1. Operation modes and installation variants

1.1 Operation modes

There are two basic operation modes for the operation of TruTops: • TruTops in PDM mode

In PDM mode, all TruTops data (drawings, templates, sheet layouts, etc.) is stored in the file system and additionally monitored together with its properties and dependencies. This allows certain data to be searched for easily, quickly and efficiently. Due to the management of dependencies, all references between files are retained even after copying or moving them (e.g. sheet layout drawings). Detailed information about the PDM is provided in the software manual for the TruTops product2.

• TruTops in file system mode All files are stored in the file system without additional monitoring. Only Windows' customary search options are available.

The following table shows both of the modes and their characteristics:

PDM mode File system mode

1.2 Installation variants

There are different ways of installing TruTops. The installation primarily depends on whether TruTops is to be used as a single workstation on one computer or with several TruTops workstations in the network. TruTops as multi-user workstation in the network

TruTops is operated as a client/server system in the network. All data is stored centrally on the TruTops Server, the actual applications run on the clients and access the data of the server. There are two variants for the installation: • Client(s) and server(s) run on their own separate computers. • A client and server run on the same computer. Further clients

run on their own separate computers. This division helps attain maximum efficiency of the system, since every component has a separate computer.

A client can also be installed on the server computer. However if the client installed on the server computer carries out intensive computing tasks, it can lead to a power loss (e.g. during nesting). This makes it more difficult for other clients to access the server data.

2. System components

2.1 Notes

A number of additional system components are required in order to use TruTops. During the installation, the system checks whether these components have been installed. If not, they are installed automatically. The installation process is displayed on the screen. The computer automatically restarts after a few components are installed.

For this installation process, you should be aware of the following: • Unsaved data is lost after a restart. All open files and programs

should thus be closed before the installation. • If the installation is being carried out on an active server,

appropriate precautions must be taken for the server restart. 2.2 List of components

Information • The table contains all components available on the installation

DVD along with a brief description and installation notes. • The components that are actually installed depend on the

installation and the operation mode. They are displayed during the installation process.

• The components are listed in the table in alphabetical order. The actual order during the installation is displayed on the screen.

• The installation of some components requires user intervention. These components are described separately(see section 2.3, p. 14).

FirePDM

In order to use TruTops PDM, it is necessary for some of the TruTops PDM applications to communicate with other computers in the network. All access is monitored and unknown applications are denied access if a firewall is installed. Windows has its own system firewall, which is active in the default settings. A check is made during installation to determine whether the operating system has a firewall of its own. If so, the following mask appears:

Firewall dialog (example)

Select OK. If a firewall from another provider has been installed, it must be manually configured (see section "After the installation" on p. 20). Password

Each TruTops production system, the postprocessors of the machines and the options are protected by passwords. Furthermore, each dongle has its own serial number. You will be asked to enter the password file ("tops_pwd") during the installation. The following options are available for organizing passwords: • Load passwords from a diskette or from another medium

The password file is on a storage medium which can be selected in the follow-up mask.

• Adopt available passwords Passwords from already installed products can be adopted. The path of the password file is entered in the follow-up mask.

C331EN 2010-03-11 4BReady2Install: Pretesting Installation 17

3. Ready2Install: Pretesting Installation

The "Ready2Install" function can be used before the actual installation to check whether the system is suitable for the desired installation type. Here, installation is simulated without actually copying the data6 and without making any system entries. Ready2Install can either be started directly from the installation DVD or zipped into a zip file using a program of its own and copied to another medium (e.g. USB stick) (see Section 3.2, p. 18). 3.1 Running Ready2Install

Prerequisite • Installation DVD or zipped Ready2Install file.

1. If Ready2Install is available as a zip file, unzip it in a directory on the computer to be installed.

2. Start the '_READY_TO_INSTALL.BAT' file from the unzipped archive or from the installation DVD. The setup manager starts. If .NET-Framework is not installed on the computer, it is now installed. A message that the Ready2Install installation is being started is displayed.

3. Confirm the message with OK. The installation wizard starts. The title bar of the wizard has the additive "Ready2Install-Mode".

4. Configure the installation as in case of a real installation (see description from section 4, p. 19). After the configuration with the installation wizard, the prerequisites for the components are checked. Notes and errors are displayed as in case of a real installation. After the check is complete, a message to that effect is displayed.

