Multi server for pdmworks

Multi server for pdmworks

Multi server for pdmworks

(OP)
hello all

we have 3 session in our factory with completely different activities on solidworks ...

so every session must have it's admin and clients ...

so is it possible using just 1 pdm service and 1 computer for vault data , but have 3 admin which shouldn't see themself in pdm.

really I want to not have admin permission equal for 3 admin so i can use 1 server for all.

If it's not possible , is it possible to use 1 server for every session but link between them so clients could access other session project if that admin permit them ?

RE: Multi server for pdmworks

Yes with PDM Works you can have as many users’ names as you wish. I have a name for me in the PDM as administrator, as designer, and as drafter. Also another PDM login for me as administrator that is set up for doing batch check-ins. I use the same password for all.
To let your clients see the vault you would need something like Web portal.

Bradley is right. We have 3 admin's and ~15 users, tool designer and machine shop. They are all set up with different privileges. Login to your PDMWorks VaultAdmin and change the settings to your liking.

RE: Multi server for pdmworks

(OP)
hello again
maybe I wrote badly ...
really there is 3 session : session1 , session2 and session3
there are diffrent from each other.
so thay have 3 admin : admin1 admin2 and admin3
and their clients : clients1 , clients2 and clients3
and they own servers : server1 , server2 and server3

1st question is : how can I merge 3 servers without any other affection ? (because of limitation of hardware existance and back up processing it's better to have just 1 server)

2nd question is : I want a master administrator in vault so he can permit middle administrators to define their clients ..
e.g: master admin defdines 3 admin ,
every admin define it's clients and permission ..
but the admins can't omit other admin , really they even can't see another admin in vault ...

Best regard

RE: Multi server for pdmworks

Sound to me like it is time to get your VAR “Value added Reseller” involved. It would be cheaper than making a mistake that you may have to pay for later.

To merge 3 data bases into one. If none of the servers have any common data your job will be easier. SolidWorks PDM has a balk check-in that works well.

I do not have an answer for question number 2. We rely on trust, that an administration person does not omit other admin’s.
