How to Generate "integrity://si/viewproject" URLs for Windchill RV&S Projects?

NKen_521 — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 07:17:06 GMT

Version: Windchill 13.0

Use Case: To create e-mail with URL to open specific project, currently I manually type link like following. "integrity://localhost:9001/si/viewproject?project=%2FTestProject%2Fproject.pj" (suggested in documentation.) How can I easily generate such URL?

Description:

I'm looking for an efficient way to generate URLs that directly open a specific project folder (e.g., .../project.pj) in the Windchill RV&S Client GUI. My goal is to use these URLs in email notifications.

What I've found so far:

Manual URL Entry: I've found documentation on how to manually construct these integrity://... URLs to open projects, but manual typing is prone to errors.
Automatic URL Generation (Partial Success): The documentation states:
"You can create e-mail notifications with Windchill RV&S client URLs by clicking a highlighted user name in any visible field in the GUI or Web."
I've successfully used this method to generate URLs that invoke the im (Integrity Manager) command.

My Challenge:

I need to generate URLs that invoke the si (Source Integrity) command to view a project, specifically in the format similar to:

"integrity://localhost:9001/si/viewproject?project=%2FTestProject%2Fproject.pj&filtersubs"

The issue is that when trying to select a source project in the GUI, there isn't a "highlighted user" element to click on that would generate an si command URL. The method described seems to be specific to user-related im commands.

My Question:

Is there an easier, automated way to generate URLs that open specific project.pj folders using the si viewproject command within the Windchill RV&S Client GUI? I'm trying to avoid manually constructing these URLs.

Any advice or alternative methods would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Hi,

we implemented auto-creation of URLs via server triggers, but also via custom actions and VBScript.

It is a larger script, I have extracted the relavant parts of it for URL creation (see attachment).

It is called (as custom script from within RV&S) via

wscript.exe "C:\pathtoscript\VBScript.vbs" /i

It will create an output like

****** Web link: http://ourservername:7001/si/viewrevision?projectName=d:/ServerPath/project.pj&revision=:memberbranchtip&selection=Archivename ****** GUI Project link: integrity://ourservername:7001/si/viewproject?project=d:/ServerPath/project.pj ****** GUI Project link (Member): integrity://ourservername:7001/si/viewproject?project=d:/ServerPath/project.pj&selection=Archivename ****** GUI File History link: integrity://ourservername:7001/si/viewhistory?project=d:/ServerPath/project.pj&selection=Archivename

Hope it helps to give you a starting point.

Thank you so much for the helpful reply! The example scripts for retrieving information from Windchill and generating a URL are a huge help. Now I know where to get started.
