This chapter includes important information about this release of Oracle AutoVue.
The Oracle AutoVue line of products includes AutoVue Client/Server Deployment, AutoVue for Agile PLM, and AutoVue Desktop Deployment.
AutoVue Client/Server Deployment (CS) has AutoVue installed on a server, to which client machines connect to access and view documents. The Client/Server deployment provides a complete, open and standards-based set of integration tools that allows customers to tie AutoVue to any enterprise applications to provide users with a consistent view of data and business objects and expand workflow automation to document-based processes.
Oracle AutoVue for Agile PLM is an Enterprise Visualization solution designed to provide viewing, digital annotation and collaboration capabilities to Agile PLM. Oracle AutoVue delivers visualization capabilities for many document types, including business documents such as Office and Graphics, as well as technical document types such as 2D/3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Electronic Design Automation (EDA). Hence, one of the main benefits of AutoVue for Agile PLM is that users can view numerous file types stored in Agile PLM without having the native application that created the file installed on their desktop machines. Another advantage of AutoVue for Agile PLM is that it decreases bandwidth requirements and improves response time through the use of streaming files. Streaming files contain file data and provide the benefit that AutoVue for Agile PLM can access the streaming files much faster than it can native files.
AutoVue includes a Desktop Deployment and a Client/Server Deployment. For Application User licensing metric (in the Component licensing model) or Custom Suite User licensing metric (in the Custom Applications Suite licensing model), a single license cannot be split or shared between two users (e.g., one user using the AutoVue Desktop Deployment and a different user using the Client/Server Deployment would require two licenses).
For the purposes of the following programs: Oracle AutoVue Office, Oracle AutoVue 2D Professional, Oracle AutoVue 3D Professional Advanced, Oracle AutoVue EDA Professional, Oracle AutoVue Electro-Mechanical Professional, Oracle AutoVue 2D Professional for Agile and Oracle AutoVue Electro-Mechanical Professional for Agile a user external to your company who participates in and attends an AutoVue Real-Time Collaboration session or AutoVue web conference, but neither initiates nor hosts it, is not required to be separately licensed. All users within your company must be licensed.
Customers who wish to make use of Oracle's AutoVue Enterprise Visualization solutions within their Oracle Agile PLM environment must use the AutoVue for Agile visualization products, as they have been specifically designed to work with Oracle Agile PLM. The appropriate AutoVue for Agile visualization products can be downloaded from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud under Oracle Agile Applications product packs.
