Determining the transient volume ID for a different server context

Although a given TcServer only knows about a single logical transient volume, other parts of the system (such as FMS) may need to work with more than one transient volume and therefore transient volumes must be identifiable. A transient volume's identity is a unique value that is based on the SiteID and several of the transient volume preferences. This identity is called the transient volume ID. The transient volume ID listed in the FMS primary configuration file is determined by a combination of the site ID, the value of the Transient_Volume_RootDir preference, and the value of the Transient_Volume_Installation_Location preference. Modifying any of these values changes the transient volume ID, in which case you must manually modify the transient volume ID listed in the primary configuration file. You can obtain a list of current volume definitions in the database by running the backup_xmlinfo utility to generate the backup.xml file. You must define which server context for which you are generating transient volume information. To generate transient volume information for other TcServers within the same system, set the Transient_Volume_Installation_Location preference to the value used for the desired TcServer, then complete the steps listed in Modify the transient volume ID for the current server context. Note The Transient_Volume_RootDir preference allows the configuration of transient volume locations for multiple platforms. Typically, one value represents the location of a transient volume on a Linux system and the other a transient volume on a Windows system. Teamcenter distinguishes the values based on the path name separator (/ for Linux, \ for Windows). If you use only one platform, you can delete the other value. Multiple values can be specified but are not required. If the values specified for the Transient_Volume_RootDir preference have identical values, Teamcenter displays the following error message: Copy Duplicate transientvolume configuration elements were found for attribute id with value attribute_value
