Step Description Comments/ Problems / Workarounds Additional Resources TR / CR Setup Notes
Load Operating System on PDS Servers
PDS requires a variety of server functions, as detailed in the procedures below. An individual computer can perform one or all of these functions, or a combination of several functions. Intergraph recommends using separate computers for each function.
Install Windows 2003 Server SP2 on the PDS Server You can download the service pack from the Microsoft web site.
Configure PDS Servers
For 32bit computers, add to the registry a new string value named HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intergraph\Common, with a value of c:\win32app\ingr\share
For 64bit computers, add to the registry a new string value named
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Intergraph\Common, with a value of c:\win32app\ingr\share
This registry entry is required for proper operation of the RIS Client.
Add to the registry a new DWORD value named
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor\DisableUNCCheck, with a value of 1
This registry entry is required in order to avoid problems when more than 10 users attempt to access a shared folder. This key is case sensitive.
Modify the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\WI NREG registry entry
This modification is required in order for PDS to be able to resolve node names and paths into UNC paths for non-administrator users. For more information, please refer to the PDS Project Setup Technical Reference. There are three recommended methods for modifying this key. You can add the shares on the server to the allowed paths in the WINREG key, grant access permissions to certain users or user groups from within the Registry Editor, or delete the WINREG key. Intergraph recommends the first method, adding allowed paths to the WINREG key. To add all allowed paths, add System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Shares as the value for the AllowedPaths key in the WINREG entry.
Make sure that the Temp and Tmp environment variables for users and system point to c:\temp
To modify environment variables, open System in the Windows Control Panel, select the Advanced tab, and then click Environment Variables. It is also necessary to complete this step on each user's workstation before using PDS.
Create the c:\temp folder, share the folder as temp, and change permissions on the folder to allow everyone full control
Install SmartPlant License Manager 2010 on the site license machine
The license machine controls licensing for PDS. It can be located on any machine in your network. The SmartPlant License Manager license machine software could be installed on a stable, single node, hardware configuration (such as a simple PC) with a static IP address.
See the SmartPlant License Manager Installation and Configuration Checklist. (SPLMInstall_Checklist.xls)
Set Up the PDS Print/Plotting Server When installing software for PDS servers, make sure there are no spaces in the
path names.

Install Prerequisite Software on the PDS Workstation You must install the prerequisite software in the order in which it is listed.
Install MicroStation J 07.01.05.03 This product is available from Bentley Systems and delivered separately from PDS. PDS does not
support the Minimum Setup Type for MicroStation. Use the Complete Setup Type instead. Install the Ris Client compatible with your Database from the product CD. (see
Database tabs)
Note: If you are recording an .iss file for silent installation, use this path to the setup.exe file: <setup
source folder path>\PDS\RISServer\RISShare\setup.exe.
Install Adobe Reader 8.0 This software is required to view the Software License Agreement.
Install Batch Services 06.01.00.## from the product CD
Install InterPlot Client 10.02.00.08 This product is available from Bentley Systems and delivered separately from PDS. This step is only
necessary if print/plotting jobs will be sent from this workstation.
Prepare the PDS Workstation These steps are required for all PDS workstations.
For 32bit computers, add to the registry a new string value named HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intergraph\Common, with a value of c:\win32app\ingr\share.
For 64bit computers, add to the registry a new string value named
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Intergraph\Common, with a value of c:\win32app\ingr\share.
This registry entry is required for proper operation of the RIS Client.
Add to the registry a new DWORD value named
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor\DisableUNCCheck, with a value of 1
This registry entry is required in order to avoid problems when more than 10 users attempt to access a shared folder. This key is case sensitive.
Modify the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\WI NREG registry entry
This modification is required in order for PDS to be able to resolve node names and paths into UNC paths for non-administrator users. For more information, please refer to the PDS Project Setup Technical Reference.
There are three recommended methods for modifying this key. You can add the shares on the server to the allowed paths in the WINREG key, grant access permissions to certain users or user groups from within the Registry Editor, or delete the WINREG key. Intergraph recommends the first method, adding allowed paths to the WINREG key.
To add all allowed paths, add System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Shares as the value for the AllowedPaths key in the WINREG entry.
Make sure that the Temp and Tmp environment variables for users and system point to c:\temp
To modify environment variables, open System in the Windows Control Panel, select the Advanced tab, and then click Environment Variables.
Create the c:\temp folder, share the folder as temp, and change permissions on the folder to allow everyone full control
Install and Configure SmartPlant License Manager on the PDS Workstation
Install SmartPlant License Manager Client 2010 from the SmartPlant License Manager CD
Refer to the SmartPlant License Manager Installation Checklist and the SmartPlant License Manager User's Guide.
Synchronize the workstation system clock with the server system clock Run the following statement from the command line to synchronize the workstation clock: net time /set \\server_name
Specify a SmartPlant License Manager server
To specify a license server, open SmartPlant License Manager, double-click Configure and Test >
Select License Server for Client, and then either type the license server name or browse to a license
server.
Install and Configure PDS 2011 Software on the PDS Workstation Note: If you are recording an .iss file for silent installation, use this path to the setup.exe file: <setup
source folder path>\PDS\PDS\setup.exe.
For each PDS module, specify the installation type and installation location
In most cases, you should select Local mode for all PDS modules. Refer to the Project Setup Technical Reference for details on installing software in Client or Server mode.
Any system from which projects will be created must have all required products installed locally on the same drive as the project file.
Make sure that the installation path does not contain any spaces. Intergraph recommends that you install PDS in c:\win32app\ingr.
PD_Shell is required on all PDS workstations. Other PDS modules may be installed based on the function of the workstation. For example, if a workstation is to be used for 3D piping, installing the Drawing Manager software may not be necessary.
Specify the PDS 3D Control File
To specify a control file, click Start > All Programs > PD_Shell > PDS Configure. You can also create a pds.cmd file in a central location, and then point each workstation to that file using the PDS
3D Control File dialog box.
Specify the location of the schema file
To specify a schema file, click Start > All Programs > RIS version number > RIS Schema
Manager. You can also create a parms file in a central location, and then copy the file to each
workstation. In this case, you should create a RIS_Parameters path in temporary folder. Create PDS batch queues
Click Start > Programs > PD_Shell > PDS Queue to create batch queues. Select Enable all for
configuration and select the queues you want to create. If you have not done so, the system will
