To install the Business Modeler IDE, you can install it as a stand-alone application, or if you already have Eclipse installed, install it into your Eclipse environment.
After you install the Business Modeler IDE, allocate additional memory so that Business Modeler IDE has enough memory to run.
Before running TEM, you must have the proper version of JRE installed and have set theJRE_HOMEenvironment variable or theJRE64_HOMEenvironment variable.
For more information, see theInstallation on Windows Clients Guide.
Note The Business Modeler IDE cannot be installed on UNIX platforms.
For information about installing the Business Modeler IDE, see the Business Modeler IDE Guide.
Install the Business Modeler IDE as a stand-alone application
1. Start Teamcenter Environment Manager (TEM).
Note Before running TEM, you must have the proper version of JRE installed.
You must also set theJRE_HOMEenvironment variable if you have a 32-bit system, or set theJRE64_HOME environment variable if you have a 64-bit system.
For more information, see theInstallation on Windows Clients Guide.
2. Proceed to the Solutions panel. In the Solutions panel, select Business Modeler IDE, and then click Next.
3. Perform the following steps in the Features panel:
a. Under Base Install, select one of the following:
• Business Modeler IDE 2-tier
Connects to a Teamcenter server in a two-tier environment using IIOP (over a network).
• Business Modeler IDE 4-tier
Connects to a Teamcenter server in a four-tier environment using HTTP.
• Business Modeler IDE Standalone
Installs only the Business Modeler IDE without requiring connection to a Teamcenter server.
When you select one of these options, a server connection profile is added in the Business Modeler IDE.
For more information, see theBusiness Modeler IDE Guide.
b. (Optional) Select Extensions®Platform Extensibility®Global Services®Mapping Designer.
This installs the Mapping Designer data model mapping tool into the Business Modeler IDE.
c. (Optional) Select Extensions®Mechatronics Process Management®EDA for Business Modeler IDE.
This installs the EDA Derived Data configuration tool into the Business Modeler IDE. This tool is used to configure Teamcenter EDA, an application that integrates Teamcenter with electronic CAD (E-CAD) design applications, such as Cadence and Mentor Graphics.
Note If you install this option, you must ensure that the
Extensions®Mechatronics Process Management®EDA Server and Rich Client Support option is also installed to the server.
In addition, later in the installation process when you select templates to install to the Business Modeler IDE, you must select the EDA Server and Rich Client Support template (edaserver_template.xml).
d. In the Installation Directory box, enter the location where you want to install the Business Modeler IDE. The Business Modeler IDE files are installed to a bmide subdirectory.
e. Click Next.
4. In the Java Development Kit dialog box, click the browse button to locate the JDK installed on your system. The kit is used for creating services. For Teamcenter 10.1, use Java Development Kit 7 or later. Click Next.
5. Depending on whether you selected Business Modeler IDE two-tier or four-tier installation, perform the following steps:
• If you selected the Business Modeler IDE 2-tier option, perform the following steps in the 2-tier server settings panel:
a. In the Connection Port box, type the server port number. The default is 1572.
b. Click the Edit button to the right of the 2-tier Servers box to change the server connection profile settings, or click the Add button to add another server to connect to.
c. Click the Advanced button.
A. Click the arrow in the Activation Mode box to select the mode to use when connecting to the server. The default is NORMAL.
If you want to allow multiple concurrent user sessions to the two-tier rich client, select PER_CLIENT.
B. Click the ellipse button to the right of the Configuration Directory box to select the folder where you want this configuration saved. The default is TC_ROOT\iiopservers.
C. Click OK.
d. Click Next.
• If you selected the Business Modeler IDE 4-tier option, perform the following steps in the 4-tier server configurations panel.
a. Leave the Compress (gzip) the responses from the Web application servers check box selected if you want faster connection performance from the server.
b. Click the Add button to the right of the 4-tier Servers table if you want to add another server to connect to.
c. Click Next.
• If you have previously installed Teamcenter client communication system (TCCS) on your system, and you also selected the Business Modeler IDE 4-tier option, the TcCS Settings panel appears. This panel is used to configure TCCS for use with the Business Modeler IDE. TCCS is used when you need secure Teamcenter communications through a firewall using a forward proxy.
Note If you want to use TCCS, you must install it first. To install TCCS, run the
installation-source\additional_applications\tccs_install\tccs.exe file. To change the TCCS setup later, run the
tccs-installation-location\tccs\_Teamcenter Communication Service_installation\Change Teamcenter Communication Service Installation file.
o If you do not want to use TCCS, ensure that the Use TcCS Environments for 4-tier clients check box is cleared and click Next.
If this check box is cleared, the 4-tier server configurations panel is displayed after you are finished with the current panel.
o If you want to use TCCS, perform the following steps:
a. Select Do not use proxy if you do not want to use a forward or reverse proxy.
b. Select Use web browser settings to automatically use proxy settings already configured in a Web browser.
c. Select Detect setting from network to automatically use proxy settings from the network.
d. Select Retrieve settings from URL and type a valid proxy URL to use a proxy autoconfiguration file.
e. Select Configure settings manually to type valid host and port values for proxy servers.
f. Select the Use TcCS Environments for 4-tier clients check box if you want to use TCCS, or clear it if you do not. (This check box is automatically selected if TCCS is installed.)
g. If the Use TcCS Environments for 4-tier clients check box is selected, you can use the Client Filter Text box to specify a filter text on the available TCCS environments to avoid displaying undesired environments in the rich client client logon window. This box is optional and can hold any string.
h. Click Next.
6. Perform the following steps in the Business Modeler IDE Client panel:
a. Click the Add button to the right of the table to select the templates to install. Templates contain the data model for Teamcenter solutions. The Teamcenter Foundation template is installed by default. The Foundation template contains the data model used for core Teamcenter functions. All customer templates must extend the Foundation template.
Select the same templates that were installed on the server so that you can see the same data model definitions in the Business Modeler IDE that were installed on the server.
Tip Make sure that you select the same templates that are on the server. To find the templates installed on the server, look in the TC_DATA\model directory on the server.
For more information, see theBusiness Modeler IDE Guide.
Note If you installed the EDA option to the Business Modeler IDE, select the EDA Server and Rich Client Support template (edaserver_template.xml).
b. If you have any templates of your own to install or a template from a third-party, click the Browse button and browse to the directory where the templates are located.
c. Click Next.
7. Complete the remaining panels to finish the installation in Teamcenter Environment Manager. When the installation is complete, exit Teamcenter Environment Manager.
8. Verify the installed files in the install-location/bmide directory.
The following data model files are placed into the install-location/bmide/templates folder:
• baselines\template-name_tcbaseline.xml
Contains a snapshot of the template’s data model taken at the release of Teamcenter 10.1, if a baseline was taken.
• icons\template-name_icons.zip
Contains the icons used by that template.
• lang\template-name_template_language_locale.xml
Contains the text that is displayed in the Business Modeler IDE user interface for all languages.
• template-name_dependency.xml
Lists the other templates that this template is built on top of, for example, the Foundation template.
• template-name_template.xml
Contains the data model for this template, including business objects, classes, properties, attributes, lists of values (LOVs), and so on.
• master.xml
Lists the template XML files included in the data model, for example, the foundation_template.xml file.
