Also come to know that .SAV file is not being created in C:\PTC directory but previously it was successfully created after publishing anything.

Please help me as soon as possible as it stopped us to work further.

What version of WIndchill??

10.0, 10,1, 10,2 and 11.0 all have m030 builds!

Has something changed on your publishing machine?

Is the proeworker being launched? I have been having a problem for 6 months where the proeworker will not be launched from the server when a job is submitted and then failing to publish the file. If I log on to the publishing machine and manually start proeworker, I can publish all day long with out any issues. PTC has had 3 calls opened on this issue and we cannot find why the XML code will not launch the proeworker. This started last fall out of the blue, no changes to the Windchill servers or the publishing machine, not even OS patches. It has me and PTC confused, so I just closed the calls and live with manually starting proeworker daily.

I am using 11.0 M030 Windchill version. The main problem is Windchill stopped to publish anything. 

Normally Windchill is creating SAV object file and also creates publish.txt file inside Downloads folder which covers all information like which transactions got successful and which are not. And my PLM JAR file reads this SAV object file and creates XML to publish.

But here with my Windchill 11.0 M030, SAV object file is created but publish.txt file is not created.

Also my PLM Connector JAR can't read those JAR SAV object created by Windchill. Means something goes wrong with it but don't know what it is.
