If you require sample PDMS projects, please ensure that you check the PDMS models tick -box.
The Global tick-box installs the necessary support for the use of PDMS or other Plant products with
Global. There is a separate installer for Global server, which is usually installed on a separate machine,
such as a server, which does not necessarily have PDMS installed.
It is important that any files, including configuration files or sample data, that need to be updated by
users are accessible for read, write etc. so it is strongly recommended that they are not installed with
the software. This is particularly important when installing in Program Files at Windows 7 due to the
introduction of User Account Control (UAC) which brings new security restrictions. In particular, this
makes it important to ensure that files that need to be written are accessible by users without
Administrator privileges. This applies to folders specified by environment variables such as PDMSWK
and PDMSUSER. The Plant Suite installer has been revised to allow the separate definition of suitable
folders, with different defaults.
NOTES:
Installation in folders with spaces in their pathnames is not recommended as noted in the
Installation Guide. The use of such names for project folders is not currently supported as Global
and certain functions such as the project MAKE program do not yet handle them.
By default Global is not installed in the same folder as Plant (or Marine), however it is possible to
modify the installations to use the same folder. If this is done, and then one product is un -installed,
the other product installation will require repair.
Optional upgrades to existing projects are required for some new features. Please refer to the user
bulletin section 2.8 Upgrading from earlier releases. Please note however that the correct syntax for
applying the latest optional upgrade is DBUP PROJECT TO LATEST OPTIONAL.
