2 Startup directories and possible conflict

Goodmorning everyone,
I would like to submit this problem with CREO 4.0 M010

 

On the same pc I have:

1) "network boot" = Creo 4.0 M010 boot icon pointing to a folder on the NAS configured as a network resource in windows, Creo license files, start directories and start subdirectories, working directories are all on the NAS and below the same network resource obviously in different folders. The network is not a splinter so file / assembly loading times are quite high.
2) "local boot" = boot icon of Creo 4.0 M010 pointing to a local folder in C: \, license file is always on NAS with path as above, sstart directories and start subdirectories in local C: \, working directory in local C: \ (actually the work dir is a Google Drive folder where to avoid space problems in the name I created a bat that creates a windows network drive to bypass the first part of the path with the spaces in the name) . I have checked that config.pro and search.pro of the "local" installation point to the right folders and no to "network" installation path.

 

Now the problem with the "local" installation is this:
a) opening of the xxx assembly with network cable connected > 35 minutes !!!!!!!!!!!
b) opening the same xxx assembly with network cable connected to take the license file and then disconnected 35 seconds !!!!!!!!!

 

what escapes me?
(always start both config as administrator on Win7)
(same "local" configuration copied on a different pc always load same assembly in 35 seconds)


thanks to those who will have time and desire for a suggestion.

Hi,

I would compare trail files ...

1.] Start Creo, do 35 minutes test, end Creo

2.] Start Creo, do 35 seconds test, end Creo

Open two trails files simultaneously and compare opening times related to individual components.

If it is possible you can zip both files and upload them.

now I cannot do immediatly the loading of the two sessions to find right trail.txt but  I briefly searched among old trial.txt

I noticed this:

- in the "35 minutes" session it still goes to look for some parts on the NAS (the one I suspected)

- so there are several seconds of "waiting" between the closing of a part and the opening of the next one that is on the network path, 2 ... 10 ...... 20 seconds

 

so there must be something that escapes me in the settings or that bypasses, I checked that:

- search path is unique in the "local" config

- all the paths inside the search.pro point to local folders

 

stupid question: some parts, even if saved and modified locally, are born as a copy of other parts from the network path, so can they keep some reference to the network path?

Hi,

do following test.

1.] look into trail file and find "problematic" part opened from NAS ... remember its name (I will use problem.prt)

2.] launch Creo

3.] File > Open > put problem.prt into File name field, click Open

4.] close Creo session

5.] open trail file and and check path to problem.prt

6.] if problem.prt is loaded from NAS then there is probably problem in search paths
