Application Administration > Configuring units of measure
Configure available units of measure
Administrators can configure the units of measure that are available across Teamcenter. This unit management system (UMS) based on classified units is first available in Teamcenter version 2406. A list of nearly 1400 units of measure is provided in the Teamcenter installation kit. Out of the box, only a subset of the units are installed, depending on the applications installed. Installers and administrators can configure the units to add, and can add new units. Procedure In the Teamcenter kit or in the TC_ROOT\TD folder, find and open unit_definitions.csv. Application columns begin with column Q (BASE). Unit rows for which an application column has the value 1 will be considered by the ums_import_unit_definitions utility. Note During initial installation, if an application is installed in the environment, unit rows for which the application column has the value 1 are imported to the database. Edit the file to ensure that the unit definitions you want to administer have the value 1 for an application. In the event that no class definition exists for a unit you want in your environment, create a new row. Using the edited unit_definitions.csv, run the ums_import_unit_definitions utility.
