Working in Intralink workspace while offline

Working in Intralink workspace while offline

Working in Intralink workspace while offline

(OP)
Is it possible to open and access files in an Intralink 3.3 workspace even though i am not connected to the database server?  I have the correct licenses for ProWildfire and Intralink on my laptop. If i create the workspace when i am at work and check out the parts, can i open them in the workspace when i am out of the office?  I get an error (not connected to database) when trying to log into Intralink so i don't get to see the workspaces at all.  any help or hints would be great.  thanks

RE: Working in Intralink workspace while offline

The error is not workspace related, it is Intralink licensing related. Unless you have a borrowed license or a standalone license on your laptop, you can not launch Intralink or Pro/E.

"Wildfires are dangerous, hard to control, and economically catastrophic."
"Fixed in the next release" should replace "Product First" as the PTC slogan.

Actually i do have stand allone licenses for both products on my laptop.  I can launch Pro/Intralink but i cannot log in and cannot access workspaces.  is there a setting that makes them avalable somehow?  perhaps without having to log in?  the files should be somewhere on my laptop, right?

RE: Working in Intralink workspace while offline

This is not acheivable with Intralink client -- you must be able to connect to the database. However you may use Intralink Toolkit API to access only the Workspace objects.

RE: Working in Intralink workspace while offline

Hi,

Before you try and log into Intralink,  there should be an option at the bottom to Launch Pro-Engineer (without logging in) This option expands to Launch into a local workspace.

We use this option to work locally in a workspace if there are no Intralink licenses available.

This would only work assuming you could pick up a Pro-e license locally (assuming no connection to database/license server).

Hope that helps!

thanks, this worked.  the only thing is i had to make sure when i checked parts out of common space it was done as "local copy" instead of "linked"
