Re: Published drawings using the wrong version of the model

You are right, your exact drawing/part latest revision being saved do not exist. It has caught us here before, too.

 

Your users need to be sure that when they release a drawing it is referencing the latest model. There can be code written in to the promotion request to verify that the latest drawing is referencing the latest model.

 

As Tom said, by default, Creo opens the latest version of anything unless you specify something else. Add to workspace is configured, at least here, to add the As-saved models of a drawing.

 

Neither option would have caught your situation or mine, hence the need for customizing the promotion request code to always utilize the latest model when a drawing is being promoted. This also requires the users to initiate the promotion request against the drawing, so it can pick up the latest model. Assembly drawings have an added complexity due to components being revised at different times plus the form/fit/function rule to determine revision or new part number.

I assume that code could also be written for change management CN's?

Re: Help! "Build Failed" WT Part Error

I just came across this same error message. Looking at the Association "link" between the CAD object and WTpart everything looked fine, showed association as Owner. However, going into Edit Associations in the CAD part I found that there were 2 Owner associations one to the current Version and another to the previous Version. I deleted the Owner association to the old Version. I then went to the associated WTpart and checked it back in. Then we tried checking in the assembly that had been throwing the error and it checked in with no error messages.

I added a URL link in the Library context.  When I open the Link it opens in the same web browser as Windchill.  I can't back out of it to go back to Windchill, so I have to close the Link and it closes the Windchill session also.  I would like to have the URL link open in a new window or tab so it does not interrupt my Windchill session.

We are on a similar path and ended up designing  a workflow to share files from product to project. So when the product team needs to share files, they create a soft type of problem report which we named as "Share Request". Share request workflow shares the files collected to respective project based on the attribute selection in create wizard.The requests are created in product space and resolves roles from product context team. Since we leverage a workflow, we are able to use a custom workflow notifications to notify the respective suppliers and other stake holders when files are shared. The workflow also captures our interactions with the suppliers. More than anything it gives us the ability to track/audit all the shares and notify respective owner if the files are shared for longer duration than what is mandated by the security team. With whole a lot of suppliers, you will end up with a pretty large amount of shared files and often it is a pain from a administrative front.

This is doesn't work for MBOMs, only does for other BOMs. Any other idea?

"why the software isn't written such that when the drawing is checked in that PDMLink/Intralink should use the same revision and the latest iteraion of that revision as its reference model."

 

I expect it's because that would result in someone else coming up with the opposite problem and wondering why it can't it do the thing it does now. It is not always possible to have a single software to answer deal with a disconnect that humans force on it.

 

For example: 123,456. Is this one hundred thousand and some as it would be portrayed in the US or a bit over one hundred as parts of Europe would recognize it?

 

Still, heck yes, it's annoying when there is a mismatch between what one expects and what one gets with operations that would seem to be parallel, but are not.

I was at the recent Windchill Infrastructure TC meeting and the subject of DTI came up.  It seems a large set of companies were having issues with DTI becoming unstable as MS Office and Windows patches were applied.  Is anybody able to share experience with DTI and what sort of patching is problemattic?

Hans,

 

Pretty slick spreadsheet, this streamlines the process quite a bit. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info - we may do the same.  Got ambitious and thought that we might be able to execute both the share to project and starting workflow with one action.  Tech support case just now - no API for Share to Project.

 

So, looks like we'll have to have users initiate the workflow as you've stated.  Likely will use a sub type of change request instead of problem report - and add an Action such that one does not have to select Change Request, then a sub type of it but can select directly.

 

We're going to pilot this cautiously and try to work out the configurations and process carefully before extending to a lot of users.

Windchill has supported api's for sharing to project:

  • DataSharingHelper.service.shareVersion(Persistable object, WTContainerRef to_container_ref, Folder to_folder) Shares an object given the target container and the target folder.
  • DataSharingHelper.service.shareVersions(WTCollection objects, WTContainerRef to_container_ref, Folder to_folder) Shares a WTCollection given the target container and the target folder.

while(prjQresult.hasMoreElements()) {  proj = (Project2) prjQresult.nextElement();  Object localObject = WTContainerRef.newWTContainerRef(proj);  String new_folder_path = "//Default//"+programSelected;  Folder folderForSharingData = getFolder(new_folder_path,(WTContainerRef) localObject);   for(WTObject affItem:affectedItemsList){  DataSharingHelper.service.shareObject(affItem,(WTContainerRef)localObject,folderForSharingData);  }

 

You can use data sharing helper to share objects, it works great even though it is not supported. I am surprised to see DataSharingService

is marked as supported even though PTC says there are no supported APIs to share to project.

 

You can create a custom action to create the subtype of the change object, copy over the out of the box JSPs and modify the create.Bean command to directly call the subtype. In this way, the custom action directly opens the wizard with the subtype selected, they don't have to even select the soft type.

 

<jca:initializeItem operation="${createBean.create}" baseTypeName="wt.change2.WTChangeIssue|com.xxxx.ShareRequest"/>

That is the As Stored option and this specific version of the drawing has nothing stored with it.
