Note: Before proceeding, you must first create a filesystem into
which the ENOVIAV5VPM product files will be unloaded (the filesystem must
be dedicated to ENOVIA V5).
- Mount the physical media or download it.
- Launch
./start
shell command.
If you have downloaded the media, the start file will be located in
the folder 1.
- Check that the DISPLAY variable is exported appropriately before
continuing, then enter the command:
./start
to start the installation procedure.
The start command checks you have the correct prerequisites. Then, the
Version 5 setup program is run and the Welcome dialog box greets you.
The setup program invokes a full self-explanatory graphical interface
which walks you through the installation.
The Welcome dialog box is then displayed on a background
window. Note that the screenshots illustrating the installation
procedure were taken without the background window.
- Click Next.
The Choose
Destination Location dialog box appears. A default destination
folder is already proposed.
AIXInstallPath
- If the default destination directory is suitable, click Next.
Click Yes if prompted to create the directory if it does
not exist. Or, click Browse... and
navigate to select another folder and click OK.

The folder you choose must be empty. You can also specify a new
folder: the folder will be created after confirmation.
- Click Next.
The Choose
Environment Location dialog box appears.

A default destination folder is already proposed:
/CATEnv
- If the default directory is suitable, click Next or click
Browse... and navigate to select
another folder and click OK.

You can also specify a new
folder: the directory will be created after confirmation.
For more about environment files, refer to About the Environment Created on Your Workstation on UNIX.
- Click Next.
The Setup Type dialog box appears.

This dialog box lets you specify whether you want to install all of
the software on the media, or select the configurations and/or products
to be installed:
- Complete: specifies you want to install all the software, and moves
on to the next installation step (installation of online documentation
files) when you click Next
- Custom: lets you choose the configurations and/or products to be
installed.
- If you want to choose which configurations and/or products to
install, check the Custom option and click Next.
The Install Language-Specific File and Fonts
dialog box appears.
Check the buttons to install the user interface files for the
appropriate language(s) and/or to install language-indexed fonts. Uncheck
the buttons for the language files you do not want to install. Uncheck
the buttons for the language files you do not want to install. This will
let you skip the installation of unnecessary language files and fonts and
enable you to save disk space.
The following language-indexed fonts are all installed by default:
- Simplified Chinese
- Traditional Chinese
- Japanese
- Korean
- SSS4 (miscellaneous).
If you intend to access data containing language-indexed fonts for a
specific language environment, for example, drawing documents, if you
have not installed the fonts beforehand, you will obtain a message when
opening the document, saying that a font is missing and that it will be
replaced by another font.
To avoid this problem, we recommend that you check the option to
install the language-indexed fonts.
Note: The choice you make at installation is definitive: you
cannot add or remove languages or fonts later when installing additional
configurations and/or products.
- Click Next.
The Select Software
dialog box appears.

By default, the list of all the configurations on the media is
displayed.
- Choose whether you want to install configurations and/or products by
using the list box provided.
Depending on what you chose, the list will
display the names of all the configurations or products on the media.
- Click on the configurations and/or products to select them.
The
selected configurations and/or products are listed in the Selected
Software list.
In our example, we chose to install the DP2 - CATIA - Drawing
Production 2 and MD2 - CATIA - Mechanical Design 2 configurations:

The dialog box specifies the space available for the installation.
Clicking on each configuration or product also specifies the amount of
space required for installing those configurations or products; the space
required is updated progressively as you select from the list.
At this stage, and depending on the space required for the
configurations you are installing, you may be informed that there is not
enough space in the destination directory. If so, go back and choose
another destination directory where there is enough space.
There is nothing to prevent you from installing all the configurations
and products on the media. However, you will be able to use only the
software for which you have enrolled licenses, except if you are using a
demo mode license as explained in Running in Demo Mode.
- Click Next.
Depending on the
configurations and/or products you chose, the Install Extra Products
dialog box may appear:

An extra product is a standard product associated with certain
configurations and products. You can choose to install or not to install
an extra product.
For more information, refer to
Extra
Products.
- Click Next.
If your
configuration requires you to configure Orbix, the Choose Orbix
Configuration dialog box appears.
Orbix is used for server-client communications. You can accept the
default values.

