SmartPlant Explorer Installation Guide 5

S E C T I O N 1

Supporting internationalization in a homogeneous environment is one of the enhancementsavailable in SmartPlant Enterprise. A homogeneous environment uses elements from only asingle locale. For example, a German customer running on a German operating system using onlyGerman characters and German cultural conventions is a fully supported homogeneousenvironment configuration.

Homogeneous Environments

When starting a new project, use extra care during installation and configuration to ensure theproper creation and maintenance of homogeneous environments:

  All the computers (servers and clients) within an integrated SmartPlant Enterpriseimplementation must have the same regional settings, and no one should change the regionalsettings after the project has started.

  Do not cross the decimal locale boundary. This is the most common cause of numeric datacorruption and calculation errors. Having users with different regional settings (like with aperiod versus a comma for the decimal point) causes the software to interpret valuesunpredictably. For example, a pipe run with a pressure of 35.3 psi can be read by the softwareas 353 psi to the user with different regional settings. A cable length defined as 39 ft 11,21inches has been interpreted as 121718910971323 meters when published to an XML file.These incorrect interpretations may be used in internal software calculations and can beimpossible to backtrack or correct. Do not change the decimal point character to try to solve anissue. Doing so will only corrupt values in the database or in text files.

  Do not cross the character-set locale boundary. For example, the character set boundarybetween Western (Latin-based) and Eastern Europe (Cyrillic-based), or between EasternEurope and Japan.

  Create Microsoft SQL Server databases with locale-specific collation settings and ensure thatall databases have the same setting.

Heterogeneous Environments

In contrast, a heterogeneous environment using elements from different, or even multiple locales,is not supported. Many customers are currently operating in unsupported heterogeneousenvironments and are often not aware of that fact. Examples of heterogeneous environments:

  Entering or viewing Japanese data on an US/English operating system

  Using German Regional Settings (where the decimal point is a comma) on a US/Englishoperating system

  Using databases with different character encodings such as CL8MSWIN1251 or JA16SJIS

  Using multiple languages in a project, especially when crossing language-group boundaries

  Using an English server with different local language clients

International / Bi-lingual Projects

International bi-lingual projects are possible; however, great care must be used when configuringthese environments. Limitations exist and must be properly understood:

Internationalization

Page 6: Spe Install Guide

7/25/2019 Spe Install Guide

Internationalization

6 SmartPlant Explorer Installation Guide

  Oracle and MS SQL Server databases can reside on any language operating system, as longas the databases have been created and configured with proper Unicode and collationsettings.

  All Microsoft operating systems (Japanese, Russian, German, and so forth) can enter Englishcharacters. The reverse, however, is not true in most cases.

  Keyboard-locale can be changed as long as a character-set and code- page boundary is not

crossed. For example, English, German, French, and Spanish characters can all be used inthe same project because the same Windows code-page (1252) is used. However, Russiancharacters (code-page 1251) cannot be used in a US/English environment.

  You must decide which language operating system will be the master for bi-lingual projects.

The following is an example of a Russian-based project:

Companies in the United States and the United Kingdom are working a project with a Russiancompany and the deliverables (drawings, reports, and so forth) must ultimately be provided inRussian. The companies in the U.S. and the U.K. are working the project using the "master"Russian operating systems (possibly using virtual Russian operating systems running on VMwareWorkstation). The U.S. and U.K. companies can install and use English Microsoft Office productson the Russian operating system because Office products are globally enabled. If a Russianinterface exists for the SmartPlant Enterprise application, then Russian users can use the Russian

interface while the English-speaking users would continue to use the US/English interface.English-speaking engineers can enter English characters. Russian-speaking engineers can enterRussian characters.

However, because the Russian locale uses different decimal and character-set locales, everyone(English and Russian engineers) must use the Russian decimal symbol which is a comma. Forcustomization purposes, databases can be modified to accommodate new Russian-specificrequirements (fields, properties, and so forth.) Using filters, display sets, and other softwarefeatures, bi-lingual projects can be further customized. Graphic data, reports, and so forth can becreated in either or both languages.

Do not change regional settings to reflect a U.S. environment in order to resolveproblems in a non-US/English homogeneous configuration. Doing this creates a heterogeneousconfiguration that will cause other possibly hidden problems that cannot be corrected. Everyoneworking on a project must use the same regional settings and character set throughout the life of

the project.

