Good morning ,

Today I provide customer service, and we use VPN to connect to Windchill, at a certain time it disconnects and the next day we have to restart CREO, would there be any way to create some Script or GPO that I can let work offline? and then the other day leave it Online?

 

Best answer by ScottMorris

you should be able to have people reconnect to VPN the next day and simply "reconnect" Creo. i'm assuming your license server is on the VPN along with the Windchill server. once the VPN connection is re-established, Creo will connect to the license server and Windchill. if someone has changed the server settings to work offline, they will need to uncheck this option to reconnect to Windchill.

 

if someone want to work offline, they simply check the Work Offline button as shown in your image.

 

if you want to automate with a script, can you share some more details about what the script will do?

I believe you can construct a Creo macro to do this. Purposefully going offline is a user decision so they can choose to disconnect and keep working. You would need a macro to do the reverse to bring them back online and sync workspaces.

    i like @avillanueva idea, create a Creo mapkey to go Offline and to go Online. people can enter the mapkey when needed. i am not aware of a good solution to link the mapkey to a given time of day.