Note: The default values are set to 1570/1590/200. If CATIA or DMU
have been installed previously, these values are already taken. If this
is the case, use different values than the CATIA and DMU port numbers.
For Port Number for Orbix daemon, the default is 1570. A
check is performed to determine if the port if free. If it is not free,
the port number proposed is incremented by "1" until a free port is
found.
For Starting port number for daemon-run servers, the
default is 1590. No check is performed to determine if the port if free.
If it is not free, the port number proposed is incremented by "20".
Check the option
Boot Orbix daemon at restart if you want the
Orbix daemon to be restarted the next time you reboot your workstation.
- Click Next.
The Server Timeout
Configuration dialog box appears. If your configuration uses servers
run by the server manager:

This value corresponds to the duration in ms after which the server
exits if it has not been contacted by the associated client.
You enter a value in minutes, then the value is internally transformed into ms and stored in the CATIAServerManager.imp
file. When launching a server under its
responsibility, the server manager passes the timeout value to it. The default value is 60 mn. The value can be increased up to 35.700 mn
(1 month). The value can be decreased down to 2 mn. The increment is 1 mn.
This
behavior is valid for all servers run by the server manager:
ENOVIAV5VPM, 3dcom, and
the settings server
for example. Only servers managed by the server manager take into account the
timeout parameter. For example, the workbook server is not impacted by
the timeout value.
You can customize this value by editing the SERVER_TIMEOUT parameter
in the appropriate file after the
installation and setting it to a value different from the
default one (1 hour).
Modifying Server Timeouts
This task explains how to modify the timeout of the
ENOVIAV5VPM, 3d com and Settings
servers. Note that the Settings server is common to both
ENOVIAV5VPM and 3d com.
To control the timeout of all servers globally, add the following line:
export SERVER_TIMEOUT=<value in milliseconds>
to the beginning of the file:
$install_path/code/command/runServerManager
Note: The default value is 3600000 milliseconds. The maximum value is
2142000000 milliseconds.
All processes started by the server manager then inherit the same
environment.
- Click the Next button to move to the next step.
The Vault Client Configuration dialog box is displayed.

When installing a Version 5 product which contains a potential vault
client, this dialog box prompts you to indicate if you want to configure
a vault client once the code has been installed. If you choose to
configure a vault client, you will be prompted to do so in another dialog
box which will be displayed before the PLMDBSetup process
is started.
After installation, you can run the VaultClientSetup
command in order to catalog another vault server, modify the parameters
of an existing one, or remove an existing one. The VaultClientSetupB
command provides the same functionalities in batch mode.
Note: You can only install a vault server by using a
configuration belonging to the
ENOVIAV5VPM brand.
For more detailed information about the vault, refer to
Setting Up Vault Servers and Clients.
- Click Next.
If you are
installing from scratch, the Choose Communications Ports
dialog box appears.

This allows you to set up on your computer:
- a port reserved for the communications backbone process
- a port reserved for starting the communications backbone process
automatically
- a port reserved for processing events when using peripheral devices
(spaceball, spacemouse, joystick).
By default, the Set up communication ports option is checked because
it is strongly recommended.
This installation step adds lines to various system files. For more
information about the communications backbone and which files are
concerned, refer to Communications
Backbone Files.
The installation setup analyses the file in question. If the three
lines are present (for example, due to a previous installation), the
dialog box will not appear.
Furthermore, if the installation path is different, the installation
path referenced in the /etc/inetd.conf file is updated. This
means that the most recent installation takes priority.
- Click Next.
This displays the
Start Copying Files dialog box.
The central area lists the current settings you set in the previous
steps. The result looks something like this (depending on which software
you chose to install):
- Click Install to start copying the files to your computer.
A progression indicator appears.
Depending on your AIX platform, the software may be provided on a
suite of medias. Once the software on the first media has been
installed, you will be prompted to insert the next media, and click OK
to continue the installation until you have inserted the last media.
Note: You must install all the software medias: you cannot, for
example, install only one out of two. If you click the Cancel button
before installing the final media, the software previously installed
will be uninstalled.
Vault Client
Setup
- If you indicated earlier that you want to set up a vault client, the
Vault Client Setup dialog box appears.

- Click Add... to display the following dialog box.

- Specify the Vault alias name, Server hostname and Orbix daemon port,
then click OK.
The Vault Client Setup dialog box is updated.

- Use the Modify... and Delete
to
modify or delete the selected configuration.For more detailed information about the vault, refer to
Setting Up Vault Servers and Clients.
- Click Close.
- Once the product files have been copied, the Setup Complete dialog
box informs you that the installation has been completed.
- Click Finish to start a Version 5 session.
An installation log is created (or the existing log is updated) in the
current temporary directory, located by default in:
$HOME/CXINST.log
If you did not import
a NODELOCK license certificate
If you chose to run Version 5 now, but did not import a nodelock
license certificate, a message window appears informing you that you have
not yet requested a configuration or product license:

Click OK.
The License Manager dialog box appears in front of the
application window, and contains a list of the names of installed
software. The configuration/product names are grayed out.

In our example, we installed the DP2 - CATIA - Drawing Production 2
and MD2 - CATIA - Mechanical Design 2 configurations.
Note: The field below each license specifies: "Not Granted". This
is because this is the first time you are starting Version 5, and you
have not yet reserved any licenses.
At this stage, if you click the OK button, a session will still be
started, but you will not be able to work with the product: menu commands
will be grayed out, and you will only be able to use the File > Exit
command.
