update_objecttype

Run this utility after you migrate Teamcenter from a version prior to 8.3 to version 8.3 or later. This utility updates the ObjectType column with the correct Teamcenter object type. The default object type is POM_object. Note This utility may take a long time to run depending on your data size. Running this utility is optional. Syntax update_objecttype [-u=user-id {-p=password | -pf=password-file} -g=group] [-h] Arguments -u Specifies the user ID. This is a user with Teamcenter administration privileges. Note 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. -p Specifies the password. This argument cannot be replaced with the -pf argument. -pf Specifies the password file. For more information about managing password files, see Manage password files. This argument is mutually exclusive with the -p argument. -g Specifies the group associated with the user. If used without a value, the user's default group is assumed. -h Displays help for this utility. Related Topics Structure Management on Rich Client ─ Usage
