Summary - Creo 1.0 M030 won't run

[dgschaefer]

Aha, we have a winner. It was the PSF files. We have two license
configurations but instead of entering in the info to create the PSF
files at install time on each machine, I keep a copy of the PSF & BAT
files on the server and copy them into the bin folder after install,
removing the default PSF & BAT. The PSF files contain the ship code:



SHIPCODE=M030

CREO_COMMON_FILES=Common Files\M030



The PSF files I have on disk were from F000, so they did not work with
M030 on the laptop. On my machine, I had installed F000 and upgraded to
M030 and the PSF files got revised when I upgraded. When I copied the
F000 PSF files on disk into my Creo 1.0 M030 bin folder, I got the same
result that I had on the laptop, Creo wouldn't launch. When I put the
M030 files back, everything worked again.



So now I get to keep a set of PSF files for each new build. Yay.

Reckon PTC think us admins are getting to good so throwing us a few curve
balls to get the ol' grey matter working again

Thank goodness for the user forums

This is one of the reason why I have made my .psf files parametric and substitute the content with the correct build when copying to the local machine at startup.
// PTC - PSF file: parametric
//
PRODUCT=Creo Parametric
DESC=Creo 1 _CREOBUILD_ (default)
SHIPCODE=_CREOBUILD_
CREO_COMMON_FILES=Common Files\_CREOBUILD_

Great, thanks Bjarne.

Do you also have some scripting in the batch file to determine the latest installed build code in the Common Files folder and set the CREOBUILD variable automatically?

Kind regards,

Olaf Corten

Hi Olaf,
I use the Find And Replace Text tool to replace the token in the copied .psf file.
See usage and download here:

The parameter for update locale files is just nice for system admins testing new stuff.

This is the line in my batch file that I use to find the build folder for Creo:



for /f "delims=" %%A in ('dir /a:d /b " C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 1.0\Common Files\") do set BUILD=%%A



I can’t remember if that’s what David Haigh is using or not. I do remember liking what he was doing, but don’t remember if I changed mine or not.

Here’s what I’m using right now:

tskill creoagent
del "%APPDATA%\PTC\Creo\Platform\2.6\ServerMgr\.srv_mgr_db.fldx"
for /F "tokens=3 delims=\ usebackq" %%A IN (`findstr "%%cf%%" "C:\ptc\Creo 2.0\Parametric\bin\ptcstatus.bat"`)DO set CREOVERSION=%%A
xcopy "%USERPROFILE%\pro\creo_2_home\Configs\loadpoint\*" "C:\ptc\Creo 2.0\Common Files\%CREOVERSION%\text" /y /r
xcopy "%USERPROFILE%\pro\creo_2_home\Configs\user\*" "%USERPROFILE%\pro\creo_2_home" /y /r
attrib +R "C:\ptc\Creo 2.0\Common Files\%CREOVERSION%\text\config.pro"
attrib +R "C:\ptc\Creo 2.0\Common Files\%CREOVERSION%\text\config.sup"
set PTC_WF_ROOT=%USERPROFILE%\pro\creo_2_home\PDMLink_Cache\PTC\ProENGINEER
start "LLNL" "C:\ptc\Creo 2.0\Parametric\bin\parametric.exe"

This assumes you have the config.pro & config.sup in a specific location

Thanks that's part of what I wanted.     
     
But wouldn't it be nice if we could use the determined %CREOVERSION% in the .psf file?     
Than we can have one generic psf file for every Creo build.     
     
But unfortunately this does not work:     
DESC=Creo 1 %CREOVERSION% (default)     
SHIPCODE=%CREOVERSION%     
CREO_COMMON_FILES=Common Files\%CREOVERSION%     
And this neither     
ENV=DESC=Creo 1 %CREOVERSION% (default)     
ENV=SHIPCODE=%CREOVERSION%     
ENV=CREO_COMMON_FILES=Common Files\%CREOVERSION%     
Creo just won't start even though CREOVERSION has been correctly set.     
     
Kind regards,
