Setting Up for Hardlink Server Not on the EPS

This section shows you how to set up hardlink server that is not on the EPS

If the hardlink server is not on the ENOVIA Platform Server (EPS) computer, then you must perform the steps in this procedure to setup up RFA at each FCS location before the war utility generation.

Before you begin:
  • The System Administrator must have read-write-execute permission on the directory where the exe or bin files for RFA are placed.
  • X-CAD Design Management must be installed.
  1. Copy the iefRapidFileAccess.properties file to the hardlink server's ${APPLICATION_ROOT}/WEB-INF/classes folder.
  2. Update the properties file with the appropriate computer-specific settings.
  3. Register the IEFRapidFileAccessServlet in the hardlink server's web.xml: 

    <servlet id="MCADServlet_3">

        <servlet-name>IEFRapidFileAccessServlet</servlet-name>

        <servlet-class>

    com.matrixone.MCADIntegration.server.servlet.IEFRapidFileAccessServlet

    </servlet-class>

    <load-on-startup></load-on-startup>

           </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping id="MCADServletMapping_3">

    <servlet-mapping id="IEFRapidFileAccessServlet">

        <servlet-name>IEFRapidFileAccessServlet</servlet-name>

            <url-pattern>/servlet/IEFRapidFileAccessServlet</url-pattern>

    </servlet-mapping>

  4. Copy MxMCADServlets.jar to the hardlink server's ${APPLICATION_ROOT}/WEB-INF/ lib folder.
  5. Create the location of the exe files for RFA Server. The System Administrator must have read-write-execute permission on the directories created in Step a.

    For Windows:

    1. Create a directory or use an existing directory, for example, C:\Windows\System32 for Windows 32 bit systems or C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64 folder for Windows 64 bit systems.
    2. Add the directory in step a to the system PATH variable.
    3. Copy IEFHardLinkCleaner.exe and IEFHardLinkCreator.exe from <ENOVIA Designer Central installation folder>\RFA_Binaries to the directory in step a. The IEFHardLinkCleaner.exe and IEFHardLinkCreator.exe can be copied to any location mentioned as the PATH variable or to C:\Windows\System32 for Windows 32 bit systems or C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64 folder for Windows 64 bit systems.

    For UNIX:

    1. Create a directory or use an existing directory, for example, /usr/local/bin.
    2. Add the directory in step a to the system PATH variable
    3. Copy the IEFHardLinkCleaner and IEFHardLinkCreator binary files from <ENOVIA Designer Central installation folder>/RFA_Binaries directory to the directory created in step a.
