Replication overview

SolidWorks® Enterprise PDM uses a database server and an archive server for hosting central data about

files and activities in an Enterprise PDM file vault.

When a client connects to a Enterprise PDM file vault through the file vault view and browses for files,

views file data cards, searches for files, etc., the information is sent between the client and the database

server. When a client retrieves physical files stored in a file vault (for example, drawings, documents,

etc.) from the archive to the local file vault view (cache) by using functions such as Get or Check out, the

files are retrieved from the archive server and sent to the client. The time it takes to transfer these files

depends on the size and speed of the network.

In a LAN environment, the files are normally transferred quickly since the archive server resides locally to

the clients. If the Enterprise PDM file vault is shared between multiple offices over a WAN connection, the

performance will decrease and relies heavily on the speed of the connection. Both the information from

the database server (which is speedy since only small text data is sent) and the physical files (which can

take anywhere from seconds to hours depending on file size) are transferred over the WAN.

The following image depicts a typical Enterprise PDM WAN environment where all three offices

communicate with the central Enterprise PDM database server and archive server.
