Install Structure Manager using TEM

Installing the Structure Manager application into your existing Teamcenter environment depends on the client that the users use. If the users access Structure Manager through the rich client, no additional applications or features are required to be installed. However, if the users access Structure Manager through Active Workspace, you must install the applications that are mentioned in this topic.

Furthermore, irrespective of users using rich client or Active Workspace for accessing Structure Manager, you can install additional optional applications so that the users can effectively manage Structure Manager data.

Prerequisites

Visualization Extension application is already installed in your Teamcenter setup.

Procedure

1. Stop all Teamcenter services except FSC services before beginning installation.
