I am not aware of a way to do something exactly like you're asking at the org or site level. I haven't found a way to be able to check which container the objects are going in to so that you can then customize from there which folders to use within them. This would need to be set up at the product/library/project level.

Nope - never went back to try to use this OTB group.

Re: View and Print Only Group
On our test server I added one user to the group but it doesn't show up in that tab under Usage and License Reporting for some reason. I don't know why it's not showing that user.

Re: Remove the product from recently add or from browse product icon ?
If you are not talking about removing specific products from the recently visited list, but any product then you may be able to use the "Recently Visited Contexts List Size Per Type" and "Recently Visited List Size" preferences in Preference Management under the Display category to control this. These preferences determine how many objects are displayed under the Recently Visited and Recent Products(Libraries/Projects) lists.

Re: View and Print Only Group
I am using this group on Windchill 10.2 M030 and it's working fine. At the moment I have one test user and one Active Directory group added to it.
The Active Directory group contains both user and other groups and goes several levels deep. All of these users are being correctly resolved by the Usage and License Reporting tool.
This report only gets recalculated every so often (once per day???), so you won't see changes immediately.
There were a couple of times where I removed someone from a group and the change didn't show up immediately. Typically a "Recompute group" command, or (worse case) a server restart takes care of the issue.

Re: View and Print Only Group
Thank you for the info. I just tried the recompute but it didn't update it. Not a big deal. I might have to try and restart WC.

Can we promote multiple files (i.e.specifications or parts) in windchill? If yes, please suggest.
Can we promote multiple files (i.e.specifications or parts) at single time in windchill? If yes, please explain the procedure.

Re: Search not working
Are you telling us or asking something? If you are asking something then you need to provide a lot more detail.

Re: Search not working
Hello John
you mean to say when you search for any part ,you are not finding any results ?
make sure you have access to the product to which the part/object belongs to .
Give us few more details so that we can try to help you

Re: Designated Attribute issue
Hello krishnamoorthy C
Even i came across with the similar situation few moths back
When tried the check in the part ,user was getting the Warning the "Incoming attributes MP_DENSITY is ignored as they are not the part of type definition"
and you will find this under the alternate mass properties in creo 2 , go to tools>parameters ,change the type from main to alternate mass properties . and this parameter is not defined in the global attributes in the windchill .
In our Company we manage both PDM and PLM in the different servers , The parameter MP_DENSITY is calculated in the creo/pro e base on the material that we assigned or if we specified and value for the density . This parameter is not required, Since There is an another attributes called SE_DENSITY is the main parameter which is required to calculate the mass of the part . This density value will come from the another database .
Please check the warning message that you are getting for the attributes is existing in the alternate mass properties or not .and if it is designating automatically on checkin.

Re: Change Notice Attachments
Java applet for file upload exists in 10.2 M10 and lower. If you upgraded to higher version, then it should not exist there.

Re: Change Notice Attachments
Do you have this documented somewhere? I just tested in my 10.2 M030 system and I am able to see the Drag and Drop icon in my New Change Notice > Set Attachments screen if the Attachments > File Upload Mechanism preference is set to use Java applets:
The 10.2 M030 "Content Management" WHC topic also still mentions the availability of being able to use Java applets for the file upload mechanism: http://www.ptc.com/cs/help/windchill_hc/wc102_hc/index.jspx?id=AttachmentDownloadUploadPrefRef&action=show
Also, I came across this article, which addresses the currently known plans for handling Java applets within Windchill:

Re: Replication Server Sizing
The Windchill Hardware Sizing Guide contains a section at near the end titled "Sizing a Windchill File Server", which gives recommendations for replication servers. The recommendation for 10.2 is 2 CPU cores and 8GB of memory.
Though, like Tom said, replication servers do very little processing. All user requests are still handled by the master site. When a user performs an upload/download, the master site first figures out which site should be used and redirects the upload/download to that site. The replication site then only handles the actual transfer of the file, which doesn't require much processing power or memory.

