Server instalation of parts
(OP)
Can the standard parts server and Libraries be installed on a server without installing the full solid edge T2 app on the server?

Server instalation of parts

RE: Server instalation of parts
Choose a client machine that will admminister the standard parts. Then install the Standard Parts Server and Machinery Library applications onto the client. During the installation of both, you can direct the Parts Libraries to install to a location that is different to the standard 'C:\Solid Edge Standard Parts' here you can select some mapped network drive that is on the server instead.
This way the application ends up on the client machine but the parts and database end up on the server. the rest of the setup is identical when it comes to building the db etc.
Once setup you can direct other client machines to the StandardPart.SAC file on the server and they can make use of them too.
Hope that helps

Also is there supposed to be a database on the server as there seems to be one on the client, do I copy this?
RE: Server instalation of parts
Yes you should have a database file on the server. The one of your local machine is probably left over from a previous install.
The folder you directed the standard parts to on the server should have the following folders - Database, HTML, Standard Parts, Working Folder.

I imputed the correct paths for everything using the wizard which created my SAC file!

You can also run the register parts command from here. (you should have done this already to add the parts to the DB in the first place). If you go with the default method of using the Standard part installation database. Then the next dialogue will show you whats installed too.
You can also run the standard parts dialogue from within a Solid Edge assembly. You will find it on the parts library tab.
If you need help, training, best practice docs etc, we have some great material on www.solidmastermind.com. This includes step by step instruction on how to setup the standard parts actually. Your users will also find the video training very useful too as there are full training courses for beginner and advanced levels.
