Run AVEVA E3D Design from Network Locations

Running programs directly from network locations is discouraged because:

• AVEVA installations have been redesigned to deploy well across networks.

• Network reliability and performance is less of a factor.

• Patch rollback functionality only works with local installations.

However, it is recognized that network based programs suit circumstances where:

• Multiple instances of the same program are required.

• An embedded tradition of working this way exists.

• Change impacts Quality Control systems.

So this information is provided to facilitate successful over network operation.

Definitive instructions on how to run AVEVA programs from network file servers are impractical, given the many ways in which AVEVA programs can interact with each other and with Project data. Not to mention other possible permutations.

So the following information is deliberately general and lacking in detail and it is aimed at assisting a highly skilled readership.

The following things must happen if programs are to be run directly from a file server:

• The programs and the projects environment must be correctly defined.

• Appropriate .NET Trust should be granted to the programs network location.

• .NETFramework Redistributable should be pre-installed.

• The appropriate shortcuts and drive mappings should be provisioned.
