Installing Integration Exchange Framework Client in UI Mode

This section shows you how to install ENOVIA Integration Exchange Framework Client (IEC) in UI mode.

The IEC installer installs the client-side component of X-CAD Design Management.

It is mandatory to install IEC for all integrations that are dependent on X-CAD Design Management and use native user interface.

Before you begin:
  • Ensure that the user installing Integration Exchange Framework Client has Administrator privileges. Only users with Administrator privileges can install Integration Exchange Framework Client.
  • Ensure that the user installing Integration Exchange Framework Client has Administrator privileges for the system it is installed.
  • For supported JRE versions, please refer to the "Support Policy for Java" in the Program Directories Library for 3DEXPERIENCE R2022x.
  • On 64 bit windows platform, both 32-bit JRE and 64 bit JRE must be installed. 32-bit JRE is used by the X-CAD Design Management applet when operations are performed through the WEB UI and 64-bit JRE is used by Integration Exchange Framework Client.
  • On Unix platform 32-bit JRE is used by the X-CAD Design Management applet when operations are performed through the WEB UI. For IEC on Unix platform, either 64 bit or 32 bit JRE can be used.
  • Ensure that you have .NET Framework installed on your computer, refer the Program Directory for the supported .NET Framework version.
  1. Run the setup.exe for Windows or StartGUI.sh for UNIX systems.
  2. Click Next. The Choose Destination Folder dialog box appears.

    Click Browse to specify the path to install the ENOVIA Integration Exchange Framework Client. By default, the path is C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B418xcadconnectors.

  3. Click Next. The Select Software dialog box appears.
    The required space for installing IEC and the available space appears.
  4. Click Next.

    The JRE Directory dialog box appears.

    Important: This step is applicable only on Unix OS.

    Click Browse and specify the location where JRE is installed.

    Note: For Windows, JRE selection dialog box is not displayed and this step is not applicable.

  5. Click Next. The Enter the Server dialog box appears.

    Enter the complete 3DSpace server URL. For example, http://abc123:8080/enovia

    Important: If the network between the client and server computer is only IPv6 (IPv4 is disabled), then the IP Address in server url should be mentioned in square brackets. For example, http://[abc123]:8080/enovia

    If you are using a 3DPassport enabled 3DEXPERIENCE on-premise environment then you need to specify the URL of the 3DSpace application.

    The installer doesn't validate the server URL during installation. The connection will fail if user enters incorrect 3DSpace URL.

    The 3DSpace URL can be corrected or updated in the config.xml file.

  6. Click Next. The Summary dialog box appears.
    A summary of the specified parameters in steps 3 to 8 is displayed for review. Click Back to change any parameters if necessary.
  7. Click Install to start the installation.
    A progress bar displays the installation progress.
  8. The Installation Complete dialog box appears once the installation process is complete. Click Close to complete the installation.

    Note: ENOVIA recommends to reboot client after the installation for proper functioning.

    The installation log files are created in <Installation Directory>\InstallData\log.

Uninstallation of Integration Exchange Framework Client (IEC) may not delete some folders since some resource from those folders may be locked by the system. You must restart the computer and delete the folders manually.
