Details

I want to install Solid Edge Standard Parts on a server, so that several users can place Standard Parts from the network database.  I need an overview what needs to be done.

Solution

This is an overview of what you need to do for a Standard Parts installation on a server.

On the server:

1.  Have a folder to be used for Standard Parts and share the folder.  Give everyone full access to that folder.
2. Install Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Express for SE from …\Standard Parts Administrator\ISSetupPrerequisites.
If at any time you see an error message during the installation, reboot and start the same installation again.
3.  Install Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Express LocalDB for SE from …\Standard Parts Administrator\ISSetupPrerequisites.
4.  Install SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) from Microsoft.
5.  Follow chapter 5 of the Standard Parts Installation Guide to configure SQL.

On a system to be used as the Standard Parts Administrator:

6.  Install Solid Edge 2021.
7.  Install Standard Parts Administrator (Important: not Master Parts!).
This also installs MS SQL Server 2017 Express for SE and MS SQL Server 2017 Express LocalDB for SE.
If at any time you see an error message during the installation, reboot and start the same installation again.
8.  Install the latest MP.
9.  Restart the system.
10.  Start Standard Parts Configuration Wizard.  Browse to the shared folder on the server.  Create an external network database - this creates the database and the SAC file.
11.  Start Standard Parts Administrator and load parts into the database.

On all systems that are using Standard Parts:

12.  Install Solid Edge 2021.
13.  Install the latest MP.
14.  In Solid Edge options on the file location tab point to the SAC file on the server.

The above is a rough plan.  If you have further questions, please refer to the Standard Parts Installation Guide, search for information in Support Center or open a support case.
