Suppressing the display of certain units of measure in Teamcenter

In the following scenarios, you may wish to suppress specific units of measure from being displayed in Teamcenter lists of values. A unit of measure is not mapped to a unit definition Ensure the UMS_show_tc_display_uom preference is set to true. When this preference is set to true, all units of measure not mapped to unit definitions are suppressed. Multiple units of measure are mapped to a common unit definition ID If you have multiple units of measure mapped to a common unit definition (a typical case for legacy units no longer used), use the ums_mapping utility -unmap option to remove the unnecessary units of measure. For example, consider the case where you have the following mappings. Name Symbol Unit Definition ID MyKg MyKg Mass_kg Kilogram kg Mass_kg In this case, both MyKg and kg map to Mass_kg. Use the following process to have only kg to map to Mass_kg. Ensure the UMS_show_tc_display_uom preference is set to true. Using your current unit of measure definitions file, generate a report of your current mappings. For example, Copy ums_mapping -analyze -report_file=report.csv In that report, you'll find the line for the mapping you wish to remove. For example, Is Approved (Replace # with blank to approve) UOM Name UOM Symbol In use (yes/no) Action Status Details Unit Definition ID Unit Definition Name Unit Definition Symbol 1 MyKg MyKg No Analyze Existing-mapped UOM already mapped to UMS Id: NeutralRatio_percent. No further action needed. Mass_kg Kilogram kg Update the unit of measure definitions file by removing the value in the Is Approved column of the unit you with to suppress. (in this case, MyKg). Run the ums_mapping utility with the -unMap option. For example: Copy ums_mapping -unMap -input_file=report.csv With the UMS_show_tc_display_uom preference set to true, MyKg is not displayed in Teamcenter lists of values. Unnecessary units of measure are being displayed By default, all installed units of measure are displayed in Teamcenter and application lists of values. Displaying units of measure not needed by your users can slow the location and use of the units of measure they regularly work with. Use the following process to suppress those units of measure not needed by your users. Ensure the UMS_show_tc_display_uom preference is set to true. Create a unit of measure definitions file containing the units you wish to suppress in Teamcenter. Run the ums_import_unit_definitions utility with the -hideUOM option. For example: Copy ums_import_unit_definitions -file=my_unit_definitions.csv -applications=All -hideUOM The specified units of measure is not displayed in Teamcenter lists of values.
