I have a fairly large assembly checked in, I have removed all issues on the model and it fully regenerates without any errors or server warnings
However when I check it in, we cannot get the creo view to work, it works on everything else in the assembly, but not the top level, we just get a JOB FAILED
here is the log we get (names have been changed to protect the innocent...):

I thought initially that it was failing because it was not regenerating cleanly but this did not work
We are trying to get the creo view file over to manufacturing (do not have creo parametric)
Thanks! |
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, so the problem ended up being the CAD worker was running on the same server as a bunch of other engineering tools, so it was running out of ram, becoming unresponsive and would fail.
Short term solution was to increase the timeout number on the recipe file, this helped on almost all of the larger assemblies
But only recently did the MCAD team move the CAD worker to its own machine, and this has all but eliminated failures, granted if somebody checks in a garbage model with all sorts of errors it will still fail
Take a look at the trail file in the folder of that CAD worker from the same time period. See what it has to say. Keep in mind that if the assembly has placement failures, missing components, or failing features, it won't publish and this is the message you will get back.
Hey Tom
Thanks, I thought it was an error with some of the library released parts which had relations that were causing havoc because they couldnt be checkedout, but after I fixed all those parts, the top level assembly regenerated and saved cleanly with no errors and its still failing for some reason
Are the files being pulled directly from Windchill or did someone do a backup from Creo Parametric for the publishing?
What CAM software are you running? If Creo, then why do the CreoView file?
What file output format do you have the CreoView publisher creating for your CAM system?
It looks like the CreoView publishing, which is Creo Parametric, cannot find all of the component files of the assembly.
How can you do the publishing if you do not have Creo Parametric?
Hi Ben
this is all directly from Windchill
CreoView is what Manufacturing is using to develop work instructions
we dont use any PTC CAM software
Hi Javier,
Did you end up finding out what was causing this? We just started getting the same error.
Anything you remember would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi @sethkulppi
@TomU has had good advice - take a look at the trail file in the folder of that CAD worker from the same time period.
The trail file will show you what is going on in the Creo session, and when the assembly can not retrieve the model.
For example, you could upgrade Creo to newer version but the server Creo worker is still on the old version. Then new models can not be retrieved.
