Darren, when you link like this, are the links to Windchill WTDocuments? If so, have you found a way to link to the latest Version of the Document?
thanks

Re: Export and Import Of ACL's
Hi Lori
Do you know if PTC plan to make any improvements with regards to export and import of ACLs. These rules underpin the whole system, hence there is a very big hole in the admin tool set.
The Policy Admin tool is only good for making atomic changes. Anybody with a broader interest in ACL is pretty much obliged to create a report and analyse those rules in Excel or similar.
There is no supported way to export org and site rules (in a loadable format), and as you say the application container method is “clunky”.
The fact you can import them is a moot point if you can’t export them. As regards to creating rules externally then loading, the CSV2XML util is not particularly useful especially as it does not support dynamic roles.
We are trying to consolidate application rules at org level. I was told by tech support that I have to delete 66,000 rules one by one using the UI. Thankfully our developer has found a customized solution to that problem otherwise I would have a pretty sore finger by now.
Interested to hear your opinion.
Best Regards
Darren

Re: what is the purpose of Method server, Server Manager and LDAP Server
You can refer the Windchill Runtime Architecture topics in the Windchill Help Center. It also has a nice graphic. Excerpts from the above link:
TheWindchillserver components include the following:
- TheWindchillclient
- TheWindchillapplication server (consisting of the server manager and one or more method servers)
- An HTTP web server ( default Apache)
- A Java EE servlet container (Tomcat)
- A relational database server (Oracle or SQL)
- An LDAP server (Windchill Directory Server)
- Windchill Index Searchpowered by Solr (optional)
- A reverse proxy server (optional)
- An authentication server such as SiteMinder (optional)
The server manager has two main tasks:
- Start up and monitor the method servers
- Manage cache propagation between method servers and throughout a cluster (if you have set up a clustered environment).
To bringWindchillonline, you start the server manager. The server manager starts and registers the method servers it is to monitor.
The method servers are the core of theWindchillapplication. They manage the interactions between objects and enforces behavior and business rules.
Your Windchill server configuration can include one or more method servers.
The LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) directory server maintains user and group information forWindchillas well as internal system groups. The directory server also contains Info*Engine configuration information.
You can go throught the sub-topics in the link provided above.
Hope that helps.

Windchill Desktop Integration: Server Connection Issue
Hi,
I have just installed the Windchill Desktop Integraton tool and am trying to connect to my Windchill Server via Microsoft Office 2003. In the "Configuration" menu, I enter the server location as https://myserver.mycompany.com/Windchill/app and assign an alias, "Windchill." So far this is the same steps I would follow to register a server within the Creo 3.0 environment.
Next,when Im trying to connect it prompts me I get the error below.

Re: Windchill jars
Hi Sandeep,
You will find jars inside "<WC_HOME>\Windchill\srclib" and codebase\lib and codebase\WEB_INF\lib.

Re: Workflow Admin: Share Your Customizations & Mods (and Screenshots)
Mike,
These particular links redirect to an internal wiki site, they are not Windchill Documents. To be honest we did not even try. My preference for this type of user help documentation is to open in a separate browser tab, for convenience and the to ability quickly redirect onto different help pages.

I'm not an expert, but just have a small suggestion for you to try. I have not included the /app portion of the URL. If you remove that, does it help?

Re: Windchill jars
When you ask which jar files you need to add to run the Windchill Java program, that raises some questions/concerns.
Windchill's launch process sets up a lot of important JVM options on the command-line. This includes the classpath, but is certainly not limited to it. The classpath is logged early in the method server and server manager execution -- and clearly shows which jars used by the server processes at runtime. To actually run Windchill server processes, however, it's important to specify the correct JVM options as well.
If what you're trying to do is to have Eclipse (or any IDE for that matter) run Windchill so you can debug it, then that's really not the right approach. Instead what you want to do is to configure the Windchill server processes to listen for debugger connections and then connect the IDE's debugger to these running processes.
As for IDE compilation, that's a totally different story. You can use the jars from the classpath or you can use the much more fine-grained jars under WT_HOME/srclib.

