Re: Login Authorization Failed Error

Did you restart your browser after setting up the reverse proxy? The error that Vino shows above looks like the user was already logged into Windchill when apache's configuration was changed. Try restarting your browser and see if you can log in. If you can't authenticate after restarting your browser, then that means there's a problem with Apache's authentication configuration.

Re: How do I add additional "default" tasks to a change notice implementation plan?

Given that Templates are available in 10.2 you will want to seriously consider before implementing alternate means of doing this.  It does solve your immediate need but is addressed more cleanly at a future to you version.

 

One way that comes to mind is that you could add an expression robot to the Change Notice Workflow to add these other default/standard Change Tasks.

 

if it were me, I'd be negotiating with the stakeholders to wait until v10.2.  You may be able to use the need as leverage to upgrade sooner (there is lot's of other good stuff as well)

Hi Shreyas,

sorry for late response, I was out of town for few days.

Your answer is of course correct and I appreciate it a lot.

one more question.

 

 

Is this the same approach for the create part/document wizards ?
In this method we are overriding the JSP , is there a better way than overriding the jsp ?

Thank you for your reply.

I copied Apache folders from Windchill server to Proxy Server then edited httpd.conf file. I think that was why I was getting the error. It is better to install a new apache instead of copying one to another location.

 

I understand this was not enough for a stable solution, then I seek for Apache installation file on web and found Apache Version 2.2.25 download link from apache.org domain.

Reverse Proxy on Windchill is working stable now after installing the one I downloaded. Of course I did all the configs written in the solution I referred.

 

Thanks

You can have just a data utility to implement the suggest text box.

I don't have any manual. Just have a look at the source of following java code

 

Example with JSP:

com.ptc.carambola.tags.AutoSuggestSearchHelper

-> This one is registered

wt.services/svc/default/com.ptc.core.components.suggest.Suggestable/carambola_autosuggest_helper/null/0=com.ptc.carambola.tags.AutoSuggestSearchHelper/duplicate

 

And the JSP is under

codebase/netmarkets/jsp/carambola/customization/examples/picker/suggest.jsp

 

Example with Data Utiltiy

The Data Utility would look something like this:

 

SuggestTextBox localSuggestTextBox = new SuggestTextBox(component_id, "nameSuggestService");

localSuggestTextBox.setMinChars(2);
localSuggestTextBox.setRequired(true);
localSuggestTextBox.setColumnName(columnName);
localSuggestTextBox.setMaxResults(50);
localSuggestTextBox.setMaxLength(40);
localSuggestTextBox.setEnabled(true);
localSuggestTextBox.setWidth(40);
localSuggestTextBox.addParm("LANGUAGE", sLanguage);

if (paramModelContext.getDescriptorMode() == ComponentMode.EDIT || paramModelContext.getDescriptorMode() == ComponentMode.CREATE) {
  localSuggestTextBox.setValue(currentValue);
} else {  localSuggestTextBox.setValue(localSuggestTextBox.getParm((String) value));
}

Hi Nikita,

 

I agree with suggestion given by Mike. Set the following property to false in wt.properties to disable all the ACL's and remove the wrong permission. Once done you can reset the property.

 

wt.access.enforce

 

Let us know if that resolves your issue.

Re: How to get List of Items which created in Library Context, but now used in different Assembly's in Diffrent Context

Hi Vivek,

 

You can query parts from library one by one and check all the assemblies where it is used using PersistenceHelper.manager.navigate. Following example should help, let me know if his is useful.

 

package ext;

 

import wt.fc.ObjectIdentifier;

import wt.fc.Persistable;

import wt.fc.PersistenceHelper;

import wt.fc.QueryResult;

import wt.part.WTPart;

import wt.part.WTPartUsageLink;

import wt.util.WTException;

import wt.util.WTPropertyVetoException;

 

 

public class TestClass{

 

  public static void main(String[] args) throws WTException, WTPropertyVetoException, InterruptedException {

 

  ObjectIdentifier oid= ObjectIdentifier.newObjectIdentifier("wt.part.WTPart:281247");

  WTPart parentprt= (WTPart) PersistenceHelper.manager.refresh(oid);

 

  QueryResult links = PersistenceHelper.manager.navigate((Persistable)parentprt.getMaster(), WTPartUsageLink.USED_BY_ROLE, WTPartUsageLink.class, false );

  while (links.hasMoreElements()) {

  WTPartUsageLink object = (WTPartUsageLink) links.nextElement();

  WTPart part =(WTPart)object.getRoleAObject();

  System.out.println("Part " + parentprt.getNumber() +" is used in  part "+ part.getNumber()+" located in "+ part.getContainerName());

 

  }

  }

}

Re: Opinion of the integration PDMLink and Creo

You are not alone in struggling with the limitations of the current functionality.

 

I sympathise on the issue you mention with no UOM other than Each being supported when building Usage Links is somewhat limiting. In addition to cabling and piping this is also a similar use case for weldments and other fabrications, where the “components” are really just cut lengths of raw materials, they have a length and are never setup in any business system as unique parts.

