Pair BIMcloud Server

Pairs the BIMcloud Manager with a newly installed BIMcloud Server.

Note: If you install a new BIMcloud Manager, and you then install a new BIMcloud Server immediately afterwards (as described at Clean Installation), the pairing process occurs automatically.

Use this function to ensure that the newly installed BIMcloud Server can communicate with the BIMcloud Manager. This involves copy-pasting the BIMcloud Manager’s public key (token) into the BIMcloud Server’s Configuration screen.

This function is available in the Server Root folder and any of the server folders.

1.Open the BIMcloud Manager web interface in a browser window.

2.Select the folder (Servers root or another server folder) where you wish to place the BIMcloud Server that is being paired.

3.Click the Pair command.

8. Click Next. (If the URL is not working, fix the error.)

9.Add a name to your server. This name will be displayed in the Navigator and used in ARCHICAD when referring to it as a host server.

10.Paste the copied text to the BIMcloud Server’s configurator screen.

Note: If the configuration is not currently in progress, you can access this screen here: go to the Tray application or the BIMcloud application folder, then use Configure BIMcloud Server.

11.The BIMcloud Server configuration interface appears. Click Next.

12.Use the Paste command (e.g. Ctrl + V) to paste the previously copied token into the Public Key input field, then restart the server.

13.Return to the web interface: the Pair New BIMcloud Server dialog.

14.Click Next.

15.On the final screen, click Finish.

The BIMcloud Server will automatically appear in the Navigator of the BIMcloud Manager.
