Enabling Distributed File Server Worker Functionality
To enable the Distributed File Server Worker functionality, make the following property changes on the Master Site, either with the xconfmanager command, or by manually editing the <Windchill>/site.xconf file, and then propagating the file with xconfmanager -p.
1. Set the property value as follows:
If using the xconfmanager command, set the value as:
xconfmanager -t <Windchill>/codebase/WEB-INF/conf/wvs.properties -s
"distributedcadagent.enabled=true"
If editing the site.xconf file manually, add the value:
<Property name="distributedcadagent.enabled" overridable="true"
targetFile="codebase/WEB-INF/conf/wvs.properties"
value="true"/>
2. The property usewcfileserverlookup=true is the argument used to specify a publisher in the publisher's publish.cadconvert property. By enabling this property, the publisher looks up the site name for the content that is being published, and communicate this information to the Worker Agent. The Worker Agent then targets workers configured for this site to process the Publish Job. The following is an example of how to set this property for the PROE Publisher:
If using the xconfmanager command, set the value as:
xconfmanager -t <Windchill>/codebase/WEB-INF/conf/wvs.properties -s "publish.cadconvert.
PROE=com.ptc.wvs.server.publish.CadConvertPROE,useworkerdownload=$(wt.home)$
(wvs.dir.sep)auth.properties,usewcfileserverlookup=true"
If editing the site.xconf file manually, add the value:
<Property name="publish.cadconvert.PROE" overridable="true"
targetFile="codebase/WEB-INF/conf/wvs.properties"
value="com.ptc.wvs.server.publish.CadConvertPROE,useworkerdownload=$(wt.home)$
(wvs.dir.sep)auth.properties,usewcfileserverlookup=true"/>
3. Open a Windchill shell and propagate the property changes using xconfmanager. Execute the following command:
xconfmanager -p
4. Shut down and restart the servlet engine (e.g., Tomcat) and the Windchill method server.
