Multiple caches problem.

[ptc-5711568]

Hello,

Me and my colleagues have had this issue for some time now.

Everytime we open several instances of ProE with PDM Link, the application opens up in a different cache that is created on our C:\ drive: "PROD", "PROD_1", "PROD_2" etc.

Is there any way we can control in which cache to open ProE, or is there a way to switch between the caches? Or in fact could we have just one fixed cache everytime we open ProE?

This is very frustating because when we're modifying a part and we need to have the original opened up separately for troubleshooting with another ProE session, we cant find the latest Workspace because it's in a different cache.

Also when we start work again it's very hard of keeping track in which Workspace we worked in the past, if it was in a different cache, and where exactly is the latest saved version.

We are using Creo Elements(WF5) M210 64bit, with PDMLink 10.0 and we will upgrade to 10.2.

Thank you in advance.

Each session of Pro/E MUST be connected to a unique cache folder. The location can be set with a config.pro option. If tyou use the same cache folder for all sessions, you run the chance of corrupting a workspace by modifying a file from 2 sessions of Pro/E.

It is possible to share workspace cache between multiple Pro/E sessions with caveats. The two major ones are as follows:

1. You must be using WF4 M070+ with WC 9.1 M010+ OR WF 5.0 F000+ with WC 9.1 M020+

2. You must connect to the cache as the same user in all of your Pro/E sessions
