If you use a license server, see the Certified Third-Party Software table to verify that you have the correct version of FLEXlm software. A more detailed description of how to obtain a FLEX license can be found on the DELMIA Process Engineer CD in the folder \Support\FLEXlm.
To get a license, please provide the licensing department at DELMIA (either licensing_germany@delmia.de, or licensing@delmia.com) with the following licensing information:
Company: Location: Contact: Phone/Fax: Email: Computer name: 1 MAC – Address: 2 DPE Version: Previous license: 3
Notes: | For an ORACLE based installation, you need an ORACLE license. This can be purchased either from DELMIA or directly from ORACLE. |
If you are unsure how to create new users in an ORACLE database, please see Importing Data into the Database in the ORACLE Installation manual (on the ORACLE disk), where this procedure is described in detail. | |
Use administrator permissions to install Process Engineer. | |
The option Poet database for the database type is no longer available. | |
Please follow the instructions below in the order presented. |
From the Oracle-Dumps folder on this CD, import the .dmp files to the database users you created as an ORACLE prerequisite for Process Engineer installation.
Determine the type of database you want to install:
If you want to install a database containing the newest configuration and scripts use the dmp-files in the subfolder:
For general availability releases:..\ Oracle-Dumps\pe5RN_std (where RN=the release number) For service packs:..\Oracle-Dumps\pe5RN_n (where n=the current service pack) |
If you want to install an empty database, use the .dmp files in the subfolder:
For general availability releases:..\ Oracle-Dumps\pe5RN_std_e (where RN = the release number) For service packs:..\Oracle-Dumps\pe5RN_n_e (where n = the current service pack) |
Import e5_database.dmp to user e5_database.
Run the script compile_procedure.sql, which is provided in the folder:.DBAssistantTools\Rxx\db_scripts\sql, where Rxx = the current release (i.e., R19).
Start setup.exe in the folder PPRServer.
Reboot the system, if asked to do so. After rebooting, setup.exe restarts automatically.
Choose a path for the installation. (Note: DELMIA recommends D:\DELMIA\PPRServer and accepting the other default values.)
Enter the correct database connect string.
Two dialog
boxes appear requesting ORACLE usernames and passwords.
Accept the default values for the usernames and
passwords.
The next window gives a summary of the settings and options with which
PPRServer will be installed.
Please review carefully, and then click the Next button to start the installation.
Start setup.exe in the folder PPRClient.
Reboot the system, if asked to do so. After rebooting,
setup.exe restarts automatically.
When you have to enter the name of the PPRServer, the local computer
name is displayed.
Accept the default setting.
Enter the installation path. (Note: DELMIA recommends D:\DELMIA\PPRClient and accepting the other default values.)
Accept the default settings for datasource name,
database user name, and password, as suggested by
the setup program.
The setup program displays the choice license file or
license server, according to the present PPRServer installation.
Accept the setting to use this license.
Select the option Install VBA Integration.
Regarding silent installations:
Note that selecting this option temporarily suspends the Process
Engineer Client installation and initiates an independent VBA
installation process. Because of this, it is not possible to execute an
embedded installation in silent mode.
If you are creating a recording for silent installations, do not select
this option. In this scenario, VBA Integration must be installed manually by running \AdditionalTools\VBA\vba_mergemodule.exe
(located on the Process Engineer installation media) after the Process
Engineer Client has been installed.
Select Install administration tools.
The next window gives a summary of the settings and options with which
PPRClient will be installed.
Please review carefully, and then click the Next
button to start the installation.
A window showing several path directories is displayed.
Either change the paths or confirm that the paths are correct.
To start Process Engineer, please use the shortcut provided in the Start menu. It appears under All Programs > Delmia > Process Engineer. When the login window appears, you can log in as user admin with the password admin. This default password can be changed afterwards.
Note: | In rare cases, Process Engineer fails to start or starts with an error message. If this occurs, reregister the client and server DLLs. Batch files that allow you to reregister the COM DLLs delivered with Process Engineer Server and Client are located in the folders with the runtime binaries (...program\bin... or program\bin64\...) and named RegServerDlls.bat, RegClientDlls.bat, RegServer64Dlls.bat or RegClientDlls64.bat |
DELMIA Password encryption is based on Microsoft CryptoAPI using the machine key set. Access rights on this key set depends on the file access rights to the key container file. The key container itself is stored in the directory:
C: \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys (English version of the OS)
OR
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Anwendungsdaten\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys (German version of the OS).
If an application uses the machine key set to hash, encrypt or decrypt data, the appropriate user account must have read and write access on the key container directory and its files. Therefore, the administrator has to grant access rights to all accounts using the encryption, decryption, and hash capability. The accounts with these permissions should include at least the DCOM user account on server machines, and also the account that is used to setup the PLM application.
All accounts used to start DELMIA Process Engineer on client machines should have the appropriate access rights.
