Kill stuck Inventor processes during performing heavy tasks automatically

[Maxim-CADman77]

As CADmanager I used to perform some high resource-consumption tasks on batch of thousands Inventor-documents using Inventor's Task Sheduler on more-or-less regular basis ... and I'm facing "stuck process problem".

I'm using PC with 8 cores with enabled multi-process mode (I've set it to 6).
About 50% of my tasks don't finish normally even so none of Inventor processes gets "not responding" status.

If I see that task's log changing stops for more than two hours I then manually run command "taskkill /f /im INVENTOR.exe /t" (usually after "taskkill /f /im EXCEL.exe /t"  *) once which is usually enough to reanimate the task and get if be finished normally a bit later.

I'd like to know if it is possible to get those "stuck" Inventor processes (and related Excel processes) killed automatically.

Thanks in advance.

* Which I guess "got stuck" during processing some configuration factories (there are usually about 20~40 Excel processes open).

   Not sure if you ever found what you are looking for, but I CAN tell you that more cores does not equate to better performance... Unfortunately, as of R2022, Inventor is still Single-Threaded and does not utilize multiple cores or processes, so your processing capabilities are only as fast as a single core...and generally more cores - slower clock speed....

  Also, not sure exactly what you mean by "Multi-process mode" but if it is anything like hyperthreading, then that will only make things worse.

The exception to this is the Drawing & Rendering Environments which are Multi-Threaded... which is why few Workstations can handle both well.
