Enabling batch processing of publishing pages

Teamcenter batch processing of publishing pages uses Dispatcher infrastructure for scheduling create and update features. You must install the PublishBatch translator to take advantage of this feature. This enables the PublishBatch service.

There are several prerequisites for running the batch feature.

• The translator is installed on a Windows machine.

• VisAutomationApp, Microsoft Visio, FMS file client cache (FCC), and the Teamcenter service-oriented architecture (SOA) client are installed on the translator machine. VisAutomationApp is installed automatically when you install Lifecycle Visualization.

• The startPublishBatch.bat file is installed in a directory that is specified during installation of the PublishBatch translator. Each setting in this file must be modified as specified in the file.

• The transmodule.properties file in the module/conf directory has a MaximumTasks setting that defaults to 3. This defines the maximum number of instances of publish batch tasks that can run simultaneously. Do not increase this value above 3.

• The clients and Dispatcher Server should point to the common staging directory, and both should have read/write permissions to that directory.
