The installation of the Job Server is based on the Stand-Alone installation (see Stand-Alone installation).
Installation of the Job Server can be carried out in two variants.
- Variant 1 installs a Job Server with a Worker that can be executed immediately.
- Variant 2 installs a Job Server without Worker and has to be adapted to your own requirements by means of preferences and entries in the initialization file. Each Worker has to be installed separately.
Installation of Variant 1:
The installation of the plug-in is not part of the Stand-Alone installation and must be installed manually.
Here are the steps to install the plug-in:
- Open Windows Explorer.
- Navigate to the folder <EEC installation folder>\install\jobserver.
- Open the file jobserver_2_5_<Build id>.zip with a suitable file archiver, for example, 7-Zip.
- Unpack the complete content into the <EEC installation folder>\dropins directory.
- Navigate to the folder <EEC installation folder>\install\jobserver.worker.
- Open the file jobserver.worker_2_5_<Build id>.zip with a suitable file archiver, for example, 7-Zip.
- Unpack the complete content into the <EEC installation folder>\dropins directory.
- Create a repository folder and enable it.
- Open Windows Explorer.
- Navigate to the folder <EEC installation folder>\install\Tutorial\setup.
- Select Open command prompt here from the popup menu while keeping the [Shift] key press.
- Enter the following prompt:
create \\<Pfad zum Repository-Ordner>
The Job Server is started and the plug-ins are registered automatically.
Installation of Variant 2:
The installation of the plug-in is not part of the Stand-Alone installation and must be installed manually.
Here are the steps to install the plug-in:
- Open Windows Explorer.
- Navigate to the folder <EEC installation folder>\install\jobserver.
- Open the file jobserver_2_5_<Build id>.zip with a suitable file archiver, for example, 7-Zip.
- Unpack the complete content into the <EEC installation folder>\dropins directory.
After the start of the application, the plug-in is registered automatically.
To enable the Job Server to receive queries from Workers, the initialization file (e.g., ec.ini) should contain an argument with the Port number, where the Job Server listens, for example 8686 (see de.eplan.eec.jobserver.port):
-Dde.eplan.eec.jobserver.port=8686
In order to make the Job Server accessible for Workers, the initialization file (e.g., ec.ini) can contain the private.aliasUrl argument, for example http://jobserverstation:8686 (see de.eplan.eec.jobserver.private.aliasurl). Workers that also have this address entered in the initialization file (for example ec.ini) can register themselves automatically during the start:
-Dde.eplan.eec.jobserver.private.aliasurl=http://jobserverstation:8686
In order to make the Job Server accessible for clients (for example browsers), the initialization file (for example ec.ini) can contain the aliasUrl argument, for example http://jobserverstation:8686 (see de.eplan.eec.jobserver.aliasurl). Workers that also have this address entered in the initialization file (for example ec.ini) can register themselves automatically during the start if the private.aliasurl is not specified:
-Dde.eplan.eec.jobserver.aliasurl=http://jobserverstation:8686
You can also specify in the initialization file the language in which the user interface of the Job Server is to be started, for example German (see -osgi.nl):
-Dosgi.nl=de_DE
The Job Server preferences should contain a repository file folder.
Note:
The Job Server can be set up as a Windows server and can be run without a user interface.
Note:
Up to four Workers together with a Job Server can be run on a workstation or server to generate schematics and 3D graphics with EPLAN Electric P8 and EPLAN Pro Panel. To do this at least four different ports have to be specified for P8 (see Open ports for EPLAN P8 connection).
