NX nxtransdirect Dispatcher translator to run as dcproxy user with -pf option

We are trying to configure NXTRANSDIRECT to run as dcproxy user and using a -PF option pointing to encrypted password.

Simply adding the username and password file in the nxtransdirect.bat file seems to be getting ignored:

"%UGII_BASE_DIR%\ugmanager\run_nxtrans.bat" "-pim=yes" %* -u=dcproxy -pf=%TC_DATA%\pw\dcproxy.encpwf

Here's what we did:

Setup the password file:

Create a translator password file in the <DispatcherRoot>/DispatcherClient/cache directory (if one does not already exist).

NOTE: Translators CANNOT use the existing DispatcherClient.pwf because this file is encrypted with a different method than the translator expects

From a Teamcenter configured prompt, run the command %TC_ROOT%\install\install -encryptpwf -f=<DispatcherRoot>/DispatcherClient/cache/dcproxy.pwf

Input the password for dcproxy and confirm

(NOTE: there is no feedback from the command as you type)

Configure Translator.xml

1.   Edit <DISP_ROOT>/Module/conf/translator.xml

2.   Search for “nxtransdirect”

3.   Comment the following three lines:

<!--<Option description="Specifies username for NX Translator login to Teamcenter." name="clientoption" optionkey="user" string="-u=" value=""/>

<Option description="Specifies password for NX Translator login to Teamcenter." name="clientoption" optionkey="password" string="-p=" value=""/>

<Option description="Specifies group for NX Translator login to Teamcenter." name="clientoption" optionkey="group" string="-g=" value=""/> -->

4.   Set the password encryption to true

<Option description="Specifies whether or not password is encrypted for NX Translator login to Teamcenter." name="clientoption" optionkey="encrypted_password" string="-encrypt=" value="true"/>

5.   Disable autologin

<Option description="Specifies whether  to auto login as module user." name="clientoption" optionkey="use_module_user" string="-autologin=" value="false"/>

6.   Set ownership of the directmodel dataset to the CAD owner (optional)

<Option description="Specifies whether to change the translated data to the same owner as source." name="clientoption" optionkey="changeOwnerToCad" string="-changeOwnerToCad=" value="true"/>

Configure Nxtransdirect.bat

1.   Edit <DISP_ROOT>/Module/Translators/nxtransdirect/nxtransdirect.bat

2.   Validate the paths for:

•   TC_ROOT

•   FMS_HOME

•   TC_JRE_HOME

3.   Search for %UGII_BASE_DIR%\ugmanager\run_ntrans.bat

4.   Edit the line to this:"%UGII_BASE_DIR%\ugmanager\run_nxtrans.bat" "-pim=yes" -u=dcproxy -pf=<DISP_ROOT>\DispatcherClient\cache\dcproxypf.pwf -g=dba %*
