About Managing XPGClientServices

XPGClientService establishes connection between Gateway Server and Engineering Adapter for X-PDM.

The XPGClientService handles the instantiation of the XPDMImportExportBatch in these different scenarios:

X-PDM to 3DEXPERIENCE platform mirror events:

3DEXPERIENCE platform to X-PDM mirror events:

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform Gateway can dispatch XPDMImportExportBatch processes to one or many 3DEXPERIENCE platform systems.

For each of these machines, the XPGClientService must be setup. For more information, see Configuring XPGClientServices.

Notes:
  • Windows service monitors the following processes:
    • CATStart.exe (launched by XPGClientServiceStarter.exe)
    • java.exe

    If any of the two processes exits or terminates, a report is generated at Windows Event Viewer and the Windows service stops. Any other error occurring in these processes are not reported to the Event Viewer.

  • The XPGClientService is monitored by the Windows service. When the XPGClientService is not started or stopped during the exchange, an error is reported to the Windows Event Viewer. This includes start time port conflict of XPGClientService with any other services including XPG service and the Windows service is stopped.
  • You cannot pause and resume this Windows service.