Re: List of all disabled/expired user account
Query builder will only query the Windchill database. The Windchill DB doesn't store information on whether LDAP accounts are disabled/expired. All the Windchill DB stores is the Disabled column on the WTUser table that you show above, which indicates that a user has been deleted from Windchill. In order to get a list of disabled/expired LDAP accounts, you will need to query the LDAP.

Re: Single Sign-On for Windchill with Apache, Shibboleth, and ADFS - Has Anyone Done This Before?
Hello Bob, Kumar.
Note
ust an update that a colleague and I implemented mod_auth_sspi in Apache. This module support Single Sign on using NTLM.
It was working in Testing for IE (In Intranet Zone); Mozilla when Trusted; And Creo Parametric when homepage starts by pointing at Windchill as Default Page. As well as DTI. (Left to test is WGM and Cad Worker Publishing). Also it is using our Group Filter in AD to properly determine if a user can Log into Windchill.
Unfortunately we have Users in AD as well as WindchillDS.
Researching the internet shows that the SSPI Module can only point at one domain (i.e Active Directory) and not multiple Authentication Sources with Apache 2.2 (which Windchill Uses). We did internet research that shows this was a change in behavior for Apache from Apache 2.1 to 2.2 for Security Reasons and no settings support Multiple AuthTypes for a Single Location. Online Workarounds suggest pointing to two different URLs with One Authenticating to SSPI and one Authenticating to Basic, however all Windchill addresses point to /Windchill and we do not believe we could easily create an alias address for a sub set of users.
This Means while very easy to set up mod_auth_sspi
- All Users must be in Active Directory to use SSO with Apache. (So Administrative and External Users need a User in AD)
- Windchill will not look at WindchillDS for Users.
Question: Does your Solution with a Shibboleth Module allow you to Authenticate against Multiple Authentication Types? Meaning if your Operating System user is not in the Primary SSO AD, then the Login Prompt would appear, allowing you to enter a User/Password in a Secondary location like WIndchillDS?
Seem to be stuck between Basic Authentication which allows Multiple entries (LDAP AD, WindchillDS Adminstrative, WindchillDS Enterprise, or Multiple other LDAP ADs from other Divisions) and Single Sign On with SSPI that only allows a Single Choice.

Re: Cad Document to Part Compare
Brian
The most common reasons for this in my experience
- The part structure was initially built with no associated CAD. The build status has to be EXCLUDED as there is no owner linked CAD which can pass build information. If you later associate a CAD Document to these parts in structure, the build status will remain EXCLUDED, even if the owner link is used. In fact, any additions to usage in the parent part which are manually created, will result in the included part having a build status EXCLUDED, even if that part already has an owner linked CAD model. You have to change the “set for build” to “build” then perform a build action.
- Finally, you can of course switch the "set for build" status of a part which is already build to "do not build". After a build operation is performed on the parent part the build status will change to EXCLUDED.
I suspect if you change the build status of the parts to “build” and perform a build operation on the parent part they will appear in structure, assuming there is owner linked to CAD assembly. Ensure the parent part on which the build operation is performed is not in a locked state. Building can result in a change to the part “uses” table (the list of assembly members). This change has to be stored in a new version of the part. If you manually trigger a build you must also manually check-in that change. If you check-in the CAD assembly, it will also iterate the associated part. A single level build operation is normally automatically performed in this case.
After performing a single level build the compare window may have a warning on the child parts “never built”. This appears even if the parts represent components, ie. they have no structure to pass and could not influence the “uses” info in the parent part. It seems that Windchill has to at least attempt a build, in order to realize that the associated model has no structure to pass.
To remove the warning, mark “set for build” as “build” for all parts, then manually perform a multi level build operation from the compare window. A manual build operation does not require the associated CAD Documents to iterate so the state of these is not important.

Re: Change Notice Multiple Paths
Great info guys.
One point of clarification.
When you all talk about sequenced tasks, are you talking about
Assigned Activity tasks within the Change Notice
or
Change Activity workflow (which used to be called a Change Task workflow (IIRC)).
I'd hate to try to justify a purchase by talking about one circumstance and then have it work the other way.
Hopefully it's the ability to sequence Change Activity workflows and have them automatically fire off when the previous Level have all completed.