FTAs with different Calculation Types in a single system file?
Hello everyone,
in the lifecycle of our product we have to calculate different FTAs, which are based on different calculation models (Time dependent FTAs + Lambda Tau FTAs). Unfortunately, if I calculate a FTA with a calculation model, the calculation type will be fix and cant be changed anymore to calculate the other FTAs with a different calculation model. This means for us, we have to have two system files for the same system, one with time dependent FTAs and one with Lambda Tau FTAs.
I talked to someone who worked with Relex/WQS for a long time and he said there might be a chance that I get it to work with configurations but he couldn't promise it for sure. I tried it with no success. I couldn't find anything about that in the Reference Guide either.
Is there any way to have FTAs with different calculation models in a single system file? Or can someone confirm, that there is no way to do it?
Thank You! Best wishes.

EPMdoc descriptions for drawings
Currently we have parameters (description 1 and 2) in Creo for parts and assemblies that display on the drawings and in Windchill as Attributes (description 1 and 2). Since the parameters are for the part and assembly we have not been able to get them to show for the drawing (in Windchill). Has anyone figured out a way in Windchill to grab the attributes from a part or assembly and display on the details pages for it's referenced drawing? There are many places that we use drawings (managed collections) where having a description display would help.

Re: How to set timezone in Windchill
Windchill take OS timezone.

Re: How to set timezone in Windchill
Else, on the user interface side:
Preferences > Attribute Handling > Local Time Zone (or do a find in preferences for "time zone")
for a user to change how Windchill displays the timestamps.
But with your reply, it sounds like you're talking about the timestamp data that gets entered into the database.

Re: How to set timezone in Windchill
I have found that wvs tasks contains incorrect creation time. But after changing the OS timezone all timestamps are looks correct. So in the database all timestamps have an absolute values and UI visualize them with the timezone settings.

Re: How to solve java error
It looks like you might be running into the issue from CS150425. What maintenance release of Creo 2.0 are you using? IE 11 is only supported on Creo 2.0 M100 and later. Using IE 11 with Creo 2.0 M090 and earlier can produce the same error message that you are seeing.

Re: How to login to Ms SQL Server 2008 from Windchill Shell?
To answer your second question, you can log into SQL Server from the Windchill shell (or any command prompt) by using SQL Server's built in sqlcmd utility. The syntax to log into SQL Server is:
sqlcmd -S <ServerName> -U <Username> -P <password> -d <databaseName>
To run a script, you can use:
sqlcmd -S <ServerName> -U <Username> -P <password> -d <databaseName> -i <sql script> -o <output file>
If you leave off the -o argument, the script will output its results to the shell.

Re: How to set timezone in Windchill
The database timezone is GMT.
At a TimeZone.getDefault() level, the method server is also in GMT. The reasons for this are historic dating back to the earliest Java versions.
At a WTContext.getTimeZone() level, however, the method server uses the server OS's timezone as does the server manager (at all levels).
The fact that GMT is used internally in place should not be evident from the UI, etc.

Help with Query Builder - Problem Reports NOT linked to a Change Request
Hi All,
I'm trying to use Query Builder/Report Builder to find all Problem Reports in the System that are not linked to a Change Request. I thought I was close using a Join and Formalized By which would give me the Problem Reports that do have a linked Change Request but I ended up getting some erroneous exclusions. (Problem Reports that were not included in the returns using the Join with Change Request [WTChangeRequest2] and fomralized by).
Beyond that, anyone have any guidance on how to better understand and use this capability?
Thanks!

Re: Problem using Setup Participants
If you don't want to prepopulate and have the User set by Set Up Participants then don't populate the Roles. I have found that using Roles to prepopulate and then have the User remove participants in Set Up Participants seems to work well and is understood reasonably well bu most Users.
