global attributes on all doc sub-types

February 28, 2013, 5:41 am

I know I can create an Attribute at the Org level called 'Bread", then create a new document type called Sandwich.

I can then select to add the attribute 'Bread' and add the Legal List of "White|Brown|". I am make it required and add a default.

 

What I want to know is how to make all "bread' attributes have the same list? It looks like I have to copy and paste the list in each time I make a new document that has the 'Bread' attribute?

 

The example would be a document specification that has a list of “Buy|Make|Both”. I need to make sure that anytime anyone is searching for any of the several specification doc types (Matl Spec, Artwork Spec, Label Spec etc) that they get the same results.

Background Method Server not set

Hi All

 

I recently installed Windchill 10.1 M020 and found that background method server is not setup. I understood that the background method server is set up automatically based on Server RAM. I was using M010 earlier and at that time Background server got set up and working fine. My RAM config is 12GB.

 

What could be the potential problem because of this. If i need to setup background method server now, is it possible ??

 

thanks

Windchill 9.1 Custom Workflow help

I am trying to create a custom workflow in Windchill 9.1.  I want to have a decision made that will cause the workflow to travel one path or the other for a few items, merge back together for the next few items, then split for the last item based on the earlier decision.  I think I can do it with Execute Expression Robots and variables.  Any one out there able to help with the scripting, or perhaps suggest a better way.

Currently I use two consecutive workflows, but much of the information requested in the first, is also requested in the second.  This means the initiator not only has to initiate two workflows, but also re-enter information that was previously entered in the first workflow.  Being able to start one workflow, have the user choose a path and later use that same choice to determine the direction to take on the next fork, would greatly help ease user adoption to the system we've just begun to use.

Batch Printing Module

We are using the batch print module here at my company and have all sorts of issues and cases logged.  Is anyone else using this to produce production prints?  One specific question I have is in regards to the queue.  Currently we have two printers that we use to produce prints, one for A and B size prints (cannon) and one for C and D size prints (HP).  When the production department loads the drawings into batch print, the queue will only process one job at a time and waits for the printer to complete the job before moving on to the next one.  So if we send a bunch of prints to the HP, the cannon will sit idle until the HP is finished, even though there are a ton job jobs that are ready for the cannon.  Is there a way to change the queue so that it processes the jobs and send them to the printers memory?  Both printers have memory and it seems like it's not being used.  Note: I have logged a case with PTC on this, but as usual the TSE's have very limited knowledge of batch printing and how it actually works....help!

LoadFromFile : ACL rules loading error

October 13, 2011, 2:05 am
$
0
0

Hello,

 

In my Windchill configuration (9.1M060), I have only 1 site and 1 organization.

I want to load some ACL for my organization directly in command line with the LoadFromFile command within a WindchillShell.

 

First step

Create the XML file csv file with the CSV2XML utility : it's ok.

Following, a sample of the xml file created

 

<?xml version="1.0" ?><!DOCTYPE NmLoader SYSTEM standardX10.dtd><NmLoader><csvAccessRule handler="wt.load.LoadUser.createAccessRule" >    <csvuser>wcadmin</csvuser>    <csvdomain>/Default</csvdomain>    <csvtypeId>wt.epm.EPMDocument</csvtypeId>    <csvpermission>+</csvpermission>    <csvprincipal>MEMBERS</csvprincipal>    <csvpermissionList>7/15</csvpermissionList>    <csvstate>OBSOLETE</csvstate></csvAccessRule></NmLoader>

 

Second Step

Load the rules

From a windchill shell, i launch the folowing command :

 

windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile -d D:\ptc\Windchill\src\loadFiles\CDA_LoaderACL.xml -u <pwd> -p <pwd>

 

So, I obtain the error :

 

Principal "MEMBERS" not found.
Méthode de chargement wt.load.LoadUser. createAccessRule a signalé une erreur.
Aucun objet n'a été importé en raison d'une erreur.
Problème inattendu lors de l'exportation/importation.
Exception imbriquée: wt.util.WTException: Méthode de chargement wt.load.LoadUser. createAccessRule a signalé une erreur. E
data file = <D:\ptc\Windchill\src\loadFiles\CDA_LoaderACL.xml,D:\ptc\Windchill\src\loadFiles\CDA_LoaderACL.xml>
map file = <null,null>
token separator = <null,null>
method = <null,create>
user = <null>
Command line = <{}>
Problème inattendu lors de l'exportation/importation.
Exception imbriquΘeá: wt.util.WTException: Méthode de chargement wt.load.LoadUser. createAccessRule a signalé une erreur.

 

I don''t undestand the first message concerning MEMBERS : the key MEMBERS exist in the file RoleRB.RB.ser 

 

I have open a PTC call the 11th-Oct-2011. No answer today.

 

I hope for better luck with the forum.

