To execute tasks on a computer, you must configure the computer to be a task host. You grant task execution permission for each vault where tasks will be run.
For the
Convert,
Design Checker, and
Print tasks, SOLIDWORKS must be installed on the systems you select for task
execution. When the task runs, SOLIDWORKS is opened briefly. If you configure a task to
convert assemblies that use Toolbox parts, to prevent SOLIDWORKS from hanging,
specify
the Hole Wizard/Toolbox path in SOLIDWORKS to the Toolbox location in the vault. See
Configuring Toolbox in SOLIDWORKS PDM and SOLIDWORKS.
To configure a computer as a task host:
When an administrator selects
the execution method for a task, the computer appears in the list of computers you can select
for task execution.
A user with permissions to run the task must be logged in to the
machine that hosts the task to be triggered.
