Notification and subscription services

be involved in a project are getting notified when content gets added to a folder or when a key document changes.
• Subscribe to an object from many places» Properties page» Search results list» List page
• Different types have different subscription events
Export to CSV• Export the columns as set/seen to a CSV file

• Enabling Drag and Drop Functionality» For a better user experience in Document
Management
Drag and drop new files into ENOVIA
» C:\Tomcat\webapps\enovia\WEB-INF\classes‑ Create a file called emxFrameworkCustom.properties for these
properties• emxFramework.UseApplet=true (allow drag and drop on
Upload Documents)• emxFramework.UseDownloadApplet=true
» Modify the emxSystem.properties‑ C:\Tomcat\webapps\enovia\WEB-INF\classes‑ add an entry
emxFramework.CustomProperties.Filename=emxFrameworkCustom.properties
» Stop/restart Tomcat
Increase login timeout from 30 to 60 minutes• With a simple configuration change, you can
change the timeout to 60 minutes» C:\enovia2013x\server\distrib\enovia\WEB-INF\
web.xml• Session-timeout = 60
» C:\enovia2013x\server\Win_b64\Resources\Warutil\fragment\ENOLiveCollaborationServer.liveCollaborationServer.web.xml.part
Accessing MQL Prompt from the UI
• Admin users can run MQL from the ‘Tools’ menu on the top bar in the Enovia UI» This is very useful to quickly run scripts,
add/view/modify/delete objects and schema, and allows you to perform almost all Admin Tasks without leaving the Web App
Some Interesting Commands
• List out all Workspaces» temp query bus Workspace* * * select description;
• Quickly get a list of BO, ie Part» temp query bus Part * *;
• Print out license details, dependencies, etc.» print product DEC;
Configuring AutoVue to operate
• Some AutoVue pages may popup ok with the file, but other places it won’t (no AV toolbars or file)» Look closely at the url in the popup window
‑ It will show ‘ematrix’, the old default
acme.enovia.com/ematrix/servlet/C3DControllerSer…
Configuring AutoVue to operate» Fix the file ‘emxSystem.properties’ in both:
‑ C:\enoviaV6R2013\server\STAGING\ematrix\properties‑ C:\enoviaV6R2013x\server\distrib\enovia\WEB-INF\classes
» emxFramework.Viewer.ServletPreFix=/ematrix/servlet/
» emxFramework.Viewer.ServletPreFix=/enovia/servlet/
Column Name Edit After Adding New Attribute• The column name will change when a new
‘customer driven’ attribute is put in to place» This displays as:
‑ Displays as ‘emxFramework.Attribute.Customer_PN’• …\properties\emxFrameworkStringResource_en.properties• Add: emxFramework.Attribute.Customer_PN=Customer_PN
Admin can change the default ‘Document’ TYPE to all ‘DOCUMENTS’ when searching to add content to a Route• Change the file ‘emxComponents.properties’
• …\properties• …\WEB-INF\classes
• Settings• emxComponents.Routes.DefaultContentType = type_Document
• To• emxComponents.Routes.DefaultContentType = type_DOCUMENTS
Set the ‘User Agent’ email to the corporate email format, so it won’t be blocked• The ‘User Agent’ is used to send notifications to users
from ENOVIA for subscriptions, routes, etc. Some companies find that the emails are blocked if not using the corporate email domain.
• In MQL» mod person ‘User Agent’ email [email protected]
‑ Note: You don’t actually need a Windows ‘User Agent’
Setting up Email Server
• For Windows, add the following to ematrix.ini:» MX_SMTP_HOST=MailName
• For UNIX, add the following to the mxEnv.sh under rmi/scripts:» MX_SMTP_HOST=MailName
‑ where MailName is the mail for your company, for example, as20.chicago.acme.ws
• Test with MQL command: » send mail to bob.smith;
NX GCO CGR Size Control• The default mesh is too fine, and takes too long to generate
» cgr|surface_dist_tolerance=0.0001,surface_angular_tolerance=0.0,curve_dist_tolerance=0.0001,curve_angular_tolerance=0.0,delete_on_checkin=yes
• Change the values for less detail, but faster» cgr|
surface_dist_tolerance=0.01,surface_angular_tolerance=0.1,curve_dist_tolerance=0.01, curve_angular_tolerance=0.1,delete_on_checkin=yes
