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, 3Dfindit - 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 a whitelist already exists in the ECTR folder, it must be supplemented via copy & paste with the calls from the 3Dfindit installation.

      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.

  • SAP GUI buttons for 3Dfindit

    For PARTsolutions < V12.8 please make sure that the following files are up-to-date:

    • CADENAS_SETUP/scripts/cadconnector/web/sapectr.vbs

    • CADENAS/libs/pappserver/webapps/3dfindit-enterprise/plugins/plugin.js

    • CADENAS/libs/pappserver/webapps/3dfindit-enterprise/custom_config.json

    Then restart the PARTapplicationServer. Then the SAP GUI buttons should be displayed in the 3DF window.

    • Display material master (Tooltip: "Open SAP and display the material master of the current line")

      -> The material is opened in the Object Browser.

      Object Browser > Material

      -> The SAP GUI is opened with the Create Material screen.

    In future releases the mentioned files should be part of the standard.
