We have a process which runs Pro/E in background on a server (actually a Dell workstation running IIS7 webserver), using a trail file to load a drawing and regenerate the model, reading the Pro/Program inputs from a file.
The basic procedure is an Excel workbook uses VB to start a web browser, and the server runs a Perl script which starts Creo via Win32::Process::Create.
With Wildfire, this worked fine, but now that we've moved to Creo, it crashes (out of sequence error) when it gets to the Pro/Program filename prompt. The "output" trail file doesn't even show the filename or any error messages about it; it just goes O.O.S. on the next command.
The weird thing is that if I sit down at the workstation, fire up Creo and play the trail file, it works perfectly.
I probably should mention that I did record a new trail file with Creo.
I've tried putting the file in the startup folder, the working folder, and a folder in the search path. I've also tried specifying the full path, including the drive letter. All of these work interactively, but not in background.
Any clues?
