Create a Shared Folder

Shared folder has the same meaning on Linux and Windows. On Windows, the share mechanism is used, and on Linux, the directory is exported and mounted on the client machine.

Create a shared folder name to be used for storing data.

For example:

  • \\machineName\shared_directory\3DSwymData on Windows
  • /share/DassaultSystemes/3DSwymData on Linux

The folder should be sized large enough to store media. It is also used to share certain configuration files across 3DSwym machines.

The x3ds applicative user must own this shared folder, which must be shared and accessible in read/write mode, and mounted the same way (using same path) from all the machines that are part of the 3DSwym installation.

If you prefer to use distinct OS users for some of the components of 3DSwym, they must have the same rights.

The shared folder must be accessible in read/write mode:

  • for 3DSwym Foundation , from the OS user running TomEE
  • for 3DSwym Video Converter , from the OS user running the converter service.

The shared folder must be accessible in read mode for 3DSwym Index , from the OS user running Exalead CloudView.