SmartPlant Explorer Installation Guide 7

S E C T I O N 2

SmartPlant® Explorer is your data access solution for viewing, querying, and reporting on plant

data throughout the plant life cycle. SmartPlant Explorer’s quick point-and-click display,navigation, and reporting functions reduce the time spent searching for plant data to the click of abutton. With SmartPlant Explorer, you can find schematics, drawings, and engineering, vendor,and maintenance data for a particular pump, or locate all the valves of a certain type throughoutyour facility, without ever leaving your desk.

With a point-and-click interface, SmartPlant Explorer is as easy to use as any Web browser.SmartPlant Explorer uses the project database as its information source and also takesadvantage of the Microsoft Windows operating system technology and functionality, whichprovides ease of use, increased performance, and unsurpassed security.

SmartPlant Explorer provides a Web-enabled window into Plant Design System (PDS®),

SmartPlant P&ID, SmartPlant Instrumentation, and SmartPlant Electrical projects, as well as other

plant data. In short, SmartPlant Explorer creates a Web site where you can easily view andexplore your plant design data, including instrumentation, piping and instrumentation diagrams(P&IDs), 3D models, and associated engineering data. Most importantly, anyone in the enterprise,and even beyond, can easily locate information by using SmartPlant Explorer.

SmartPlant Explorer also helps lower project expenses by eliminating costly errors and reworkdue to erroneous or outdated information. Because SmartPlant Explorer accesses data directlyfrom the data source, it eliminates the need to maintain a duplicate set of data. This direct accessresults in increased accuracy, quick turnaround and delivery of revised data, improvedcommunications, and lowered project costs. Also, accessing data through the Web eliminates theneed for dated paper documents, which often must be requested from a document controlorganization or from engineering personnel.

New Features in SmartPlant ExplorerThe following new features have been added:

Version 2009  The SmartPlant Instrumentation module now displays Enhanced SmartLoop drawings as they

were generated by the software, using the specific preferences and settings from the domainthat the drawing was generated in, based on the user configuration in SmartPlant Explorer.

  You must have installed SmartPlant Instrumentation 2007 SP6 HF 13 or higher orSmartPlant Instrumentation 2009 SP1, for this feature to work.

  In the Settings.js file, change the var INtools_DomainSpecificEslPreferences =false; 

to true. This file can be found in the home folder where you installed SmartPlant Explorerin the Web Server folder.

  In the SmartPlant P&ID module when opening a report for one of the following categories;

  Equipment

  Mechanical

  Vessel

  Heat Transfer

Basic Installation and Configuration

SmartPlant Explorer has two main parts: the SmartPlant Explorer Web Server and one or moreSmartPlant Explorer application module servers (PDS 3D Module, SmartPlant InstrumentationModule, PDS PID Module, SmartPlant PID Module, and SmartPlant Electrical Module).

The SmartPlant Explorer Web Server provides the central services for the SmartPlant Explorerapplication modules. These services include the roles, components, and basic actions required tointeract with the individual SmartPlant Explorer application module servers.

Users connect to the SmartPlant Explorer Web Server with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer Webbrowser. The Web browser sends a http request to view application data to the SmartPlantExplorer Web Server. The SmartPlant Explorer Web Server then forwards this request to thecorresponding SmartPlant Explorer application module server. The SmartPlant Explorerapplication module server retrieves the requested information from the application-specificdatabase and passes that information back to the SmartPlant Explorer Web Server. TheSmartPlant Explorer Web Server then formats this information into an HTML page and displaysthis page to the user.

You must install the Web Server and the application module servers on the samecomputer.

  Welcome to SmartPlant Explorer  

SmartPlant Explorer Installation Guide 11

Impersonated UsersInstead of using each individual user's login to communicate with the SmartPlant Explorerapplication module servers, the SmartPlant Explorer Web Server impersonates a singlepredefined Windows user. You need to decide who this user is and create the user in Windows

before you install the SmartPlant Explorer Web Server.

The impersonated user must have access to any shares that SmartPlant Explorer might ever needto access. For example, if you have associated documents on a share, this user must have accessto that share.

We highly recommend that you think about what user you want to use and create any neededusers before you install the SmartPlant Explorer Web Server. This user needs to be a Windowsdomain user and an administrator on the computer on which you load the SmartPlant ExplorerWeb Server.

