Edit or create the file auth.properties in windchill 10 installation directory ( root\...\PHSI\product\ptc\Windchill_10.0\Windchill\

Create a text file, put auth= thewcadminaccountloggin:thewcadminpassword

And change extension by renaming the total filename with auth.properties.

This will identify the permission needed to exchange with the server from worker. There’s a possibility to encrypt it.

Do you want to configure the worker from the main server or to set up recipe on the worker ?

Assuming your worker is apart from the main server

On the worker machine you must :

Install Creo or proE

Install adapter

execute proe2pv_config for setting up the connection to the main server (\… \creo_view_adapaters\bin\proe2pv_config.exe )

This will create your proebatch,worker and so; Don't register the worker Since the connexion is not yet defined from the server side.

Create a shared folder on the worker for exchanging content with the main server

On the main server

remote :edit or create the auth.properties file in windchill root (this allows the worker to exchange with the main server)

web portal : go to site utilities \ worker agent administration \ configure and add a new worker

fill all parameters

click apply, save, reload the cad worker is registered.

Back to your worker

reexecute proe2pv_config, load an already configured setting and click on test server.

The worker should work now.

this are the big steps, you should refine by using your help menu from the server. It's providing you with the details.
