Re: trying to figure out where attributes are stored in db tables

$

Most of the information which you are looking for are stored in global attributes. You have to deal with 4 tables here

1. Type Information - from LWCTypeDefinition

2. GlobalDefinition tables - Depending on the type of the field the data will be in one of the tables.

·         BooleanDefinition

·         FloatDefinition 

·         IntegerDefinition

·         RatioDefinition

·         ReferenceDefinition

·         StringDefinition

·         TimestampDefinition

·         UnitDefinition

·         URLDefinition


3. Valuetables - For each global definition there is a corresponding value table

·         BooleanValue

·         FloatValue 

·         IntegerValue

·         RatioValue

·         ReferenceValue

·         StringValue

·         TimestampValue

·         UnitValue

·         URLValue

4. LWCIBAATTDefinition table - This is where the type specific iba is stored.

 

Now the joins

1. LWCTypeDefinition's ida2a2 = LWCIBAATTDefinition's ida3a5

2.  Definitiontable's ida2a2 = LWCIBAATTDefinition's ida3a7

3. Value table's ida3a6 = Definition table's ida2a2

 

It is a bit tough task if you have to write queries to extract all the information you see in the creation wizard.

 

I am not sure whether you already tried this option, since you are in WC11, you can use RESTful Webservice to make calls to Windchill to get object type and the iba's. Since PTC is heavily in to developing RESTful api access to their products, a solution developed around this will be optimal from a support and maintenance perspective.

Re: How can I change the embedded browser within the workgroup manager as internet exploer 32 bit?

Mark,

 

For Workgroup Manager, you need to use 32bit Workgroup Manager to use 32bit embedded browser. If you are using Windchill 10.2 M030, there is a workaround to install 32bit Workgroup Manager on 64bit Windows OS. Then the Workgroup Manager will use 32bit embedded browser. Although this workaround is not fully certified by PTC, there are customers who use this technique without issue.

 

If you are interested, please open a PTC Technical support call to get the detail.

It's because you are doing a to string on a null value - affectedData.getOnOrderDisposition().toString();

Need ideas for workflow/process

I manage a Test group for a Manufacturing company and we have been using Windchill for about a year and a half.

I am still learning how Windchill works and such, so please bare with me.

 

We have 1 customized workflow for us, but it is not working the way we want it to work and needs fixing...

I am looking for a best fit to lay out our work process, so if you have any ideas on how I should approach this, then it would help us greatly.

The more ideas, the better.

 

I have attached a very general process and explanation that we go through.

 

Please let me know if there are any questions.

How do you track miscellaneous items

I was wondering how different companies track miscellaneous items like sales kits, service kits and accessories for your end items.  We're trying to get ideas for the best way to do this.  The current way we are doing it is not helpful for tracking these items in any way.  So how do you handle these objects in Windchill?

Where are the change objects that are associated with a change notice located in ORACLE?

I am trying to find the WT parts associated with a change notice in the Oracle database.

 

I created a change notice and 1 task (1 record each in WTChangeOrder/Master and WTChangeActivity/Master). There are 2 WTPart records that are linked to this task. In what table(s) are these stored? I have looked in STRUCTUREDANNOTATIONSET and SUPPORTINGDATAFOR but the records are not there. (one table has no records whatsoever; the other has none modified in the last 2 months.)

I am working through a cloning rehost to get a 10.0 m040 system that I can do test work on.

I installed Oracle on its machine and run the PTC Setup for Oracle.

Installed Windchill on its machine.

OOTB Windchill can be started.

Did a drop user PDM and Create_user PDM on the Oracle machine

Imported the Oracle dump from my production machine.

Imported the LDIF backup from production.

Ran the rehost utility with I think proper settings.

I can start the Windchill DS.

Windchill method servers start and die immediately.

 

Error message is: Failure to start manager wt.audit.Standard.Audit.Service

Could not initialize Auditing service.

Nested exceptionis: wt.util.wtexception: (wt.federation.PrincipalManager.PrincipalManagerResourse/CONFIG_ERROR_INCORRECT_NAMING_Provider) com.infoengine.util.IEException: Info*Engine configuration error - The default Directory Service Provider URL and/or Service Search Base could not be retrieved from Info*Engine properties.

I will start with verifying the directory services entry in wt.properties, wt.federation.org.DirectoryServices, ldap url in wt.properties. Then Windchill/codebase/WEB-INF/ie.properties

Another option is to create a report with all the required attributes using report manager and call the report from Thingworx using Restful service. This is super easy. Thanks to James Paschetto from PTC for this idea, he has built some really useful mashups in Thingworx.

 

First create a report in Windchill using Report Manager functionality. Take a note of the oid of the report template. In the below example I am using OOTB change request report and the report's oid is 67198.

Now if you call the rest service http://plmapp01.us.txxxx.com:80/Windchill/servlet/rest/reports/67198/results, it will return a JSON array with the list of attributes.

If we link it to change plan, it should get you the right result. If we do a direct link it does not return summary activity.

Re: Need to select a Reliable Windchill version

Hi Jerry,

As you know, when it comes to software reliability , we can't say any version is completely reliability. There is always a reverse bathtub curve with intermittent increase in failure rates with updates, upgrades and patches in software and hardware platforms. That being said, PTC release two major releases after 10.1 - 10.2 & 11. 10.2  came out approximately 4 years ago and Sep 2018 as extended support end date.  So I don't think it is not a great idea to do go to 10.2 now.

 

Windchill 11 was released in Dec 2015, with M030 release expected in June 2017. Even for M020, CPS release is at CPS10. There are some pretty  large PTC customers with extensive user base already in Windchill 11. Given all that, if you ask me I think it is pretty safe(okay let's say almost safe) to go to Windchill 11, even if you don't weigh in all the new functionalities.

 

With cloud offering, I think PTC is leveraging AWS. As you know, AWS is a market leader with more than one third of market share. So from a technology perspective cloud cannot go bad, but again it depends on your network infrastructure, level of support and so on. One thing we can say is, the cloud offering has come long way from the age of NETIDEAS.

Windchill workspace issue

$

Hi,

 

I've worked on a project in a specific workspace for some days. No problems for saving modifications.

Now when I open the workspace I find that all my work is lost. The workspace seems to be back in the original state when I started the study.

 

It seems that some people already have this problem with windchill, kind of cache corruption I guess

 

Is it a way to recover my parts and assembly or to investigate the cache files?

 

Many thanks.

HI Guys,

 

I am using Windchill software as input for my PLM project  and for that i want BOM (Bill of Material) revision date to display.

But currently i am not getting it from the data object collection from Windchill itself. Than how to get it manually, have you any idea regarding that?

 

Thanks

Hi everyone,

 

If a part(not a standard part) is used in multiple assemblies if we want revise the part then the related assemblies are to be revised.

when we revise that part i am not getting the option in collect objects where the object is used.

if that part is revised i want revise the assembly also.

i had kept some screen shots for info.

Who can i do this?

 

Thanks

Neel

In 10+ years of working with Windchill, I have never had a corrupt workspace.

I know I am asking for one now, but it is Friday and I'm off to Boston next week!
