I recently installed two Workgroup Managers, SolidWorks & AutoCAD, and in the process I went from (1) Method Server to (6) Method Servers. I was told that the WCA ran and it is what decided I needed 6 method servers based off of our Hardware Available. Well I wouldn't have an issue with it, if it wasn't for the fact that now there are separate log files for each Method Server.
This creates a huge headache when searching through logs to sort out an issue. Especially when PTC Tech Support has you turn on very intrusive logging and it creates a new 9MB file every 5-10 seconds...
Now Tech Support told me to go in to %WCHOME%\utilities\wca and edit the configurator.properties file, so that the max number of method servers was 2.
I also was told to change the windchillconfigurator.xconf file property of
"<Property name="wt.manager.monitor.start.MethodServer" overridable="true"
targetFile="codebase/wt.properties"
value="2"/>
After restarting the server it still starts up 6. I have been fighting this issue for a while now and just reaching out to other people for help now.
I can't find where else the amount of Method Servers is set. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
