Creating project sites

At the main site of a project, you can add support for a new project site. This procedure adds a new project-site object to the project database and transfers the ownership of that object to the target replica server. This object will then act as a "project seed" when the project is actually installed to the replica server.

Do the following:

1. In the CADMATIC desktop, with the required project selected, select Object > Manage Project. The Manage Project dialog opens.

2. Select the Replication tab.

3. Click Add. The Create New Project Site wizard opens.

4. Specify the replica server to use.

   

   • COS Replica Server – Select the COS server where the project is to be installed.

   • If the target server does not exist yet, click Create Replica and follow the instructions in Creating replica server installation (.cri) files to create an installation file for the new project site. This adds the new server to the COS Replica Server field.

   Click Next. The Setup for new project site page opens.

5. Define the resources available to the project site.

   

   • Max number of Design Areas – You can see the total number of design area identification numbers that are still available at the main site. Decide how many of those can be used at the new project site, and enter the number in the field.

     Important: This number cannot be changed later.

   • Model Filters – You can define which parts of the project area are visible at the new project site. See Model Filters for details.

   Click Next. The Ready to create new site page opens.

6. Click Create, and when the process is completed, click Finish.
