Configure BIMcloud Server

Set the basic configuration of the installed BIMcloud Server

1. Define basic Server settings on the first page of the Configurator:

   
   
   
   • Port: Select a free port or use the “Find an available port” command to automatically find one.
   • Data Folders: Enter or Browse the location of the default Data Folders for Projects, Libraries and Cache.
     • Teamwork Projects and libraries on this BIMcloud Server will be stored in these folders
     • The default Cache folder stores temporary Teamwork data, which is used to speed up Teamwork processes.
     • For Windows users:The Cache folder you choose must be in a drive for which 8.3 naming is enabled. If this is not the case, you will get a warning. Please select a different drive, where 8.3 file naming is enabled, and then you can proceed. Alternatively, you can enable 8.3 name generation for the current drive, then create a totally new folder, and select it as the new Cache location. The new folder’s parent folders (if any) must also be created after you enable 8.3 name generation.
   • Click Next to open BIMcloud Only Settings - BIMcloud Server.
2. On the second page, define additional Server settings.These settings require a BIMcloud User License. If you plan to use BIMcloud Basic, don’t set these options. They will have no effect, and may cause anomalies.
   
   
   
   • File Storage: Files uploaded to BIMcloud Manager will be stored at this location.
   • Enable BIMcloud Server Backup:Check this if you plan to create backups of BIMcloud Server data. After checking the box, you must enter (or browse for) the path of the backup folder location.
   • Save Snapshots to External Folder: Optionally, redefine folder to which Project and Library snapshots are saved. (By default, snapshots - with extension .archive - are saved to the folder where you installed the BIMcloud Server.) (If needed, you can later redefine this snapshot folder path.
3. Click Start, to launch the newly configured BIMcloud Server.
