Re: Want Workflow Tasks to Put Resulting Objects Under Review
Hey Jordan
Do you have an example for the Expression Robot where you query these "resulting" objects ( both DOC and Part types) and then run through a loop and assign new LC state ?
THis is within the Change activity work flow. If you have would you please share
Thanks

How to show a direct link to the representation file in search results
Greetings Gurus,
I am wondering if anyone has discovered a way to show a direct link to the viewable file (in our case the PDF) for a CAD drawing in the search results or any other view for that matter?
We recently had a member of our user community say the number one enhancement they would like to see in Windchill is the ability to directly open the PDF (resulting from published CAD drawing) directly from the search results table. It is too many layers down to actually be able to open the PDF file in adobe.
I was thinking maybe using Alias attribute on EPM document to show a link to the associated viewable file?
Any help is appreciated.
BR,
Cam

Import job linked to part history after usage of importable spreadsheet
Hi all,
is there a possibility to mention the import job number, done via importable spreadsheet, in the part history?
As I import e.g. a BOM there is only visible that something happend, but no possibility to mention anything in the comments.
Thanks
Markus

Re: Setting State on Resulting Items within Change Task
Thanks for the direction . That was helpful. However I have a question . The help documents mention about Change Notice Work Flow. I was wondering the same could be applied within a change task (activity) work flow ?

Re: Setting State on Resulting Items within Change Task
you can do it in every workflow you want. You also can create other transition than Review and Refine.

Publishing Rules Question
We are using some publishing rules to create DXF and STP files for CAD publishing. When we apply additional rules to only create the DXF/STP files only at certain states (Released and Pre-Production Release), it does not work as expected. If I manually publish the CAD while at the target state, the DXF/STP files get created. If I Set State or Promote the CAD to the target states, the viewables are derived from the non released state and the DXF/STP files do not get created. Is there a method to enforce the publishing rules upon Set State/Promote/ECN to the n target state?

How do make a user a workflow administrator or the right to create templates?
I created a Product in my production server that separated from the rest of the other products. I have set up a Team and given them access restrictions so that they don't mess up or go into the other product folders. The problem is, I am trying to grant one user the ability to create workflows and templates but he cannot see them. I tried following the procedure in CD33694 "How to grant permission to user to be a workflow administrator in Windchill PDMLink" (https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS33694&art_lang=en&posno=1&q=how%20to%20grant%20a%20user%20wor…)
but there is no "Prinicipal Administrator" present under site/utilities view when I am logged in as Site and Org Admin.
There is a foot note saying, "It will be necessary for the user to have access to the Utilities menu such that they can access the workflow templates. At a minimum, the user would need to be in a context management role (product / library manager)" can someone point me in the right direction how to do that without giving them access to the whole product workflows and templates for the entire site please?
Thanks.

Windchill 10.0 Java client support
We are running Windchill 10.0 m040 and have run into an issue with incompatible Java installs on some users machines who are running another program that required them to have Java 8 update 66 installed.
In trying to get to a common Java environment between the 2 programs, what version and update is the highest that will work with Windchill 10.m040?
We are in the early planning stages of upgrading to Windchill 11.0 m010, but like my manager just said, it is a low priority and the time frame slips as other things impact what I have time to work on. I do plan on upgrading by the end of March 2017, but even that can slip again.

Re: How do make a user a workflow administrator or the right to create templates?
Unless you add them to the Site or Org Workflow Admin Group, then the only choice is to make them Manager of the Product - which full access to all product data. The only real way to address is to assign two accounts.to the user, and have one of them be able to manipulate workflow templates but not do any real work.

How do I make them the Product Manager? THat would be fine.

Re: How do make a user a workflow administrator or the right to create templates?
As Site or Org admin, or as existing Manager of the Product, browse to the Context, then Team. Select Add User to Manager Role.

Setting publish.publishonepmdocumentchange property to true will forced a republish when the state changes.
Setting publish.copyforwardrepresentationsonrevise to false will prevent the viewables from being copied to the newly revised document.

the problem is not the document but support site.
It's incredibly slow and, after I refresh a document opened this morning, now I get same error as you.

Re: Setting State on Resulting Items within Change Task
We started supporting releasing at either the Change Notice or the Change Task level with 10.0 M020. You need to update the workflow to place the Helper at the right level and change the class called (eg Change Notice or Change Task)
- com.ptc.windchill.pdmlink.change.server.impl.WorkflowProcessHelper.releaseChangeables((wt.change2.WTChangeOrder2)primaryBusinessObject);

Re: How do I set revision of imported legacy cad data to the "current revision", say Rev B.2 for example?
This has been an issue here. If an item is created and structured but the user fails to set the revision properly, there needs to be a way for the administrator to alter a revision. I can understand the mess that this could cause but it would be invaluable to ensuring that the data is correct. It can be next to impossible to change what amounts to a single letter in a few fields to another letter. We are forced to remove and delete to try again. Wasteful.

Re: How do make a user a workflow administrator or the right to create templates?
Hi Tim,
May I ask as to the business case for a "Product/Library specific" workflow template? While that is 100% supported in PTC, in my personal experience I have yet to work with a Windchill system where Product/Library specific workflows were created, as all Windchill systems I've worked with have object-to-object relationships that cross Product/Library contexts by design (CAD/WTPart assemblies, affected/resulting items of change objects, etc).
Just curious - thank you.

Re: Windchill 10.0 Java client support
Given the matrix document I pulled for M050, I would think the latest versions of Java Plug In 1.6 series would work with M040, as it says Java Version 7 is supported as of M050.
Personally I'd test out the latest update of both versions 6 and 7, and any version of 8 is likely not supported for any MOR of WC 10.0.
