Enable the AsyncService translator

The AsyncService translator independently processes asynchronous requests constructed by the server using Teamcenter service-oriented architecture (SOA) native C++ framework in background mode. Skip these steps if you use TEM or Deployment Center to enable the translators. Procedure Open the translator.xml file in the Dispatcher_Root\Module\conf directory. Copy Set the isactive attribute to true to activate this translator. Edit the CHANGE_ME tags in the asyncservice.bat (Windows) or asyncservice.sh (Linux) file in the Dispatcher_Root\Module\Translators\asyncservice directory. For more information, see the respective files. Create the input required for this translator. Example 1: Create an item revision, right-click the item revision, and send it to Structure Manager. Select File→Duplicate and select the Run in Background option. Example 2: Create a workflow task in Workflow Designer. When you create this workflow task, be sure to select the Process in Background option in the Attributes dialog. The system creates an input.txt file. You can use this file as the input for this translator. From the command prompt, run the translator in standalone mode to verify whether it is working properly. For information about running the translator in standalone mode, from a command prompt, change to the Dispatcher_Root\Module\Translators\asyncservice directory and call asyncservice.bat -help (Windows) or asyncservice.sh -help (Linux). To run this translator in standalone mode, you must specify the full path name of the file that holds the async request arguments by editing the asyncservice.bat file. Example: Copy asyncservice.bat C:\Dispatcher\input.txt C:\Dispatcher\result output.txt ARG1 is a full path name of the file which holds the async request arguments. ARG2 is the location of the result files (log, output, etc). ARG3 is the output file name that the async invoker program generates. Where C:\Dispatcher\input.txt is the full path name of the file used as the input for this translator and is generated by running the workflow task (step 4) and C:\Dispatcher\result\output.txt is the output file that the AsyncService translator generates.
