Updating the SIMULIA Execution Engine Properties File

To complete the configuration of the Federation feature, a single setting in the acs.properties file needs to be updated for both the local and remote systems.

  1. On the local system, navigate to the following directory in your SIMULIA Execution Engine installation: 

    <see_install_dir>/config/

  2. In the text editor of your choice, open the acs.properties file.

  3. Locate the following entry in the file:

    #fiper.b2b.url=

  4. Remove the leading # character from the entry.

  5. Add the following string to the end of the entry (after the = sign), replacing local_system with the actual name of the local system and port_number with the listen port of the WebLogic managed server that is hosting the Federation application:

    http://local_system:port_number

    Note: If you are using horizontal or vertical deployment, the port number will match the one used by the managed server hosting the SIMULIA Execution Engine.

  6. Save and close the file.

  7. Repeat Steps 1 through 6 on the remote system. Be sure to use the remote system name and port number when editing the acs.properties entry.

  8. On any SIMULIA Execution Engine used in the Federation environment, stop and restart the WebLogic Administration Server and all managed servers. For more information on performing this step, refer to the SIMULIA Execution Engine Installation and Configuration Guide - WebLogic.
