Connectivity Modes

The ENOVIA ER connector succeeds the ENOVIA SBA connector. V6R2018x introduced a brand new ENOVIA ER configuration for this connector to connect to the 3DSpace, but we ensure compatibility with previous connectivity modes.

You can select a connectivity mode in the Exalead CloudView Administration Console, using the Connectors > YOUR ENOVIA ER CONNECTOR > Configuration > Connection parameters > Connectivity mode parameter.

Connect to the 3DSpace

From Exalead CloudView V6R2017x FD02, you can connect to the 3DSpace interfacing the ENOVIA database directly, through HTTP.

Recommendation: Use this new connectivity mode as it is compatible with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.



This mode supports CAS authentication and file indexing.

To deploy it:

  1. ENOVIA side - For this connectivity mode the ERAgent is a built-in feature directly deployed into the 3DSpace application.
    Important: You do NOT need to deploy it.
  2. Exalead CloudView side - See Configuring the Connector in 3DSpace Mode.

Connect to ENOVIA Central in HTTP REST Mode

For all Exalead CloudView versions, you can connect to an ENOVIA central called Studio Modeling Native Apps, in REST mode through HTTP REST.

It requires installing a specific agent on the ENOVIA server.



How to deploy it:

  1. ENOVIA side - For this connectivity mode, you need to deploy a Standalone Agent. See Appendix - Installing the ER Agent on ENOVIA.
  2. Exalead CloudView side - See Configuring the Connector in HTTP REST Mode.

Connect to ENOVIA Central in Local Context Mode (DMP)

Important: This is a legacy mode first implemented for the ENOVIA SBA connector. Use the 3DSpace connectivity mode.

For all Exalead CloudView versions, you can connect to an Exalead CloudView central called Studio Modeling Native Apps, using the Local Context mode.



To deploy it:

  1. ENOVIA side - This connectivity mode uses the DMP studio agent through OCI, when ENOVIA is installed locally on the Exalead CloudView connector server.
  2. Exalead CloudView side - See Configuring the Connector in Local Context Mode.
