Windchill 11 - MPMLink MBOM Copy functionality

January 25, 2017, 1:01 am

Whether MPMLink provides functionality to copy MBOM created for "Plant A" to create "Plant B" MBOM ?

 

Scenario: Created EBOM and transformed it to MBOM for Plant A. Restructured the MBOM. Trying to copy the "Plant A" MBOM to created "Plant B" MBOM for the same EBOM and to maintain the associativity.

 

Tried the following options,

 

(1) Save As "Plant A" MBOM - It created new MBOM for "Plant B" but with new Part Number. Associative links were not established with the older EBOM.

(2) Duplicate "Plant A" MBOM - Created new MBOM for "Plant B" but with new Parent Part Number, associative links was established with the older EBOM (Parent) but MBOM transformation was not propagated to Children.

 

Requirement is to just create new "Plant B" view by copying "Plant A" MBOM.

How to set a URL attribute of WTPartUsageLink?

Hi,

 

I have a soft attribute (URL) for WTPartUsageLink called LabelControl.

 

Under the Uses tab of Structure tab of a WTPart, I want to be able to set a URL based on the label entered in the URL Label  field.

 

The label will be the name of a WTDocument in Windchill and the URL is the details page of the WTDocument.

 

I have tried to give the label and the URL using the following code, but the value of the attribute is not reflecting:

 

     WTPartUsageLink usageLink = WTPartUsageLink.newWTPartUsageLink(part, part.getMaster());

     part = (WTPart) WorkInProgressHelper.service.checkout(part, WorkInProgressHelper.service.getCheckoutFolder(), "").getWorkingCopy();

     PersistableAdapter obj = new PersistableAdapter(usageLink, null, Locale.US, new UpdateOperationIdentifier());

     obj.load("LabelControl");

     String url = getDetailsURL(doc); //gets the url of the WTDocument

     Hyperlink link = new Hyperlink(url, label);

     obj.set("LabelControl", link);

     obj.apply();

     PersistenceHelper.manager.modify(usageLink);

     WorkInProgressHelper.service.checkin(part,"success part");

 

How do I do this?

 

Thanks in advance.

Migrating intralink 3.4 data to Windchill 10.2

Recently we acquired a company that had a large amount of Intralink 3.4 data and now I am tasked with trying to ingest it all into one platform which is our production Windchill 10.2 environment with oracle back end DB. Due to the physical server hosting the Intralink 3.4 instances being at a remote facility, we have installed on a separate workstation Wildfire 2.0/Intralink 3.4 to try and connect over the wire to the common space files stored on the off-prem server. Utilizing a known good username and password this is the error we are receiving on the client side: PDMc_GenericDatabase::LoadActnCodeAndActnNameMaps when trying to login to the off-prem 3.4 intralink server.

 

we have also turned off:

1. all antivirus software.

2. Windows firewalls

3. Ping times between each are stable and consistant

4. no ports are being blocked on the networking side outbound or inbound.

 

Thanks in advance,

Open PDF NOT in Creo View from Windchill

January 25, 2017, 6:34 am

Is there any way to open PDF's directly into a PDF viewer (like Adobe/Acrobat Reader) instead of Creo View when using the Windchill search results? Creo View opens the PDF with Acrobat Reader embedded within Creo View which has caused software compatibility issues as Acrobat Reader continues to be updated. Then we're left updating Creo View to work with the latest until Acrobat Reader gets updated again. This has happened twice in the last year and packaging software through our IT can take several weeks/months. I'd like to get out of the annoying compatibility cycle and just open the PDF directly without Creo View. I have seen no advantage to opening PDF's in Creo View yet with disadvantages including having less screen space to view the drawing and software compatibility issues. Creo View works pretty well for 3D but has no real use when looking at PDFs.

 

We're using Windchill 10.1 M040 currently but are hoping to go to Windchill 11 later this year if there's a solution in a later version of Windchill.

External Enumerated Value List and NmCommandBean

Hello.

 

I am working on a customization.

I have my external enumerated value list customization on which I  pass a string as parameter (from the type and attribute management) to find a specific context.

This works fine, however I'd like to pass to the parameter, the context gathered from the "create window" via NmCommandBean.

Is this even possible?

I know I can get the context from a datautility, maybe is it possible to pass it to the external enumerated class?

