Install Pattern Libraries on a Network

In a typical workgroup environment (see Typical Configuration in the chapter "Installing CA Plex"), the pattern libraries are installed on a network drive where they are accessible by all developers. This ensures that all developers use the same version of the libraries, thus simplifying model administration.

To install the pattern or class libraries on a network server

1. On the server machine, run the setup program

   For more information, see Install the CA Plex Base Product in the chapter "Installing CA Plex."

2. Specify the directory where the libraries are to be installed.

   Note: You can use a UNC path (such as \\MyServer\MyShare\Libraries) as the location for the libraries. This means that all developers accessing the libraries on your network can also use the same path. The use of UNC paths is optional. If you need to access a library, and the path name specified at installation time is not recognized, CA Plex prompts you to enter a valid path.

3. Select the Custom installation option.

   Select the libraries that you want to install and clear the other options.
