Installing and Configuring the Creo View Adapters
Once the worker machine is ready, you can install and configure the Creo View Adapters.
1. Install and configure the required authoring application on the worker machine:
◦ For information on installing the application, refer to its documentation.
◦ For information on the required licenses and modules, see the Adapter Prerequisites section, in the Introduction to the Creo View Adapter for <application> under Configuring the Creo View Adapter for <application> chapter, in the
Creo View MCAD Adapter Installation and Configuration Guide.
For example, for Creo Parametric, see “Creo Parametric Adapter Prerequisites.”

The Creo View Adapter for PDF requires Adobe Experience Manager technology. For details about its installation, see the Adobe Experience Manager Installation Guide for Creo View Adapter for PDF under Creo View Adapters in Reference Documents. |

To log in you must have a PTC.com Account. The page lists only products you can download. |
3. Install the required adapter on the worker machine.
For information on installing the Creo View Adapters, see “Installing the Adapters.”
4. Configure the adapter for your CAD application.
See the Configuring the
Creo View Adapter for <application> section, under Configuring the
Creo View Adapter for <application> chapter, in the
Creo View MCAD Adapters Installation and Configuration Guide.
For example, for Creo Parametric, see “Configuring the Creo View Adapter for Creo Parametric.

For non- Creo Parametric adapters, verify that the Enable WWGM file synchronization support option is clear. You must first set up a basic publishing configuration. You will configure the File synchronization later in the procedure.
|
5. To test the communications from the worker machine to the Windchill server and port, click Test Server on the Creo View adapter configuration utility. A dialog box opens with messages that include Set keepalive ok message. Because you have not yet configured the worker, this is the expected message.
See the
Test Server section, under Using <application>_config on Windows.
For example, see “Using proe2pv_config on Windows”.
6. Verify that the Creo View adapter can generate Creo View viewables:
Perform a test publish using command-line publishing, and if supported, perform an additional test using interactive publishing. Then, check the validity of the generated viewables by opening them in the Creo View client.
For information on publishing, see the Command-line Publishing section and the Interactive Publishing section, under Configuring the Creo View Adapter for <application> chapter, in the Creo View MCAD Adapter Installation and Configuration Guide.
For example, for Creo Parametric, see “proebatch Command Line Publishing”.
You have now successfully installed and configured your adapter. Proceed to the next section to configure the Creo View adapter as a WVS worker.
