Install Creo Elements/Direct Job Server
The Job Spooler Server (part of the Creo Elements/Direct Manager Server installation) assigns a job to a Creo Elements/Direct Job Server and triggers the actual execution on that server. The Creo Elements/Direct Job Server computer requires Creo Elements/Direct Modeling (for Clash Analysis or 3D Format Generation jobs), or Creo Elements/Direct Drafting (for 2D Format Generation or Plot jobs).
The Creo Elements/Direct Job Server installs separately from the other Creo Elements/Direct Manager Server components. You should install the Creo Elements/Direct Job Server on a dedicated machine because of the heavy processing load.
 |
Creo Elements/Direct Job Server requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.
