It is strongly recommended that installation of Translation Solutions be performed using a dba user. Failure to do so prevents preferences from being imported into Teamcenter.

There are three translation scripts based on Teamcenter's Dispatcher translation management capabilities.

1.      SIEMENS.catiav5tojtdirect; used to convert CATIAV5 files into JTs.

2.      SIEMENS.catiav4tojtdirect; used to convert CATIAV4 files (.model) into JTs.

3.      SIEMENS.catiav5preview; used to create thumbnails (.bmp files) from CATIA files (Windows platform only).

Two Dispatcher components, DispatcherClient and Module (part of the Dispatcher Server), must be modified to host and run the translators. These components may be installed on different machines.

Refer to Teamcenter documentation for information on using Dispatcher.

Translators used by the SIEMENS.catiav5tojtdirect, SIEMENS.catiav4tojtdirect and SIEMENS.catiav5preview scripts are Java based client applications using Teamcenter Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Refer to Teamcenter Services' documentation, if necessary.

Use InstallAnywhere to deploy the required translator files, import related preferences and edit customization files and scripts.
