Configuring DesignSync File Access

If you have one of the Semiconductor Accelerators installed, you need to activate DesignSync File Access.

See the Semiconductor Accelerators - Administration: Installing ENOVIA 3DEXPERIENCE Applications for Semiconductor for information about installing the accelerators if you did not initially install them.

You may also need to define how connections between 3DSpace and DesignSync are made (automatically or selected by the user).

  1. Using MQL, create a store object for the DesignSync server. See the MQL Concepts for instructions.

    When defining the protocol for the store, use "http" or "https" as appropriate. The app automatically translates the protocol to "sync" when connecting to the DesignSync server.

  2. To open the Viewer Property Registration dialog box:
    1. From the compass, select Social and Collaborative Apps .
    2. In the list of apps, click Collaboration and Approvals.
    3. In the navigation pane, click Utilities > Property Registration.
  3. Register the store. For more information, see Collaboration and Approvals Administration Guide: Registering Your Own Administrative Objects.
  4. Optional: To specify automatic connections when a user connects to a DesignSync file or folder from the Navigate DesignSync or the Folder Contents page, change the value for this property in emxComponents.properties to false: 

    emxComponents.DSFAConnect.ShowDialog

    The default value is true and the user is presented a dialog box to define the connection. See the show dialog box property defined in Properties for DesignSync File Access for more details on this property.

  5. If you installed the IP Management Accelerator and need to use an app to copy files or folders from one DesignSync server to another (such as from a remote server to a local server), add these properties to emxComponents.properties: 

    emxComponents.LocalDSServer = DSSTORENAME
    emxComponents.LocalDSPath = PATH

    where:

    • DSSTORENAME is the store created in step 1.
    • PATH is the directory path relative to the specified store

  6. Restart the app server.

    Your users can now use the DesignSync file and folder options described in DesignSync File Access.
