Dispatcher: OOTB Translator Catalog

78 services ship registered in Module/conf/translator.xml. All are isactive="false" except tozipfile. Enabling one is a config edit, not an install.

Read this catalog for two reasons: to find an existing service before building a new one, and to find the closest analogue to copy when you do build one.

The eight with a wrapperclass

These are the only OOTB services that needed Module-side Java. Everything else is pure config plus a script. Useful as a proportion when someone claims a custom translator requires custom code.

What the long tail tells you

emailpolling, escalationmgmt, auditmgmt, qsearchprocessqueue and asyncservice are all registered as "translators" and none of them translate anything. Siemens themselves use Dispatcher as a generic queued job runner. That is the strongest available evidence that using it for non-CAD work is intended, not a hack.

tozipfile being the only active service is also the intended smoke test: the admin guide's own verification step is "verify Dispatcher components by performing a doc to zip file translation".

Script inventory

DispatcherTranslators-WIN.zip unpacks to Module/Translators/<service>/ containing a launch script and a Readme.txt per service. Several also carry a Perl script holding the real logic (plmxmltojt.pl, nxclone.pl, store_and_forward.pl, qlcreate.pl, populatefsc.pl, simpgen.pl, mmvindexgen.pl, bc_clone.pl) and a few carry config (simpgen.config, mmvindexgen.config, jt2jpeg.config, ConfigMap.properties, utilityjt_options.xml, nx_options.xsl).

There is also a shared appendcpath.bat at the Translators/ root for classpath assembly.

Each service's Readme.txt follows a fixed template: Introduction, Prerequisites, Licenses Needed, Installation Instructions, Translator Configuration, Verification, Usage, Running the Translator Standalone. The "Running the Translator Standalone" section is the one to read first on any service you are enabling.
