Please perform the AppServer Client configuration in PARTadmin -> category AppServer client.^[13]

AppServer connection: Here, you can define how clients should access the AppServer, meaning via which ports, whether a local AppServer should be used, whether the AppServer has only to be used for searching or for catalog browsing as well.

PARTadmin -> Category "AppServer client"

The following listing explains the settings in detail:

Catalog browsing, search and database with AppServer and Catalog browsing and search with AppServer

There is only ONE central data directory for multi-installations.

All access (catalog browsing and search [at option Catalog browsing, search and database with AppServer to LinkDB as well]) is processed via PARTapplicationServer - regardless from which location.

Thus select one of these options, if PARTsolutions is used remotely without synchronization of catalog data.

	Note
	Therefor a specific license is needed. Compare Section 1.3.9.6, “Licenses for the PARTapplicationServer ”.

	Note
	Using the API requires another license. Thereby third party systems can access the PARTapplicationServer.

Note

When using the option Catalog browsing, search and database with AppServer there is no direct connection between Client and LinkDB, but via AppServer as well.

With Catalog browsing, search and database with AppServer there is no write access to $CADENAS_DATA. However, certain operations which require access can be performed by the Admin. On this see ???.

Search with AppServer
Only the search runs on the AppServer.

Note
For this no extra license is needed.
Use local AppServer (default)
Using the local AppServer is advantageous compared to pdatamgr.exe. This is running on 64Bit, whereby possible memory problems are avoided.
The local AppServer is only used for searching, not for catalog browsing.
The AppServer is automatically started and exited together with PARTdataManager. If Seamless is also started, then Seamless uses the already running application.
Do not use AppServer
All processes are running via PARTdataManager.
Load setup via AppServer / Load SiteSetup via AppServer (Default is off): These two options are only useful in restricted scenarios (e.g. Client, which does not have CAD systems and customization => PARTdataManager viewing mode e.g.).
In the default setting these options are off, which means that the local setup and sitesetup are used. Forconnections with low bandwidth especially the setup should be locally due to its size.

	Note
	More details on settings can be found under ???.

Enter server address and ports: (only enabled when using one of the following options: Catalog browsing, search and database with AppServer | Catalog browsing and search with AppServer | Search with AppServer)

Server address: Here please enter the server address.
Ports
Activate/deactivate the desired ports via checkbox. HTTP port and Service port are the standard ports without SSL encryption. If SSL encryption is desired then use HTTPS-Port and SSL-Service-Port (normally either/or).
- HTTP port: 9020 (default) [used for the file system]
- Service port: 9021 (default) [used for index and search]
- HTTPS-Port: 9022 (default): When activating the dialog area SSL is activated. See Section 1.3.9.9.3.3, “SSL encryption ”.
- SSL-Service-Port: 9023 (default): When activating the dialog area SSL is activated. See Section 1.3.9.9.3.3, “SSL encryption ”.
Use SSL:
Activate this option if you want SSL encryption. See Section 1.3.9.9.3.3, “SSL encryption ”.
Tunnel services via web sockets:
Optionally for SSL encryption. See Section 1.3.9.9.3.3, “SSL encryption ”.
Use proxy server:

Diagnostic:

Use external browser
Show server state

If the AppServer is active, in PARTdataManager, down right in the status bar, a respective icon is displayed. The tooltip shows the respective information at mouseover.

There are five categories, which can be displayed at mouseover:

Search service
Login service
Database service
File system service
Index service

Which of the categories is displayed depends on the option chosen in PARTadmin -> category AppServer client -> AppServer connection.

With connection is displayed, otherwise .
