application

Configuring Intergraph Smart 3D application involves a laborious set of

manual tasks as detailed below

On App server and the DB server (in case if you use remote DB server
for hosting DBs):

Control PanelSystem and SecurityAdministrative

ToolsComponent Services
In Component Services>Computers> My Computer > Distributed
Transaction Coordinator > Local DTC
 Right click Local DTC > Properties > Security > Select all
options as shown below

Restart the Distributed Transaction Coordinator service to get

the changes into effect

Verify that Distributed Transaction Coordinator service is

running and set to start automatically

Only on App server:

1. Make sure that Demo users group is member of Distributed

COM Users group on the server
2. Add Application server > Role service > COM+ Network
Access

3. In Windows Firewall

Create a new Inbound rule to all port 135 for all connections
and all profiles and name it as RPC with description (For
Intergraph SmartPlant 3D Name Generator)

Updated the newly created rule to > Protocols and Ports >
Local Port > RPC Dynamic Ports

Create a new Inbound rule to allow program %SystemRoot

%System32msdtc.exe for all connections and all profiles and
name it as MSDTC (For Intergraph SmartPlant 3D)

Create a new Outbound rule to allow program

%SystemRoot%System32msdtc.exe for all connections and all
profiles and name it as MSDTC (For Intergraph SmartPlant 3D)

4. Create ShipCatalogData Share folder

 1. C:Program Files (x86)SmartPlant3DRefDataShipCatalogData
as- \TESTSRV2ShipCatalogData and

2. give everyone Full permission on the share

2. Create SharedContent Share folder

1. o C:Program Files (x86)SmartPlant3DRefDataSharedContent

as- \TESTSRV2SharedContent and

2. o Give everyone read and change permissions

3. Run caspol.exe to add SharedContent path to the .Net Trusted

path

1. C:>C:packagingcaspol.bat

2. Enter SP3D/SM3D SharedContent directory (no trailing backslash,

no quotes) (e.g., \servernamefolder): \TESTSRV2SharedContent

3. Microsoft (R) .NET Framework CasPol 2.0.50727.5420

4. Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

5.

6. Added union code group with "-url" membership condition to the

Machine level.

7. Success

8. Press any key to continue . . .

9.

10. C:>

4. SQl Database: Should be 2008 SP3 Standard/Enterprise

5. DB configuration running user should have SysAdmin role on the

DB instance

6. Register the SQL Server by Opening SQL Studio, connect to DB

instance, right click the instance after connecting and then
click Register
7. In the New Server Registration, set Login to sa user, Click Test,
if successful, then click save

8.

1. Launch Start MenuProgramsIntergraph SmartMarine 3DDatabase

Tools
2. Select Create a new site and in the next wizard fill the details
shown below respectively and click
Next

1. 1. Database Type:

1. Site DB Server : TESTSRV2SMART3D

2. Site DB name: S3D_V11R1_SDB

3. Site DB workshare location: USA

4. Name Rule ID: 1

 5. Name Generator server for site: TESTSRV2

2. 2. Create Site Schema database:

1. Template File for site

schema: \TESTSRV2ShipCatalogDataDatabaseAppRepos.dat

2. Site Schema server: TESTSRV2SMART3D

3. Site Schema name: S3D_V11R1_SDB_SCHEMA

3. In Catalog Database and Schema dialog, choose Use existing

catalog created in Project Management or Bulkload

4. Click next in Ready to load databases

5. Upon successful installation, click Finish

1. Launch Start MenuProgramsIntergraph SmartMarine 3D Project

Management
1. Click Database > New > Catalog

2. In the New Catalog wizard input below values

Catalog DB server: TESTSRV2SMART3D

Catalog DB name: S3D_V11R1_CDB

Catalog DB server: TESTSRV2SMART3D

Catalog DB server: S3D_V11R1_CDB_SCHEMA

Template Options: choose Create a new catalog from a template:

change template path
from \TESTSRV2DatabaseTemplatesCatalogDB.dat to \TESTSRV2Shi
pCatalogDataDatabaseSM_ShipCatalogDB.dat

In Symbol and custom program file location :

type: \TESTSRV2ShipCatalogDataDatabaseSM_ShipCatalogDB.dat

2. Upon successful catalog creation, select the SmartMarine 3D in

Project Management , goto Database > New > Ship >

1. In general tab give: Name = S3D_V11R1_MDB; Description = For

Test from TESTSRV2

2. In Databases tab in below values as shown

From drop down list select each of below DBs, their server and DB
names as required

Catalog: S3D_V11R1_ CDB

Model: S3D_V11R1_ MDB

Reports: S3D_V11R1_ RDB

Name Generator server for ship: TESTSRV2

3. Then click OK

Application uses below config data points:

To Locate DataBase Server: Uses registered SQL Servers in user

profile to auto locate its Database server. This config file is saved in
"$ENV:AppDataMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL
Server100ToolsShellRegSrvr.xml" location. You need to ensure to copy
this file for all users of Smart3D.

To Locate the Site Database to Connect to: Uses HKCU registry to find
the DataBase to connect to for that user. The registry location is:
"HKCU:SoftwareIntergraphApplicationsEnvironmentsCommonAppProje
ctDB". The keys used are

1. PhysicalName (REG_SZ) :
SERVER=APPDBSMART3D;DATABASE=S3D_V11R1_SDB
2. Schema (REG_SZ) :
SERVER=APPDBSMART3D;DATABASE=S3D_V11R1_SDB_SCHEMA

To Locate other DBs: Site Database holds a table that contains the
configuration for Connecting to other DBs. The table is named
PRJMGTDatabase and the respective entries are Name, Path,
PMSchema as given below:

SELECT Name, Path, PMSchema FROM [S3D_V11R1_SDB].[dbo].

[PRJMGTDatabase]

Reports SERVER=APPDBSMART3D;DATABASE=S3D_V11R1_RDB
SERVER=APPDBSMART3D;DATABASE=S3D_V11R1_RDB_SCHEMA

Note: the PMSchema for Model point to Catalog Schema DB as there is

no Model Scheme DB.

The other references related to installed servers and Databases to be

taken care are below:
