Windchill: check out, check in, Revise and check out

[dmtr99]

Is it possible to Command Windchill even more?

• windchill : check_out file, files
• windchill : check_in file, files, context
• windchill : revise_and_check_out file, files

@adama2000 and @davidhbigelow : your work is mindblowing, it is amazing how many possibilities for improvement, speed and automation this opens. Thanks!!!

@dmtr99 .... Thanks for the praise... it is appreciated! :)

Some of that appears to be possible. We just do not have a local installation of Windchill to test. We tried to set that up once a few years back and put our hands in our face and stepped back...

Not sure if the setup/installation has gotten any easier or not... We have been blessed to work with a customer or two that enables us to validate some basic things with our APIs into it.

Will have to noodle on that a bit more. A bit fearful of executing some of that functionality on a customer's environment (cringe)... Maybe we attempt another installation marathon session at some point - just got to find the time...

I'm also interested with theses features, maybe i can help for tests?

After playing around a bit with Creoson (I'm impressed, well done!), I fully expected these functions to be implemented. To me, and I expect many PTC users, being able to check in/out of Windchill is crucial for any automation script.

Any idea if this is going to be implemented? Also willing to help with any necessary testing!