 

Thanks for your help

Linking files in Windchill

We are currently on Windchill 10.0 m040.

 

We want to load some excel files into the system; the issue is that there is one summary document that links to different documents where the data is entered by the technicians.

 

So far I have not been able to make this work when the files get loaded into Windchill. I have tried thru the standard browsers upload and using Desktop Integration.

 

Am I doing something wrong or is this linking not possible utilizing Windchill?

Corrupted cache

April 21, 2010, 1:59 pm

Pro/E crashed last night. I restarted and found I'd lost everything I'd done yesterday, despite saving every 1/2hr or so. You'd think I'd lose only what I hadn't saved, not everything since I last checked in the work. I'm on WF3 and (unfortunately) PDMLink/Windchill 8 point whatever. I seem to remember at my last job that a guy sent an e-mail around saying the same thing happened to him without warning when he reached (I seem to remember) 2 gig in cache size. I just checked, and mine's 2.14 gig. Hmmmm.... Ok, here's another weird thing. In the much superior Intralink, we had &quot;frames&quot; (a snapshot of all files at whatever iteration when you saved anything). Great feature! You could go back and look, or recover the state of your workspace at whatever frame you wanted. So, PDMLink won't have frames until Ver 9. So, why, in my cache, do I have almost 2 gig(!!) of &quot;lid&quot; (lid_110637.wfcont) and &quot;sid&quot; (sid_1209957.wfcont) files? These SEEM to be iterative versions of parts, assemblies, drawings, etc. as you can change the extension to &quot;.prt, .asm, or .drw etc. and if you guess right you can actually open the file. So, are these what PTC uses behind the scenes to create frames? If so, and we don't have frames in PDMLink 8, why are they accumulating, and how do I delete them like we were able to clear the frames in Intralink? If I delete them all, will that corrupt my database or lose me more data? Better yet, if there are no frames now, how do I keep them from accumulating in the first place? Anyone else seen this? Any ideas on what the lid and sid files do? Thanks.

Tiff import in drawing

Hello,

 

I want to import a tiff file in Creo drawing.

I am doing it by;

Object --> Create from File --> Browse the Tiff file

 

But the tiff file is viewed as empty block & nothing can be viewed except the name of the file. See attached image.

 

The same tiff file works fine on another Creo machine. So definitely some config setting is missing on my machine.

 

Let me know if you need additional information.

 

Thank you in anticipation.

Hay Everyone,

I have added an Attribute to the standard change request called 'Justification'. What I would like to do is move it up on order displayed to the users.

I would like to to be after the current (Out of box) Description. All the additional attributes seem to go in Alphabetical order unless I place a number as a prefix.

Any clue how to do this in 9.1?

Search Paths with Windchill

Maybe this question has already been answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it while searching.

 

Are Search Paths needed in any way if all of our files are stored on Windchill 10.0?

 

I have a bunch of users who still keep their search paths in their config.pro files and I am trying to get them to clean them out. Having a bunch of random issues pertaining to bad configs.

 

If anyone can give me a justified reason as to why we would need to keep them???

 

I just don't see it, since all the searching is now done through eithe external or internal browser.

 

Thanks,

Erik

How to get queued items to publish on two cadworkers

I have two virtualized visualization servers created in Windchill. I can get the first to run the publishing queue items, but the second one keeps going offline and won't stay online when an item is needed.  It is taking a long time for the one to get through the queue, which is the reason for the second.  Has anyone had any luck getting two to work together?

Windchill - EPM Document Master object is not unique ??

January 24, 2012, 12:02 pm

Hello.  We have just moved from Intralink 3.4 to Windchill 10.0.  We did this yesterday.  As expected, we are encountering some bumps in the road.  Most of our issues are because we are all learning a new system.  Overall, the system seems to be working the way it should, and we are just experiencing problems because we don't know what we're doing.

 

But we have one problem that we can't seem to overcome.  More than once, we've gotten errors when trying to upload a new object.  Here are the steps taken leading up to this:

 

We create a new .prt which has an associated .drw.  We are able to upload the .prt but are unable to upload the .drw file.  There is an error message saying "Upload failed.  See event manager for details."  Okay, so checking the event manager, I see that the error says "EPM Document Master - xxxxx.drw is not unique".  It sounds as though it thinks that an object with this name already exists in the database.  But that is definitely not the case.  I have searched, and there is nothing with this name.  The part number also includes a job number that is unique within our company, so I just know that there's nothing with this part number in the database already.  And it hasn't happened with one isolated item.  It has happened three times already in two days.  In all cases, we are able to upload the .prt file but got this error with the .drw file. 

 

Does anybody have any idea what this error means or how we can get past it?  We are a day and a half into our Windchill life, and other than this, things are going fairly smoothly.  But not being able to check in new drawings is a big deal!!  Help!!

 

Thanks...