The SmartPlant Explorer application module servers (the servers that communicate with theapplication database) will need to know who this Windows user is. You will be prompted for thisuser during the installation of each application. In addition, the SmartPlant Explorer applicationmodule servers also need a second Windows user account that has administrator access to the

server on which they are installed. This second Windows user can be the same as the first user,but must have administrator access to the application module server. You can change either username or user password on the appropriate server after installation using Microsoft ComponentServices on Windows.

Upgrading from a Previous Version  You must remove any previous versions of SmartPlant Explorer including any installed

modules before installing Version 2009.

When removing a previous version, you are prompted whether or not you want tokeep your actions and custom reports for use in version 2009. This functionality does not work forthe SmartPlant Electrical module when upgrading from version 2007 SP6 You must, beforeupgrading, save the spespel.mdb file manually and then add it to the saved data folder afterupgrade.

  On upgrading to Version 2009, the software automatically updates ActiveX controls andremoves all previously-installed unused ActiveX controls.

On an Vista operating system the UAC functionality must be set to off to install the Active X controls. After the installation of the Active X controls you can restart the UAC.

  After upgrading to Version 2009, or after installing a service pack you must restart yourcomputer.

The PDS 3D Module provides fast and easy access to your PDS 3D models and plant designdata. It allows SmartPlant Explorer users to quickly locate, query, and display 3D models createdwith PDS. For example, you can query the PDS 3D model database for models that contain aspecific equipment tag number. SmartPlant Explorer then displays a tabular list of models thatmeet the search criteria. When you select a model to view, the model automatically launches anddisplays the highlighted item in the 3D model.

Configuring the PDS 3D ModuleThe required steps for configuring PDS 3D Module are:

  Creating the Data Source Name to connect to the database. For more information, see

Creating DSNs (on page 21).  Adding the PDS 3D Module to the SmartPlant Explorer Web Server. For more information,

see Add an Application (on page 19).

  Adding a project to the PDS 3D Module. For more information, see Adding a Project  (onpage 23).

Creating DSNsThe PDS 3D Module communicates with the application database using a Data Source Name(DSN). You must create the DSN before you can view data in SmartPlant Explorer. If you areusing a SQL Server database, see DSN Setup for SQL Server  (on page 21) for more information.If you are using an Oracle database, see DSN Setup for Oracle Networking Components (onpage 22) for more information.

DSN Setup for SQL Server

1. Open the Control Panel and activate Data Source (ODBC).

2. Select the System DSN tab.

3. Click Add to add your new System DSN.

4. Select SQL Server  from the list.

16. Click Test Data Source. If you have correctly defined your new DSN, a form appearsindicating that the Data Source test was successful. The new DSN is now ready to be used bythe PDS 3D Module.

DSN Setup for Oracle Network ing Components

You must load and configure Oracle SQL*Net (version 2.3.4 or higher) or Net Manager on thedatabase server and on the SmartPlant Explorer Web Server for SmartPlant Explorer to access aPDS project. If the database server and the SmartPlant Explorer Web Server are the samecomputer, you still must load and configure Oracle SQL*Net.

Oracle SQL*Net is comprised of a client, a listener, and a network adapter, each of which can beindividually selected from within the Oracle loader utility. The SQL*Net listener and the networkadapter, typically TCP/IP, must be loaded on the database server. The SQL*Net client and theTCP/IP adapter must be loaded on the SmartPlant Explorer Web Server. The version of SQL*Netclient and listener must be the same on both computers. When the database server and theSmartPlant Explorer Web Server are the same computer, SQL*Net client and listener must bothbe configured.

Refer to the Oracle documentation for more information on installing Oracle SQL*Net or Net

Manager.

 Any attempts to configure an Oracle ODBC data source rely on a functional SQL*Net orNet Manager connection.

When creating an ODBC data source you are asked for a connect string, and possibly databaseuser name and password. The connect string is the alias name. If your ODBC driver does notrequire a database user name to be specified as part of the data source definition, you areprompted for a database user name and password when the connection is made.

SmartPlant Explorer takes this into consideration and asks for the database user name andpassword when you are entering data in the Add Site and Add Project dialog boxes.

