1 General

This document gives an overview of the functionality of ENI-4. At thesame time, it includes an instruction for the installation and initialconfiguration of the ENI-4 server with regard to the connection of anEPAS-4 project to a database. The programs ENI Admin and ENI Control,which are needed for the administration of the ENI-4 Server, are installedat the same time. The tool ENI Explorer can be installed by means of theuser-defined installation.

1.1 Overview

ENI-4 is the ENgineering Interface of the EPAS-4 programming system. Itconsists of a server and a client part. The ENI-4 server runs as aseparate service. Typical clients are one or several EPAS-4programming systems and tools accessing the same sources managedin a common data storage system. The use of ENI-4 offers someessential advantages. For the work with EPAS-4, it permits a versionmanagement for EPAS-4 projects, multi-user operation and access tothe project database by external programs.

1.1.1 Supported Database Systems

The server concept enables working with access to a common databaseinstalled on a remote computer. By default, the ENI-4 Server currentlysupports a local file system and the database systems ‘Microsoft VisualSourceSafe’, ‘MKS Source Integrity’ and ‘PVCS Version Manager’.

1.1.2 Communication with the ENI-4 Server

The connection between client and ENI-4 Server requires TCP/IP.Therefore TCP/IP must be installed both on the client and on the server.

1.1.3 ENI-4 in Combination with EPAS-4

The use of ENI-4 in the EPAS-4 programming system is optional. Forfurther information on this project option, please see User ManualEPAS-4.

ELAU AG recommends not to use ENI for versions older than EPAS-4V16.

Example:If you installed Visual SourceSafe in the directory"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS",you have to enter the following path:"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32".

Projects File:Several databases of PVCS Version Manager can be addressed via theENI-4. For this purpose, the databases need to be made known to the ENI-4. This requires the file Projects.ini. All databases and the correspondingarchives to be addressed via the ENI-4 must be entered in this file. If a newdatabase is created, the file needs to be adjusted. A sample file can befound in the ENI-4 program folder(Default: C:\Program Files\ELAU\ENI-4 V1\Projects.ini).It must be a plain text file with the following structure:

[Projects]xxx=yyydefault=yyy[Archives]xxx=yyy\archivesdefault=yyy\archives

The entries [Projects] with the keyword "default" and [Archives] with thekeyword "default" are important. They must always exist. The existingdatabases are entered in the [Projects] section, while the archives of therespective databases from the [Projects] section are entered in the[Archives] section (usually this means adding “\archives” to the projectname). In addition to the keyword “default”, you always have to enter thedatabase directory of the default database and the archive directory ofthe matching database after the “=” sign. You can enter any number ofdatabases. Please note that the placeholder xxx represents the name ofthe database in the ENI-4 and yyy always represents the folder of thecorresponding database.

Example:[Projects]Datenbank_01=d:\Datenbank_02Datenbank_02=d:\Datenbank_03default=d:\Datenbank_01[Archives]Datenbank_01=d:\Datenbank_02\archivesDatenbank_02=d:\Datenbank_03\archivesdefault=d:\Datenbank_01\archives

All databases (in this example, Datenbank_02 and Datenbank_03) inherittheir properties from the default database. For this reason, all databasesmust use the same configuration file and the same access control databaseof the default database (in this example, in folderd:\Datenbank_01\archives). You can save the projects to any place you like.

2.3 Administration and Configuration of the ENI-4 Server

NOTE

The installation and administration of the ENI-4 Server with the toolsENI Admin and ENI Control require administrator rights.

The software also includes the installation of the programs ENI Controland ENI Admin for the administration and handling of the ENI-4. If youopt for a user-defined installation (select “Tools”!) you can additionallyselect the tool ENI Explorer. However, this program is not serviced andmaintained by ELAU AG. Should you have any questions on handlingENI-4 Explorer, please check the online help.

NOTE

ENI Control and ENI Admin must be started separately, but cannot runat the same time. After the installation, these programs can be found inthe Start menu of the ENI-4 Server. They are also available via themenu that opens when you right-click on the ENI icon in the task bar.

