Windchill CAD Worker

Hi,

Is it possible to programmatically check the status of a CAD worker (whether it is online or offline) using the Windchill API? If yes, could you please let me know which API is required for this?

Additionally, I am using the doPublish API to create STEP data representations from an EPMDocument. Currently, I have only one CAD worker configured for STEP translation, so the process is straightforward. However, if the system has three or four CAD workers configured (e.g., STEP, JT, IGES, etc.) and all of them are online, how does the doPublish API determine which CAD worker should be used for generating the STEP translation? How does Windchill select the specific worker for that translation job?

Best regards,
Shrikant Bhosle

Shrikant,

Regarding CAD worker status, article CS340037 might be helpful to you. Article CS330870 might be relevant to your second question.
