Multi-User Collaborative Development
The software platform provides several tools and components to support the development, deployment, and management of industrial automation solutions, ensuring productivity, collaboration, tracking, visibility, and end-to-end quality.
Benefits
Multi-User Collaborative Development is a valuable tool for teams working on industrial automation and control systems, improving the development process's speed, quality, and efficiency. Engineering users can configure the server project Solution as workstations that are attached to the network instead of having to work on the server itself. As long as the developers are on the same network, they can access their projectsSolutions, keeping the server safer by reducing the number of people who need to log into it.
This feature also allows developers to use a central shared repository and edit a project Solution even remotely (not logged into the project Solution server itself).
- Improved
- Productivity: By allowing multiple users to work on the same
- Solution simultaneously, Multi-User Collaborative Development increases the speed and efficiency of the development process.
- Better
- Collaboration: Teams can work together more effectively and share information and ideas in real time, leading to improved teamwork and coordination.
- Enhanced
- Version Control: Version control capabilities
- make it easy to track changes, revert to previous versions, and merge changes made by different users.
- Increased
- Visibility: With Multi-User Collaborative Development, team members have a clear view of what others are working on and can better understand the
- Solution's status as a whole.
- Improved
- Quality: By allowing frequent testing and feedback, Multi-User Collaborative Development can lead to higher quality and more robust systems.
Requirements
The computers must have the software platform installed and licensed. To check if you match the requirements, follow the steps below.
Licensing Server Verification
1. Open the Project Solution Management screen and click Your License.
2. The Engineering Users field shows the amount of concurrent engineering users that are supported by the current license.
3. On the Project Solution Server interface (Project Solution Management → Find ProjectsSolutions), set the Project Solution Server to http://localhost, instead of Local (Direct local file access, not using Project Solution Server)
| Info |
|---|
It is not possible to edit a project solution locally and remotely at the same time. If this occurs, anyone that who remotely connects to the Project Solution will view the project it as ReadOnly. For multiple engineering users to edit the same projectSolution, the project Solution server must also be connected to itself. |
WebServer Service Verification
Check if the WebServer service is running on both local and remote computers using the procedure described at Service Verification.
The platform provides all of tools and components that help you to develop, deploy, and run your automation projects, and to monitor their behavior and performance.
See Running Projects for complete documentation.
