Hi guys,

 

I am trying to patch the remote file servers but this command "ant -f install_ccsdsu.xml" executed from Windchill Shell does not complete successfully 

 

I stopped all the services except WindchillDS. what am I missing?

 

E:\PTC\Windchill_11.1\Windchill\bin\CCSTools>ant -f install_ccsdsu.xml
Buildfile: E:\PTC\Windchill_11.1\Windchill\bin\CCSTools\install_ccsdsu.xml

Thank you TomU

 

I just managed to installed the patch without reinstalling the replica server installation. It seems like the only missing step was to set the file servers as READ ONLY

After that, I re-ran the command and everything worked as expected

Something still has a reference to the windchill.exe process.  If you have it configured to run as a service, then set the service to start manually (not automatically) and reboot the server.  This should free up whatever is hanging on to it.  After the reboot, follow the instructions @VladimirN  referenced.

 

Here are the simplified instructions I keep on each of my remote file servers:

=== Windchill 12.1 CCS Update ===

Stop Windchill (method server and web server)

Place CcsDsu.zip in E:\ptc\Windchill_12.1\Windchill\CCSTools\update folder.

Go to the directory and then run the command:

cd E:\ptc\Windchill_12.1\Windchill\ant\bin\
ant -f E:\ptc\Windchill_12.1\Windchill\bin\CCSTools\install_ccsdsu.xml

I just did an update to 12.1.2.0 and now I'm having this same problem on all my remote file servers.  A reboot doesn't fix it.  I'm 99% sure the windchill.exe process is not in use because I can rename it with no complaints from the operating system.  Something else is going on...
