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.

        Martin,


        Can we access this function through VB API and perform required action?

        Hi,

         

        I'm trying to run Creo Distributed Batch for the files stored in Windchill workspace and select Stand alone for a server. For some reason, it starts a process but fails no matter what tast I choose.

        Should I run Creo in background when using the Distributed batch or do other things?

         

        Thanks,

        Michael
