Description

  • Creo Parametric while running in service mode doesn't delete the workspace that was created to run the temporary analysis
  • Pre-requisites:
    1. Creo Parametric  should be configured to run as a service , See About Creo as a Service for Analysis
    2. Checkin the data to Windchill PDMLink, Retrieve the checked in data and publish it to Thingworx
    3. Related Thing and needed properties for the Thing should be created based on the Creo model
    4. Analysis Event should be created and respective mapping should be done for the input and output properties
  • Steps To reproduce the issue:
    1. Go to Creo Replay Analysis Manager in Thingworx
    2. Enter a replay name
    3. Select the Analysis Event created for the model against the Replay Event picker
    4. Set the Replay Step Frequency to: On Source Event
    5. Set the needed time range and select the host on which Creo is configured to run as a service
    6. Select Continuous on Replay Mode
    7. Click on Start Replay and provide the Windchill authentication information in the authentication pop-up. See result 7.
    8. Once the results are calculated, check the Workspaces under the given product in which the CAD data resides. Also check if xtop.exe is running on the host machine
    9. Observation: The workspace that was created to run the temporary analysis isnt deleted.This leaves behind a running xtop.exe in the background
