Hello.

Im looking for any informations about distributed batch in CREO Parametric 2.0. In Pro/engineer i see was a small free program wchich help convert in one operation few .drw

to, for example: pdf format.

So,

1. My company have license to CREO parametric 2.0, but i wonder if CREO 2 have this type of module, (when yes), does my company have to

purchase another license for DB?

2. So second thing is, how to install it? Or maybe i can use some different optsion to do a batch processing some drw to pdf?

Hi,

if Creo Distributed Batch is installed then there is ptcdbatch.bat file in Creo2_LOADPOINT\Creo 2.0\Parametric\bin drirectory.

In Czech environment I had to modify this file - I added the following line at the beginning of the file:

set PRO_LANG=english

When you launch ptcdbatch.bat file the following window will open.

Using UI you can define required action. DSM = Standalone enables you to run a batch on your PC, only. You do not need to buy special batch license.

On the other side, if you want to run batch on specific PC in your network, then you have to buy special batch license.

Creo Distributed Batch needs to be install as additional feature in Creo 2.0. This is available under Customize > Additional features when installing Creo 2.0.

        Many thanks for reply.

        But whats happen when my comapny dosent have license on each Computer, but have a floating licenses wchich

        every PC (where is installation of Creo), "download" from our license server?

        In this situation also i can use standalone license? (i want use DB only on one PC where i currently work on creo installation, i dont need use DB on network)

        So second thing is when i dont have a administration pr. on my computer, it is neccesary to reinstal creo for install DB?

        Hi,

        Distributed Batch is free (no license required). "Standalone" in Martin's reply is for service manager, if you don't have advance licenses for service manager you can use Standalone. You can simply execute the Distributed batch referring the steps in earlier reply.

        If you didn't install distributed batch earlier, you can install distributed batch from installation media (using setup.exe)