6 Ready2Install requires runtime environments "Microsoft .NET Framework"

(V3.5, SP1) and "Microsoft Installer" (V3.1). If they are not available on the computer, they are automatically installed when starting.

3.2 Zipping the Ready2Install file

In order to run Ready2Install on several computers without the installation DVD, the program with all the required files can be zipped and copied to a network drive or another medium (e.g. USB stick). 1. Start the 'Ready2InstallCreate.exe' file on the installation DVD.

The zip program starts and the start mask is displayed. 2. Select Continue.

The following mask is displayed:

Query .NET Framework

The installation manager requires the runtime environments "Microsoft .NET Framework" (Version 3.5 with SP1) and "Microsoft Installer" (Version 3.1). When the manager is started, it is checked whether these environments are available and if not, they are automatically installed. Both the runtime environments must be zipped into the Ready2Install archive if they are not present on the computer to be tested.

3. Mark the runtime environments that are to be zipped into the Ready2Install archive.

4. Select Continue. A mask is displayed in which the directory for the complete zip file can be specified. The TEMP directory of the logged-on user is pre-selected by default.

5. Select Select to change the target directory. 6. Select Continue.

A message is displayed if there is already a zipped Ready2Install file in the specified directory. A summary of the entries is displayed.

7. Select Finish. The zipping process starts. After completion, an appropriate message will appear on the screen.

4. Initial installation in PDM mode

4.1 Necessary adjustments

Before installation

You should sort out and prepare the things described here, before beginning with the installation of your TruTops PDM system.

Tip Restart the computer before installation. The computers on which the PDM system is to be installed must fulfill the requirements from the "Installation manual TruTops Products, Part 1: System prerequisites". All of the data on the computer should be backed up prior to the installation. The computer has to be restarted after installing some components. All data, of any open programs which has not been saved, will be lost in the process. Therefore back up your data and close all open programs before the installation. Take appropriate precautions when installing on a running server. Installation via Remote Desktop or Terminal Server is not recommended, since the installation procedure is interrupted (the installation wizard starts, but the installation manager does not) in the event of certain security settings. You must observe the following things for the installation via a network (installation files are in the network): • The installation does not support any UNC paths. The directory

with the installation files must be connected to the computer to be installed with a drive letter.

• The path to the installation files must not contain any spaces. If TruTops is run on a computer without active network (e.g. Notebook), the "Microsoft Loopback Adapter" must first be installed before the installation (see section 12.7, p. 75) .

After the installation

TruTops Cell can be installed in the PDM mode from version V03.11.00 onwards. If an older version is already installed in PDM 1 mode, it must be switched from the PDM mode to the file system mode after the installation of PDM 2 because PDM 1 and PDM 2 cannot be installed on one computer at the same time (see section 10.3, p. 50). Firewalls monitor access to and from a computer. Access to the computer by programs unknown to the firewall is blocked. If a firewall is installed, it must be configured accordingly to allow the TruTops PDM server to communicate with its clients without restriction.

Note You do not have to make any changes if your firewall is only set up to defend attacks from outside your company network. Windows XP firewall Windows XP has an integrated firewall which denies access to any unknown programs. This firewall can be configured automatically during the installation to allow TruTops PDM to work perfectly. Setting up a firewall If you have installed another personal firewall, you must allow server and client operation in your local network for the following applications: • Programs

Configuring the firewall


TruTops PDM reacts to changes in TruTops files (e.g. GEO, .LST, etc.). These changes are made during normal use of TruTops applications but can also be caused by certain virus scanners. These additional changes can lead to the PDM system being blocked, thus leading to internal errors (called "Timeout" error in the PDM log files). The following settings should be configured in the virus scanners in order to prevent this:

1. Exclude the following file types from the access check of the virus scanners: .TMT, .GMT, .TAF, .GEO, .LST, .JOB, .PPJ, .PDF, .BMP.

