populates data on the proxy for a project

si primeproject populates data on the proxy for a selected normal, variant, or build configuration management project.

When users are ready to connect through the proxy to the Windchill RV&S Server, there can be a delay while the proxy loads the required projects and members. When large volumes of information must be transferred over slow connections—such as for a large software development project—the delays can be significant for users until the proxy cache has received the information.

To avoid delays for users, you can prime the proxy with the required projects before users are active on the connection. To save further delays, the priming operation can be completed during non-work hours to avoid significant delays for users.

For the same reason that you manually pre-prime the proxy before users access it for the first time, you can use the si primeproject command to prime the proxy for an individual new project before users access that project through the proxy. For larger projects, priming the proxy in advance means that users are not delayed by waiting for that project’s data to download from the host. You can also use the si primeproject command any time there is significant new data for an individual project on the host. When you run the si primeproject command, the proxy downloads bulk data for the project you have specified. Once you have primed the proxy for a specified project, performance is improved for users when subsequently creating the associated normal, variant, or build sandbox.

For detailed information on priming the proxy, see the Windchill RV&S Help Center.

This command takes the universal options available to all si commands, as well as some general options. See the options reference page for descriptions.
