Using Syndeia with Teamcenter

This section provides details on configuring the Teamcenter integration for the Syndeia Cameo plugin. It consists of the following two stages.

Pre-requisites

Syndeia / Teamcenter admins and end users should read and confirm that they satisfy the pre-requisites below.

  1. User should have access to the Teamcenter server (repository) to connect with Syndeia.

  2. User should have an account to log in to the Teamcenter server.

  3. User should be able to connect to the Teamcenter server from their machine. This should be verified by using one of the following clients:

    1. Active Workspace Client from a web browser on the user’s machine

    2. Teamcenter Web Client from a web browser on the user’s machine

    3. Teamcenter Rich Client installed on the user’s machine

  4. Additional notes:

    1. Syndeia directly connects with the Teamcenter server and does not use any of the clients listed above. The clients above are mentioned only for users to verify their accounts and connection to the Teamcenter server from their machine.

    2. An IT enterprise network may have “proxies” in place that alter hostnames and ports for browser sessions to redirect to the Teamcenter server. When connecting Syndeia with Teamcenter, users must directly use the host URL and port for the Teamcenter server.

Collect Teamcenter jar files

The steps in this stage should be performed once by Syndeia / Teamcenter admins for all users of the Syndeia Cameo plugin.

  1. Syndeia / Teamcenter admins should collect the *.jar files in the Teamcenter SOA library that are required for connecting with Teamcenter. Refer to the details on the following page: Appendix G2a - Gather Teamcenter library (jar files).

  2. The libTC folder provided in the step above can be used for all Syndeia clients - Cameo/Rhapsody plugins, Standalone, and Syndeia Web Dashboard.

  3. For the Syndeia Cameo plugin specifically, remove the commons-logging-*.jar file from the libTC folder. This jar file causes a conflict with the libraries included in the native Cameo environment. Provide the new libTC folder (with the 1 jar file removed) to all Syndeia Cameo plugin users.

Configure Syndeia to connect with Teamcenter

The steps in this stage should be performed by all users of the Syndeia Cameo plugin that will be connecting with Teamcenter.

  1. Your Syndeia / Teamcenter admin should have provided you a libTC folder with *.jar files, based on the instructions above.

  2. Copy the libTC folder to the Syndeia Cameo plugin installation folder, as stated in Step 6 of the Syndeia Cameo plugin installation instructions: Install Syndeia plugin

  3. Complete the Syndeia Cameo plugin installation process.

  4. In the Syndeia Dashboard, add a Teamcenter repository by following the instructions here: Adding a Repository.

  5. Follow the Syndeia Teamcenter tutorials - Part 11 - SysML-Teamcenter Capabilities - to learn more.
