We also wanted to run PDMS 11.6.SP2 from the network. However, there are glitches within the code that will not allow this to happen. We contacted Aveva with the problem. They suggested that we install the software locally. I was leary of installing this all of this software locally because of the large number of machines that would get installed. Then our IT department helped with an installation program that a new user can run.
The other concern was how do we send out updates or enhancements. Thank the Lord for software like Beyond Compare! It has scripting capabilities that allow a local folder to be compared to, and updated with, a network folder. So we make changes to the network folder. We have a script in place that will update PDMS at login time. So, the next time that a user logs into their machine, their PDMS is updated to the latest network version.
By the way, the latest versions of Review Reality (6.2+) do not run off the network either. So we will have to do the same things for Review as we are doing for PDMS.
