If you face issue installing the client update; please remove the Addin which is added in more than one edition, from all the Vault client editions. Install Autodesk_Vault_2018.2_Update_(Client). And finally enable the Addin in one edition as you desire.

Vault 2018.2 Update is applicable to every Autodesk Vault Client 2018.

• Run 'Autodesk_Vault_2018.2_Update_(Client).exe' on the each workstation which has a Vault client installed.

SERVER INSTALLATION

WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions properly may result in unusable sites.

NOTE: Always ensure that a successful backup has been performed before applying any updates.

SINGLE SITE

Update Installation

1. Reset the web service on the Autodesk Data Management Server (ADMS) by typing 'IISRESET' at a command prompt.
2. Run 'Autodesk_Vault_2018.2_Update_(Server).exe' on the server to install the update.
3. Open the ADMS Console and migrate all un-migrated databases and libraries before proceeding.
• NOTE: It may be necessary to detach an un-migrated database if the update addresses a migration problem.

MULTI SITE (file replication)

Update Installation – applied to every Autodesk Data Management Server (ADMS).

1. Reset the web service by typing 'IISRESET' at a server command prompt.
2. Run 'Autodesk_Vault_2018.2_Update_(Server).exe' on an ADMS server to install the update.
3. Repeat the preceding steps for every ADMS server.
4. Open one ADMS Console and migrate all unmigrated databases and libraries before proceeding.
   NOTE: It may be necessary to detach an un-migrated database if the update addresses a migration problem.

Database Update – applied ONCE from ONE Autodesk Data Management Server (ADMS).

WARNING: DO NOT PROCEED until the update has been successfully applied on ALL ADMS servers.

CONNECTED WORKGROUP (file and SQL replication)

Update Installation – applied to every Autodesk Data Management Server (ADMS) in all workgroups.

1. Reset the web service by typing 'IISRESET' at a server command prompt.
2. Run 'Autodesk_Vault_2018.2_Update_(Server).exe' on an ADMS server to install the update.
3. Repeat the preceding steps for every ADMS server in all workgroups.
4. Open one ADMS Console on the Publisher workgroup and migrate all un-migrated databases and libraries before proceeding.
   • NOTE: It may be necessary to detach an un-migrated database if the update addresses a migration problem.

Database Update – applied ONCE from ONE Autodesk Data Management Server (ADMS) on the Publisher workgroup ONLY.

WARNING: DO NOT PROCEED until the update has been successfully applied on ALL ADMS servers in all workgroups.

5. Ensure that all workgroups are online and accessible before proceeding. Do not proceed until the Replication Status Merge Information dialog shows 'Waiting 60 second(s) before polling for further changes.' for each replicated vault and library.
6. If necessary, open ADMS Console and attach any previously detached databases.

CONFIGURING SHARED VIEWS SERVICE:

• Administrator on subscription contract can assign the 'Shared Views' service to users from the Accounts Portal, only entitled user can access the 'Share View' feature.
• Default value of the 'Shared View' service available on Accounts Portal is 'Off' for the existing as well as newly added users. User should select the check box 'Assign' to start using the 'Share View' capability from Vault Client.
• Please note, it takes few hours to reflect the entitlement status after Administrators assign or un-assign the shared views service to users.

KNOWN ISSUES:

• Server installation may end with an Error - 'Installation ended prematurely because of an error'. You can resolve this error by running the installer from an Administrator command prompt.
• Uninstalling Vault 2018.2 client update may seek the 2018 RTM client install media. Please note that the uninstall action needs the original files to roll backto the previous version.
• Known Issues with 'Share View' feature:
• For 3D .dwg files, the Shared View available on the Autodesk Viewer is a 2D view.
• Autodesk Account 'Sign In' dropdown options are not updated to reflect the correct status, after successful login from 'Share View' command OR from 'Shared View' panel. Relaunching Vault client will reflect the correct dropdown options.

Autodesk Vault is a data management tool integrated with Autodesk Inventor Series, Autodesk Inventor Professional, AutoCAD Mechanical, AutoCAD Electrical, Autodesk Revit and Civil 3D products. It helps design teams track work in progress and maintain version control in multi-user environments. It allows them to organize and reuse designs by consolidating product information and reducing the need to re-create designs from scratch. Users can store and search both CAD data (such as Autodesk Inventor, DWG, and DWF files) and non-CAD documents (such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files).

Overview[edit]

The Vault environment functions as a client server application with the central SQL database and Autodesk Data Management Server (ADMS) applications installed on a Windows-based server with client access granted via various clients such as: Thick Client (Vault Explorer) and Application Integrations. ADMS acts as the middleware that handles client transactions with the SQL database. Vault Explorer functions as the client application and is intended to run alongside the companion CAD software. The Vault Explorer UI (User Interface) is intended to have an appearance similar to Microsoft Outlook and can display the Vault folder structure, file metadata in the form of a grid and a preview pane for more detailed information.

Autodesk Vault is a file versioning system that 'records' the progression of all edits a file has undergone. All files and their associated metadata are indexed in the SQL base data management system and are searchable from the Vault client interface. Other information about the files include version history, uses (composed of a list of children), 'Where Used' (a list of all parents) as well as a light weight viewable in the form of the Autodesk Design Web Format (DWF) file which is automatically published upon check-in. When users intend to edit a file the file is checked-out and edits are made. When the user is satisfied with the changes the file checked-in and new file version, containing the new changes, is then available to other users in the workgroup. In-process file changes (file saves) are hidden from other users until the changes are checked-in. As files are edited, renamed and moved in the folder structure the Vault database automatically updates any file references in related files.

Vault is intended to be the core data management strategy for Autodesk's design products and therefore has add-ins to many of Autodesk's design solutions.

ADMS also plays another role as the hosts for Autodesk Inventor's Content Center (Standard Parts Library) for use by Inventor when it's desired that they are hosted in a central location.

The Autodesk Vault Family of Products[edit]

The Autodesk Vault product family is a stack of products each offering incremental functionality over the previous product. While the base 'Autodesk Vault' is included with many Autodesk design applications; additional functionality is available based on the needs of the organization. Zune software for windows 8. The following products are part of the Autodesk Vault Family.

• Vault - Work-in-Process Data Management
• Vault Workgroup - Customisation, Revision Management & Security
• Vault Professional - Professional Level Capabilities such as ERP Integration, Item Master and more

Note: For the 2011 Release, Autodesk Vault Manufacturing was Renamed to Autodesk Vault Professional. This was also formerly known as Autodesk Productstream in prior releases. The family was subsequently simplified for the 2014 Release with the retirement of Autodesk Vault Collaboration

History[edit]

Autodesk Vault was initially known as truEVault; part of an acquisition from a company called truEInnovations, Inc. based in Eagan, Minnesota. truEInnovations was started by two entrepreneurs, Brian Roepke and Dean Brisson in 1999. The company was founded on the basis of bringing a more affordable tool for managing engineering data to the market.

After the asset acquisition of truEInnovations by Autodesk in 2003, Autodesk began to further the integration of the product into the manufacturing product line, starting with Autodesk Inventor.

Supported Applications[edit]

As of the 2015 release, the following applications are supported by Autodesk Vault.

* These integrations are only available for Vault Workgroup and above. Not the base Vault
