Server Controlled Publishing with inventorworker
When the Visualization server initiates a request to convert Inventor data to the Creo View format, it uses the Inventor worker to convert the file in the background. This Visualization server could be a Windchill server or another customized server environment.
The Inventor worker is an important link in achieving the full functionality of the Visualization server. For more information, refer to Visualization Server Definition.
inventorworker Overview
The Inventor worker manages the relationship between Inventor and the Visualization server. It converts the files to the Creo View format used by the Creo View client. To configure the worker you must know the Visualization server host name, the port number that the Worker Agent is listening on, and the complete path to the worker script inventorworker.
Using inventorworker
 |
You are strongly advised to first test your inventorbatch configuration before using the inventorworker script. Troubleshooting inventorbatch is an easier way of identifying and resolving most issues that will also affect the worker.
|
The worker script is created in the setup directory, and it should be run by the Visualization server when starting the worker.
When configuring the Worker Agent to use this worker, use the following Execute Command:
<setup_directory>/inventorworker.bat
In our example, this command is:
C:/ptc/inventor_setup/inventorworker.bat
 |
Do not use spaces in the setup directory name. In addition, use the .bat extension when the worker is on a Windows machine.