Please read MigrationDocumentationAndChecklist.pdf, which is located in the readme directory of this CD. Pay careful attention to the installation order; you must install PPRClient 5.19 first.
Updates can be performed for the following versions:
Note: If you are using a release of Process Engineer older than Release 15, please update to Release 15 first.
You can only update Process Engineer only if the existing installation is based on an ORACLE 10g database. Please refer to the ORACLE Installation documentation for further details. Please migrate contents of an earlier database version to 10g first.
Starting with Version 5, Release 12, SP5, if you work with a license server, you need a new FLEXlm Version. For details on obtaining the new FLEXlm software, please see Licensing.
If you are updating Process Engineer from a version older than Release 19, you need a new license file. Contact your local support office for a new license file. Without the new license, the update process will not be executed correctly.
Note: Once you obtain the new license, place it into the folder where the original license was located, before starting the update.
A Poet database cannot be updated to R19. If you have a Poet database, migrate to ORACLE before updating Process Engineer. For the appropriate version, please see the Certified Third-Party Software section.
If necessary, please migrate to the appropriate version of ORACLE before updating Process Engineer. For the appropriate version, please see the Certified Third-Party Software section.
Once you have migrated the database, the name of the instance changes from MACHINENNAME_O9ie to MACHINENAME_O10g. As a result, you must modify some entries in the registry and a control file to run Process Engineer again.
This adaptation can be done with the database assistant tool. To start the tool, select the entry Database assistant in the setup menu and click the Switch button. A dialog box appears showing you the last instance chosen for Process Engineer. Click the New button, and you can create an entry for a new instance.
Enter the name of the new instance (e.g. MACHINENAME_O10g) as well as the names of the database users ( see picture above for default values ). Once you click OK, you see a new dialog box, which shows the newly created instance as an option. Choose the newly created entry and then click OK.
If you have upgraded Process Engineer from a release older than Release12 to this release, you can, after a successful upgrade, delete the database user containing the rights and configuration information. (Default name: e5_rightsdata, e5_base.)
Before you start: The setup process imports an ergoplan.ini configuration file. For this, a Process Engineer Client is started, with login admin and password admin. If there is no user admin on your system or the password is other than admin, the setup displays a Process Engineer login window, awaiting the input of the correct login/password for a user with admin privileges.
Depending on the size of the database, the setup process can take several hours.
Start setup.exe in the folder PPRClient on the installation
CD.
After selecting the language, the name of the PPRServer and the
installation path of the existing installation are displayed.
Accept these settings.
Depending on the current installation, either license file or license server is
displayed.
Accept the setting to continue using the current licenses, or enter the path to another license file or the path of a license server.
Select the option Install VBA Integration.
The next window gives a summary of the settings and options with which PPRClient
will be installed.
Review the settings and options carefully; if you agree to the settings, click Next to start the installation.

To update the Industrial Engineer database, click Yes.
A database export and update procedure follows. Then, depending on the current
installation, either license file or license server is displayed.
Accept the setting to continue using the current licenses, or enter the path
to another license file or the path of a license server.
The next window gives a summary of the settings and options with which PPRServer
will be installed.
Review the settings and options carefully; if you agree to the settings,
click Next to start the installation.
Several windows with information about the progress of the database update will
appear until the installation is complete.
Note: After the update is successfully completed, shut down the DPE processes using ShutdownPPRServer or the server tools before starting Process Engineer.
Please see the ServerTools documentation in the Process Engineer help files.
This program directory constitutes the release notes for Process Engineer.
The following section includes detailed instructions on how to remove a Process Engineer installation from your computer.
To unblock the DLLs used by Process Engineer, shut down all server processes.
Because Process Engineer is installed with Installshield, you can use your operating system’s automatic uninstall mechanisms. You can access these mechanisms by selecting:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
To remove a program, you have to select its name in the list and then choose Remove. The recommended order is to remove the client first, then the server.
If the automatic uninstall mechanism fails, you can remove Process Engineer manually. To clean your system, you have first to remove the program files which were copied during the installation. You can do so by deleting the subdirectories containing the Process Engineer data which can be identified by checking the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DELMIA\ERGOPlan\PPRClient_Home
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DELMIA\PPRSERVER\PPRServer_Home
After deleting the program files, then delete the registry key that were created during the installation. Delete the keys and subkeys found in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DELMIA
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DELMIA
Datasources that were created during the installation of Process Engineer can be removed by selecting:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Datasources (ODBC)
Then select the datasource named ergotime on the system DSN page, and delete it.
You can delete the databases used for Process Engineer if you have a database administrator account for your database. If you are using an ORACLE installation provided by DELMIA, you can enter the database by typing the following command in a DOS command shell:
SQLPLUS “SYS/SYSELCARO AS SYSDBA
Once you get a SQL prompt, you can delete the users stored in your database by typing following commands:
Drop user e5_database cascade
Drop user e5_ergotime cascade
If you want to erase an ORACLE installation completely, consult the documentation Oracle provides.
