Methodserver

[cc-2]

Hello

surely a very easy question for the Windchill guru.

We are supposed to have more than one methodserver on our Windchill system 9.1M050 running on Windows 2008R2. How can I check this.

I looked at the task manager but could not find any processes called methodserver.

thank you

It will show up as a java.exe process under the most usual configuration.
You would need to rename java.exe and create copies of it in same directory
with copy/paste command, then change wt.properties to allow you to see a
server specific name like fgms.exe for foreground methodserver, bgms.exe for
background methodserver or sm.exe for server manager.

You can view the MS log filename, the last four digits are the PID of the
java process. In the task manager you can simply check if the java.exe
process of those PIDs is running.

Hello

thank you very much for your prompt replies.

I have noticed a lot of java.exe running (6 in total). So I take that is the methodservers are one of those

Thanks

You could just look at the server status page (Site -> Utilities ->
Server Status) since this is R9.1 (or higher).

Of course method servers won't show up here until they register with
their server managers, but that's an appropriate measure in many cases.

To check if you are configured for multiple method servers, run this line from a Windchill shell on your server.

Xconfmanager -d wt.manager.monitor.start.MethodServer will return how many foreground servers you have scheduled to start.
Xconfmanager -d wt.manager.monitor.start.BackgroundMethodServer will return how many background servers

Thank you,
