Configuring the Worker Daemon to automatically start when a user logs in
Version: Windchill 12.1
Use Case: Configured the Worker Daemon to automatically start when a user logs in. Followed steps mention in PTC article - CS93677. Steps: 1. Create a Windows shortcut on the user's desktop for the WorkerDaemon.exe: The WorkerDaemon.exe is located in the i486_nt\obj sub-folder of the adapters installation For example, here: C:\PTC\creo_view_adapters\i486_nt\obj\WorkerDaemon.exe Note: Starting Creo View Adapter 6.0, WorkerDaemon.exe location has been changed to C:\PTC\creo_view_adapters\x86e_win64\obj\WorkerDaemon.exe 2. Right-click on the shortcut and select Properties 3. Modify the shortcut's Target: Append the port number on which the Worker Daemon should listen for connections from the WVS Worker Agent For example: C:\PTC\creo_view_adapters\i486_nt\obj\WorkerDaemon.exe 601 Where 601 is the port number that the Worker Daemon will listen on and the Worker Agent should be configured to connect to 4. Right Click on Start menu > Run and: Type shell:startup and press OK 5. The Startup folder location opens in Windows Explorer, e.g. C:\Users\\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup 6. Copy the WorkerDaemon.exe shortcut you created at Step 1 and paste it into the Startup folder 7. Verify that the Worker Daemon will launch automatically on windows startup by checking the system configuration: 7-1. Click Start > Run 7-2. Enter msconfig in the Run field and click OK 7-3. Select the Startup tab and verify that the PTC Creo View Worker Daemon entry is there. Issue 1 : Can't see the Startup tab to verify that the PTC Creo View Worker Daemon entry. Issue 2 : Tried using registry editor(using service account), it allows CAD Worker to auto start in foreground but when I tried to start CAD Worker, it gets failed.
