In case the FCS and FTP servers are running on the same computer, then
the System Administrator must create folders for each X-CAD Design Management user on the designated FCS (File Collaboration Server), which must be on the same network as the client machines.
Each FCS requires an application server to create the hardlinks. For
details on installing and setting up the server, see the ENOVIA
Live Collaboration Installation Guide.
If FCS and FTP are different, the user needs to deploy RFA server
on FTP locations and each X-CAD Design Management user also needs a directory
or folder on the FTP Server. Name of this folder should be the same as
the ENOVIA user name. Each FTP server needs its own hardlink root path,
user subdirectories, and application server.
When creating the directories for each user under the hardlink
root directory, the name of the user's directory must be their X-CAD Design Management login name. For example, if you have users Designer1
and Designer2, then you would create these directories:
C:\Hardlinks\Designer1 with read-only network permission
allowed to Designer1 and no permission allowed to other users and C:\Hardlinks\Designer2 with read-only network permission
allowed to Designer2 and no permission allowed to other users.
Hardlinks is the name of the hardlink root path where
all of the user directories are created.
The user must only have read access, not write access, to the hardlink
directory. However, if the user is actually logging in from the computer
where the hardlink directory is defined, that user then requires full
access permission to the hardlink directory. In general, the computer
used for the hardlink directories should not be used by users to access
hardlinks.
For RFA setup in Windows systems, the file store and hardlinks directory
must be on NTFS directory. If the hardlink root path will be accessed
by the client via UNC Path, then share all user directories separately.
Otherwise, if the hardlink root path is accessible to the client via
a mapped drive, then share the hardlink root path. Give read-only permission
to user subdirectories to the corresponding network users.