2.3.1 ENI Control

With ENI Control, you can make basic server settings that cannot bechanged during operation, e.g. database connection, communicationsettings etc. Moreover, the ENI-4 Server can be started and terminatedwith ENI Control.

Further information is available in the online help.

2.3.2 ENI Admin

With ENI Admin, you can configure users, groups and access rights andexecute license management functions even during operation.

User administration can be organized with the tool ENI Admin.

NOTE

In connection with ENI Admin, please observe the following notes:

If Visual Source Safe 6.0 is used as a version management tool,there are restrictions in the individual selection of user name andpassword. Each may consist of a maximum of 6 characters.

The tool ENI Admin can only be started if the ENI-4 Server isrunning.

During a first installation, no password has been assigned; simplyenter no password when you start ENI Admin and confirm the dialogwith OK.

To establish a data connection via ENI-4 to the database, it is sufficientto be validly registered as a user in the database. However, an additional(previous) user definition in the ENI-Server may be sensible if e.g.detailed access rights are to be defined.

For the definition of users in the ENI-4, please note:To be able to use a user account created in ENI Admin, a correspondingaccount (with identical name and password) must exist in the database.

Each user account should be assigned to a group. For this purpose,select the desired group, click on ‘Edit’ and add the desired useraccounts to the group.

Further information is available in the online help.

For Visual SourceSafe, for example, use Visual SourceSafe Admin foruser administration. Make sure that the right database is opened in theversion management tool.

3 Connecting an EPAS-4 Project

The following example describes how objects of an EPAS-4 project arecreated via the ENI-4 server in the database defined there.

Start the EPAS-4 programming system and open any project.

Select the command ‘Project’ ‘Options’ ‘Project Source Control’

Activate the option ‘Use Source Control (ENI-4)’

Click on ‘Configure ENI-4…’

In the category ‘Project objects’, configure the ENI-4 connection asfollows:

Set TCP/IP address:Computer on which the ENI-4 Server is installed, e.g. "10.201.17.122"

Set port:Number of the port on which the ENI-4 Server is listening.Default: 80.

Enter project name:Name or path of the project as it should appear in the database inthe path entered under Root for Database connection in ENI Admin(e.g. "project1\projektobjekte" -> appears in Visual SourceSafeunder $/project1/projektobjekte if “$/” was defined as Root).

All other settings remain unchanged.

Click on ‘Next’:For this introductory example, make the same entries in thecategories ‘Shared objects’ and ‘Compile user files’ as in ‘Projectobjects’

Quit optional dialogs with OK:You are asked to log into the ENI-4 Server: Enter name andpassword of a valid user account

At this point the project is connected to the database, but the functionblocks as such are only saved “locally”. To transmit them to thedatabase, proceed as follows:

Select the command ‘Project’ ‘Data Base Link’ ‘Multiple Define’

In the Object properties dialog, select the database option ‘Project’

A file tree is opened.

In the file tree, select all function blocks you wish to save in thedatabase.

Confirm with OK

Now the selected function blocks you configured in the optional dialog‘Project objects’ are linked to the database. For these function blocks, alltypical database functions are now available in the context menu.

4.3 Hardware Changes in the Computer of the ENI-4Server

The licensing of the ENI-4 Server includes the hardware of the PC onwhich the ENI-4 Server is installed. If the ENI-4 Server is installed onanother system, you need to request a new license from ELAU AG. Youmay also have to request a new license if certain hardware componentsin the PC are changed.

The following algorithm is used to detect the unambiguous system IDwhen installing the ENI-4 Server license: If there are one or severalnetwork cards, the MAC address of the primary network card is used. Ifthere is no network card, the serial number of the system hard disk isused.

This results in the following cases that require new licensing:

The primary network card is removed or replaced by a new one.

There was no network card in the PC. Now a network card isinstalled.

There is no network card: The system hard disk is replaced or theboot directory is moved to another disk.

In all three cases, you need to request a new license from ELAU AG.

4.4 The ENI-4 Server Is Installed on a New Computer

You need to execute a new licensing procedure. Please start thelicensing procedure via telephone or e-mail.
