Global 3DEXPERIENCE platform Installer

Welcome to the Global 3DEXPERIENCE platform Installer Guide. You can run the global 3DEXPERIENCE platform installer to perform an all-in-one installation. All the components selected at the beginning of the installation procedure will be installed, one by one, on the current machine. The name of the assembly media is AM_3DEXP_Platform.AllOS. It comprises several media and has the capability of installing ten media.

The global installer will help you to install multiple services on one machine. It will avoid duplication of inputs, which furthermore reduces the chances of error.

This page discusses:

Before Starting the Installation

Before starting the installation using the global 3DEXPERIENCE platform installer, check that all the prerequisites, such as certificates, databases and database users, are available and have been prepared before installing each 3DEXPERIENCE platform service.

For more information, see Preparing the Installation in each 3DEXPERIENCE platform service installation guide.

After the Installation

After the installation, perform the post-installation tasks and configuration tasks required for each 3DEXPERIENCE platform service you installed.

For more information, see each 3DEXPERIENCE platform service installation guide .

Limitations

  • There is no hot fix for global 3DEXPERIENCE platform installers. You have to install hot fixes for individual services.
  • Remote installation is not supported: each media is executed and installed on the current machine.
  • Parallel installations are not supported: you need to wait for the end of the installation of a service to enter the parameters for the next service to install.
  • There is no global uninstall solution provided: each directory of installation needs to be uninstalled separately.
  • There is no means to automatically check for the installation order of the services.
  • There is no Software Management for the whole assembly media installation. Individual services will still have the Software Management shortcut for their own installation.
  • The global 3DEXPERIENCE platform installer does not manage the migration of installed services from a previous level. The individual installer for each service manages the migration.
  • When the installation is launched in silent mode, the global 3DEXPERIENCE platform installer will not generate the global UserIntentions.xml file.
