Install Teamcenter engineering BOM using Deployment Center

Add the engineering BOM application to your existing Teamcenter environment.

Prerequisites

• Teamcenter is already setup. If not, follow the instructions in Teamcenter Installation Using Deployment Center to deploy Teamcenter.
• If Teamcenter is already set up, verify if Visualization Extension application is installed for enabling the serverless client-side rendering capability in the Teamcenter environment.
• Deployment Center is setup. If not, plan its deployment.

Procedure

1. Log on to Deployment Center and select the environment to which you want to add the engineering BOM.

2. Go to the Applications task. Click Add or Remove Selected Applications.

3. In the Available Applications panel, use the web browser search to find the following applications and select the required applications.

   • Assembly BOM

   • Usage BOM

   • Color BOM for Active Workspace

   • Assembly BOM Rapid Start — This application installs the following items:

     • Sample data that users can use to quickly get started with engineering BOM, along with a readme file providing instructions on how to import this sample data into your environment. The sample data is located at <Teamcenter_Installation_Directory>\install\rsa1asmbomrapidstart\data.

       Note: The use of the sample data might require installation of additional applications.

     • A file containing a consolidated list of preferences for engineering BOM. This file is located at <Teamcenter_Installation_Directory>\install\rsa1asmbomrapidstart\data.

     • The BMF_Pma0_find_target_items_for_sources and BMF_Pma0_populate_target_item_creI_for_sources files, which help you customize Teamcenter behavior with user exits.

   • Wire Harness Configuration for Active Workspace — Select this application only when you want to import the electrical CAD data from electrical and electronics (E/E) systems development software like Capital and mechanical CAD data from CAD software like NX to Teamcenter.

     Note: If you want to manage cost data for your structures, you can also install cost rollup and management application.

   Deployment Center automatically selects any additional dependent applications.

4. Click Update Selected Applications.

5. Go to the Components task.

6. In the Selected Components list, note any remaining components whose configuration status is not 100%. Select each incomplete component, enter required parameters, and save component settings until all components in the environment show a configuration status of 100%.

   When all components are fully configured, the Deploy task is enabled.

7. Go to the Deploy task. Click Generate Install Scripts to generate deployment scripts you will use to update affected machines.

   When script generation is complete, note any special instructions in the Deploy Instructions panel.

8. Locate deployment scripts, copy and run each script to its target machine.

   For more information about running deployment scripts, see Run the deployment scripts in the Deployment Center ─ Usage help.

   If you face any issues during the deployment, see Troubleshooting deployment in the Deployment Center ─ Usage help.

What to do next

• To organize the EBOM content in partitions, deploy Partitions for Structure.
• To index structures for faster search and for additional filtering and configuration capabilities, deploy Smart Discovery Indexing.
• To manage variability data outside of structures, deploy Product Configurator.
