Re: How to Un-hide the subtypes of CAD Document in WC 10.0??
↧
I attempted to import a drawing format into Windchill, I encoutered the following error.
@Operation failed because the user did not have the necessary permission on the following objects to perform the operation: Format - jjk_cadform_b_stdrd_wm.frm, -.1
I recently installed Windchill 11.0. I am setup as Manager as well as User.
I sure can use some help on how to set the permission for drawing format in Windchill?
Best Regards,

Re: Removing Instances from Family Tables that are in Windchill
Agree.
This is the same procedure that we too follow to make the existing/new parts as instance to another existing part.
And we have also trained our designers on this procedure.
But we can't restrict them from creating family for assemblies since this is widely used practice across different products and teams, so we frequently face issues when there is a need to remove or add instance and designers don't follow the right procedure, which sometimes makes it impossible to fix the issue due to references to released drawings or assemblies.

Item vs CAD structure
Hello everyone.
I currently work for a company that has a basic PDM system, even the reseller told me it is actually a file manager. This is to say that CAD files are checked in and the CAD structure is used as the BOM.
They have no concept of Item management. I am trying to build a case for Item management and have an Item vs CAD argumentation.
The current PDM allows to link files so as you have a WTpart and its contain. The CAD files replaces the WTpart and additional files can be linked to the CAD files.
Eg, if I have a model, I can associate office files (such as test report, material specification etc…). This looks similar to what you would do with the WTpart. They are also wanting to link their PDM with their new ERP system. They intend to transfer the BOM. They have not been receptive of the discussion about eBOM and mBOM
I struggle to articulate argumentation in favour of Items with that particular company.
I was wondering if anyone could share his experience.
I guess this is the same situation within companies having using PDMLink for many years but never enabled the WTPart. What argumentation is used to build the case for the WTpart.
Thank you

Re: Removing Instances from Family Tables that are in Windchill
I think I'm at the very difficult (but maybe not impossible) level of fixing the deleted instance. The deleted instance(s) are used in several assemblies as well as the objects are at a 'Released' state. One option could be setting the family table back to an 'Unreleased' state, open the new generic in session, delete the bad revision/iterations from Windchill, and then add the instance(s) manually back into the family table. This way I'll make sure not to undo the users changes. Once I had it reattached, I could consider separating the instance(s) out from the generic if desired. This would be a lot of work from something to takes 1 second for the user to incidentally do.

Impact to Windchill end-users in environment with one container vs multiple containers?
What is the difference (if any) to the end-user interface in Windchill when the system architecture is designed to use one container versus multiple containers? (I'm not asking about impact for system administrators, just the end-user experience). Thank you.

Re: Impact to Windchill end-users in environment with one container vs multiple containers?
There is no impact to the end user, you just have to add them to each container so they can see them.
Depending on WHY you want multiple containers, can you use folders in a single container instead?
I have used multiple containers at a prior company. We had each project in a separate container and used team members to assign designers to their proper work container. There were times that an engineer would move into a project and nobody would tell me until he could not find what he was looking for because he did not have rights to be there.

Re: Impact to Windchill end-users in environment with one container vs multiple containers?
Thanks Ben. I'm pretty sure our team will set up one container. I read about challenges with multiple containers but wasn't sure about impact to end-users. Thank you for your response.

Re: I attempted to import a drawing format into Windchill, I encoutered the following error.
If it's a new install and there is not yet anything in the system, start with just a .PRT. Create it and check in. Then find it in Windchill and right click, select Manage Security - add your name. Allows investigating existing permissions. Can also Set State to various states and repeat - see permissions by state.
Since it specifically calls out "necessary permission" then make sure your account is in fact the Manager of that context (assuming it's a Library for the Format). Look at the Team for the Library.

Re: Item vs CAD structure
After having full WTParts / Product Structure implemented and in use at Alcon for several years - and having coached all users (and consumers of Windchill info) thru the thinking transition of having the BOM defined by CAD, I'm now experiencing the very beginning of this awakening / awareness / thought process at Edwards Lifesciences. Very interesting.
My overall recommendations are (we're living this here right now):
1. Compare existing ERP BOM's to CAD structures (we have some products that mismatch 40% - but for valid reasons which relate to EBOM/MBOM, variants, overloaded CAD assy's, different supplier variations of parts, ERP BOM changes / PN's being used to indicate status / country, etc., etc.)
2. Buy some books and get all on the team to read and discuss them (really!!).
3. Formally interview representatives of every role in the company and ask / explore how they get / maintain this info now. A zillion local spreadsheets, Access databases, etc. come out of the woodwork and get exposed. Get all the users to state in their own words what would be better.

