EDM V2.1 / Installation Manual Ausgabe 11/2012 Edition

• Each EDM-Service needs access to a Configuration Server. The user might change it in the

Configuration Server text box.

• The SIPLACE Line control contains the SIPLACE Pro names of the (physical) lines that

are assigned to this Client computer. If needed, multiple lines may be selected via the

Multiselect button.

CAUTION

It is necessary to define this setting if

– the EDM VDM BLOB functions are to be used (especially for the Extended

Difference Editor)

– Protection against overwriting current product data is activated in push mode

(see section 6.3.7.4 Protection against overwriting current production data).

Otherwise, BLOBs will be accepted for all SIPLACE Pro lines present in the local

SIPLACE Pro database (see section 6.3.2).

• The EDM Line Alias text box defines the alias name used to identify this Client computer

NOTICE

The alias name should always be defined for EDM Line Servers.

• The Server type combo box lets the user select the computer’s role, which usually should

be set to “Line Server”.

5.3 EDM Configuration Manager

The EDM Configuration Manager is the central tool to control an EDM environment. The user

changes settings and options that are then transferred to the Client computers.

After changing a setting, the user applies them with the Save button. If changes were detected, a

dialog is shown to confirm the immediate transfer to the affected EDM Client computers.

5.3.1 Regular expressions for search patterns, rules and roles

In several edit fields, regular expressions are used instead of (case-sensitive) string patterns.

Some edit fields provide a Regexp check box to activate regular expression evaluation on this field;

others use regular expressions by default (e.g. the Name Pattern section of the notification rules).

EDM uses the standard regular expressions of the .NET Framework. A reference guide is available

on Microsoft®’s MSDN online library (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/az24scfc.aspx).

5.3.2 Configuration Sets

The left-hand side of the GUI shows a list of all configuration sets. The context menu makes

available some edit functionality (New set, duplicate…).

By selecting an EDM Configuration Set, all subsequent operations refer to this Configuration Set.

The grid on the right-hand side shows the name of the configuration item, together with the location

of the associated configuration file (on the configuration server). The checksums serve as “unique”

version identifier e.g. to detect changed configuration items.

5.3.3 Lines Settings

EDM V2.1 / Installation Manual Ausgabe 11/2012 Edition

The Lines Settings tab provides an overview over the EDM network and shows each registered

computer, together with its associated role.

This dialog is an editor to the basic line data given during the setup (cf. section 5.2.1.2).

In addition, the behavior of the EDM VisionDataManager may be changed in the VDM Handling

column. For detailed information on these settings, please refer to section 6.3.6.29, Advanced

vision data actions.

5.3.4 Roles

Figure 5-1: Configuration of EDM roles

The Roles tab defines which configuration set shall be sent to the EDM Clients.

This dialog may be useful if e.g. one of the EDM Line computers (“NPI-Line”) has a special role

(NPI) which requires different filter settings. In this case:

► Create a new configuration set in the EDM Configuration Sets tab

► Click on the location item of the configuration item that should be different from the standard

settings and duplicate the file using the context (“right mouse button”) menu entry “Save linked

configuration as…”).

► In the Roles tab, create an entry that points to the newly created configuration set and give the

Line (alias)name, Windows User or EDM Version to which the setting shall refer.

The first entry that matches the conditions (Line name or current Windows user) determines the

configuration set, which is sent to this EDM Client.
