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 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 Client installation.
