Remove memory backing store files
If you are using shared memory and have updated your text XML files, you must refresh the shared memory cache by removing the memory backing store files. Procedure Ensure the system is idle. No Teamcenter server processes can be running. Remove the memory backing store files. The TC_SHARED_MEMORY_DIR environment variable value specifies the directory where the backing store files are stored. If you do not set this environment variable, the TEMP environment variable (Windows) or /tmp (Linux) directory is used. Note On Windows, if the TEMP environment variable is not available, the C:\temp directory is used. The shared memory files are created under the version/last-build-date/database-site-ID/TextSrv/language directory located in the temporary repository. The many values of the language directory depend on the language used by the Teamcenter server processes, which are the ones used by the connection with Teamcenter. Server error messages and strings are saved respectively in the emh_text.xml.mem and tc_text.xml.mem files. At the next process startup, the system finds the shared memory state is no longer initialized, reads the text XML files, and populates the shared memory cache, thus creating and populating the shared memory backing store file. Note You can disable shared memory functionality and revert system behavior to in-process text storage by setting the TC_NO_TEXTSRV_SHARED_MEMORY environment variable to TRUE.
