ENOVIA VPM V5 Server Installation and Setup

This section shows you how to install and setup the ENOVIA VPM V5 server.

This page discusses:

Deploy the ENOVIA Web Applications

This section explains how to deploy the ENOVIA Web Applications.

On the V5 server, ensure that the DEW product is installed and deploy the ENOVIA Web Applications as per instructions found in the following guides:

In Deploying the Web Application in an Application Server, you only need to complete Creating a Database for Settings Persistency and Deploying the Web Application in the TomEE Application Server.

Specify the LCA Server and Port via LCA Navigator Adapter Settings

You must specify the LCA server and port on the ENOVIA V5 VPM Adapter settings page. Go to http://hostname:port/LPMServerMgt/config and click Edit Configuration.

Installation and Release Requirements

This section tells you where to find information about Coexistence and Migration compatibility between versions of ENOVIA VPM V5 and 3DEXPERIENCE.

See the Version Compatibility table in ENOVIA VPM V5 Prerequisites.

V5-6R2017 SP4+ Releases

To use the connector with V5-6R2017 SP4+ you must:

  1. install V5-6R2017 GA
  2. install V5-6R2017 SPn.

No extra media are required.

Recommendations for Multisite Replication

All ENOVIA V5 multisite users are strongly advised to have a single centralized site and a star topology for multisite exchanges. This means that one site centralizes the data for all the V5 sites and must be used for importing from V5 to 3DEXPERIENCE allowing customers with multisites in V5 to import from one single V5 site to 3DEXPERIENCE. Remember that in a coexistence context there are by default no concurrent updates from different V5 sites.

Star Topology

Star topology requires that there be one master site that has a copy of all objects and more than one satellite site. Data is always exchanged through the master site. It is however possible to have a secondary master site.

The advantages of such an approach are threefold:

  • Objects are always exchanged via the same channel.
  • What is sent is guaranteed to be what is received.
  • There is a single consolidated view of the data on the master site. In particular, the master site always takes account of an object's site owner.
Be aware that the star topology approach means that any exchange between two satellite sites requires a two-step operation, when transferring ownership for example.
