Enable translators

Run TEM or Deployment Center to install Dispatcher components as per your deployment strategy. Run TEM or Deployment Center to install each translator on the appropriate module as per your deployment strategy. Alternatively, to manually configure the translators, locate the Dispatcher Server software distribution image for your platform and copy the Translators directory to the Dispatcher_Root\Module directory on each module machine. Note You must copy the Translators directory to the Dispatcher_Root\Module directory. The configuration assumes absolute and relative addresses based on this directory. Install the required software as per specifications. For example, some CAD translators require the CAD software to be installed on the dispatcher machine. You can follow the installation procedures provided by the software vendor to install the required software for CAD parts, CAD drawings, postprocessor and file translator. Note Some CAD systems have a file path length limitation. The module must be installed in a root-level directory to avoid this problem. Install the translator. Each translator has specific installation instructions. Refer to the related documentation for translator-specific installation instructions. Ensure that each translator is properly licensed. Before integrating the translator with the Dispatcher Server, perform a manual test of the translation locally. Note If the manual test is successful, it is easier to isolate issues specific to the file server, the scheduler, and the module. Back up the translator.xml file, modify it to activate each installed translator, and then associate each translator with a translator module. Caution Incorrect modifications to the translator.xml file can cause some or all translators to fail. Some translators require additional configuration, such as setting batch file environment variables or tessellation configuration. After implementing each translator, run the dispatcher module to include the translator so that you can progressively troubleshoot for any file translation errors. Repeat the same steps for each translator you want to enable.
