The table ArchiveServerStored contains a column called ArchiveType. Does anyone know, what the types are? I think, type 1 are normal files and type 4 is the users.dat in the vault's root folder. But what are 2 and 3?

Currently using PDM Pro 2017. Can't get pictures to open in Photos to allow easier scrolling/ viewing they want to open in Paint. Checked all my Windows settings they are defaulted to Photos. From my understanding this is a known issue.

I am needing to find all drawings that contain a NULL value for the property Part Number. This does not seem to work: And It seems to ignore the variable criteria. BTW, Part Number is a text field. I could also use the Revision property, which is an integer, but there is still not a way to find just the BLANK values.

The vault is tagging my work with another past user's name and bumping up revs when I open a drawing, without initiating an ECN. This is still using SolidWorks 2015 with EPDM 2015. All SP4. SolidworksSolidworks Pdm/enterprise Pdm

I'm currently struggling with a PDM Pro and SQL Express 2017 installation. I want to try out the PDM Pro Product but will not allow me to connect to SQL 2017 Express. The account is configured and available. When connecting with a general ODBC windows client it recognizes the server and no issues.

With PDM standard, is it possible to retrieve the metadata from the DB regularly? In addition, is it possible to use an existing SQL server instead of sql express? SolidworksSolidworks Pdm/enterprise Pdm

I am currently running just one SW professional with pdm STANDARD. ON one PC. We are getting another user and pro license, probably more down the road. Probably 5-6 at most (in the distant future) We dont have a server(no need for it), is it possible to setup Vault on NAS or similar?

Does anyone have a CRP for finding files created by a certain user? I am also looking for a CRP that finds all the files that were last checked-in by a certain user. I am not an SQL guy and do not have direct access to the database. SolidworksSolidworks Pdm/enterprise Pdm

I have placed an ER request to have the ability to expand the menu to see all the columns and to give us the ability to add columns such as "description" to the destroy menu. If you agree, turn on in as well. ER# 1-19027176185 regards, Scott SolidworksSolidworks Pdm/enterprise Pdm

I.'m looking at the requirements for Enterprise PDM and SW seems to recommend 3 separate machines: archvie server, database server, and web server. For those of you with EPDM already implemented, is this the route you chose? If not, how (if at all) did you divide up the servers? For comparison, we'll have 25 SW users and about an equal number of non-SW 'contributors'.

We have our vault set up with about a dozen directories forvarious types of parts or assemblies. I tried to drag & drop anassembly file from one directory to another. It seemed to work, andit maintained the file relationships, but when I click on the datacard tab there's no card. If I move the file back to it's olddirectory the card pops right up.

Can I use the EPDM search function to locate content within adrawing? For example a specific word in a note. I can search office documents and I have a I-Filter for PDF files.I assumed I could search text in a SolidWorks drawing. I checked my server, indexing seems to be working.
