Before you begin

Unless otherwise noted in the description of a utility, the program files associated with the utilities described in this manual are located in the bin directory under the Teamcenter application root directory. Prerequisites Unless stated otherwise in the description of the utility, you must be a member of the dba group or a group that is granted dba privileges. Enable the utilities Most of the command utilities are enabled by user authentication using the user ID and password supplied in the -u and -p arguments. If these arguments are not required, the command is enabled by default. If Security Services single sign-on (SSO) is enabled for your server, the -u and -p arguments are authenticated externally through SSO rather than being authenticated against the Teamcenter database. If you do not supply these arguments, the utility attempts to join an existing SSO session. If no session is found, you are prompted to enter a user ID and password. Configure the utilities For information about configuring the utilities, see Setting up a Teamcenter command-line environment. Start the utilities Each utility is initiated by entering its name and optional parameters.
