GetTcserverSettings

PdmSession.GetTcserverSettings

Returns the connect string and discriminator used by NX session to connect to the Tcserver.

The client applications can use these settings to connect to the same Tcserver that NX is using.

Tcserver connect string: The connect string is path of the server hosting the services. The connect string for the different transport protocols will be in the following form: 4-Tier(HTTP mode): similar to http: 2-Tier(IIOP mode): The Tcserver IOR string

Discriminator: The discriminator is a unique identifier and contains unique information related to a given TC server. This unique identifier (discriminator) is recognized by TC pool manager as the session number that ties the server process to the client. The discriminator functionality is part of the SOA package. The discriminator allows multiple clients to connect to the same TC server. In 2-Tier(IIOP mode), the discriminator will be an empty string.

To connect to the same Tcserver as NX, the client can create a Teamcenter::Soa::Client::Connection object using the connect string and then use the Teamcenter::Services::Core::SessionService to login to Teamcenter Server with the discriminator and the connection object. More information about connecting to the Teamcenter server can be found in the TC SOA API Documentation.
