When Windchill Workgroup Manager Is Installed from a Server on a Remote Worker System
The basic requirement for publishing with file sync enabled on a remote worker machine is that there should not be any server registered with the Windchill Workgroup Manager. However, when the Windchill Workgroup Manager is installed from a server, this condition is satisfied due to automatic server registration, and server-side publishing cannot proceed. You can correct this situation as follows:
After installing Windchill Workgroup Manager client on the worker machine from a Windchill server, edit the wgmclient.ini file located at <WGM_INSTALL_DIR>, and comment-out the entry as shown below.
#Default server URL.
#default.server.url=<server_url>
In addition, the “Start application” option should not be flagged to launch Windchill Workgroup Manager after completion of the installation.
