SUMMARY Dynamically Set Workflow Activity

≪ Previous: How to get BOM or Product structure externally using Info Engine API?

Back in early December, I downloaded all of the installation media that was available for WC 11.0 M020, and when I look at the list of available media today, 1/13/2017, the Service Pack download for M020 is not listed. Even the webpage with the list of available software updates is missing the Service Pack listing despite the other M020 components being available.

Is this on purpose to prevent installation of M020 or is this some "glitch" in the downloads site?

≫ Next: With Windchill destop integration - how do you open Information Structures of containers?

≪ Previous: Was Windchill 11.0 M020 partially retracted?

Adding summary:

Dynamic Activity Name (Activity Transition)
//Get the Activity
wt.workflow.engine.WfActivity myActivity = (wt.workflow.engine.WfActivity)self.getObject();
//Modify the Activity
myActivity.setName ("Work Order - " + task1Name); //task1Name is a String
//Save the Activity
myActivity = (wt.workflow.engine.WfActivity) wt.fc.PersistenceHelper.manager.save(myActivity);

Dynamic Activity Instructions
Add your String variable to the activity task instructions. Enclose the variable in curly braces.
{task1Instructions}

Dynamic Activity Participants (WFExpression)
if (task1User != null) //task1User is a wt.org.WTUser variable
{
//SET TEAM
wt.team.Team team = (wt.team.Team)((wt.team.TeamManaged)(self.getObject())).getTeamId().getObject();
//SET THE ROLES
wt.project.Role teamRole = wt.project.Role.toRole("TASK OWNER 1");
//REMOVE THE CURRENT PARTICIPANT
wt.org.WTPrincipal removeUser = null;
wt.team.TeamHelper.service.deleteRolePrincipalMap( teamRole,removeUser,team);
//ADD THE PARTICIPANTS TO THE TO_ROLES
wt.team.TeamHelper.service.addRolePrincipalMap( teamRole, task1User, team );
}

Dynamic Activity Due Date
Create and set a wt.workflow.engine.WfDueDate variable from a preceding task or from code.
Add the wt.workflow.engine.WfDueDate variable to the appropriate task as visible, required and read set to false. Set resettable to true.

Hope this helps,
