Re: MPMLink - MAPSB - Equivalence Links to Self

Greg,

It varies from business to business on how the mBOM is managed.

In certain organizations they might want to have definitive access control and what information is allowed to be modified by the manufacturing organizations, eg : Make/Buy flag , in such cases you may have to create mBOM "duplicate with propagation" which will allow whole eBOM structure is created in Manufacturing view and allowing the manufacturing engineer to do those changes , which is a very common and best practice.

In certain cases, if the most of the manufacturing changes are limited to top level assembly and no restructuring is required, you may want to go with your option.

 

Thanks,
Raj


Need a discussion regarding PTC Navigator

I saw a demonstration at the last PTC conference  related to the PTC Navigator.  I am having a horrible time finding any information on details regarding how it works or someone to discuss the details.   Anyone out there have any idea?

Jeffrey Zemsky I currently have PTC Windchill 11.0 M010 installed on my machine. Do you recommend I stay on M010 or upgrade to M020?

Re: Query builder report of WTPart has duplicate results

It might be because of derived columns included in the select or a wrong join. If your select is on non-derived  columns, then you can check the distinct check box in the select properties. Could you paste a screenshot of the joins or even post the QML?

I get stuck in Processing for quite some time without anything happening

Sometimes due to Browser Cache issue this may happen. Your checkin might have been completed. go back to your workspace and check if the checkin is completed, if not try again after clearing your browser cache.

Hi Greg,

 

we have set to No, and we use mainly the action "duplicating without propagating" as in your example.

 

We choose to set to No , cause when a part(Design) is directly reused in mBOM. In our business case , it is in most of cases a "Buy" case.  So we purchase it as designed by our design department. They are responsible of the part(design) definition

If we keep to Yes, the loop equivalence link will be obsolete each time the design engineers will change something, or iterate the CAD model associated to the WTpart.  So lot of work to maintain equivalence indicator in this case

 

We do not create the whole MBOM in Manuf view. Also to avoid duplicated work.  Manuf engineers basically only change View , or create new Dowsntream manuf WTpart, when need to restructure the mBOM ("make" case).

So in this case, the équivalence link is created .

Manuf Views are created in a separate folder than the Design View to control Access between the 2 types of engineers

 

In fact we use the equivalence link indicator as a "to do" list indicator for manuf Engineers:

-if green .  all is OK , Manuf engineers do not have to analyse anything

-if yellow triangle , Design reuse as is do not have to analyse anything - but if needed they can change View to "switch" the sourcing from "Buy" to "make"

-if clock .  need manuf engineer anlysis in case of design change

 

regards

Gregory

I have tried clearing the cache but i am still not able to proceed after the processing page

Do you have other alternative browser? like Firefox or Chrome?

Do you have any other issues in your Windchill other than checkout?

Try to first download the objects and then from your workspace checkout them.

Thanks for the tip, having a look at the language settings... They're an issue as behaviour is not consistent and most likely IT won't start to control which browsers and settings users have. I started a longish reply here but instead I'm making a further question.

 

What are all the caches to clear on the server side to ensure new pic-files are implemented in the user interface?

 

IE shows old versions. Firefox loads the new ones, but when loading the page you can see the old ones appear for a while before the new. This applies to the banner background "left_gradient" but also e.g. Change Object icon gifs.

I have seen when you have a corrupted workspace. Could you try with a new WS?

Re: How to set a URL attribute of WTPartUsageLink?

This worked. perfectly well.

 

However, now I just need a little tweak.

 

What is have right now is a handle on the WTPartUsageLink object and not the WTPart. My code, now, looks like this. I don't want to set the value for all of usage links associated with that parent - but just the one I've got.

 

     WTPart parent = usageLink.getUsedBy();

     try {

          if (!WorkInProgressHelper.isCheckedOut(parent)) {

               parent = (WTPart) WorkInProgressHelper.service.checkout(parent, WorkInProgressHelper.service.getCheckoutFolder(), "").getWorkingCopy();

          }

 

     PersistableAdapter obj = new PersistableAdapter(usageLink, null, Locale.US, new UpdateOperationIdentifier());

     obj.load("LabelControl");

     Hyperlink URL = new Hyperlink(link, label);

     obj.set("LabelControl", URL);

     usageLink = (WTPartUsageLink) obj.apply();

     PersistenceHelper.manager.modify(usageLink); //this is the line that gives me the exception

     if (WorkInProgressHelper.isCheckedOut(parent)) {

          WorkInProgressHelper.service.checkin(parent, "Parent checkin");

          }

     } catch (WTPropertyVetoException | WTException e) {

          e.printStackTrace();

     }

Great responses Gregory and Raj.  Thanks for the help on this.  I believe initially we will set the preference to NO then.

Antonio Fiore - you need to weigh items in M020 for your needs.  There is no issue in moving to M020 - just make sure to get the M020-CPS02 as noted above while doing the update.

That's because you are trying to persist the usagelink that was obtained before you checked out the WTPart. 


Follow this sequence


  1. get the correct parent
  2. check it out
  3. filter the child from the persist able array - p[1]
  4. get the usage link from the persist able - p[0]
  5. Set the attribute.
