5.24.3.3. ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit Client

[Note]Note

The server must already be set up and running.

The server and client must be compatible, but they do not necessarily have to be at exactly the same service pack or patch level .[92]

In V12, access to CADENAS_DATA, CADENAS_SETUP, and CADENAS_SITESETUP via the AppServer has been improved. Access to CADENAS_SETUP and CADENAS_SITESETUP via the AppServer has been accelerated.

Another new feature is that all client applications now use the RemoteFileSystem, provided it is enabled on the client. Previously, this was only the case for PARTdataManager.

Operation If the ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit Client and AppServer are running on the same computer, neither RemoteFileSystem nor Remote-Index is used. In this case, access to CADENAS_DATA is via the file system.

Access via RemoteFileSystem is read-only. If you plan to use PARTadmin or PARTlinkManager on the client, RemoteFileSystem should not be enabled on the client.

This access should only be used, for example, to modify configuration files. The user must then have the appropriate permissions.

This access is not suitable for catalog/classification updates and index management. See below for more information.

Whether the RemoteFileSystem should be enabled on the client can be specified during installation.

Example: Software, Data and Setup local (in other words the RemoteFileSystem is not used)

Example: Software, Data and Setup local (in other words the RemoteFileSystem is not used)

If " Software" "Local, Data, and Setup " is selected for the application server, the RemoteFileSystem is used.

[Note]Note

Will Data, Setup, and Site Setup via the AppServer is now available in V12 No more local pappclient.cfg required. Instead, there is the CADENAS_APPSERVER environment variable.

  • sslport=9022 => SSL port of the server

  • mzcomport=9021 => Port of the mzcom service

  • mzcomsport=9023 => SSL port of the mzcom service

  • noproxy=1 => Do not use a proxy to access the server

  • proxyAddr= => if specified, the proxy address to be used when noproxy=0

  • remoteFileSystem=1 => Integrate CADENAS_DATA via RFS from the server

  • remoteSetup=0 (default) => local CADENAS_SETUP | 1 => integrate CADENAS_SETUP via RFS from the server

  • writeable=1 => RFS writable mount; the server decides whether writing is allowed (if =0, all mounted directories are read-only)

  • httpCacheSize=5000 => Size of the RFS cache in MB; the default is a maximum of 5 GB in $CADENAS_USER/rfs
