Generation of Viewables
wt.mail.mailhost=localhost
The value of "localhost" should be changed, using the xconfmanager, as per the
mail server and domain name, in order to send e-mail through the Rename Report
page.
Server-side generation of viewables is enabled by setting up the Windchill
Visualization Service.
For information about setting up Windchill Visualization Service, see the
Windchill Installation and Configuration Guide - Visualization Services
System Configuration Recommendations
Running Multiple Servers
Using External File Vaulting
Using Content Replication
It is recommended that Windchill and Windchill PDMLink be configured to run
multiple method servers on servers with multiple CPUs and to run Oracle on a
second server, especially when there is a single-CPU server running Windchill.
For more information on additional servers, see the Additional Method Servers
and Background Method Servers section in Performance Best Practices for
Windchill Pro/ENGINEER Data Management.
Content files persisted in external vaults are retrieved faster than content files
stored in Oracle as binary large objects (BLOBS).
Although use of file vaults can add complexity to backup and recovery operations,
vault management can be simplified by using the xconfmanager to set the
wt.property wt.fv.forceContentToVault = true. This causes all content to vault to
the DefaultCacheVault, keeping it out of Oracle BLOBs, without requiring
creation of a vaulting rule.
In the event that multiple vaults must be implemented at your site, a vaulting rule
applied to the User domain (where EPMDocuments are created) can direct content
to vault appropriately.
For more information on external vaulting and vaulting rules see the External
Vaulting and Vaulting Rule for EPM Documents sections in Performance Best
Practices for Windchill Pro/ENGINEER Data Management.
Content replication provides the means to copy selected content files from a
master server to remotely located replica servers for faster access by users at the
