This page presents how to collaborate with other users during the Project Development.



Multi-User Collaborative Development

Engineering users can configure the server project by using workstations, which are attached to the network, instead of having to work on the server itself.

Work Faster

Benefits

Speed up development by having a developers/engineers team working simultaneously in the same project — no need for merging or importing!

Work Safer

Remote Engineering allows you to have developers The feature also allows developers to use a central shared repository and edit a project even when remote (not logged into the project server itself).

As long as the developers are on the same network, they can access their projects, keeping your server safer by reducing the number of people who need to directly and remotely log into it.

To use this feature on all computers connected to the same network, the following configurations are required: 

Server Licensing Verification

Open the Welcome Screen and go to theLicense tab. You should see a square box with information on the license.

1. Open the Project Management screen and click Your License.

2. The Engineering Users field shows

Under the Engineering Userfield, you will find

the amount of concurrent engineering users that are supported by the current license.

Setup

3. On the Project Server interface (Project Management → Find Projects), set the Project Server to

Remote

http:

Localhost

//localhost, instead of Local (Direct local file access, not using Project Server)


A Project cannot be opened for editing on local and remote simultaneouslyIt is not possible to edit a project locally and remotely at the same time. If this occurs, anyone that remotely connects to the Project will view the project as ReadOnly.  

Info

For multiple engineering users to edit the same project, the project server must also be connected to itself. 

ProjectServer Service Verification 

WebServer Service Verification 

Check if the ProjectServer WebServer service is running on both local and remote computers using the procedure described at Service Verification.



Running Projects

<explanation about sandbox test mode and run local>

You can run a project by:

  • Using the Run
Project command button, or the Test Project
  • Setting an Auto-Start option at the Server tab
    •  button in Project Management.
    • Starting the execution manually after you open the
    Project for editing Both Test Project and Run Project, will start the project execution. The difference is that the Test Project will use any testing configuration created in the Project, such as alternate database connections, and other tools that simplify the development and validation cycle of the Project.
    • project for editing (Execute → Startup → Run Startup).