Configuring Microsoft ODBC for Oracle

1. Open the Administrative Tools and activate Data Source (ODBC).

2. Select the System DSN tab.

3. Click Add to create a new DSN.

4. Select Microsoft ODBC for Oracle on the Create New Data Source dialog box.

The SmartPlant Instrumentation Module allows you to view and analyze changes to theSmartPlant Instrumentation database. Web access eliminates physical and geographicalboundaries, and because the instrumentation data is viewed as a Web page, you can easilynavigate among data objects, such as plants, areas, loops, and tags. This ability facilitatestabular reports, such as instrumentation indexes or wiring lists, and graphical reports such asinstrument loops or point-to-point wiring diagrams. With a single mouse click, you can transferdata to Microsoft Excel using Microsoft Web Query technology, providing direct access to yourplant information using an Excel workbook.

Configuring the SmartPlant Instrumentation ModuleThe required steps to configure the SmartPlant Instrumentation Module are as follows:

  Setup for Oracle Networking Components. For more information, see Setup for OracleNetworking Components (on page 25).

Installing Oracle Networking ComponentsBecause the SmartPlant Electrical site you are going to explore uses an Oracle database, youmust load and configure Oracle Net Manager on the SmartPlant Electrical database server and onthe SmartPlant Electrical Module server for SmartPlant Explorer to access the SmartPlant

Electrical project. If the SmartPlant Electrical database server and the SmartPlant ElectricalModule server are the same computer, you still must load and configure Oracle Net Manager.

Oracle Net Manager is comprised of a client, a listener, and a network adapter, each of which canbe individually selected from within the Oracle loader utility. The listener and the network adapter(typically TCP/IP) must be loaded on the database server. The client and the TCP/IP adapter mustbe loaded on the SmartPlant Electrical Module server. The version of client and listener must bethe same on both computers.

You can configure the networking components with the Net Manager Assistant.

If you do not install Oracle Client on your SmartPlant Electrical Module server beforeinstalling the SmartPlant Electrical Module software, you will receive an error message during thesetup indicating that the igrORASPConnect412.dll  will not be registered. You will have tomanually register this dll using the registeroracle.bat file after you install Oracle Client.

Adding the SmartPlant Electrical Module to the WebServer

 After you have installed the SmartPlant Electrical Module and configured the Oracle connection,you need to add the module to the SmartPlant Explorer Web Server.

1. Start Microsoft Internet Explorer.

2. Type http://<myserver>/spex in the Address field where <myserver> is the name of theSmartPlant Explorer Web Server.

3. Right-click SmartPlant Web Server   .

4. Select Add Application from the menu.

5. Type the name of the SmartPlant Electrical Module server.

S E C T I O N 8

This section contains useful information if you are responsible for administrating a SmartPlantExplorer Web Server including user access control and system security.

Access Control After installing the SmartPlant Explorer Web Server, you need to define which roles and usershave access to SmartPlant Explorer. Roles are groups of users who have access to SmartPlantExplorer. You add users to roles using their standard logon details for the Windows domain. Userscan be individual Windows users or Windows user groups. Users login to the SmartPlant ExplorerWeb Server using their regular Windows user name and password. SmartPlant Explorer checksthe defined roles and users in the Component Services on Windows to verify that they have beengranted access. If they have access, SmartPlant Explorer starts.

 All users must have Windows logon privileges to the SmartPlant Explorer Server. Userswithout logon privileges cannot access SmartPlant Explorer even though they have been added toa SmartPlant Explorer Role.

By default, the software creates three roles, or groups, when you install SmartPlant Explorer: Administrator, User, and Viewer. You can add more roles, for example, Purchasing, by using theComponent Server Explorer.

Administrators  have full access to all SmartPlant Explorer features, including defining reports,editing reports, and controlling who can run which reports.

Users have less access than Administrators, but can still define and edit report definitions. Userscannot control who can run which reports.

Viewers can only run reports and view the results. They cannot create any new report definitions.

40 SmartPlant Explorer Installation Guide

Users who belong to more than one role are granted the access privileges of the higher role. Forexample, if John were in the User and Viewer roles, John would have User privileges. Users whobelong to more than one role are able to run all Actions available to all of the roles for which theyare members.

You can add your own roles using the Component Services Explorer. If you choose to create yourown roles, you need to add those roles to the component interface so SmartPlant Explorer knows

the needed access privileges. The four component interfaces in SmartPlant Explorer are:   _AllActions - Roles in this interface can modify every Action menu in the application

regardless of to whom and to what the Actions apply. By default, the Administrator rolebelongs to this interface.

