I'm also very interested!
Re: Windchill MS Office Worker question
Re: Is Info*Engine included under a Windchill license, or is it a seperate purchase?
It would seem so. It seems like additional licensing is only required if Windchill is extracting data directly from another system or the other system is directly requesting data from Windchill. Using Windchill to extract data automatically and then leave it somewhere in read-only form, even if consumed by another system, seems to be allowed.
From the Licensing Basis Document:
Integrations. If the Customer creates an interface or otherwise enables access between a Windchill implementation and a non-PTC system, then Customer must purchase one Windchill External Server Access Registered User License for each of Customer’s Windchill Registered User Licenses within that Windchill implementation.
PDM Essentials (Probably more restrictive than Windchill)
Customer is not allowed to use Windchill Info*Engine with Windchill PDM Essentials except in the following cases:
- Use of the JNDI adapter is allowed to enable directory services integrations such as with Microsoft Active Directory. No other Info*Engine adaptors may be used.
- Use of Info*Engine queries and tasks to export data for read-only use in external systems (such as in ERP or MRP systems) is allowed. The ESI and ERP integrations may not be used and bi-directional integration with any external system other than a directory service may not be created.
Re: Searching for WTPartDescribeLinks
Got it sorted now, thanks guys.
I used,
QueryResult qrLink = wt.part.WTPartHelper.service.getDescribedByWTDocuments(checkedOutPart, false);
Also the null pointer exception was due to a variable in the wrong place (inside a loop).
Re: Relationship Explorer
Lori - can you post a response to the question above?
Our ability to leverage the Relationship Explorer is limited by the list of applicable objects and relationship types.
For example we have a "Configured Link" between a special document (link owner) and the Part. Relationship Explorer doesn't currently allow us to see or navigate those links.
Is there a roadmap for this capabilities? I think supporting "Configured" links would be valuable as otherwise it can only be the "Partial Relationship Explorer" , at least for my company at this point in time

What will you do when Microsoft ends support for IE9?
We are currently running Windchill 10.1 M040 and Creo Elements/Pro 5.0 M200 on Windows 7 machines. The company would like to upgrade to the IE11, however with our configuration, the highest IE version we can use and still be supported by PTC is IE 9 (limited by Pro). Of course the problem with IE 9 is that Microsoft is ending support in January.
PTC’s stance is upgrade.
We have plans to upgrade, but not before the January deadline. We could also use Mozilla/Chrome, but our company prefers IE as the default browser and distributing SSL certs is a pain when using Mozilla as the internal Pro browser. We could try IE Enterprise Mode, which is supposed to work like compatibility mode I guess, but PTC doesn’t support it. I think we'll probably end up going down the Mozilla route as it is actually supported by PTC.
Anyone else in the same boat? If you are, what is your company’s solution?
How do I add additional "default" tasks to a change notice implementation plan?
Hey,
I have been asked to add a couple of tasks to the Change Notice Implementation Plan so that they are there for every new change notice... I will have to admit I am not sure on how to proceed... Anyone done this before have some advice?

Re: API for Windchill User Login Event
Abdul,
A few observations after running it for a little while today...
- It does indeed "re-login" a few times through the day. The Windchill server kept running, and the code was triggered 3 times. But the user never restarted the browser. He was in the same session. (10:40 AM, 11:16 AM, 1:17 PM)
- Somehow, it is being triggered even without the user logging into Windchill. For example, I restarted the server, but never refreshed my browser page or anything. I was busy doing other things. But during that time, my name was printed to the MS log.
FYI...Here are my current modifications to wt.session.SessionUserAuditEvent:
public SessionUserAuditEvent(String paramString, WTPrincipalReference paramWTPrincipalReference, long paramLong, int paramInt) { super(paramString); this.event = paramString; this.user = paramWTPrincipalReference; this.time = paramLong; this.concurrency = paramInt; // START ADDITION System.out.println("\n\n\n"); System.out.println("Login event for " + user.getIdentity()); System.out.println("\n\n\n"); // END ADDITION }

The CS - https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS168927 tells us that there could not be multiple default Change Tasks/

Re: How to use Purge, Archive and Restore functinality?
What kinds of errors are you running into when you attempt to purge?
Purge functionality can be very finicky--especially if you are purging data that has relationships with other data.
For example, if you purge a CAD Document that is associated with a WTPart then the associated WTPart may need to be included in the purge. Likewise, if you purge an instance of a family table, related family table objects will also need to be purged at the same time.
To make matters even more tricky, purging is performed in chunks, set by the Preference Management > Purge, Archive, Restore > Chunk Size Purge preference. If any objects fail to purge within the chunk then nothing in that chunk will get purged. If all dependent objects are not included within a particular chunk then the purge of that chunk will fail--there is no way to configure the chunks so that related data will be included within them. It can be very much a trial and error process to get the purge criteria and the purge chunk size right to get the data to purge successfully.
Some helpful articles:

Unable to remove user in Windchill
Hi All,
Good Day To You..
I've removed Windchill existing user normaly. But, still that user is existing in products context. I've checked in LDAP, where no such user was observed.
But, from SQL Server, by executing a query, I've found that user from WTUser table.
I need your help for permanently remove that user.
Thanks And Regards

Re: Unable to remove user in Windchill
Hi Krishna,
Apart from your question, do you think it's a good practice to remove a user from Windchill? I never do that. I deactivate them, but don't remove.
