4.5.3.3.3. Single Port Deployment (with WebSocket tunneling + cache server)

The cache server caches the 3Dfdindit website and RFS2.

Below you will find explanations and additional links regarding the individual components and processes shown in the diagram:

LINKDB

The PARTsolutions Link Database (LinkDB) is set up as a new database on an existing database server. No new software is required on the database server .

PARTapplicationServer

For the PARTapplicationServer, a separate server or virtual machine is recommended.

Specific reasons for this include:

  • CADENAS's own software must be installed with administrator privileges. To avoid compromising existing software solutions on the server (isolated servers), CADENAS recommends using a separate computer for this purpose.

  • In addition, performance considerations must also be taken into account: If too many search queries are made at once, the server will be overwhelmed.

  • Storage location for CADENAS_SITESETUP

A single central application server for all locations is sufficient. All clients retrieve the detailed data for search results from a central $CADENAS_DATA file server.

It makes sense to then also install the CADENAS license service on this server. See FLM Server Installation - Requesting/Importing Licenses.

File Server

  • CADENAS Catalogs [$CADENAS_DATA]

    It can be stored on a file server, but in that case, index caching is important.

    It may also be located on the PARTapplicationServer itself .

$CADENAS on Clients (PARTsolutions software and interfaces)

Software Distribution / Software Updates

Deployment: An image created by an administrator or consultant can be distributed to clients via Copy or Share. Only the files are copied; system entries are not included. Any number of copies can be created.

Caching of Index Files

To ensure that the PARTapplicationServer runs efficiently, we recommend caching the CADENAS_DATA index files.

Caching Server

Using a caching server for the application server improves performance in distributed environments with multiple locations and high network latencies, particularly in internationally distributed installations.
