3DLIVE Examine Settings

To enable the Preview tab in the details view of the ENOVIA Windows Explorer Integration, 3DLIVEExamine should be installed with MSF Integration. The end-users do not need to explicitly install 3DLIVEExamine on their machines. Client installation incorporates a check if 3DLIVEExamine is already installed on the machine. If it is not installed, it automatically installs 3DLIVEExamine package that is a part of BPS and MSF server installer packages, when the Preview tab is loaded for the first time.

This task shows you how to:

Windows Server

Perform the following steps to install 3DLIVEExamine on the Windows Server.

  1. Add following properties in Enovia.ini file @ \enoviaV6R2013\server\win_b64\code\bin and \enoviaV6R2012\studio\win_b64\code\bin:

    1. MX_SERVICE_PATH=D:\V2011_0505\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\webapps\enovia\WEB-INF\classes
    2. MX_SERVICE_ADMIN=http://msfsrv2win64plb:8090/Enovia

  2. The value of MX_SERVICE_PATH should be the path of WEB-INI\classes where ENOVIA is deployed.

  3. The value of MX_SERVICE_ADMINshould be the URL.

  4. Above properties should be added before [SystemApplication] section.

  5. Download the 3DLIVEExamine.Windows.zip and 3DLIVEExamine.Windows64.zip.

  6. Extract both files.

  7. Copy X86 and X64 folders from extracted zip files in "\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\webapps\enovia\components\" folder.

  8. Execute following commands through mql:

    1. compile program *plmprovider* force; [Mandatory]
    2. compile program *framework* force; [Non mandatory]

  9. After executing these commands check the "WEB-INF\classes" folder.

  10. Following files should get generated:


    • JpoPlmproviderConnectDeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderConnectUndeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderFileDeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderFileUndeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderMetaDataDeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderMetaDataUndeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderNavRepDeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderNavRepUndeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderQueryDeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderQueryUndeploy.wsdd

Non-Windows Server

Perform the following steps to install 3DLIVEExamine on non Windows Server.

  1. Add following properties in mxEnv.sh file @ /appl/MatrixOne/V6R2013/server/scripts:

    1. MX_SERVICE_PATH=/appl/MatrixOne/V6R2013/apache-tomcat-6.0.26/webapps/enovia/WEB-INF/classes

      export MX_SERVICE_PATH

    2. MX_SERVICE_ADMIN=http://msfrhelplb:8081/enovia/

      export MX_SERVICE_ADMIN

  2. The value of MX_SERVICE_PATH should be the path of WEB-INI\classes where Enovia is deployed.

  3. The value of MX_SERVICE_ADMIN should be the URL.

  4. Download the "3DLIVEExamineViewer.Windows.zip" and "3DLIVEExamineViewer.Windows64.zip".

  5. Extract both files.

  6. Copy X86 and X64 folders from extracted zip files in /appl/MatrixOne/V6R2013/apache-tomcat-6.0.26/webapps/enovia/components folder.

  7. Execute following commands through mql:

    1. compile program *plmprovider* force; [Mandatory]
    2. compile program *framework* force; [Non mandatory]

  8. After executing these commands check the "WEB-INF\classes" folder.

  9. Following files should get generated:


    • JpoPlmproviderConnectDeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderConnectUndeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderFileDeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderFileUndeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderMetaDataDeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderMetaDataUndeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderNavRepDeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderNavRepUndeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderQueryDeploy.wsdd
    • JpoPlmproviderQueryUndeploy.wsdd

Application Server Settings

Set the MX_SERVICE_PATH and MX_SERVICE_ADMIN variables in the enovia.ini (on Windows) files for Live Collaboration Server and Studio Modeling Platform (previously ematrix.ini and matrix.ini in Windows) or in mxEnv.sh (on Unix).

  1. Run the following command:

    Weblogic on Windows
    MX_SERVICE_PATH=C:\Weblogic10_3_2\user_projects\domains\V6R2013\servers\AdminServer\tmp\_WL_user\enovia\czeepf\war\WEB-INF\classes
    Weblogic on UNIX
    MX_SERVICE_PATH=\EMATRIXRMI\distrib\enovia\WEB-INF\classes export MX_SERVICE_PATH
    MX_SERVICE_ADMIN=http://HOST:PORT#/enovia
    export MX_SERVICE_ADMIN
    WebSphere on Windows
    MX_SERVICE_PATH=C:\WEBSPHEREINSTALL\AppServer\installedApps\HOSTNAME\enovia\ematrix.ear\ematrix.war\WEB-INF\classes
    MX_SERVICE_ADMIN=http://HOST:PORT#/enovia
    WebSphere on UNIX
    MX_SERVICE_PATH=/WEBSPHEREINSTALL/AppServer/installedApps/HOSTNAME/enovia/STAGING/WEB-INF/classes
    export MX_SERVICE_PATH
    MX_SERVICE_ADMIN=http://HOST:PORT#/enovia
    export MX_SERVICE_ADMIN
    For Tomcat on Linux:
    MX_SERVICE_PATH /app/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/enovia/WEB-INF/classes
    export MX_SERVICE_PATH MX_SERVICE_ADMIN=http://

    Note: The paths above are indicative and would differ from user to user on installation.

  2. Additional setting required for WAS:

    If application server is WAS then user needs to manually copy X86, X64 folders and MSFContext.jsp in the following path:

    /appl/WAS7.0.0.11_64/AppServer/profiles/M1/installedApps/msfrhelplbNode02Cell/enovia.ear/enovia.war/components

    or

    To avoid copying X86, X64, MSFContext.jsp manually, copy those folders and files in the "/appl/MatrixOne/V6R2011XO/server/STAGING/ematrix/components" and then run the WAR utility and redeploy the WAS. The required X86, X64, MSFContext.jsp will automatically get copied in enovia.ear/enovia.war/components folder.

Client Side Settings

You have to update the url settings on the client side, to use 3DVia.

  1. Right-click in the notification area.

  2. Click Settings.

  3. Ensure in the ServerUrl field, the URL is added with "/" at the end.

    For example, http://cesw2k81dei:8085/enovia/

    Important: If "/" is not added, add it to the url and restart the MSF and Explorer services.
