Search for Drawings with changed Lifecycle state via REST Endpoint

DK_9661096 — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 10:55:12 GMT

Hi,

I would like to get a List of .drw who changed the lifecycle state within the last 24 h. There is a restriction to get the information via REST Endpoint.

I used the PTC CAD Document management with GET CADDocuments. I tried to use the filter for the LastModified date. But there is no impact of a changed Lifecycle state to the Last modified date.

Any Ideas how i can filter for objects who changed their lifecycle state in a range of time?

It can be done without customisation using InvokeIETask to invoke a ExecuteReportTemplate task.

Create a report using the query builder and define parameters to filter for the date, then execute the report via REST.

Endpoint: Windchill/servlet/odata/v1/IE/InvokeIETask

Task: com/ptc/windchill/enterprise/report/ExecuteReportTemplate2.xml

Body E.g.

{
"Value":"wt.query.template.ReportTemplate:664683966",
"Name":"object_ref"
}, {
"Value":"cname=" + searchString,
"Name":"input"
}

where cname is the name of parameter mapped to criteria in Query builder report

@rhart

I would recommend same way. use report template and query builder to define own collection of objects and call it by the API

for example I use ExecuteReportTemplate

CS426939 - ow to specify date criteria in Windchill REST Services call to the ExecuteReportTemplate action in Windchill PDMLink
