Prerequisite is a correctly set up CAD-System.
Information on CAD integration can be found at Chapter 2, 3Dfindit - CAD Integration - Administration .
The CDE directory can - if not already present - be copied from %cadenas%/iface/plm/ifsapectr to the customer's applications directory, which must be done by the customer. This is necessary so that the CADENAS (CDE) application is available. This also includes the rfc-tunnel-whitelist.txt file (see next point).
Under C:\Program
Files\PARTsolutions\iface\plm\ifsapectr\cde\customize\config
you will find the file rfc-tunnel-whitelist.txt. The file allows the execution of certain calls that are otherwise not permitted. The customer must be informed of this.
