PTC changed the architecture of Windchill starting 10.0,  moved the external tomcat to an in-process embedded tomcat within method server. In pre- windchill 10 releases, if you had multiple method servers, one tomcat process handled the traffic to multiple method servers. Now each of the method servers has its own embedded tomcat.

Thank you

Binesh

    Thank You Binesh..

    Actually I am new to Windchill PLM and sorry to ask such silly questions.

    And just for my curiosity i want to know some basic things about Windchill PDMLInk 9.0 like:

    • What is the significance of Server Manager? And How we can manage Windchill server using it?
    • What is significance of Method Server? Is it managing the load on server? Can we have multiple Method Server for a Server Manager?

    Also I want to know the basic architecture and data model of WIndchill? How it works? What is the sequence? and Who is responding whom?

    Can you please help me to understand it.

    Thanks - Vasant

    If you are trying to understand Windchill and its architecture, take a training class.

    One Server Manager controls multiple Method Servers.

    Method Servers are the communication mechanism between the users and Windchill.
