Using process daemons

Process daemons are small programs used to perform system processes. Use Teamcenter process daemons to manage system events, configure data sharing, monitor user subscriptions to system events, and monitor user inboxes for overdue tasks. Process daemons include the following: Action Manager Dispatches events that have a specified execution time or subscription events that have failed to process. Subscription Manager Monitors the event queue for TcEvent objects. Task Manager Checks a user's inbox for tasks that have passed their due date. If such a task is found, the daemon notifies the delegated recipients and marks the task as late. The frequency of the daemon's monitoring is controlled by setting the TASK_MONITOR_SLEEP_TIME preference. To kill the daemon at any time, create an empty file as TC_ROOT\logs\taskmonitor_graceful_exit.tmp. Tessellation Manager Tessellates UGMASTER and UGALTREP datasets to the JT (DirectModel) dataset and attaches the JT dataset back to the item revision and UGMASTER and UGALTREP datasets. Installing the Tessellation service is required to create the tessellated representations in Repeatable Digital Validation (RDV) that enable users of the Design Context application to quickly visualize components in context. The tessellated representations are created during the workflow release process, ensuring that JT files of the DirectModel datasets are updated as the NX files are released. Shared Metadata Cache Service Synchronizes the shared server metadata memory cache. You can install process daemons from Teamcenter Environment Manager (TEM) during installation or maintenance. In the Features panel, under Server Enhancements > Database Daemons select the daemon features to install. Note You can provide additional security for process daemons by placing passwords in an encrypted file. The daemons must then be configured to run under an operating system user ID with read permissions on this password file.
