Need help on installation?

 
  • [QUOTE=codooaustin;30095]I believe someone has already posted something on this.

    If I remember correctly, that project is an 11.2 project.  You can't upgrade directly to 11.6, you have to first upgrade it to 11.3, then 11.4 then you can open it up in 11.6.  Also make sure that username and password is a Free user, not a General user.

    I think the only upgrade needed is from 11.2 -> 11.3 then from 11.3 through 11.6 no upgrade is needed, ie pdms 11.6 can open versions 11.3 and upwards.  Search for Aveva product bulletin on how to upgrade.

    Actually, you could upgrade directly from 11.2 to 11.6.
    Look at PDMS Installation Guide Version 11.6.SP1, Chapter 9.

    Yeah you're right, I must have been thinking a later version.
  • Hi
    When you installed pdms the manuals accompanying the software also got installed, not sure which directory they go to? (search windows for 'pdms manuals').
    If you are new to this you will have to read the basic sections of the manuals. They describe how pdms is set up for instance:-
    data bases
    teams
    enviroment bat file
    and so on.
    Basically, to enter the info you are asking for you first have to set the parameters.
    Hope this helps and good luck.
  • HI everyone,
    I have a problem when running PDMS. I'm newbe to this, but I have to learn it now to support my job. It's urgent
    I've installed it successful (PDMS ver 11.5). The first time I run it, everything worked well. A window appeared and asked me to type UseName, Passwork, Project, MDB .... Because this is the first time I work with this soft and I don't know how to fill in exactly, so I try many time. And after that, a message box appear says that something wrong (I don't remember exaclty what it said). But after that I couldn't open PDMS again when I click "Run PDMS".
    I did Remove and Reinstall PDMS, but nothing new. I'm really confused.

    Does anyone this problem? Please help me. Thanks inadvance for all help.
  • Have you checked if the program points to the license file?

    regards
  • If you've installed PDMS using simple next>>next>> finish philosophy then:
    1. The shortcut should point to pdms.bat file.
    2. The manuals that 'ianmp' has referred above will be in C:\AVEVA\Pdms11.5\manuals folder.
    3. There's a list of common passwords that have been set already. Generally, following should work fine User: SYSTEM, Password: XXXXXX and MDB: SAMPLE

    Hope this puts you in good stead.
  • Dear PDMSGURU,
    I recently bought my new laptop from US & it has came up with Windows Home Premium 64 bit. Now I am trying to install our most favourite programme PDMS 11.5 in my new laptop & facing lot of troubles & not able to do anything with it.

    PDMS is exited is the last message.

    What is wrong? Does any version of PDMS works in Windows 7 ??

    Pls let me know GURU..!

    even I am trying to downgrade my WINDOWS 7 system to WINDOWS XP for the same reason but that is also a problematic thing because I am not able to get drivers for HPdv6-1355dx model of my laptop.

    I am really getting frustrated because it is one month & I am not able to do anything regarding PDMS in my laptop.

    Ohh GOD pls help me.
    Thnx