   _Application - Roles in this interface can add and remove SmartPlant Explorer Modules. Bydefault, the Administrator role belongs to this interface.

   _SPApplication - Roles in this interface can access SmartPlant Explorer. By default, the Administrator, User, and Viewer roles belong to this interface.

   _UserSpecificActions - As a user in a Role in this interface, you can create, delete, andmodify your Actions. Other users do not see these Actions. The user also cannot modify

 Actions that other users own. By default, the Administrator and User roles belong to thisinterface.

In addition to the component interfaces, you must add your own roles to the ObjectControlinterface.

If you do not want to add your custom roles to the interfaces, you can still define access privilegesby adding the user to both your custom role (to control what Actions they see) and to one of thedelivered roles (to control access privileges). In some ways, this is a better alternative becauseyou can define a single Administrator for your custom role and set the remaining role members asUsers or Viewers.

Roles that are not in _UserSpecificActions or _AllActions cannot modify Actions.

Add a RoleUsers must belong to one of the three delivered roles; administrator, user, or viewer; in addition toany custom defined roles. You need to restart SmartPlant Explorer in Internet Explorer to see the

changes.

System SecurityEvery time a user attempts to access the SmartPlant Explorer Web Server, the Serverauthenticates, or confirms, the identity of the user to ensure that the user has a valid Windowsaccount. This method is indispensable for limiting access to your data. Different authenticationmethods are available from which you can choose:

  Basic Authentication - Prompts users to type user names and passwords.

  Integrated Windows Authentication - Cryptographically obtains user identification informationfrom the Web browser of the user.

  Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Client Certification Authentication - Authenticates users bychecking the contents of an encrypted digital identification that the Web browser submitsduring the logon process.

You selected either the Basic or the Integrated Windows Authentication method when you

installed the SmartPlant Explorer Web Server.

SmartPlant Explorer does not support Anonymous Authentication or Digest Authenticationfor Windows.

Basic AuthenticationThe Basic Authentication method is a widely used, industry- standard method for collecting username and password information. Basic Authentication proceeds as follows:

1. The user's Web browser displays a dialog box where users can enter their previouslyassigned Windows account user names and passwords.

2. The Web browser then attempts to establish a connection using this information. (Thepassword is Base64 encoded before being sent over the network).

3. If the server rejects the information, the Web browser repeatedly displays the dialog box untilthe user either enters a valid user name and password or closes the dialog box.

4. When your Web Server verifies that the user name and password correspond to a validWindows user account, a connection established.

For information about setting up Basic Authentication, see the IIS Documentation.

 Administrating SmartPlant Explorer

42 SmartPlant Explorer Installation Guide

The disadvantage in using Basic Authentication is that Web browsers using Basic Authenticationtransmit passwords in an unencrypted form. By monitoring communications on your network,someone could easily intercept and decipher these passwords by using publicly available tools.Therefore, Basic Authentication is not recommended unless you are confident that the connectionbetween the user and your Web Server is secure, such as a direct cable connection or a dedicatedline.

Integrated Windows Authentication takes precedence over Basic Authentication. Thebrowser will choose integrated Windows Authentication and will attempt to use the currentWindows logon information before prompting the user for a user name and password.

Integrated Windows AuthenticationIntegrated Windows Authentication is a secure form of authentication because the user name andpassword are not sent across the network. When you enable integrated Windows authentication,the user's browser proves its knowledge of the password through a cryptographic exchange withyour Web Server, involving hashing.

Integrated Windows Authentication can use both the Kerberos v5 authentication protocol and itsown challenge/response authentication protocol. If Directory Services is installed on the server,and the browser is compatible with the Kerberos v5 authentication protocol, both the Kerberos v5

protocol and the challenge/response protocol are used; otherwise only the challenge/responseprotocol is used.

The Kerberos v5 authentication protocol is a feature of the Windows Distributed Servicesarchitecture. In order for Kerberos v5 authentication to be successful, both the client and servermust have a trusted connection to a Key Distribution Center (KDC) and be Directory Servicescompatible. For more information about the protocol, see the Windows documentation.

Integrated Windows Authentication proceeds as follows:

Unlike Basic Authentication, it does not initially prompt users for a user name and password. Thecurrent Windows user information on the client computer is used for the integrated Windowsauthentication.

  However, if the authentication exchange initially fails to identify the user, the browser will

prompt the user for a Windows user account user name and password, which it will process byusing integrated Windows authentication.