 

In addition to the things you previously mentioned here are our main pain points:

  1. Representations/Visualisations are not handled very effectively when there are multiple EPMDocument associations to the same WTPart. This also fits with the above issue, in that there is not really a way to handle representations of different lengths of the same WTPart.
  2. The toolset for creating/editing association between EPMDocuments and WTParts is weak and pretty clunky in operation, this creates much confusion around what should be straightforward operation.
  3. The terminology for the different association types (owner, image etc) is confusing and the differences or intent of each is not clearly explained/illustrated in the user interface. E.G. if you have a WTPart with attribute values today, if you associate an EPMDocument with a build rule that will update attributes or build structure you may well modify the WTPart during the association. There is no easy way to “preview” what the changes will be, once the association is built it is surprisingly difficult to roll back.
  4. With WTDocuments you have to edit the relationships to WTParts from the WTPart, with EPMDocuments you have to do it from the EPMDocument. This is very confusing for users, who are not sure why there is any discrimination between the two document types at all. To users they are both Documents.
  5. The Compare tool that shows a split screen structure view of the WTPart and EPMDocument structures does not “prefer” a particular CAD system, this causes issues in a heterogeneous CAD environment because it will show only the owner linked CAD. For example, if I have an Assembly that is being driven (Owner associated) by a third party CAD structure, when I compare the structures between EPMDocuments and WTParts I am only interested in “my” CAD system. But if my WTPart structure uses Library parts that have an Owner association to a Creo Model and an Image association to an EPMDocument from my system, the compare screen will only show me the Creo model.
  6. The Calculated association relationship that is provided out of the box between WTParts and EPMDocuments for Drawings does not work reliably, in many circumstances it will show inaccurate and confusing information that cannot be corrected. Thankfully you can turn it off with a preference, but why it is even there is puzzling.
  7. Attribute values exchanged between EPMDocuments and WTParts can only support “numbers” not “Unit” type attributes that have a measurement system. So you can only pass “5.00” to the WTPart, but not “5.00 mm”.
  8. It is not possible to exclude or easily filter “format/frame/border” EPMDocuments from the collector or the association tool. So fairly regularly users accidentally “save as” and create new *.frm files, or mistakenly associate them to WTParts when they did not really want to be doing that.
  9. When there is a build rule between an EPMDocument and WTPart the only way to remove that is to delete the impacted iterations of both objects or delete the objects entirely. This prevents the purge tool from removing old iterations, even if both objects are candidates for purging.

 

Hopefully as a community someone reading this can direct us to any Ideas already in place for these issues, if not I will get busy creating some!

I tried this setting with high hopes......and it did NOTHING.  I'm pretty upset.

 

So, since Windburn does NOT work the way it should, the way any reasonable person would expect, and or the way it USED to work in Intralink (a far superior vaulting system), my advice is:     For everything marked as "Out of Date" in your Workspace, DELETE it, and then add it again.  A HUGE waste of time.  That's the ONLY way you can be sure of actually GETTING updated models....instead of the HAL9000 system simply telling you it's all up to date.....and it not be.  A very dangerous situation.

 

Caveat emptor....

 

Oh, and my company is thinking about implementing this disaster company-wide, and I'm going to advise them to find something else and re-migrate the data to whatever else is an option.

Re: What issues we foresee with Multiple Org implementation?

As you rightly said it is more of a business call. If you have different departments working on same category of product line, then probably group based ACL would be good enough, if your enterprise has divisions working on different product lines then Org containers make sense. So do with the workflows and LCs

 

Data sharing works great in 10.2  with multiple organization. In fact a lot of limitations with Multi Org  in 8,9 version has been fixed in 9.1 and 10.x release. You can view,share and move data between multiple organizations.(You can't move products/libraries though) . System supports principals from multiple organizations to be part of workflow/team and can be used for change.

 

One another thing you should be aware of is - Organization level uniqueness on business objects not available from 10.x onwards.

Re: Migrating Autodesk Vault Professional to PDMLink

Hello Andy,

 

this is a very good point. I now realize that all the demonstration I have seen about Unite Technology was about working with the 3D models.

 

I can imagine that Creo will open and read the idw file (not sure though as Autodesk once said to me this can only be opened by Inventor.....) but if I start making changing to the inventor 3D model using Creo, the changes may not update automatically to the 2D drawing (idw file).

 

This for sure requires testing.  This is what I told the reseller, their bidding task is bigger than autodesk because they must prove Windchill will do the job while proving the efficiency of the Inventor Integration if we stay with Inventor but also demonstrate the benefits of Creo vs the burden of changing if we come to change from Inventor to Creo.

 

The only good point in all this at the moment is that the intake of Inventor was poor (as always this was driven by engineering and expected drawings to be converted as and when they needed,  needless to say that the designers never converted any drawings, Only created new in Inventor so intake after 3 years = only 6% of our drawings are in Inventor,  so even if we have to manually convert all, that is OK, )

 

Thanks Andy

 

Bob, thanks too for your comment.
