Configuration Steps

1. Open a Windows Explorer window to the root of the Aras Agent Service Installation.
2. Open the \AgentService\conversion.config file in text editor.

3. Configure the ‘cycle’ tag as follows:

   1. DB: Aras Innovator Database

   2. User: admin

      Another Aras Innovator User can be specified as long as they are a member of the ConversionManager Identity and they have permissions to lock dependencies of ConversionTask Item which are added by ConversionRules.

   3. Interval: default is 20000 (set in milliseconds)
      How often the Conversion Server checks if there are Conversion Tasks that need to be processed.
   4. MaxBatch: default is 5
      Number of Conversion Tasks that can be processed at the same time Uncomment the tag as follows:

<configuration>

…

<Innovator>

<Conversion>

<ProcessingCycles>

<!--cycle DB="{db}" User="{user}" Interval="20000” MaxBatch="5” /-->

</ProcessingCycles>

</Conversion>

</Innovator>

</configuration>

Should become:

<configuration>

…

<Innovator>

<Conversion>

<ProcessingCycles>

<cycle DB="InnovatorSolutions” User="admin” Interval="20000” MaxBatch="5” />

</ProcessingCycles>

</Conversion>

</Innovator>

</configuration>

4. Configure the ‘Conversion’ tag for Force mode as follows:

   Warning

   Leave the following parameters with the default value, because default configuration covers almost all use cases of Force mode (OnAfterAddConversionTask event) Conversion Tasks execution. Update the following configuration only if it is required.

1. ForceModeMaxConcurrentTasksCount: default is 100

   Max number of Force mode Conversion Tasks that can be processed at the same time.

2. ForceModeMaxConcurrentCyclesCount: default is 10000

   Max number of requests with Force mode Conversion Task, that can be processed at the same time.

   <configuration> … <Innovator> <

   Conversion ForceModeMaxConcurrentTasksCount="

   100

   ” ForceModeMaxConcurrentCyclesCount="

   10000

   ">

   <ProcessingCycles> …

   </ProcessingCycles> </Conversion> </Innovator> </configuration>

5. Save and close the ‘conversion.config’ file.
6. Log in to Aras Innovator as an administrator.
7. Go to Administration --> File Handling --> Conversion Servers.
8. Open the ‘Default’ Conversion Server for editing or create a new Conversion Server.
9. If not filled out (New Conversion Server), enter the name and Impersonation User.
10. Hard-code the URL to the conversion server:

http://

serverName/ConversionServer

/ConversionService.asmx

11. Save, unlock, and close the Conversion Server.
