Configuring DesignSync File Access

If you have one of the Semiconductor Accelerators installed, you need to activate DesignSync File Access.

Refer to "Installing ENOVIA Semiconductor Accelerators in the Live Collaboration Web Applications Installation Guide for instructions on installing the accelerators if you did not initially install them.

You may also need to define how connections between ENOVIA Live Collaboration and DesignSync are made (automatically or selected by the user).

  1. Using MQL, create a store object for the DesignSync server. See the System Manager Guide or the MQL Guide for instructions.

    When defining the protocol for the store, use "http" or "https" as appropriate. The application automatically translates the protocol to "sync" when connecting to the DesignSync server.

  2. Using the > Utilities > Property Registration menu, register the store. See Registering Your Own Administrative Objects.

  3. Optional: To specify automatic connections when a user connects to a DesignSync file or folder from the Navigate DesignSync or the Folder Contents page, change the value for this property in emxComponents.properties to false: 

    emxComponents.DSFAConnect.ShowDialog

    The default value is true and the user is presented a dialog to define the connection. See the show dialog property defined in emxComponents.properties for more details on this property.

  4. If you installed the IP Management Accelerator and need to use an ENOVIA product to copy files or folders from one DesignSync server to another (such as from a remote server to a local server), add these properties to emxFramework.properties:

    The emxFramework.properties file is located in ematrix/properties. 

    emxComponents.LocalDSServer = DSSTORENAME
    emxComponents.LocalDSPath = PATH

    where:


    • DSSTORENAME is the store created in step 1.
    • PATH is the directory path relative to the specified store

  5. Restart the application server.

    Your users can now use the DesignSync file and folder options described inWorking with DesignSync File Access.
