Overview

While ENOVIA offers PLM products that cover many product development business processes, the need for companies to tailor or extend ENOVIA products to meet their specific needs is inevitable, since a company's competitive advantage often requires a unique product development process compared to how other companies execute. Therefore, in order to deploy the ENOVIA system, companies may need to set up an environment that allows them to develop changes to the standard ENOVIA products and test them in conditions that duplicate their actual or projected network and server performance. ENOVIA Studio Modeling Platform is required in order to tailor and configure the production ENOVIA system.

Users of ENOVIA Studio Modeling Platform must be valid licensees of the products that are configured and tested. However, a user's production license can also be used with the system installed for ENOVIA Studio Modeling Platform.

ENOVIA Studio Modeling Platform includes the following primary tools:

• ENOVIA Studio Business Modeler (BUS)—the tool for managing the data model and its associated business processes including types, attributes, relationships, and the web user interface design.
• ENOVIA Matrix Web Navigator (MXW)—the tool for searching the data objects based on the data model. This application is required to administer triggers and other configuration objects. While ENOVIA Matrix Web Navigator is installed as part of ENOVIA Studio Modeling Platform for ease of installation, this application license is included in both ENOVIA Live Collaboration (CPF) and ENOVIA Studio Modeling Platform Rich Clients (DMP). For legacy customers that are still based on thick client deployments vs. Web, the DMP license entitles users to use ENOVIA Matrix Navigator (MXN).
• ENOVIA Studio MQL (MQL)—the command line interface tool for executing commands and scripts.
• ENOVIA Studio System Administration (SAD)—the tool for managing and configuring data and file storage vaults.

This guide describes these tasks with ENOVIA Studio Modeling Platform:

• Installing and updating the platform—You can install ENOVIA Studio Modeling Platform software on UNIX/Linux or Windows and run updates as needed. See "Installing ENOVIA Studio Modeling Platform".
• Configuring ENOVIA Live Collaboration—You can set environment variables according to your system needs. See "Configuring ENOVIA Live Collaboration".

Most of the V6 products are installed using the ENOVIA Installer, a set of common installation tools. Many of the products have the ENOVIA Installer core files embedded in their product installation media, in which case, you do not need to unload them separately. The ENOVIA Installer Guide describes how to:

• Unload the media for the V6 product you want to install, in this case, the ENOVIA Studio Customization Toolkit (ADV).
• Determine whether you need to unload the ENOVIA Installer media.
• Launch the V6 product installation, in this case, the ENOVIA Studio Customization Toolkit.

After launching the product installation with the generic instructions in the ENOVIA Installer Guide, you then continue to install the ENOVIA Studio Customization Toolkit with the instructions specific to it in this guide.

When the UNIX installation procedure asks for input, it provides the default value in brackets []. Default values for directory paths are based on the environment, so the examples in this book show empty brackets. To use the default, simply press Enter.

Throughout this guide, certain words appear in capital letters, which indicates that you need to enter specific information for your environment. Below is a description of some of the abbreviations that are used in this manner.

• INSTALL_PATH—the directory in which to install the software. Once installed, this may be referred to as one of:
• ENOVIAHOME (UNIX) or ENOVIA_INSTALL (Windows) for ENOVIA Studio Modeling Platform
• SERVERHOME (UNIX) or SERVER_INSTALL (Windows) for ENOVIA Live Collaboration Server (CSR)

Published examples in this document, including but not limited to scripts, programs, and related items, are intended to provide some assistance to customers by example. They are for demonstration purposes only. It does not imply an obligation for ENOVIA to provide examples for every published platform, or for every potential permutation of platforms/products/versions/etc.

For ENOVIA Business Process Services (BPS) installation, the name of the directory containing mql.exe CANNOT include any spaces.

For ENOVIA Studio Modeling Platform and ENOVIA Live Collaboration Server installation, you can use spaces in the name of the directory containing the JDK.
