In assembly , many parts are created using copy geometry option and the reference copy geometry model are not available .

 

When uploading into windchill it is showing ghost(incomplete) object .

 

So , is it ok to create dummy part in the name of copy geometry model to avoid ghost object?

Re: Windchill screen jumps (Refresh Issue)

We created a new "view" and specified that it should only sort on one or two columns (i.e. by name and/or date) instead of sorting on numerous columns. The results display much quicker and the screen jumps less.  Basically there were too many sort criteria and consequently the system took too long to display all the results.

Issue is not entirely resolved, but at least it is manageable now.

Hello Community

 

Does somebody has experience to assign a role to an activity and not a teammember?

We would like to create template projects where we can define the roles on the team page and then several activity were assigned.

 

Anybody can help or has similiar topics?

 

Thanks for your response.

 

Regards,

Marc

No experience with a solution, but definitely on board with the need.  If you create a Product Idea I'll definitely vote it up.

Hi,

 

So how to change that? to connect on my new domain?

Sounds like a Monolithic system. As you are hitting the server locally it works and doesn't work from your or client machine. If that's the case then add the hostname of Windchill in Client's host file and see if that solves the purpose.

Thank you for reply. Can you show me how to do that? where to find the client's host file?.,

How to change the standards calculations

Hi,

I created my system tree in the software, but the failure rate of the assemblies in chain are sum, for example: Assembly 1-> Assembly 2

The FR of Assembly 1 is the sum of assembly 2 and the components associated to Assembly 1. But i don't want this, I need that the FR of Assembly 1 to be just the sum of the components. How can I do that?

Role based assignments are coming in Windchill 10.2 M030. When assigning resources to a Plan event (Activity or Milestone) you'll be able to chose from Windchill Group or Windchill Team Role. Activities will still only have one owner. This change is regarding resource assignment.

I spend a lot time discussing the pros and cons of these two items with FIRST teams all the time.

 

The Plan is great for a sequenced process that follows a specific order of operations which can be measured in larger blocks of time such as (1-2 weeks). Here are some of the things I really like about the Plan for structured task management.

  • Plan items are great for distributing work amongst a larger team when an activity owner is different from the assigned resources.
  • Plan items can be direclty associated with Deliverables and work items
  • Plan items can have dependencies with each other
  • Plan will calculate Critical Path based on relationships
  • Plan can be viewed in Gantt chart
  • Plan can be executed manually or automatically

 

When items are measured in smaller blocks of time, not direclty related to each other and simpler in nature, I prefer to use Action Items. Here are some of the things I really like about Action Items for more ad-hoc task management.

  • Action Items are not related to each other like Plan activities
  • Action Items can have work items directly associated with them, no Deliverables
  • Actions Items can be reviewed and edited in Excel
  • Action Items do not create resouce assignments to track work

Thanks for your reply.

 

By default upload operation set to no.

You need to run them on the Oracle database machine.

 

Example:

 

C:\>sqplus {wc_schema_username}/{wc_schema_user_pw}@{Windchill_SID} @{Path_to_SQLScript}

 

C:\>sqlplus guest/guest@wind @c:\temp\wc7_find_download_caddocs_cadfilename.sql

 

When prompted you would need to specify the filename of the CAD Doc.

Re: Display Windchill documentation at the Shopfloor

The reply of Mike is not the solution I am looking for. Windchill is not very practical for use at the shopfloor. A very simple big buttons interface is required, barcode enabled. Windchill is not supporting this out of the box. We are still looking for a pragmatic solution.

By not active domain, do you mean a domain name that is not registered with a domain name registrar? If so, then yes, Windchill will still work. But, you'll need to configure the server and any clients to resolve the name to the Windchill server's IP address.

Copying a VM with a simple Windchill server already installed.

Hi all,

 

I already have a Windchill instance installed on a standalone VM.  the VM contains the Windchill server, PDMLink and the SQL Server database.  In order to make my copy, I shut everything down on my source Windchill instance, and made a copy of the VM.  I think used the "Windchill Rehost Guide" to reconfigure the new server with it's new server name.  I refered to the section called "Changing the hostname in an Existing Windchill Solution."

 

The commands themselves seemed fairly straight forward. I did the following steps:

  1. I'm not using Vaulting or Replication, so I skipped that. 
  2. My server is not connected to LDAP, so I skipped that step as well.
  3. I followed the command to update the Apache server
  4. I updated the Database as instructed
  5. I updated the Repisitory table on target database. I did the first part that updated the hostname for the local Repisitory. but the second part with refered to the LDAP servers and Info*Engine I skipped this to.
  6. Next I updated the Database connection configuration.  Specifically the Hostname.  the way I saw it, nothing else had to change.
  7. The next step was attempting to bring up the Windchill server.  For what ever reason, I cannot login to the Windchill server, I receive the following error message:

"The system is not available. There could be a server error or your credentials could be invalid or expired (for example, you may have entered the wrong password or your account may be locked). Contact your help desk or administrator for assistance."

    

I have tried both my administrator account as well as student account I created on the original server, none seem to work. Anyone have any ideas where I should look next?

 

Regards.

 

 

 

 

Steve
