Assembly fails to publish

I am having some issues with getting a couple of assembly files to publish. I am guessing when we get to putting these files into a drawing, the publishing times will increase even more and still fail. Trying to get some parameters set so we can publish these drawing later in the week.

I have increased the time outs to short 600 and the long to 5400.

I have increased the publish.cadtimeout.assembly to 15000.

 

Any suggestions beyond increasing these numbers again? I will increase them later.

 

Windchill 11.0 m030 CPS16

Creo 4.0 m110

Would it be possible to investigate reason why these assemblies take long to generate representation? 

- Is there any crash? look for any traceback.log file in worker configuration directory. If it is crash do raise it with PTC Tech Support. 

- Does it take too long to generate thumbnail? look in worker log file where last message shall be "Generating Thumbnails". In such case you restrict thumbnail generation for such assemblies using Thumbnail & Publish Control. 

- If above things does not work then log a case with Tech support and attach worker, helper & job monitor logs for further investigation.

I have increased the publish.cadtimeout.assembly to 18000.

Short timeout is 900.

Long timeout is 12000.

 

The file is failing after 18000 seconds!

It is only an assembly of other sub-assemblies, which are electronic boxes with boards and such in them.

No system crashes, just a long time generating the Thumbnail.

There are 2 issues that both cause the overall publishing to fail.

Issue 1 -

I have added my 3 problem files to the do not publish thumbnail list, so I will see what happens.
