Create a new catalog - Intergraph Smart 3D - Administration & Configuration - Hexagon

The following procedure is applicable for both SQL and Oracle databases.

1. Open Project Management, and then click Database > New > Catalog to open the New Catalog Dialog.

2. Specify the Catalog information as needed for the new catalog database. The software specifies Schema information based on what you enter for Catalog information.

3. To create a new empty catalog, select Create an empty catalog, and navigate to the Apprepos.dat file. An empty catalog is a a catalog databases that contains all of the necessary tables, stored procedures, views, and objects but does not contains any modeling data, such as part data or specifications.

   To create a catalog from a template, select Create a new catalog from a template and specify the Plant, Marine, or Material Handling template file to use in creating the catalog database and schema.

   

   • If you are running Oracle on Linux, then the database template must be on the Linux computer where the Oracle service is running.

   • Linux is a case-sensitive environment. The database template name and the folder path must be typed correctly when creating the database. The Browse feature is not available for navigating to Linux folder locations.

4. For SQL databases, browse to locate the Physical database and Log file. For Oracle databases, type the Data tablespace file name and the Index tablespace file name.

5. Click Browse to the right of the Symbol and custom program file folder box, and browse for and select the SharedContent folder on the Smart 3D server.

6. Click OK to create the new catalog.

   A progress bar displays while the software creates the catalog and catalog schema databases. After the software creates the new catalog, the software adds the new catalog under the Reference Data root in the Project Management tree. The software also creates a default permission group folder and a default permission group for the new catalog.

   

7. Click Database > New > Model to associate the new catalog with a model.
