Dedicating a Windchill User Account for the Worker
The Distributed File Server Worker requires the creation of a dedicated Windchill user account for the exclusive use of the worker. In addition, this user account's Preferred File Server preference must be set to the file server from which the worker retrieves the files. Add this new user to the Site Administrators group. Perform the following steps to create the account:
1. Log in to Windchill as the site administrator.
2. Access Site > Utilities > Participant Administration and create a new user.
3. Access Site > Administrators and add the new user to the Site Administrators table.
4. Log in to Windchill using the new user's credentials.
5. From the Home location , navigate to Quick Links > My Settings > Preferences > Vaulting and Replication to locate the Preferred File Server preference. Change the Preferred File Server preference to the server from which this worker retrieves its data.
For more information on setting the Preferred File Server preference, see Replication.
