Installing and Configuring the Workgroup PDM Web Server and Viewer

When you set up a Workgroup PDM Web server in a perimeter network, the installation location of the components is important.
  • Install the IIS-enabled Web server on the perimeter subnet.
  • Install the IIS-enabled Workgroup PDM Viewer on the perimeter subnet.
  • Install the Workgroup PDM Vault on the primary domain or internal network on the local intranet.

The prerequisites for installing and configuring Workgroup PDM Viewer in a perimeter network are:

  • Microsoft IIS 6.0 or later
  • A public IP address to the Web server on the perimeter subnet, assigned by your ISP provider

To install and configure the Workgroup PDM components:

  1. Install Microsoft IIS on the perimeter subnet server system.
  2. Perform two SolidWorks Workgroup PDM Server installations:
    1. First, install the Vault component on the Vault server.
    2. Run the installer a second time and install the Workgroup PDM Viewer and Viewer license components on the IIS Web server. Enter the vault server computer name so that the Web portal knows where to look for the Vault server service.

    When you perform the installation, the PDMWeb application is added automatically to the default IIS Web site.

  3. Ensure that the firewall to the internal network has ports 30000 and 40000 open.
  4. If the internal server has a fixed IP address, on the perimeter server system, edit the C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file. Create a system name to IP address mapping so that the perimeter server can communicate with the internal server:
    1. Open the hosts file in a text editor such as Notepad.
    2. Add a new line for the Vault server IP address and name.
    3. Save the hosts file.
