Hi all,
We are running Windchill 10.2 , and we have setup around 10 CAD workers, for solidworks 2014. 5 of them are Virtual Machines - VDI and we have the remaining 5 as physical machines, these physical machines are only as backup CAD workers.
In the event that no publishing happens during holidays, then these VDIs are automatically released and become inactive, then suddenly when the CAD document checkin happens, these CAD workers wont fire again.
My question is whether VDI as CAD worker is supported / recommended by PTC?
Are there 3rd party publishing controllers that can be hosted in a single server machine, rather than 5 CAD workers?
we are looking at a robust publishing engine that is not as fragile as the multiple CAD workers, time out issues, start up issues, license issues..all those headaches.
Thanks
Hari
