Modelcheck install on network

Hi


I want to have modelcheck install on the network. I have been looking for a config option to telle ProE WF2 where to look for modelcheck (...\modchk\text\usascii). If I can place the files in the not default place then the users can have the same configuration and it will nok be overwrite when upgrading ProE.
 
use the mcdir environment variable and point to where the config is on your network...
If this is the first time installing I would recomend getting the PDF and reading it over quickly...
 
I am currently writing an article on ModelCHECK for Profiles, I will
see if I can cover the network aspect. If not, perhaps an addendum at a
later time.



However, its not much different than having Pro/ENGINEER installed locally.
 
For me I have all access from the server for software. Because I run MC
from the server install, I don't make use of MCDIR. The batch file that
initiates Pro/ENGINEER has the following related to ModelCHECK:





set MODELCHECK_REPORTS_ROOT=%WORKING_BASE%\modelcheck

set MODELCHECK_PREVIEW=%LOCAL_DRIVE%:\%MODELCHECK_REPORTS_ROOT%\ preview

set MODELCHECK_REPORT=%LOCAL_DRIVE%:\%MODELCHECK_REPORTS_ROOT%\r eports

set MODELCHECK_METRICS=%REMOTE_DRIVE%:\modelcheck\metrics

set MODELCHECK_DUPREAD=%REMOTE_DRIVE%:\modelcheck\dup_read

set MODELCHECK_DUPWRITE=%REMOTE_DRIVE%:\modelcheck\dup_write



if exist %MODELCHECK_REPORTS_ROOT% goto START_PROE

mkdir %MODELCHECK_REPORTS_ROOT%

mkdir %MODELCHECK_REPORTS_ROOT%\reports

mkdir %MODELCHECK_REPORTS_ROOT%\preview



You're only going to use the MCDIR if you set your configurations files
to load from somewhere else other than loadpoint. Pros and cons doing
it either way. I just backup the loadpoint so I don't find having a
separate config folder useful. However for workstation based installs,
I still didn't use MCDIR as I pushed the config files from a server.



Sorry, I didn't cover the super techy stuff in the article as time
constraints and the audience to reach was more suited to keep it lite
and "food for thought".
