Modify AND and OR operators in variant conditions

Procedure

  1. In your Teamcenter installation directory, search for the tc_text_locale.xml file, for example, TC_ROOT\lang\textserver\en_US\tc_text_locale.xml.

  2. Create a backup of this file.

  3. Open the file and search for the k_variant_op_and and k_variant_op_or values and modify them.

    Example:

    <key id="k_variant_op_and">AND</key>
    <key id="k_variant_op_or">OR</key>
    

    Change as follows:

    <key id="k_variant_op_and">&amp;</key>
    <key id="k_variant_op_or">|</key>
    
  4. Start Teamcenter and confirm that formula representation is now changed from AND, OR to &, | successfully.
