Follow the steps in this section to gather jar files to connect and communicate with Windchill. These steps require Administrator access to the organization's Windchill server and write access to the MagicDraw and Syndeia installation folders of the user's workstation.
Windchill Server Versions
- The following information was verified for Windchill versions 10.1, 10.2, and 11.0. Although the same jars might work for later versions, you may have to find additional ones and you may have to update the shown ones to those found on your current Windchill server.
- Windchill 12 jars require Java 11 and will require Rhapsody to use Java 11.
- Create a folder named libWC to collect all jar files needed for Windchill. You will need to locate and gather 2 sets of jar files from your Windchill server and copy them into the libWC folder.
Set 1 - Go to the following folder on your Windchill server: <Your Windchill Installation>\Windchill\ieconnector, e.g. D:\ptc\Windchill\ieconnector.
- Locate and copy the ie.rar file to a separate temporary location
Unzip the ie.rar file at this temporary location.
- Copy the following jar files from the unzipped folder to the libWC folder (created above), as also shown in figure below.
- ie-ra-client.jar
- webservices-api.jar
- webservices-extra.jar
- webservices-extra-api.jar
- webservices-rt.jar
Set 2
- Go to the following folder on your Windchill server: <Your Windchill Installation>\Windchill\codebase\WEB-INF\lib, e.g. D:\ptc\Windchill\codebase\WEB-INF\lib
- Copy the following 3 jar files to the libWC folder.
- ie3rdpartylibs.jar
- ieWeb.jar
- wncWeb.jar
- Now, the libWC folder should 8 jar files—5 from Set 1 and 3 from Set 2. Keep the libWC at a known location.
