Solid Edge Embedded Client implements Teamcenter's Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and File Management System (FMS). This implementation can be used with Teamcenter's four–tier deployment, where SOA is a component of this solution, or it can be configured to be used with a Teamcenter two–tier deployment.
In a four–tier deployment, only the client application executes on the user's workstation; the Enterprise tier, database, volume, and other resource tier components are executed on the server providing improved performance for customers working in a high-latency WAN environment. By default, Solid Edge Embedded Client is a four–tier configuration.
Note:
The cache is on the selected Teamcenter Database URL. Therefore, a four–tier connection does not use the same physical cache as a two–tier connection for the same Teamcenter database and user ID.
If a Solid Edge Embedded Client two–tier deployment is required, Solid Edge Embedded Client should be configured after setup is complete. Use the Define Database Definition application to create a two–tier database definition.
In preparation for configuring a two–tier environment:
Install a Teamcenter two–tier rich application client. The installation delivers the required Teamcenter application support for an SEEC two–tier deployment.
Apply all the Teamcenter patches to meet the minimum Teamcenter application requirements.
Verify your Rich Application Client installation.
