Worker installation

The installation of the Worker is based on the Stand-Alone installation with EOX data storage (see Stand-Alone installation). The installation of the plug-in is not part of the Stand-Alone installation and must be installed manually.

Here are the steps to install the plug-in:

  1. Open Windows Explorer.
  2. Navigate to the following folder: <EEC installation folder>\install\jobserver.worker.
  3. Open the file jobserver.worker_2_5_<Build id>.zip with a suitable file archiver, for example, 7-Zip.
  4. Unpack the complete content into the <EEC installation folder>\dropins directory.

After the start of the application, the plug-in is registered automatically.

To enable the Worker to communicate with the Job Server, the initialization file (for example ec.ini) should contain an argument with the Port number, where the Worker listens, for example 8989 (see de.eplan.eec.jobserver.worker.port):

-Dde.eplan.eec.jobserver.worker.port=8989

To automatically register the Worker at the Job Server on start-up, the initialization file (for example ec.ini) should contain the aliasUrl of the Job Server, for example http://jobserverstation:8686 (see de.eplan.eec.jobserver.private.aliasurl):

-Dde.eplan.eec.jobserver.private.aliasurl=http://jobserverstation:8686

The Worker is started automatically when EEC is started, if the value for autostart is set to the value true in the initialization file (for example ec.ini) (see de.eplan.eec.jobserver.worker.autostart):

-Dde.eplan.eec.jobserver.worker.autostart=true

You can also specify in the initialization file the language in which the user interface of the Worker is to be started, for example German (see -osgi.nl):

-nl=de_DE

Note:

At the moment the Worker cannot be operated headless. Possibly occurring dialogs would lead to the stop of the Worker.

Further Worker settings can be made in the preferences:
