We are about to install some remote file servers. I see PTC has configured
Windchill to automatically patch remote file servers. Its enabled from this
property:
wt.intersvrcom.autoManageCCS=true
Afterthe master server is updated withpatches, the patch files are copied
to the remote servers, and are automatically installed. After reading up on
this feature, I'm not sure this is what we want to do. It seems complicated and
a little risky. I think we'd rather do the patching manually.
Has anyone had any expericence with this ? Do you let it patch
automatically, or do you disable that property by setting it to FALSE ?

I personally like to be able to control when the patches are pushed out, and when we restart the servers, so I manually patch. It is a very easy process - copy the ccsdsu.zip to the file server, and execute the ant script install_ccsdsu.

We also manually patch our replicas. One of the main reasons we do this is because
when it is done automatically, it seems to copy the CcsDsu.zip and md5 files
sequentially. We make the process much faster by copying to the replicas with a
batch script that starts each copy at the same time instead of waiting for the
previous to finish. It still requires us to restart each replica, but saves a
lot of time in the long run.
