Read through some of the comments in these threads when I had the same issue.

Can you run ProePublish from the Adapter setup folder? Creo should launch if the setup is right.

Did you set the user in Auth.properties?

Did you set the mworker.exe.whitelist.prefixes?

If you start the proeworker batch file on the server and then start the publisher, will that publish a file?

Hi, I didn't have adapter set up before but was working fine since Creo is also installed in the same machine.

I dont have any of the files you mentioned above, except for Auth.properties, which I did create since the background method server was throwing an exception

definitely look up errors from the log file in the ptc support portal. lots of good information on how to diagnose in their KB; the worker daemon service, the creo license, the status of the worker in windchill. since your file transfer was successful, its probably not a communications issue (ip addresses in the hosts file). definitely check the status of the worker(s) from the site admin page in windchill to make sure they are online.

are you connecting to a single CAD worker machine with a single CAD worker instance or multiple CAD worker machines with multiple CAD worker instances?

Hi, Thank you, This is a server that was working few days ago and its a sandbox, I didn't have a CAD worker of PROE type set up earlier, but this was working fine since the Creo was installed on the same server. If you have Creo with a valid license, it does not require a CAD Worker agent to be set up in windchill.
