General Issues

Sync/Optimize Text Index Option in EDM
The Sync/Optimize Text Index option in EDM is not functional when used with Java Run Environment (JRE) 1.5 version.

Following are the steps to apply fix for this issue:

  1. Close the EDM application if it is running.
     
  2. Install JRE 1.4.2
     
  3. Rename the following jar files which are under "<EDS_HOME>/edm/com/jars" directory:

    edm.jar
    edmMisc.jar

    where <EDS_HOME> refers to the EDS installation directory.
    Ensure that EDS_HOME environment variable is set correctly.

    For example:

    • On Windows, execute the following commands in the shell prompt

      ren %EDS_HOME%/edm/com/jars/edm.jar %EDS_HOME%/edm/com/jars/edm.jar_org
      ren %EDS_HOME%/edm/com/jars/edmMisc.jar %EDS_HOME%/edm/com/jars/edmMisc.jar_org
       
    • On Unix, execute the following commands in the shell prompt

      mv $EDS_HOME/edm/com/jars/edm.jar $EDS_HOME/edm/com/jars/edm.jar_org
      mv $EDS_HOME/edm/com/jars/edmMisc.jar $EDS_HOME/edm/com/jars/edmMisc.jar_org
       
  4. Copy the following jar files which are under "<EDS_HOME>/edm/com/jars/edm_fix" directory to "<EDS_HOME>/edm/com/jars" directory:
    edm.jar
    edmMisc.jar


    For example:
    • On Windows, execute the following commands in the shell prompt

      copy %EDS_HOME%/edm/com/jars/edm_fix/edm.jar %EDS_HOME%/edm/com/jars
      copy %EDS_HOME%/edm/com/jars/edm_fix/edmMisc.jar %EDS_HOME%/edm/com/jars
    • On Unix, execute the following commands in the shell prompt

      cp $EDS_HOME/edm/com/jars/edm_fix/edm.jar $EDS_HOME/edm/com/jars
      cp $EDS_HOME/edm/com/jars/edm_fix/edmMisc.jar $EDS_HOME/edm/com/jars
       
  5. Remove the "<EDS_HOME>/edm/com/jars/cachedir" directory if exists.

    For example:
    • On windows, execute the following command in the shell prompt

      rmdir %EDS_HOME%/edm/com/jars/cachedir
       
    • On Unix, execute the following command in the shell prompt

      rmdir $EDS_HOME/edm/com/jars/cachedir
       
  6. Include the bin directory of JRE 1.4.2 in the PATH environment variable

    For example:
    • On Windows, execute the following command in the shell prompt

      set PATH=C:\Java\JRE1.4.2\bin;%PATH%
       
    • On Unix (in K shell), execute the following command in the shell prompt

      export PATH=/usr/java/jre142/bin;$PATH
       
  7. Launch the EDM tool again to use Sync/Optimize Text Index option

    NOTE: All other options in the EDM can also be used with JRE 1.4.2
CES Log Files
In case of any deployment issues, CES server connection issues or any other CES runtime issues, log files will be generated and they are stored in the <Installpath>/<OS>/resources/sdm/exploreJS/admin/log directory.

User can turn ON/OFF the various traces using the CESAdmin client. The URL for CESAdmin client is same as the CES Webtop URL, except user has to replace ENOVIAPortal with CESAdmin.  For example, if the CES webtop URL is http://SERVER:PORT/R18/html/ENOVIAPortal; then the CESAdmin URL is http://SERVER:PORT/R18/html/CESAdmin
Total Transaction Lifetime Timeout
The Total Transaction Lifetime Timeout, available on the LCANav server server1, defines the timeout for each transaction. It can be accessed through Application servers > server1 > Runtime tab > Transaction service in the Websphere Admin Console. It has been observed that the default value of 120 seconds provided by Websphere is not enough for some of the more time-consuming transactions, such as the creation of new, large part families in Wintop. This timeout value should be set to an appropriate number, based on the length of the transactions that are anticipated in the CES installation.
