File Replication
File Replication
(OP)
Does anyone here have to deal with file replication? We will soon have 4 sites within a 60 mile radius that need to access the same Solidworks files. Currently the remote sites access files from a server at another site but it's way too slow.
I know some high end PDMs have this function built but what about something like PDM/Works? What options are there with no PDM?

RE: File Replication
I think PDMworks can handle this but to make sure contact your VAR. They can tell you for sure.
What options are there with no PDM?
Nothing that I know of, other than manaully figuring it out every time someone has to move files. You would have hire someone just for that type of a job to keep up.

RE: File Replication
Now our company has decided to split the R&D dept between several locations and this creates a problem for us to work on the same files at the same time. Replication must be real-time and will most likely have to be handled by some program that monitors all files. Just wondering if anyone has run across this.
How's the new job Scott?

If only I had other options, but alas Memphis is not exactly a Solidworks hotspot.

I hope everything works out for you. If you need anything don't hesitate to let me know. You tried helping me when I was out of a job last year.
As for the problem your dealing with now I think a PDM is going to be your best bet. I would check with your VAR to confirm that PDMworks will work but I don't see why it wouldn't.
