What's new in Easy Plan 2.9

Installation

  • All workspaces in Easy Plan 2.9 are supported on Teamcenter 11.4 and higher, and Active Workspace 4.1, including patches.

  • The Teamcenter Manufacturing Access workspace is supported on NX 12.0.2 or later.

  • The Teamcenter Manufacturing Access workspace is supported on Process Simulate 14.1.x or later.

  • You can install Easy Plan using the Deployment Center or the Teamcenter Environment Manager (TEM).

Production Process Planning configuration

  • You can specify which station property displays on the station property tile of the line balancing page.

    See Station preferences for details about setting the property that displays on the station tile.

  • You can specify which property displays in a column of the Parts subtab when end users assign items from the manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM) to the plant bill of process (BOP).

    See MBOM item preferences for details about setting the property that controls data column configuration.

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.

Teamcenter Manufacturing Access known problems and workarounds

There is a known issue when Teamcenter Manufacturing Access is installed on IIS servers for the .NET platform. When end users launch Process Simulate it opens, but then when you open Teamcenter Manufacturing Access it resolves to an incorrect URL, and Study Manager opens with a blank view. End users cannot perform any work in Study Manager.

To resolve this issue, perform the following tasks:

  1. Navigate to TC_ROOT\install\easyplanclient\ and deploy the easyplan.zip file.

  2. In the Teamcenter rich client, set the TCMAccessHosting.RAC.URL and ActiveWorkspaceHosting.PS.URL preferences so the URLs resolve to EasyPlan. For example, for a server named MyServer on port 7007, type http://MyServer:7007/EasyPlan.
