Enable BatchPrint and PublishBatch translators

BatchPrint service The BatchPrint Dispatcher client handles calls from the rich client to process the batch printing of files. This translator processes batch print requests submitted by the BatchPrint Dispatcher client. The batchprint.bat (for Windows) or batchprint.sh (for Linux, Linux, and Mac OS) file invokes the Vis Print application to print the selected files. Prerequisites: Vis Home Path location, that is, the path to the visualization directory while installing BatchPrint using TEM or Deployment Center. Vis License location while installing BatchPrint using TEM or Deployment Center. PublishBatch translator Prerequisites: The Dispatcher infrastructure for scheduling create and update features. The translator is supported on Windows only. VisAutomationApp, Microsoft Visio, FMS file client cache (FCC), and the Teamcenter SOA client installed on the translator machine. Note The VisAutomationApp is installed automatically when you install Lifecycle Visualization. For more information about installing Lifecycle Visualization and MS Visio, see the Teamcenter lifecycle visualization Install Guide and the Microsoft Visio Online Help, respectively. 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 setting called MaximumTasks 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 with read/write permissions to the directory. (Optional) Open the startPublishBatch.bat file and add the –log option to the TRANS_PATH\tcpublish_batch attribute. Teamcenter then adds detailed progress and error entries to the task’s log file. The startPublishBatch.bat file is installed in a directory that is specified during installation of the PublishBatch translator. Follow the instructions in the file to add the –log option. Teamcenter stores the log files in the directory you specify during installation. Enable the translators You can use TEM or Deployment Center to install the translator or manually edit the translator.xml file to enable the translator. The following is an example of how to edit the translator.xml file to enable the translator. Procedure Open the translator.xml file from the Dispatcher_Root\Module\conf directory. Set the isactive attribute to true to activate this translator. Note By default, this attribute is set to false. Open the translator.bat (Windows) or translator.sh (Linux) file from the Dispatcher_Root\Module\Translators\translator_name directory and edit the CHANGE_ME tags. For more information about CHANGE_ME tags, see the .bat file for the translator.
