PDMWorks Enterprise Notes:
- The PDMWorks Enterprise server components can run on workstations
running XP, but in a production environment, SolidWorks Corporation
requires the use of a server-specific operating system.
- The minimum requirement is an absolute minimum. SolidWorks Corporation
cannot guarantee system performance or behaviour for installations running
on configurations not meeting the minimum recommended levels.
- The hard drive requirements are solely dependent on the size of data
stored in the system. Therefore, the actual requirements can exceed
the values in this recommendation.
- The recommended configuration is based on a typical installation
with approximately 20 users and approximately 60,000 stored documents.
- Prerequisites for installing any PDMWorks Enterprise component are
Windows Installer 3.1 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SQL_DMO backward-compatibility
drivers. These are automatically installed when running the PDMWorks
Enterprise setup.
- If using an administrative install image for client deployment, these
components will not be installed automatically.
- As the Database Server of PDMWorks Enterprise runs on SQL server,
we do not recommend installing any instances of other applications on
the database server.
