Modify the transient volume ID for the current 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 site ID 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. Note The TC_DATA\tc_profilevars file sets the Transient_Volume_Installation_Location preference to the computer/host name. You can obtain a list of current volume definitions in the database by running the backup_xmlinfo utility to generate the backup.xml file. The utility generates transient volume information for the context in which the utility is being run (the current TcServer context). All other server pools or hosts with transient volumes are not identified. The procedure for setting the TcServer context differs, depending on whether you are on a Windows and Linux platform. To set the TcServer context on Windows and run the utility: Run the Teamcenter command prompt to open a command window by choosing Start→Programs→Teamcenter version→configuration-name Command Prompt. In the command prompt, type backup_xmlinfo -u=tc-admin-user -p=password -g=group where tc-admin-user, password, and group are your site's administrative user ID, password and group ID. To set the TcServer context on Linux and run the utility: Set the TC_DATA environment variable to your TC_DATA directory. Set the TC_ROOT environment variable to your TC_ROOT directory. Run source tc_profilevars. Run backup_xmlinfo -u=tc-admin-user -p=password -g=group where tc-admin-user, password, and group are your site's administrative user ID, password and group ID. With either procedure, the backup.xml file is generated, listing the transient volumes. For example: Copy 468532367 http://cili6s08:7131 public_vol 1b604728a74d1bed3c8f cili6s08 /tc_volumes/tc200712 875acf876dfccbc2dc76e9bf1e807d85 /tmp/transientvolume 8900c6b23daca8dcf231dbbf4331b703 c:\temp Note The transient volume ID and path are platform dependent. Use the ID from either the unixPath or the wntPath. Define the transient volume within FSC elements in the fmsmaster_fscid.xml configuration file.
