j-link not autostarting

[cmarcum]

Hi all.
I have installed a j-link app on 2 different computers
with the same protk.dat file in the startup dir. On one
system the app autostarts fine, on the second, I have
to Utilities > Auxiliary Applications then Register the
protk.dat file and then start the app. Then it runs
fine otherwise.
Does anyone know what can cause this?
TIA
carl

Hi Carl,


Seems lika a problem related to the Pro-E installation on the second computer. Which version of Pro/E are you using?


* For Wildfire make sure you have date code 2003.490 or later.


* Make sure that you use the same config.pro files on both machines, with the option jlink_java2 on


* Make sure classpaths are the same on both machines. As it works on one, it should work on the other. They both should look like:


Classpath = .;<<Wildfire loadpoint>>\text\java\pfc.jar;<<Wildfire loadpoint>>\text\java\swingall.jar (Note the .; in the beginning of the classpath variable, without this it will not work).


Hope this can help you.

I know exactly what can cause this. If you are using an old enough version of Pro/E which needs the timeout patch, you need to install it. If you run pro/e without intralink chances are you've gotten away with not having the patch.Basically its one nmsd.exe file you copy into a folder.


I had the same issue with toolkit apps, they simply would not autoregisteron a few machines but would on every other.


ptc.com/go/timeout will tell you which versions are effected and how to take care of it.

Thanks, I know the machine that doesn't autostart has not been patched.


I will try this.


Thanks,


Carl
