Publisher Queues for VCS
Windchill publishing with VCS uses Windchill queues to manage distribution of work, prioritization of job, and querying of job status from VCS. The Windchill queues utilized for VCS publishing are broadly categorized as follows:
• Priority Queues — Windchill visualization creates queues for three priorities high, medium, and low. These pooled queues, enable simultaneous execution of multiple queue entries. These queues are further categorized as File sync, Non-File sync, and Thumbnail dedicated to respective type of worker.
• Publishing Queue — These queues primarily responsibility is to execute a job, which mainly involves pre-processing activities like package generation, handing over job to VCS. There queue are further categories based worker type like file sync, non file sync thumbnail worker. There is an addition publishing pool queue which executes post processing activities after representation is generated by VCS.
• Job Status Scheduler Queues — Windchill Visualization manages a dedicated scheduler queue to fetch job status (state, job order, job message, and so on) for all jobs submitted to VCS.
 |
• PTC recommends not to modify these queues, since these are the default queues used by the VCS publishing process.
• Publishing with VCS does not use traditional queue sets or multiple processing.
