Published: 2020-03-25

Description

• ​​DWG-files cannot be published in Windchill PDMLink

• This requires a Autocad-custom worker (pds-worker)

Cause

• Java path is changed / updated, so the start_acad.bat file is not finding the java.exe-file which it need:
  
  
  

Resolution

1. Check agent.ini for the search-path for the AUTOCAD-worker, e.g.
   

   [worker3]
   distributed=false
   autostart=true
   host=selid-v-0014.kmtworld.com
   autobusystop=60
   autoidlestop=600
   starttime=30
   startfromlocal=FALSE
   autoerrorstop=true
   hosttype=nt
   remotepath=D:\worker_tmp
   exe=D:\ptc\pds-custom-worker\bin\start_acad.bat
   localpath=\\<workerhostname>\worker_tmp
   password=
   maxinstances=1
   shapetype=AUTOCAD
   prompt=
   username=
   port=601

2. ​​Update the start_acad.bat on <workerhostname> with search path to the new java.exe directory, e.g.:
   "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_221\bin\java.exe" ..........

3. Republish failed dwg-files..
