Enhancements
Compatibility
• ThingWorx Operator Advisor 8.5.2 is included in the ThingWorx Apps 8.5.2, which is compatible with ThingWorx 8.5.2. For more information, see the ThingWorx Apps 8.5.2 Release Notes.
• ThingWorx Operator Advisor 8.5.2 supports Windchill REST Services (WRS) 1.7 and specific domain versions. For more information, see Product Requirements and Windchill REST Services Domains Used in Process Plan Conversion.
Process Plan Conversion Enhancements
• When converting an Windchill MPMLink process plan, you can now supply navigation criteria to convert only those parts of the process plan structure that are of interest. For more information, see Converting Process Plans from Windchill MPMLink and Using Navigation Criteria in Process Plan Conversion.
• Process plan conversion now includes both allocated parts and operated-on parts. Enumeration values for the MaterialUse property on work definition material specifications have been added to support both allocation types. For more information, see Work Definition Material Specification Properties and Updating Material Use Values.
Work Instructions Screen Enhancements
• The work instructions screen (PTC.SCA.SCO.UnifiedWorkInstructionsScreenMashup) now includes a list of the materials associated with the selected step in the work instructions.
• For work instructions that were converted from Windchill MPMLink in occurrence mode, cross-selection highlighting is supported between the materials list and the CAD diagram. Selecting a row in the materials list highlights the related part in the CAD diagram. Selecting a part in the CAD diagram highlights the related part in the materials list. The cross-selection highlighting functionality is supported only for data that is converted in 8.5.2 or later.
• For more information, see Work Instructions Example Implementation.
Known Issues
The following known issues are present in ThingWorx Operator Advisor 8.5.2:
Known Issue
Solution
Viewing mashups directly from within ThingWorx Composer for the first time can result in a message saying that the user does not have a valid licence.
Workaround: Reload the mashup.
This issue will be addressed in a future release.
When ThingWorx and Operator Advisor are configured for SSO authentication, downloads or attachments (such as images or videos) that are fetched directly from Windchill by URL do not display.
This issue will be addressed in a future release.
Options navigation criteria does not filter process plans as expected during conversion when operations are "overloaded". Overloaded operations have expressions assigned to resources within the operation, such as tools or equipment, for more than one variant filter.
Overloaded process plans, where expressions are assigned to the operations themselves, rather than to resources within the operations, are filtered as expected during conversion.
When switching between tabs on the PTC.SCA.SCO.UnifiedWorkInstructionsScreenMashup, the ThingView Widget actions on the CAD tab can become unresponsive.
