Volume and database management utilities

vms_upgrade

Modifies any commercial part, vendor part, and vendor data created before Teamcenter 2007.1 MP4 to conform to the updated vendor management data model. The utility creates GRM relations between these items where a VendorIdentifier object had previously been used. The CommercialPart object is now directly related to the ManufacturerPart (Vendor Part) object by the new VMRepresents relation, which holds vendor status information. The VendorIdentifier and IdContext objects are no longer associated with the CommercialPart object. The new TC_vendor_part_rel GRM relation is used to associate the ManufacturerPart with the vendor. Syntax application_root/bin/vms_upgrade [-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 is mutually exclusive 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 Introduction to administering volumes
