Adding a PLM Instance to CES

About Adding a PLM Instance to CES

A CES database can be associated with one or more PLM instances. Before a user can introduce a generic part or a single component to CES, the projects associated with the part or component must be added to CES. Before the projects can be added to CES, the PLM instance that houses those projects must be added to CES.  For more information about adding projects to CES, refer to Adding PLM Projects to CES. This topic describes how to add one or more PLM instances to CES.

    Please note that if you are working with Classic Interop, you have to create an entry for both the original port and the default port. The default port is 1570. Therefore, in this example, you would create the entry shown above, with PLM Connection Info set to h3d0118:10570, and you would create an entry with PLM Connection Info set to h3d0118:1570. (For both entries the PLM Domain Type and the PLM Instance Name should be the same.) For more information about working with Classic Interop, refer to ENOVIA / CATIA Interoperability.
