OData API Not Returning Some Documents Visible in Windchill UI (Production Environment Issue)

ozclkonur — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 05:23:56 GMT

We are querying part information and their associated documents using the same OData request on two different Windchill environments.
In our test environment, all documents are returned correctly with the following request:

/Windchill/servlet/odata/ProdMgmt/Parts?$filter=Number eq 'XXXX'& $expand=Versions($filter=State/Value eq 'RELEASED' or State/Value eq 'IMPORTED'; $expand=DescribedBy($expand=DescribedBy($expand=Attachments,Representations)), References($expand=References($expand=Attachments,Representations)), PartDocAssociations($expand=RelatedCADDoc($expand=Attachments,Representations)))

However, in our production environment, some documents that are clearly visible in the Windchill UI (under DescribedBy or References) do not appear in the OData API response at all.

The document is visible in the UI.
We are logged in with an admin account.
The same request works fully in the test environment.
The issue happens only in production.

We would like to ask for guidance on why the OData API might not return documents that are visible in the UI, and what we should check to resolve this inconsistency between environments.

Thank you in advance for your support.
