• Start the Creo Distributed Batch client.

• Log on to Windchill. Create and populate a Creo ModelCHECK task group.

• Submit the task group to Creo Distributed Batch.

◦ The Creo Distributed Services Manager (DSM) loads the task group in a queue and submits individual task files for processing.

◦ The DSM collects the task information, such as the objects and the configuration files, and copies this information to the local computer on which the Distributed Service is waiting to process the task.

◦ Creo Parametric starts in the nongraphical mode.

◦ Creo ModelCHECK processes the task files in the local cache, stores results based on how the task group is configured, and removes the local cache.

◦ Creo ModelCHECK results and metrics files are written to disk based on the Creo ModelCHECK configuration.

◦ If Creo ModelCHECK and Windchill are configured for shape indexing, shape information is written to the Creo Parametric models and propagated to Windchill as Instance Based Attributes (IBAs).

◦ If Creo ModelCHECK is configured to modify models, these models are written back to Windchill workspace or commonspace, depending on where these models were originally located and based on how the Creo Distributed Batch task group is configured.

◦ Creo Parametric notifies DSM about the success or failure of the tasks. The DSM subsequently reports the success or failure status of the tasks to the Creo Distributed Batch client.
