Connecting to a Windchill Server
Server registration enables connection and interaction with a Windchill server from Creo Parametric.
Registering a Windchill server enables you to work in a collaborative design environment. Instead of a local working directory, you manage your designs in a project-related workspace (essentially a private folder on the Windchill server).
For more information, see Workspace Page Functionality.
In a connected session, your work can be saved and uploaded to a secure server location. For more information, see Saving and Uploading Objects. When you are ready to share your work, you check it in to the Windchill commonspace.
For more information, see Introduction to the Workspace.

The preference > (which specifies the maximum number of objects to be displayed in a Windchill table) does not apply to the workspace Object List table.

What is involved?
Use the Server Management utility to register a PDM server:
• Click > to access the Server Management window.
• Enter a name and valid URL for the server.
• Select a workspace.
• Set the workspace to be your active workspace and make the server your primary server.
• Your server and workspace then appear in the Folder Navigator.
For more information on server registration, see Managing Connections Using the Server Management Utility.
Registering and Activating a Windchill Server
You can also use another method to register a Windchill server, activate it from the HTML UI, and get started quickly. This method works only with Creo Parametric or when using the WWGM embedded browser. Refer the video, to understand the process to register the Windchill server and activate it.
