- [Instructor] So at this point in our installation
we've gone through and done the PDM install,
the database and archive server install.
We neglected the client install and now I've decided
I want to go back and modify that so I can add in the client
and the admin tool on my server location.
So let's see what would happen
if we went through this process.
Now you can also follow this process
if you notice you have any errors in your install
and you want to make modifications.
Here I'm going to go into my remote desktop session.
Go to the Control Panel.
Click on uninstall a program.
Go down and here we see SolidWorks PDM server.
So I'm going to go ahead and change this installation.
I'm going to click next, go to modify.
We're doing SolidWorks PDM Standard,
so I'm going to keep that selected and click next again.
Here I'm going to make sure that I have the archive server,
the database server, and the client add-in selected.
I'm going to go ahead and click next.
Now if any part of these didn't come through
in your installation, you can go through and reinstall them.
But you'll want to make sure that you've got all of the ones
that you want installed and not just one item to add on.
Again we're doing this for SolidWorks PDM CAD Editor.
So we have a CAD editor license,
a contributor license, and a viewer license.
Viewers can simply view files
that exist in the SolidWorks archive vault.
Contributors can add files and do some modifications
but cannot add any of the CAD files.
The CAD editor has free reign to operate inside the vault.
Editing files that are SolidWorks based
or Microsoft based or anything in between.
Let's go ahead and click next.
We're not going to add any of the add ons for SolidWorks
or DraftSight only because we're not running SolidWorks
or DraftSight on this server.
If by chance the location where you keep your server
also has a C to SolidWorks or DraftSight
or if you're using any of the tools inside of there
and you want to maybe be able to open it up and take a look,
you can put these add-ons in as well
but we're going to refrain from doing that now
and add these in on our client installs
on each user's machine later.
So we're going to go ahead and click next here.
You'll notice that we have to log in to our SQL database.
So this is connecting SolidWorks PDM
to that SQL database that we had created.
Here I'm going to very carefully type
in the password that we had created for that.
Just be real careful when you type these in
and make sure you get it right.
It will throw an error otherwise.
Go ahead and click the local server here that we installed.
Now we've got our local server selected for SQL.
We've got our password in, our login name in.
We're going to go ahead and click next.
And click install.
This is going to go through and correct
and make any modifications that we had wanted.
You can see here it starting the archive server service
which you can turn on and off.
So now that we've gone through that modification process,
we're going to go ahead and click finish.
After all of these installations,
we also have to do a restart.
We're going to go ahead and restart the machine.
You can see it dropped me out of my remote desktop.
Now we have to wait until the restart is complete.
Alright, and now that our server location
has had enough time to restart and come back online,
we're going to open up our remote desktop connection again.
We're going to notice a few things right away.
If we go down to the dropdown,
we'll see that the SolidWorks PDM archive server is running.
If you left click on it, you can see that you can open it,
stop the server, or restart the server.
This is actually what's handling the file management.
It's the server process in the background.
So you can go ahead and open that.
Take a look at the archives.
Right now we don't have any vaults created,
so there's no archives in here
but we can see that it's running properly.
We can now look and make sure all
of our other software is installed as well.
So we've got the administrative tool,
the archive server, the database server,
our SolidWorks network license manager.
And now we have a complete suite of all the tools
we need to get ready to go into the next process
which is going to be creating a vault.
