What is enhanced?
|
Description
|
|
Authentication
|
In addition to Single Sign-on configuration, you can configure ThingWorx Navigate with Windchill Authentication (i.e. Windchill as Identity Provider). A lightweight setup between ThingWorx Navigate and Windchill. In this configuration Windchill handles the authentication of each user’s login credentials. User identity management relies on secure communications (i.e. 2–way SSL) between ThingWorx Navigate and Windchill.
|
|
Installation
|
Application of visibility and permissions for non-administrators is automated.
|
|
Upgrade
|
ThingWorx Navigate in-place upgrade reduces script execution and manual steps. Tailoring is retained automatically.
|
|
Licensing
|
ThingWorx Navigate supports two license groups: Named Users and Active Daily Users. A user must be added to one license group.
|
|
Response time of Parts List, Part Structure, and 3D Visualization
|
Loading time of Parts List, Parts Structure and WebGL 3D visualization is improved. Enhanced tailoring options that control the number of items to load and the number of tree levels to display, speed up loading of Parts List and Parts Structure.
|
|
Parts List Export to CSV
|
Users can export the complete Parts List to a CSV file.
|
|
Download Drawing Bundle
|
• Error handling is improved: A message appears when drawings and parts are not found.
• The table widget is consistent with the table in View Parts List.
• An indicator for table loading gives the user instant feedback when a large Parts List is being retrieved and displayed.
|
|
Tree grid used in Part and Document Structure
|
ThingWorx Navigate uses the new ThingWorx Advanced Grid for displaying structures. This enables reordering and hiding columns.
|
|
General Usability
|
• Message indicating that more search results can be available than are displayed.
• Use of Part name and revision for Downloaded Drawing and Design Files names.
• Visual feedback for actions with longer response time.
|
|
Look and Feel
|
Updated styling in task pages. Appearance is more aesthetic and aligned with other PTC connected apps.
|
|
DB support
|
Support for Microsoft SQL server Database.
|
|
Where are issues and limitations?
|
Description
|
|
Design Files and Drawing File Columns
|
When configured in the Parts List task, Design Files and Drawing File columns are not sortable.
|
|
Hierarchy in View Part Structure and View Document Structure
|
In View Part Structure and View Document Structure, the hierarchy of the structure is not visible if the column that displays the hierarchy is hidden.
The tree hierarchy is associated with the first column. Therefore, moving or hiding it from the user interface is not recommended. Hiding or moving this attribute can be performed when tailoring the View Part Structure and View Document Structure tasks.
|
|
Displaying values in other languages
|
When using ThingWorx Navigate tasks in some European languages, numeric values are displayed according to the English formatting and not according to the specific locale, for example, a decimal point appears instead of a decimal comma.
|
|
File Downloads
|
Downloading or opening files in tasks varies between browsers. For example, one browser prompts to open or save files while another browser opens or downloads some files automatically.
|
|
Content proxy URL
|
Content Proxy URL field is case sensitive When the correct case-sensitive URL is not entered, search will fail and users may get errors reporting that a search was dropped by the content proxy.
|
|
Updating Windchill CPS
|
Any time you apply a Windchill CPS, the Windchill enablement patch is overwritten or lost. Make sure to reapply the enablement patch after every CPS update.
|
|
Form-Based Authentication
|
• Issue: ThingWorx Navigate doesn’t work when the Windchill server is set up to use form-based authentication.
• Workaround:
◦ For Windchill servers, use Tomcat authentication.
1. Navigate to $WT_HOME/tomcat/configAuth.
2. Run the following command: ant –f authConfig.xml enable
◦ When using form-based authentication with another enterprise solution, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to <WT_HOME>/codebase/WEB-INF/web.xml.
2. Move this line of code: <url-pattern>/sslClientAuth/*</url-pattern>
from this security constraint: <web-resource-name>Authenticated resources</web-resource-name>
to this security constraint: <web-resource-name>Anonymously accessible resources</web-resource-name>
• Resolution: This issue is resolved in Windchill 11.0 M010.
|
|
Additional requirements for using the View & Measure in 3D Task with Windchill 10.2 and 11.0
|
The View & Measure in 3D task uses the Creo View plugin and agent.
• With Windchill 10.2 M030, 10.2 M032, and 11.0, you must sign in to Windchill separately in order for the Creo View plugin to work.
• With Windchill 10.2 M030, 10.2 M032, you must use this task with Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 or later.
• With Windchill 11.0 , you must use this task with Google Chrome 57 or later , Mozilla FireFox 52 ESR or later, or Internet Explorer 11 or later.
