Configure the Dispatcher client for default translators
Configure the dispatcher client for CAD dataset specific direct and indirect translators
Direct translators are connected to Teamcenter and can upload and download files without using any Dispatcher APIs. They handle the extraction of translation data and the loading of translated data back into Teamcenter. Examples of NX direct translators include nxtocgmdirect, nxtopvdirect, and nxtransdirect. These translators use Teamcenter user credentials specified through translator-specific configurations to perform translations and upload the translated files to Teamcenter. Indirect translators are not connected to Teamcenter. Instead, they use TaskPrep class to extract and download the translation files and the DatabaseOperation class to upload the files back to Teamcenter. For more information, see What is the extract-transform-load (ETL) model? The Teamcenter user credentials specified in the DISP_ROOT/DispatcherClient/Conf/Service.properties file are used by the indirect translators for this process. Note After uploading, Teamcenter applies a release status using the ETS_released_status_type_names preference. In the case of CAD dataset specific translators, the direct translators do not use the Service.DataSetOwner, Service.StoreJTFilesInSourceVol, and Service.UpdateExistingVisualizationData properties in the Service.properties file. Instead, they have their own logic to configure these properties and load the results back to Teamcenter. This is also true in the case of the ETS_released_status_type_names preference.
