3 Installation

3.1 View Server

It is a prerequisite that the Oracle AutoVue 20.2.3 Client/Server deployment is already installed. If you want to activate tunneling with the Agile e6 AutoVue Integration, the AutoVue Proxy/Vue servlet (as described in the Oracle Autovue 20.2.3 Client/Server deployment documentation) must be available.

To set up AutoVue GUI files:

  1. Copy/transfer the zip file "AutoVueGuiFiles.zip" with the Agile e6 AutoVue Integration GUI files from the EDM Server to the View server. The file is available on the Agile EDM Server in the folder:

    <ep_root>/installer/tmp/AutoVueGuiFiles.zip
    
  2. To activate the GUI adaptations for the Agile e6 AutoVue Integration, extract the content to a temporary directory and copy the files to the following folder on the View Server:

    <autovue_root>/bin/profiles
    

    Note:

    To define the GUI file user specific, use the default PVM-GUI-FIL.

    The complete list of AutoVue default parameters can be found in the Online Help > Defaults.


3.2 Agile EDM Application Configuration

To use the Agile e6 AutoVue Integration, some basic setup steps need to be performed in the dump. More detailed information about the configuration of the Agile e6 AutoVue Integration can be found in the "Manager Information" section of the Online Help for the AutoVue integration module (pvm).

The following values must be changed in order to use the Agile e6 AutoVue Integration.

  1. Start a Java Client with a manager user and select "System > AutoVue > Configuration".

    The following parameters must be adapted:

    Parameter Value Description
    EDB-PVM-AV-PROXY e.g.: http://<tomcat_server>:8080/VueServlet/servlet/VueServlet The URL where you can reach the AutoVue tunneling servlet. Only necessary if EDB-PVM-AV-USE-PROXY is set to "true".
    EDB-PVM-AV-USE-PROXY e.g.: true or false If you want to use HTTP(S) communication, set this to true.
    EDB-PVM-AV-SERVER e.g.: socket://<AutoVue_server>:5099 The socket where the AutoVue server is waiting for requests.
    EDB-PVM-AV-DMS e.g.: http://<weblogic_server>:<weblogic port>/VueLink/Vuelink The Oracle Agile DMS Servlet address.
    EDB-PVM-AV-DFM-SITE <siteId> The DFM site to use for the AutoVue server.
    EDB-PVM-AV-SITE-REF <siteId> Link to the EDB-PVM-<siteId> settings which should be used additionally to the settings defined here.

  2. To test the configuration you can execute the following links in your browser:

    • VueServlet (only if you have set up the AutoVue tunnelling servlet):

      e.g.: http://<tomcat_server>:8080/VueServlet/servlet/VueServlet

      The tunnelling response page has to be displayed.

    • VueLink Servlet:

      e.g.: http://<weblogic_server>:7103/VueLink/Vuelink

      The Vuelink response page has to be displayed.

    • AutoVue Applet:

      e.g.: http://<AutoVue_jetty>:5098/AutoVue/jvue.jar

      The download dialog for the jar file has to pop up.

3.3 Installation Architecture with Firewall support

This is an extension to the default installation without firewall described at the beginning of this document. Following picture shows the differences to the default installation with simplified communication.

differences to default installation

Two additional components are in use. "AutoVue Proxy" and "HTTP(S) support /PLM-API".

For this, installation changes have to be performed on the Agile EDM Server and the View Server. How to setup the proxies outside the intranet is not part of this documentation.


Note:

You have to use a separate server for the View Server because the transformation of the native CAD data uses a lot of memory and CPU resources.

  1. Set up the installation without firewall in the intranet as described in the section "Installation architecture without firewall".

  2. Install the AutoVue Proxy on the View server. The AutoVue Proxy installation is described in the Oracle AutoVue 20.2.3 documentation. Activate HTTPS for tomcat which is running the AutoVue Proxy if you want secure communication.

  3. Perform the tasks described in the section "Agile EDM application configuration", for each application.

  4. For this configuration set up the "EDB-PVM-AV-PROXY" and "EDB-PVM-AV-USE-PROXY" configuration parameters.

  5. Activate HTTP(S) support in the Java Client. For further information on how to set up a secure environment refer to the section "Secure Environment (HTTP(s) Support)" in the Security Guide for Agile e6.

  6. Test this configuration without firewall and proxy in DMZ.

  7. Set up your firewall and proxy in DMZ. As you can see in the above picture, the HTTP(S) connections to the View Server and WebLogic Server must be open.

  8. Test the configuration.
