3.3.3.2. Installation (Basis and Addons)

  • Prerequisite is a correctly set up CAD-System.

    Information on CAD integration can be found at Chapter 2, PARTsolutions - CAD Integration - Administration .

  • Addons

    The CDE directory can - if not already present - be copied from %cadenas%/iface/plm/ifsapectr to the customer's applications directory, which must be done by the customer. This is necessary so that the CADENAS (CDE) application is available. This also includes the rfc-tunnel-whitelist.txt file (see next point).

  • RFC Tunnel Whitelist

    Under C:\Program Files\PARTsolutions\iface\plm\ifsapectr\cde\customize\config you will find the file rfc-tunnel-whitelist.txt. The file allows the execution of certain calls that are otherwise not permitted. The customer must be informed of this.

    Copy this file to

    • \ECTR5.2\applications\cde\customize\config

      or

    • \ECTR5.2\customize\config

      or

    • the active communication directory.

      [Note]Note

      As this setting is saved locally, it must be repeated for each Windows user and for new installations.

      If your own whitelist already exists in the ECTR folder, it must be supplemented with the calls from the PARTsolutions installation via copy & paste.

      Beispiel:

      C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\SAP\ECTR\conf\ectr52\Q20_208_ZZ15\customize\config

  • Direct integration for 3Dfindit

    Under ...\iface\plm\ifsapectr\thinclient you can find the following directories:

    • addons

    • customize

    Copy them into the ECTR directory.

    Set environment variable CADENAS_APPSERVER. Thereby the 3Dfindit login dialog will appear right at the starting of SAP ECTR.

    [Tip]Tip

    You can find the correct value e.g. in the start.env of a client.

    Example:

    CADENAS_APPSERVER=https://<servername>.cadenas.internal?sslport=9022

    Various setting parameters can be found in the configuration file pdmseamless.cfg. See the respective help texts.