 

Thank you for your help.

Hi all,

 

Is there any mechanism that allows suppliers to get access to only "Supplier" contexts and nothing else in Windchill?

The purpose is to allow access to only "Vendor Parts" that is tagged to the supplier. This is needed to share "Released" Parts, documents, drawings and the necessary information to manufacture the part  , this may vary between suppliers.

 

Thanks & Regards

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.

WGM woes with Windchill External access

Hi all,

 

We have our internet gateway for all the access of several inhouse applications that can run on a browser.

Windchill is one of them. We use PDMLink 10.2

 

But the strange thing is that the login screen is not presented in WGM and DTI, because of the authentication requested by the internet gateway before the client can hit the windchill server.

 

Has anyone faced these kind of issues?

How to edit the PTC banner?

I'm sure this is not the first time this is asked, but last time I searched I couldn't find relevant topics... maybe it's too obvious 

 

So, it would be nice to edit the top banner text "PTC Windchill" to include, for example, info that you're in production environment and also change the colour to something else than dark blue again to differentiate the environments. Having no skills when it comes to web pages I'd need a starting point, though I was able to find the file containing the text "PTC Windchill". How do you edit the colour?

External designers access via ProjectLink, how would you set it up?

December 7, 2016, 12:57 am

You could tell from the topic that I’m fairly new to ProjectLink…

 

I’ve read the old doc (we’re on 10.2 M030) “Integral Operations Between Windchill PDMLink and Windchill ProjectLink”, ploughed through topics on this forum, tested ACL, but it all don’t quite come together.

 

The scenario is not new. There’s a requirement that external designers (contractors) access CAD-data and Parts via ProjectLink. To make it more simple for own users we’re going to have only one product context in PDMLink. Some of the externals should be limited with what they see in PDMLink, others probably could see all. If possible, externals could be allowed to work on Released / Approved content ie. revise, but since Modify rights are required in PDMLink to be able to work on items shared to ProjectLink this does not seem like an option.

 

How do you set it all up? How to limit what they see in PDMLink?

How to remove subscriptions of Deactivated Users?

We have few users who had subscribed for many objects events like check-out, check-in, State change,....etc. to get email notifications for the changes.

Now they no more works with organization and their account get deactivated in Active Directory. Windchill server is not able to send an email to those users for this events, so site admin getting email failure notifications.

 

I am looking for some way to remove this subscriptions from the system for that specific user, as its very unpractical to go each and every objects and unsubscribe there.

 

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Gurus,
  Can you tell me how I can set the default values for the OOTB WTPart attributes (Standard or Configurable, Create as End Item, Assembly Mode, etc.)? I thought this could be done with an OIR or by setting the default value in the resource bundles but it doesn't seem to be working. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Examples of Part "References Document" and Part "Described by" document

Hi all,

 

This is a fairly discussed topic, but I don't see good documentation and examples in PTC help on what is recommended for what type of documents.

 

Iam looking for examples on in what cases we should use the link "References Document" and in what cases we should use "Described by" document.

 

Recommended option for scenarios A,B,C and recommended option for Scenarios D, E ,F.

 

I see that usage of "References Document" is OOTB restricted to documents under the type "Reference Documents", but this could be overridden by a preference.

 

FYI. We are in WC 11.0 are getting close to working part centric.

 

Thanks!

MPMLink - MAPSB - Equivalence Links to Self

When transforming a eBOM to an mBOM, we have been duplicating without propagating child design parts (basically quick copy / paste).  We have noticed that there are links created between a design part in eBOM and the as-is design part in the mBOM.  The preference Allow Creation of Equivalence Link to Self controls this and the default is yes.....can anyone explain the pros and cons of leaving this yes or changing to no.  My gut tells me that we should just leave alone.....but I at least want to know why.  What would be the use case for both?

anyone knows the steps to migrate to INTRALINK 3.4 M070 PTC Windchill PDM Essentials (Windchill PDMLink 10.2 M030-CPS20)

it comes to pass from one Oracle database to SQL

a consultant told me that you have to extract individual files from INTRALINK and then reinsert
but it would be too long to work and I can not believe

I understand that this is a forum and not the assistance, but maybe someone has already done this enterprise
and can give me a hint
