Understanding cacheless search and Multi-Site Collaboration

If you work in a Multi-Site Collaboration environment, you can make cacheless spatial and attribute searches of products or programs that are owned or replicated at remote sites. Where appropriate, local and remote objects are incorporated in the search results.

If you enable this feature:

• Teamcenter checks access permissions to the remote BOM lines. If you do not have the necessary permissions, you cannot import the affected remote lines. If appropriate, you can review the search results and import only the lines to which you have access permissions.
• Identical revision and variant rules must be defined at all sites or searches may return inconsistent results. Also, the content of these revision rules and variant rules must always be consistent across all the sites.
• The content of saved queries must be consistent across all sites, or searches may return inconsistent results.
• You can only initiate the search in Design Context and not in Structure Manager or Multi-Structure Manager.

You do not need to manually configure IDSM to use remote cacheless searches. When you install or upgrade the system using Teamcenter Environment Manager (TEM), it installs the callbacks necessary for remote cacheless search. Each site participating in remote cacheless search must install or upgrade the database using the same version of TEM.
