[Windchill] Cannot do copy & paste in Applet

Scenario
As I do some operation in Windchill, because of some user interface was done by applet, it is inconvenience for us if we wolud like to copy some texts then paste them into the applet.

Solution
It is the security constraints so we cannot do copy and paster in applet window.
We can find out the java.policy file in JRE\lib\security, then append this declaration as bellows:

grant codeBase "http://hostname/Windchill/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

[ANT] Date of 05/28/2006 07:06 午後 Cannot be parsed correctly. It should be in MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM_PM format

Scenario
As I utilized ant to build program, it throwed exception as bellows:
D:\ptc\Windchill_8.0\customization\wtinstaller.xml:234: Date of 05/28/2006 07:06 午後 Cannot be parsed correctly. It should be in MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM_PM format.

About the timestamp in the build script is written as bellows:
<tstamp><format property="myDateTime" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm aa"
offset="-${sinceDays}" unit="day" /></tstamp>

Solution
Owing to the locale of my environment is Japane, so it will show this kind of error message, we just need to add locale attribute to this element, and set it to be en, then we can resolve this kind of problem.
<tstamp><format property="myDateTime" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm aa"
offset="-${sinceDays}" unit="day" locale="en"/></tstamp>

[Windchill] java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host

Scenario
As I start the method server, it always throw this kind of exception message as bellows and the method server always cannot be start properly:

星期一 5/22/06 16:31:49: main: Warning: exception connecting to master LogicalIdentifierCacheMgr:
星期一 5/22/06 16:31:49: main: java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: albert.ptcnet.ptc.com; nested exception is:
星期一 5/22/06 16:31:49: main: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect


Solution
According to the wt.properties, it said that windchill use port 5001. But as I telnet it, telnet albert.ptcnet.ptc.com 5001, it cannot be connect it.
It may result from that port 5001 had been occupied by another applications or this port had been blocked by firewall, so I change the port from 5001 to 5002, then the problem had been resolved successfully.

Solution
Owning to the service which named com.ptc.ptcnet.albert.server.taskProcessor does not exist, so it will produce this kind of exception in the method server console.

Change the value of ptcServiceName of com.ptc.ptcnet.albert.Windchill in LDAP.

<init-param>
<param-name>development</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
