Installing the ENOVIA Collaborative Design for SolidWorks Server

This section describes how to install the ENOVIA Collaborative Design for SolidWorks Server on Windows. The ENOVIA Collaborative Design for SolidWorks Server schema installation calls a JPO for registration to ENOVIA Designer Central. You should ensure that the ENOVIA installation has been properly configured for compilation of JPOs for a successful schema selection.

  1. To begin installing ENOVIA Collaborative Design for SolidWorks Server, run setupV6.exe for the appropriate operating system for your environment.

    Refer to the online ENOVIA Installer guide for specific instructions.

  2. The Introduction dialog box opens.

    The Introduction dialog box specifies the component you are installing.

  3. Click Next. The Enter Bootstrap File Name dialog box opens.

    Specify the name of the bootstrap file you wish to use for the schema installation.

  4. Click Next. Choose the Installation folder of ENOVIA Platform Modelling Studio dialog box opens.

    Choose the folder where ENOVIA Platform Modeling Studio is installed.

  5. Click Next. The installer checks if ENOVIA Designer Central is installed. If it does not detect a ENOVIA Designer Central installation, the ENOVIA Collaborative Design for SolidWorks Server installation does not proceed.

    If the first two digits of the detected ENOVIA Designer Central version do not match the first two digits of the compatible version, the installer displays a message about a major mismatch. In this case, you must install the compatible version of ENOVIA Designer Central, and then install the ENOVIA Collaborative Design for SolidWorks Server :

    If only the last two digits of the detected ENOVIA Designer Central version do not match the last two digits of the compatible version, it is a minor mismatch, and the installer displays a message. In this case, you can still continue to install the ENOVIA Collaborative Design for SolidWorks Server.

    The Choose the Components to Install dialog box opens.

    Select an option from the following:

    Full Installation--Installs both schema and user interface files.

    Schema--Installs only necessary schema objects.

    Update CSE Installer--Places CSE installer and modifies necessary property files.

  6. Click Next. The Choose Install Folder dialog box opens.

    Specify the name of the folder where installer will place the script files.

  7. Click Next. The Specify the application name dialog box opens.

    Specify the name of the web application. By default, the application name is ENOVIA.

  8. Click Next. The Choose the Folder of ENOVIA Platform Server dialog box appears.

    Click Choose to browse and locate the installation folder of the ENOVIA Platform Server.

  9. Click Next. The Inputs for schema Installation dialog box opens.

    The Inputs for schema Installation dialog box is displayed only if you chose Full Installation or Schema Installation in the Select Components to Install dialog box. From the list of vaults present in the database, select the vault to use. Then specify a username and password for installing the schema.

  10. Click Next. The Pre-Installation Summary dialog box opens, displaying the components and the available disk space for installation.

  11. Click Install to start installation. The schema files and CSE are installed on your computer. The installer runs MQL in silent mode, and schema components are installed.

  12. The Schema Installation Output dialog box opens and displays the output of schema installation.

    If a SolidWorks Global Config Object is already in the database, the existing GCO is not overwritten. The installer installs another GCO with a different name (suffixed with <GCOName>_<ReleaseNumber>, e.g. "SWNewArch_V6R2013" for release V6R2013) with default values. The installer then compares the values of the attributes between the existing GCO and the GCO installed by the installer. It logs messages in the log file, indicating what attributes differ and indicating that values for such differing attributes must be merged manually.

    In order that out-of-box integration works without having to merge the differences between the existing GCO and the GCO installed by the installer, you can take a backup of the existing GCO and rename the GCO installed by the installer to its original name (i.e., rename "SWNewArch_V6R2013" to "SWNewArch" after taking backup of the existing GCO).

  13. Click Next.The Install Complete dialog box opens.

    Click Done to quit the installer.

    After the installation completes successfully, install the documentation, as described in Installation and Administration | ENOVIA | Unified Live Collaboration | Live Collaboration - Web Applications Installation | Installing and Upgrading ENOVIA Applications. It includes instructions for installing the ENOVIA Help and deploying the WAR file.

  14. Install the online help. See Deployment > Installation > Online Documentation > On-line Documentation Installation > Installing the Documentation for details.

  15. Run the WAR Utility and deploy the application. See Live Collaboration - Web Application Deployment (under Installation and Configuration > ENOVIA > Unified Live Collaboration) for details.
