Unable to register Creo and Auto CAD with PDM Essentials 10.2 M030

[kchaithanya]

Hi all,

I'm trying to integrate Creo 3.0 M080 and Auto CAD 2016 with Windchill PDM Essentials 10.2 M030 (CPS13) but getting error " Invalid server location".

We've Windchill url like abc.xyz.com:81/Windchill. We're using port 81 for web server.

We're able to access windchill through browser with out any problem but  unable to do CAD integration.

I'd like to mention that we're not using VPN to access Windchill server and default browser for Creo is IE.

Kindly help me out.

Regards,

Krishna Chaithanya.

Try clearing all the browser and Creo caches. Also go through Apache error log and MS log, there should be some additional information on this.

Thanks

Hi Binesh,

Thanks for your reply. I'd cleared all browser caches. But, still  facing the same problem.

I've gone through Apache error log, there I found below errors..

Hi Krishna,

There is something wrong in the webserver configuration unless you see anything wrong in the method server logs. See this https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS22127

Hi Binesh,

I'd like to know whether the registration of Creo is possible With Windchill if we assign ports other than default(10002-10010). Because in my scenario, we've given another port range (10025-10035) as default ports are not available(here searched by netstat but could not find that range. Tried to open them but came to know that no fire wall is enable to block respective ports). So, Creo registration is not getting possible. Please clarify.

Hello Krishna,

How did you change the port number for Info engine? Do you have multiple method servers? Did you change it from the below Window?

Verify it in LDAP too

Could you compare the repositories in Task Delegate Administration with what I have below? I remember facing a similar issue while I was supporting a customer. Verify the repository type, webject processor and task processor

For LDAP adapters, this  repository type should be windchill-ldap

If you don't catch any differences - try increasing the Method Server to 2, this should create an additional adapter and see how the works (in wt.properties, wt.monitor.startMethodServer to 2, verify the syntax of the property)

Krishna,

Did Binesh's latest suggestion help? Were you able to get them registered?

Hi Lori Sood,

I could able to find that there is an error in Info Engine Configuration. When I've checked in Windchill>Site>Utilities>InfoEngine Administrator, it showing an error at Info Engine Adaptor. Finally I've tried to telnet 10002 port from client machine but could not able to do so. Realized that 10002 is not available. So searched for 10002 if used by any other application, but unable to find that range of ports in server(10002 to 10010). Then allocated other available port (other than 10002 to 10010) to Info Engine and the error in Info Engine is resolved.

But still registration is not possile as Creo is getting hanged while trying to register.

Regards,

Krishna

Krishna,

Would it be possible to use Fiddler to capture the network traffic that is occurring when you attempt to register the server?

Have you opened a tech support case for this?
