Installing Windchill RV&S Client
You can install the Windchill RV&S client in the following ways:
from the DVD
from the network (if the installation program has been made accessible from a shared network location)
as a silent install
The procedures in this section describe the steps required to perform a new installation of the Windchill RV&S client on Windows and Linux platforms.
Improving Windchill RV&S Client Performance Over Network
If you are working over a network with less than 10 Mbit of available bandwidth, you can adjust compression for the Windchill RV&S client under:
installdir/IntegrityClientSite.rc#Compression properties
where installdir is the path to the directory where you installed the Windchill RV&S client.
You can turn compression on for all Windchill RV&S client connections by using this property:
IntegrityClient.default.compressionEnabled
You can turn compression on for Windchill RV&S client connections to a particular Windchill RV&S server or proxy using this property:
IntegrityClient.<hostname>.<port>.compressionEnabled
The properties should only be set to true if compression is required because your network is dealing with the transfer of numerous large files. Adjusting the compression properties is not helpful on a fast LAN because, typically, the time to compress the file is greater than the time required to make the transfer.
