Operating System Considerations

 

Microsoft Windows XP

Applies to... CATIA ENOVIA DMU ENOVIA 3dcom ENOVIA VPM DELMIA V5  
Allocation of more than 2 GB of memory
yes yes     yes Access to more than 2.0 GB for allocations of data and code within a V5 process running on Windows XP is made possible. This capability requires additional settings described in Section
Accessing more than 2.0 GB of memory on Windows XP
Search Function on Internet Explorer
yes       yes In order to be able to use the Search function on Internet Explorer, you must first activate the option IE Java(Sun) ( plug-in 1.5 update 7 at minimum level). Otherwise, the Java applet will not appear, and will be replaced by a grey box.
To do so:
  1. Start Internet Explorer.
  2. Select Tools->Internet Options...
  3. Select the Advanced tab.
  4. Check the Java (Sun) option.
  5. Click OK and restart Internet Explorer

IBM AIX

Applies to... CATIA ENOVIA DMU ENOVIA 3dcom ENOVIA VPM DELMIA V5  
Allocation of more than 1 GB of memory
yes yes     yes Access to more than 1.0 GB for allocations of data within a V5 32-bit process is made possible. This capability requires additional settings described in Section
Accessing more than 1.0 GB of data on AIX
Circle elements displayed as ellipses on AIX
yes         If you have a problem with, for instance, circles which are
represented like ellipse on the screen, you have to set the real
screen's width and height in mm using smit.

To do so, log on as root. Then, in a terminal window, type smit and press Enter.
In the smit window:
select "Devices", then "Graphic Display", then "Select the Display Size" and select the correct graphic adapter.

Type the real width and height value of the screen in mm. Then
select "OK", then "DONE", then "CANCEL" and finally "Exit".

You then have to restart your computer.

Hewlett-Packard HP-UX

Applies to... CATIA ENOVIA DMU ENOVIA 3dcom ENOVIA VPM DELMIA V5  
Allocation of more than 2 GB of memory
yes yes     yes Access to more than 2.0 GB for allocations of data within a V5 process is made possible. This capability requires additional settings described in Section
Accessing more than 2.0 GB of data on HP-UX
c8000/Fire GL T2, X1, X3
yes yes     yes With c8000/Fire GL T2, X1, X3  please uncomment the option "AccelerateIndirectRendering" "false" in file /etc/X11/XF86Config to avoid graphic corruption when using Print/Preview.
V5 VPM Server with Single Sign-on
      yes   When using V5 VPM Server with SSO, it is necessary to set LD_PRELOAD as documented on
http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/java2/jdkjre5_0
/infolibrary/jdk_rnotes_5.0.html#TLS.

However, setting the LD_PRELOAD for libjvm.sl generates runtime errors on other modules :

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: __text_start (data)
from /opt/java1.5/jre/lib/PA_RISC2.0/server/libjvm.sl

 /usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved module for symbol: __shlinit (code) from /usr/lib/libCsup.2

To limit the impact of this customization, it is recommended to modify the runServerVPM_CXR1.sh ( in hpux_b/code/command ) in the following way :

  • Log as root
  • Edit the runServerVPM_CXR1.sh and
    • add the following lines before  "exec VDO0OrbServer $my_args >> $trace 2>&1" (warning ! the first command line may be displayed on several lines, but it must be entered on a single line):
      • export SHLIB_PATH=/usr/lib:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/PA_RISC2.0:
        $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/PA_RISC2.0/server:
        $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/PA_RISC2.0/native_threads:$SHLIB_PATH
      • export LD_PRELOAD=$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/PA_RISC2.0/server/libjvm.sl
    • add the following lines just after "exec VDO0OrbServer $my_args >> $trace 2>&1" :

      unset LD_PRELOAD

Solaris SUN

Applies to... CATIA ENOVIA DMU ENOVIA 3dcom ENOVIA VPM DELMIA V5  
Icons on Pull-down Menus
yes yes     yes Note that icons do not appear on pull-down menus. When the user exits the menu, the display is redraw, but on SUN platform, a special technique has been used to improve display redraw. The use of this technique prevents icons from appearing on menus. If you want icons to be visible, export the following variable before starting a session: SUN_NO_OVL=YES. Keep in mind, however, that if you are displaying a large model, this will degrade display performance when exiting menus.
Common Desktop Environment Configuration
yes yes   yes yes The standard CDE (common desktop environment) configuration displays the motif pop-up windows behind the application main window. Go in the Style Manager in the CDE tool bar, window menu, and change the "Allow Primary On Top" value.
Expert3D Graphics Adapter
yes yes yes   yes If using an Expert3D graphics adapter, please check that attribute Default Visual is set to Non-Linear Overlay Visual with command 'fbconfig -propt'. If not, please update this attribute to the right value with command 'fbconfig -defoverlay true'. A log out is required to make this update be taken into account once and for all.
Refresh Issues due to Java
    yes     When running Java, some refresh issues may be seen on the roadbook and toolbars , this problem can be fixed by setting the "NO_J2D_DGA=1" environment variable or adding it to the user ".profile" file.
Root Directory With More Than 12 Characters
    yes     The root directory for installing ENOVIA 3d com should not exceed 12 characters. For example, the default directory proposed during the installation of the product, /usr/DassaultSystemes/Bxx, could be replaced by /usr/DS/Bxx. The PTF delivered for APAR HC66411 fixes that problem.