Re: enumerations
I know this is an old topic but I kept coming back to it. My classification administrator was essentially looking for a Where Used report for Enumerations. Since my research kept bringing me back to this discussion, I figure I'd post my findings here.
It took me awhile to find the right tree to bark up and it wasn't until I started looking closely at the Types and Attributes export where I ran across the right class name that'd help me in reporting; com.ptc.core.lwc.server.LWCEnumerationBasedConstraint. After digging into that we managed to create a report that centralized on this class (basically a link class between LWCEnumerationDefinition or master and LWCIBAAttDefinition) and gave us the name of the Enumeration (LWCMasterEnumerationDefinition), the name of the Attribute the enumeration is used as a constraint in (LWCIBAAttDefinition), and the context in which that attribute can be found (from LWCIBAAttDefinition context ref, it can be either a LWCTypeDefinition <-Type or a LWCStructEnumAttTemplate <-Classification). The result is "Enumeration", "Attribute", "Context". Attached is the QML.

Re: What is the difference between SMJconsole and SEJconsole ?
SMJ connects to the Server Manager. SEJ connects to the Servlet Engine. I don't know the difference beyond that.

Re: Anyone customized a referenced by link for EPMDocuments?
Gregory,
Thanks for the info. I am Yao, who works with Lewis. I did looked at the configurable reference link in type manager, but the relationship constraints are only for wtdocs, not epmdoc. Would you please share a little bit more details on how to set up the link?
Thanks,

Re: What is the difference between SMJconsole and SEJconsole ?
In Windchill 10.x and later, since the Servlet Engine is now embedded in the Method Server, the SEJconsole command will actually connect you to the Method Server process.
The difference between the two commands is only in which process you connect to through Jconsole. Using the SMJconsole command will allow you to view data and run operations on the Server Manager process. Running the SEJconsole command will allow you to view data and run operations on either the Tomcat or Method Server process, depending on your version.

How to retrieve the "promoted from state" for promotion targets using an expression robot in a promotion request workflow
We are using Windchill 10.2 M030.
I need to know how to retrieve the "promoted from state" for promotion targets/objects in a promotion request. I know how to query the promotion targets and get attribute values from them, but I have not been able to find where the "promoted from state" value is stored or how to retrieve it.
For example, if an object is submitted for promotion from the "INWORK" state to the "RELEASED" state, I want to retrieve the "INWORK" state value.
Here is the code I am using to get the promotion targets and some of the code for processing them:
wt.maturity.PromotionNotice pn = (wt.maturity.PromotionNotice)primaryBusinessObject;
wt.maturity.StandardMaturityService p = new wt.maturity.StandardMaturityService();
wt.fc.QueryResult pn_targets = (wt.fc.QueryResult) p.getPromotionTargets(pn);
while (pn_targets.hasMoreElements()) {
Object myObject = pn_targets.nextElement();
typeName = wt.type.TypedUtilityServiceHelper.service.getExternalTypeIdentifier((wt.type.Typed)myObject); // store object type
}

Re: Anyone customized a referenced by link for EPMDocuments?
Hi Yao
you're right,OOTB , the EPMDocument is not selectable
please see in the Referenced By link between WTPart and CAD Document
a properties to set in wt.properties. It drives the "Role B" object types
CONFIGURABLE_LINK_ROLE_CLASSES=wt.part.WTPart,wt.doc.WTDocument
you can add wt.epm.EPMDocument, or any Versionnable objects

ProjectLink Dashboard
Good morning,
I currently do not have access to Windchill and I have been looking on precisionLMS and the forum but could not find what I need.
I was wondering if one of you would be kind enough to send me the following screenshots (please hide any names or confidential information).
- The list of projects showing the status of the projects, % of completion etc.. I think this is the default view
Change Management: The default report that shows the number of Change Requests, Change notice etc..
I want to illustrate my powerpoint with some screenshots that show that how default dashboards look like and how easy it is to get information from it.
I hope you see what I am after. Thanks a lot

Re: Upper case constraint for WTPart name (and number)?
I added a product idea, since I believe that this kind of functionality should be configuration and not programming a listener.
Please vote for my idea.
Allow constraints on name attribute: upper/lower case, picklists