  Internet Explorer will continue to prompt the user until the user enters a valid user name andpassword, or closes the prompt dialog box.

  Although integrated Windows authentication is secure, it does not work over HTTP Proxyconnections. Therefore, integrated Windows authentication is best suited for an intranetenvironment, where both user and Web Server computers are in the same domain.

Certificate AuthenticationYou can also use your Web Server's Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security features for two typesof authentication. You can use a server certificate to allow users to authenticate your Web sitebefore they transmit personal information, such as a credit card number. Also, you can use client

certificates to authenticate users requesting information on your Web site. SSL authenticates bychecking the contents of an encrypted digital identification submitted by the user's Web browserduring the logon process. (Users obtain client certificates from a mutually trusted third-partyorganization.) Server certificates usually contain information about your company and theorganization that issued the certificate. Client certificates usually contain identifying informationabout the user and the organization that issued the certificate.

Client Certificate Mapping

You can associate, or map, client certificates to Windows user accounts on your Web Server. After you create and enable a certificate map, each time a user logs on with a client certificate,your Web Server automatically associates that user to the appropriate Windows user account.This way, you can automatically authenticate users who log on with client certificates, withoutrequiring the use of either Basic or integrated Windows authentication. You can either map one-

client certificate to one Windows user account or many client certificates to one account. Forexample, if you had several different departments or businesses on your server, each with its ownWeb site, you could use many-to-one mapping to map all of the client certificates of eachdepartment or company to its own Web site. This way each site would provide access only to itsown clients.

Switching Authentication MethodsYou can switch between Basic Authentication and Integrated Windows Authentication.

1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet ServicesManager .

2. Open the computer where you installed the SmartPlant Explorer Web Server.

3. Open the Default Web Site on the server.4. Right-click SPE, and then click Properties.

5. Click the Directory Security tab.

6. Click Edit in the Anonymous Access and Authentication Control group.

7. Select Basic Authentication or Integrated Windows Authentication. You cannot use bothauthentication methods at the same time with SmartPlant Explorer. You must select one orthe other.

8. Click OK.

9. Click OK.

10. Exit Internet Information Services.

Changing Session TimeoutThe SmartPlant Explorer Web Server disconnects an inactive client connection after 20 minutes(the default IIS setting). This operation ensures that memory and processing resources on theweb server are not wasted on inactive connections. However, if you are frequently receiving the"Your connection to the SmartPlant Explorer server has timed out" message, you can increasethis timeout period. We do not recommend setting the timeout period greater than 20 minutesunless your web server has the memory and processing resources to handle it.

1. Log on as an administrator on the web server.

2. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet ServicesManager .

3. Open the Internet Information Server  folder.

4. Double-click your computer name to expand the branch.

5. Double-click Default Web Site to expand the branch.6. Right-click SmartPlant Explorer , and then select Properties.

7. Select the Virtual Directory tab.

8. Click Configuration in the Application Settings grouping.

9. Select the Options tab.

10. Change the Session timeout option to new timeout period.

Important Files to Back Up

SmartPlant Explorer uses several Microsoft Access databases to track actions, reports, projects,and connection information. When you are finished installing, publishing, and configuringSmartPlant Explorer, you need to backup these databases. If your hard drive fails or you buy anew server, you can simply install SmartPlant Explorer and copy the database files, and you willbe exploring again without re- publishing or re-creating custom reports.

Regularly backup these files:

..\SmartPlant\Explorer\Web Server\System\Actions.mdb

..\SmartPlant\Explorer\3D Module\SPE3D.mdb

..\SmartPlant\Explorer\INtools Module\SPEINtools.mdb

..\SmartPlant\Explorer\SmartPlant Module\SPESP.mdb

..\SmartPlant\Explorer\PDS PID Module\SPEPDS2D.mdb

..\SmartPlant\Explorer\Electrical Module\SPESPEL.mdb

The default installation folder is C:\Program Files. If you installed SmartPlant Explorer to a

different folder, substitute your installation path.

Changing Settings As the administrator of SmartPlant Explorer, you may need to change a setting in the c:\ProgramFiles\SmartPlant\Explorer\Web Server\settings.js file. All settings are documented in the file. Onlymake a change to this file if you are experiencing a problem that editing a setting may correct or ifyou are directed to make the change by Intergraph support.
