This section describes how to set up managed export loopback on a computer running Smart 3D (the listener as a Windows service), and then configure communication between the listener and the nesting application server (the client).

The illustration below shows the relationship between the listener Windows service and client systems, and the Smart 3D database, SharedContent, and Name Generator servers. The loopback between Smart 3D and the nesting system is also displayed. The nesting system triggers communication to Smart 3D.

If the nesting system triggers S3DProductionClient.exe, you need to change the nesting system configuration to trigger S3DLoopBackClient.exe.

Nesting Application Server

8

NestingReport.exe - Receives the nesting information from the nesting server (2). This standalone application command interacts with the NestingService.exe command. The loopback process does not start this command.

3

S3DLoopbackClient.exe - Sends loopback XML to the listener machine (10) running the S3DLoopbackListener.exe command (9). The nesting application triggers the executable.

9

S3DLoopbackListener.exe - Runs as a Windows service. Receives loopback XML from the client (4). Starts the MfgNestingService.exe command (7) by sending it with the loopback XML. The S3DLoopbackListener.exe command (9) communicates with the S3DLoopbackClient.exe command (3).
