Upgrade known issues and workarounds

If Easy Plan 2.7 was installed in your environment, when you upgrade to Teamcenter 12 an error message displays and deployment fails.

To resolve this issue, navigate to %TC_ROOT% and delete the media_teamcenter_easyplan_wntx64.xml file before you start the upgrade.

Production Process Planning known problems and workarounds

  • The compare and propagate variant formulas feature does not work in Teamcenter 11.6. You must install the Teamcenter 11.6.0.8 patch before end users can compare and propagate variant formulas in your environment.

  • There is a bug in Teamcenter 11.4 that causes a problem working with activities in Production Process Planning. As a workaround, set the Attachment_window_clean_up_disable preference to false. This is fixed in Teamcenter 11.5.

Production Process Planning and Work Instructions Authoring known problems and workarounds

If an end user creates a Plant object type as a root, this action causes an issue. As a workaround, modify the MEPlantCreate stylesheet for Plant and remove the section for the IMAN_master_form:cost property.

Note:

If an end user creates a Workarea object type as the root of a plant structure, this issue is not reproduced, because the Workarea object type uses the WorkareaCreate stylesheet.
