This page presents how to select search folders to show in the Project Server Manager display on Welcome page, and to setup auto-start options.
Server Workspace
After clicking Find Projects in the Project Management interface, you will be addressed to the Project Server screen, which allows to easily set a project to auto-startup and define if the Project Selector list will exhibit projects from a local or remote computer.
| Project Server | ||
|---|---|---|
| Field | Type | Description |
Local Computer Files | Radio button | Sets project selector list to be built from the local computer. |
| Project Server | Radio button/Field | Sets a server to build the project selector list from. |
| Connect | Command button | Connects to the project server set. |
| Update... | Command button | Updates project server status. |
| Server Information | Text | Shows server IPs. |
| Running Services | Text | Shows current server's running services. |
| Local Search Folders | Exhibit local folders set to search projects and the options below. | |
Add Search Path  | Command button | Adds new local path to search for projects. |
Remove Search Path  | Command button | Removes a local path to search for projects. |
| Allow Remote Access | Allows remote access to the local paths set. | |
| Allow Remote Run | Allows running a local project remotely. | |
| Virtual Path | Field | For each search path you enable remote access, an extra layer of security can be added by defining the Virtual Path. This string works as a key required to access the project in that folder. If the folder allows remote access and no virtual path is defined, any remote user connected to this server will have access to query projects from that folder. |
The platform will look for .tproj files in the paths set. If the list is empty, check the search paths or the connection with the remote server. Also, try Creating a New Project. If an error occurs when the project is loading, a log is created at "C:\Users\Public\Documents\TLocalSettings\". |
Finding Projects
The Project Server denies if the Projects list is using the Local or Remote computer <<<<. what does the ProjectServer deny? or is the ProjectServer denied?>>>>. This configuration is located at the Server tab, and the currently defined ProjectServer is displayed in the bottom left on the Project List page.
On the Local Computer
The projects exhibited in the Project Selector list are the ones set in Local Search Folders when the application started to run.
If you copy a new project (.tproj extention) to a folder listed in Local Search Folders, it will not be exhibited in the list right away; it is necessary to click the Refresh button to refresh the list.
In order to add or remove a folder from the search paths:
Click "Find Project..." to display a list of existing search paths. If the "Find Project..." button is not visible, check the Project Server configuration and change it to Localhost. <<<<<ainda temos as funções listadas abaixo?>>>>>>
- Add or remove paths from the search list
- Define other search criteria below
Finding Projects settings | |
|---|---|
Field | Description |
Current Project Server | Display-only. Shows from which computer the Project List is being queried. |
Include Sample Projects | Selected by default. Uncheck to exclude sample projects from the list. |
Include Published Projects | Selected by default. Uncheck to exclude published projects from the list. |
Find | Click to navigate to a Project. The folder for the project you select is automatically added to the Search Paths list, so all the Projects on that folder will be added to the list. |
Search Paths | Add or remove paths from the search list |
Allowing Remote Access
Any folder included on Local Search Folders can be enabled or not for Remote Access.
The permissions for remote users access is by folder, therefore place your projects on the folders accordingly. You can keep many projects in one folder, or create a folder for each one.
To manage remote access for your projects:
- After adding a search path, select the one you would like to allow remote access.
- Check Allow Remote Access to enable remote access for selected folder.
Check Allow Remote Run to enable projects from selected folder to be run by remote users.
- If necessary, enter a Virtual Path.
ProjectServer service must be running to accept the remote connections. If using the Embedded Web Server (TWebServer) platform, no configuration is required. If using Microsoft IIS web server, see Installing on Microsoft IIS. |
On the Remote Computer
When connected to a remote computer, the Search Folders and allowing access to the projects shall be executed on the Remote Computer. <<<<??>>>>>
On the client side, it is only possible to connect to server and enter the Virtual Path key that define which paths from the remote computer you have access.
The process to check if the remote Server meets all requirements to allow remote access is described in Project Server.
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.
To use this feature on all computers connected to the same network, the following configurations are required:
Work Faster
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 utilize 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 get to 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 the License tab. You should see a square box with information on the license.
Under the Engineering User field, you will find the amount of concurrent engineering users that are supported by the current license.
Setup the Project Server to Remote:Localhost, instead of Local (Direct local file access, not using Project Server)
A Project cannot be opened for editing on local and remote simultaneously. If this occurs, anyone that remotely connects to the Project will view the project as ReadOnly.
For multiple engineering users to edit the same project, the project server must also be connected to itself.  |
ProjectServer Service Verification
Check if the ProjectServer service is running on both local and remote computers using the procedure described at Service Verification.
