😉 You need process to process communication in my point of view. So messaging via sockets.
The server starts the client. The client connects to the server and waits for instructions from the server. If the client works he informs the server how he is doing.
Threads may an option as well, but similar message handling.

Dependent on your experience it may a long way to go 😩

Hi @VladimirN

I am using Creo 4.0 paramatic.exe . Basically i have a C# Tool which opens the creo session and load the assembly. Now am trying to implement to open multiple session in a single machine and load .asm file into it parallelly.

As far I know „No“ for Toolkit, because that would imply to get a session handle and each function must be called with this handle. Create your own server process which will open different clients, talk to them and communicate with any amount of connected Clients/Creo sessions. Else the session communication could be a nightmare if one handle does no longer respond.

Thanks @RPN ,

It would be very helpful if you please share some examples of server process.