2. Exclude the following processes on the server computer from the access check of the virus scanners (if not specified explicitly, then paths starting from '%TOPS_DRIVE%\TRUMPF.NET'): – \Utils\PDM2\bin\pdmBrowser.exe – \Utils\PDM2\bin\pdmCLI.exe – \Applications\PDMServer2\bin\TruTopsPDM.exe – \Applications\PDMServer2\bin\TruTopsPDMservice.exe – \Applications\PDMServer2\bin\NT_Naming_Service.exe – \Applications\ProgrammingSuite\bin\

10.2 Conversion from file system to PDM

When switching over from file system to PDM, a differentiation must be made between a single installation and a multi-user installation. From single-user file system to PDM

If a single-user system with a network database is installed (server and client on the same PC), the installation is applicable for a switchover from the multi-user file system to PDM (see the next section). When expanding a single workstation with local database to a client/server system, the database of the single workstation computer can be transferred during the installation. If several single workstations work with a local database and all stations are to be switched to PDM, a database must be defined before the installation from which data should be transferred. 1. Start the TruTops PDM update (see section 3, p. 17). 2. Activate expert mode in the "Product integration" mask (see

section 10.1, p. 46). 3. Enter the Access database from which the data is to be

transferred. 4. Continue the installation.

10.3 Reconfiguration of TruTops Cell from PDM 1 to file system

TruTops Cell can be installed in the PDM mode from version V03.11.00 onwards. If an older version is already installed in PDM 1 mode, it must be switched from the PDM mode to the file system mode after the installation of PDM 2 because PDM 1 and PDM 2 cannot be installed on one computer at the same time. Note The configuration must only be performed on the client computers.

Prerequisite • TruTops with PDM 2 is installed.

1. Connect the free drive letter on the PDM 1 computer (client) with the following release (the release is automatically set up during the installation of PDM 2): – '\\<PDM2 server17>\TRUMPF_PDM2'

2. Open the ini file of TruTops Bend / Cell (path to the file: Module Info >Files >Current TruTops INI file).

3. Search for the following entries in the ini file and change them as follows: – PdmServiceName =

11. Data backup

11.1 Backing up PDM data

Backing up files

With the introduction of PDM 2, files from TruTops are no longer stored in encoded form in the PDM system. They are freely accessible in the Windows file system instead. As a result, no special data backup method is necessary for the stored files. The files can be backed up using any data backup program. The files whose backup is to be taken are located in the following directories on the PDM server: • '%TOPS_DRIVE%\TRUMPF.NET\DATA_PDM2'

(or via release name: \\<PDM server>\TRUMPF_PDM2) • %TOPS_DRIVE%\TRUMPF.NET\DATA_PDM2_Versions • %TOPS_DRIVE%\TRUMPF.NET\BACKUP_PDM2 • %TOPS_DRIVE%\TRUMPF.NET\SqlSrvDB\Backup Backing up the PDM database

The properties and dependencies of the TruTops data are saved in the PDM database. The "ToPsBackup" program is available to back up the database. The backup program creates a backup file of the complete PDM database in directory '%TOPS_DRIVE%\TRUMPF.NET\SqlSrvDB\Backup\DBs\TPDM_V03_V003'. The storage location is defined automatically during the installation. It can be changed as required after installing TruTops (see following section). An automatic service is created at the time that TruTops is installed (Windows XP: "Planned tasks", Windows Vista/7: "Task planning"). The service starts the data backup procedure, by default, once a day. The service can be individually adjusted (starting time, frequency, etc.).

The starting time and frequency of the data backup procedure can be changed after installing TruTops. The backup procedure can be started manually at any time.

12.5 Merging materials

Before TruTops V1.0, the product databases of TruTops Laser and TruTops Punch were separate. It was possible for the same materials to be named differently in the two databases (e.g. "Stainless steel 1.4301" in ToPs 100 and "Stainless steel, 1.4301" in ToPs 300) due to the separate data management. Since the two databases have been merged from TruTops version 1.0 onwards, it is possible that there might be several entries in the common database for the same material. The "MaterialMergeTool" program can be used to find these double entries and allocate them to an existing material.

1. Start the '<TruTops drive>:\TRUMPF.NET\UTILS\DbTools\MaterialMergeTool\ MaterialMergeTool.exe' file on the client PC.

2. Select a language and select OK. The program starts.

All materials created in the database are listed in the left-hand column. All materials which you have created manually can be seen in the right-hand column.

3. Mark a material in the left column. The properties of the material are displayed in the bottom field.

4. Mark a material in the right-hand column. The properties of the material are displayed in the bottom field.

5. Compare the properties. 6. If both entries refer to the same material, mark the material to
