Thanks Vino,
I'll give that a try. Am I reading correctly in that argTypes[] and argValues[] are empty Vectors?
Thanks!

How to report on Promotion Request Discussion topics?
I'm having a tough time linking the Discussion Forum to the subject (promotion request). Does anyone perhaps know which tables to pull in QueryBuilder and the join?

Re: Search by Folder Name type in Windchill
Pretty sure that you can directly search for a subFolder (location).
I created a query builder report that returns all folders by context (was a bit of a trick).
Can likely extend it to add documents and allow the user to enter needed document criteria.

Re: Expiry Date alert for Documents
Using available OOTB functionality, I could see a sub-type WTDocument with an Advanced Lifecycle and Workflow attached. The Workflow for the State in question could hvae a timer that evaluates expiry date against current date and any offset specified and generate a Workflow Task to a responsible Role to refresh and resubmit.
Would require some minor Java code in the Workflow to access IBA's on your WTDocument and to do Date math.
The thing that I am unable to speak to is performance implact with a bunch of documents with running workflows with timers embedded. But with this apprach there is no deep customization.
The better solution would be one developed by PTC that you could schedule like publishing to evaluate Document Obejcts for expiry and take some form of action or generate a report.
Effectivity (Effective Date) ties in more to the front end... i.e. when a Document should be available for use and start being used

Re: "CAD part is not unique"
I have discussed with Windchill implementation team they have told they are developing toolkit & j-link to solve this issue ?
I have no idea about toolkit & j-link ,if some one knows pls explain ?

Re: Search by Folder Name type in Windchill
Mike,
I looked in the advanced search and didn't see any choice for folder, subfolder or location under type. Not sure that you can search for a folder from what I see...
Maybe I am looking in the wrong spot. (Wouldn't be the first time... not even the first time today! ha!)

Oops - I meant to type before ....pretty sure that you can NOT search by subFolder.

Re: what is the difference between product and library in windchill pdmlink
If there was no difference then why would you need the others?
I can put parts I want to be read-only in a library and the general user population cannot chnage them. Easier than doing it with ACLs and group access rights to a folder under product.

Re: what is the difference between product and library in windchill pdmlink
So in the proposed scenario you would just enable it to be read only in the options. Put the ability to configure the system for specific business needs in the hands of the administrators of the system, and not the programmers of the software.
Set up a "Library" template for your company to use. But it would just be a set of configuration settings, set the way your company wants a "Library" to behave. We should be able to do the same for Products and Projects too. The underlying technology is the same for all three, it is just the label and the settings that are different. Settings and labels that should be able to be changed at any time.

Re: "CAD part is not unique"
Toolkit and J-Link are APIs. These are software descriptions of how Creo works. I think Toolkit is for the C programming language and I am certain that J-Link is for the Java programming language.
You need to ask the Windchill implementation team what the software they are writing is for.
Who does the Windchill implementation team work for?

PTCs System Monitoring and Java Runtime Environment 64-bit
All,
For a while I have been struggling with the fact that PSM client.jnlp will only work with the 32 bit version of the Java JRE.
Recently JRE 1.7 update 71 came out and the client.jnlp will no longer start up and run.
I use a 64-bit HP workstation and load both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions of the JRE routinely.
I contacted PTC tech support and they inform me that their PSM client in certified for Jave 1.6 32-bit. So we went through a lot of trial and error to get it to use the latest Java 1.7 update 71. Nothing would get it to work, so on my one I started the arduous troubleshooting process:
I did some testing and found the following:
I uninstalled all Java from the computer and rebooted.
I installed JRE 1.6_38 32-bit
Ran PTC’s PMS client.jnlp and it worked fine.
I installed JRE 1.7_55 32-bit
Ran PTC’s PMS client.jnlp and it worked fine.
I installed JRE 1.7_65 32-bit
Ran PTC’s PMS client.jnlp and it worked fine.
I installed JRE 1.7_67 32-bit
Ran PTC’s PMS client.jnlp and it worked fine.
I installed JRE 1.7_71 32-bit
Ran PTC’s PMS client.jnlp and it will not run.
I uninstalled JRE 1.7_71 32-bit and reinstalled JRE 1.7_67 32-bit and 64-bit
I ran PTC’s PMS client.jnlp and it worked fine with the 32 bit version.
Apparently there is something in the JRE 1.7_71 which will not allow the PMS client to run.
Has anyone else run into this issue? What was your resolution?
Our IT people request that we use the latest Java versions for security reasons.
The fact that commonly used applications are not compatible with the software that is trying to plug the security holes is not acceptable. Am I wrong?
Respectfully

How to create a soft type for CAD Document?

Can anybody tell me how to create a soft type for CAD document so that it can appear in drop down list under option 'Type' while creating a new CAD document?

Re: SQL Server Error
The transaction log will continue to grow until it is backed up or until it reaches the limit set for it or all the space on the disk. You need to take a full backup of both the database and the transaction log file on a regular basis. You can view the current size by looking at the folder the log is in. You can view the max allowed size by using SQL Server Management Studio. If you have the disk space, you can probably just increase the size limit for now to get things going again. (You may need to restart SQL Server.)

Opinion of the integration PDMLink and Creo
I love both tools PDMLink and Creo. The basic interface works. But by now I would expect some real new features from PTC. I still can't belief why these two major programs of PTC can't get a better and deeper interface. The following examples show my considerations:
This includes that if a new CAD-Document is being created in Creo by the File->New Dialog, all the attributes are automatically being pulled from PDM. So the Material, the values of enumerations etc. are being managed in one single system.
This will also address the idea
Having a single "Material" Business Object in Windchill
Revising
If an engineer revises the CAD-Document there is no help to collect the Drawing or the WTPart. Instead of the Creo Dialog it should show the PDMLink collector dialog. Otherwise the user needs to revise the WTPart by itself.
Also it should be possible to revise CAD-Documents only if the user connects it directly to a change task. Otherwise he needs to do it before or afterwards. The dialog should show all the open change tasks like on the user homepage.
Revise released objects only with a connected Change Notice
Cabling or Piping
It should be possible to transfer the length to the BOM insted only the quantity "each". Most smaller companies don't have a WTPart for each cable. They have a single WTPart for the complete cable reel and will cut them for each length by theme self.
....
I haven't yeat created a new idea because there are already many around. What are your thought's about that? Are you happy with the current compilation?
Since Creo and PDMLink are the "Main Products" of PTC, I would really expect more and a further development of these two products.
For me, the development of these two products are still far away from my expectations. Since three years I can't really tell, what new features are being showed. I still belief the development is being done by two different teams which don't talk with each other...
Thanks

Re: Opinion of the integration PDMLink and Creo
Agree with you
Still thought that for some features, Windchill/Catia V5 integration is better than Windchill/Creo ... may be except now the "Option and Variant" Creo 3 integration ....
I assume because maybe there's more big customers with Catia/Windchill
than proE/WIndchill customers which may be comes mainly from Intralink ....
and agree with the fact that
Creo and Windchill product management does not talk each other .....
CAD methology or use cases are not the same in the context of a PLM wide Entreprise integration, that in a strict CAD PDM vaulting. And think that ProE does not take care of that enough ...
