Post-installation configuration tasks for the Teamcenter MBSE Integration Services desktop client

Ensure that the following configurations are done after installing the Teamcenter MBSE Integration Services desktop client:

• If accessing a Teamcenter server hosted on a virtual machine cloud, add the server IP and the domain name in the hosts file located at C:/Systems32/Drivers/etc or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc.

  Example: 10.134.56.84 vc6s004.net.plm.eds.com

• In the BHMClient.properties file located in the TC_MBSE_Client_ROOT\bhm\ directory, set the value of PROJECT.stagingDir to the same local directory as for the other tool integrations.

#======================================================================
# BHM File System Variables
# -------------------------
# Set the following variables to define the cache and staging directories on the
# operating system.
# Path separator for unix should be "/", and "\\" for windows.
# MATLAB.StagingDir - Defines the staging directory to be used by BHM. Required.
#======================================================================

MATLAB.StagingDir=C:\\bhm\\staging
PROJECT.StagingDir=C:\\bhm\\staging

• For hosted Active Workspace, update the ActiveWorkspaceHosting.URL preference with the value of the Active Workspace url.

  Example: http://hostname:3000

  The value http or https should be based on the server.

• For Security Services, ensure that the following variables are defined in the CommonClient.properties file:

#======================================================================
# SSO Connection Variables
# ------------------------
# Set the following variables to define the target Teamcenter SSO server,
# Application ID and SSO Session flag value.
# Note: These are the default values and will be changed as per the
# SSO login dialog.
#
# TC_SSO_LOGIN_URL    - Defines the default Teamcenter SSO URL for the login dialog.
# TC_SSO_APP_ID       - Defines the default Teamcenter SSO Application ID.
# TC_SSO_SESSION_FLAG - Defines the default Teamcenter SSO Session Flag.
#
#======================================================================

TC_SSO_LOGIN_URL=http://<servername>:<port>/sa
TC_SSO_APP_ID=<SSO-App-ID>
TC_SSO_SESSION_FLAG=true

Note: Installation of the security agent is required on the desktop client for Security Services to work.

• Check if fcc for the MBSE Integration Services client is started using the command: fccstat.exe -status

  If it is not started, open the folder TC_MBSE_Client_ROOT\tccs\bin and start the fccstat command from the command line as follows: fccstat.exe -start

• Other points to note:

  • One MBSE Integration Services client can point to only one Teamcenter server. To connect to multiple Teamcenter servers, multiple MBSE Integration Services client installations are required.
  • The MBSE Integration Services client version must match the MBSE Integration Services server version.

For additional configurations to the MBSE Integration Services client, see List of optional client configurations for Teamcenter MBSE Integration Services.

After performing these configurations, for the next steps, refer to the MBSE Integration Services deployment checklist.
