SmarTeam - Editor

General Issues

Licensing Each tool that is not part of the Admin Console requires an Editor license.
Security When an object is linked to a secured Folder or Restricted Project, its security context is updated and the Modified by and Modification Date fields are updated as well.
LC Rules Setup When the useViewSecurity key (located in the smarteam.std.lifecycle.config file) is set to TRUE, child objects are not displayed in the tree of the checked-out parent if the user does not have permission to view these objects.
Admin Console In some cases, an error message may appear after closing the Admin Console. This message can be ignored.
Sequence designer When defining a numeric sequence with Pad and clicking the Increment button, the sequence value is incorrect.

To ensure that sequence incrementation works properly, after setting the Pattern definition, click OK and then click Edit to open the sequence for editing again.
Transfer ownership When transferring ownership of an object in a shared workspace, the Created By attribute of previous revisions is modified and displays the name of the new owner.
Installation SmarTeam supports the Microsoft Run As capability.
After installing any SmarTeam application or service pack while using the Run As utility, the same user login provided with the Run As utility should be used again after rebooting the computer.
Data Model Designer The length of a file name and its path is limited to 190 characters, although you can define it in the DMD as longer.
Login SmarTeam does not support the use of "Mandatory Users" of Windows. Therefore, you must use Standard Users.
Installation When performing the SmarTeam - Editor installation, the user is prompted to install for "everyone who uses this computer" or "Me Only". However, the Me Only option is not supported and SmarTeam will not work properly if this option is selected.
Admin Console In some cases, an error message may appear after opening and closing applications in the Admin Console.
Lifecycle In a lifecycle window, when you perform modifications on a structure after propagation was defined, the propagation operation is replaced by the later operation(s). This is not reflected in the GUI. Therefore, it is recommended that you perform a Refresh operation on the structure tree before performing the lifecycle operation.
Administration Guide The FTS script generator provides a script "as is". If there are locks in the database that prevent you from running the script, you should fix the script locally.
If you need to delete the indexes, you should launch SmartDBRepairing.exe and run Repair Indexes.

Form Designer It is not possible to define a label and image controls at the top of a panel control in the Form Designer.

Open Issues

Licensing When using the Dassault Systemes License Server (DSLS), the SmarTeam - Editor license is locked after closing SmarTeam - SolidWorks Integration (SWI) when using Switch to SmarTeam.

SmarTeam - Web Editor / SmarTeam - Navigator


General Issues

Configuration Settings Tab controls

After upgrading database, some Tab controls may not be visible when using SmarTeam - Web Editor profile cards. If this occurs, use the Web Form Designer to reset the tab order by selecting Tools > Reset Tab Orders.
API Hotfix for MSֲ® XML3

In some cases, as a result of the embedded MSֲ® XML3 (DOMDocument), unexpected results and other problems may occur when working with SmarTeam -Foundation. This occurs when using XML, internally and externally, with SmarTeam - Foundation in a multi-threaded environment. This is due to a Microsoft known issue.

For more information on this issue, refer to: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-061.mspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0300/xml/ [DOMDocument versus DOMFreeThreadedDocument].

Microsoft provides a hotfix for MS XML3. To obtain this hotfix, refer to: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;905502
API From SmarTeam V5R19 SP4, the VCManager API (SmarTeam.Std.VC.Web.VCManager) has changed and the ControlsToUpdate() method has been removed.

Instead, you should use RegisterCallback(Control ajaxified, Control updated), where "ajaxified" is the control which initiates the request and "updated" is the control which should be updated by the ajax request.

Refer to Visual Components API documentation for further details on the RegisterCallback method.
Web Browser When canceling an Add operation, the sequence taken for the new object is not discarded.
Web Browser When viewing an object's profile card in Internet Explorer 7 using a zoom level other than 100%, attribute data and labels are not displayed correctly in their new positions. Note: The display of Web pages is resized correctly when using Internet Explorer 8.
Lifecycle When you copy a file in SmarTeam - Web Editor and the "For Copied Files" option is not selected in the Advanced tab, the evaluation report does not evaluate events that occur due to file conflicts. If problems occur, they are reported after you run the Copy operation.
Web Browser Objects are added in the Recent Objects pane at the end of an Add operation only if you click OK or Cancel at the end of the operation.
Web Browser When using a proxy server, it must be defined in the Java control panel, as follows:
From the Java control panel, select Network settings and switch this from Use browser settings to Use Proxy Server and then define the server.

Open Issues

Menu / Toolbar Browse desktop object and Top Down Tree icons
After adding SmarTeam Engineering Express (SNE) to a non-Express database, the menu icons for "Browse desktop object" and "Top Down Tree" are not defined and text is seen instead of the icon.

Workaround:

Define the icon for the command using Menu Editor.
Icons are located in the Icons folder (default path is Smarteam\Icons).
The Top Down Tree icon is PLMDB_TopDownTree.BMP and the Browse Desktop Objects icon is Desktop.ico.
Running Engineering Express Tools
from the BOM Editor
When the BOM Editor is open, it is not possible to run any SmarTeam Engineering Express tools and an error message is displayed. However, no error message is displayed when you run the following tools from the BOM Editor:
  • ECAD Import
  • Display Drawings
  • Upload Documents

Workaround:
Run all SmarTeam Engineering Express tools from the Item tree.
Workflow processes When a SmarTeam Express workflow process is terminated, the process status attribute indicates the process' last status prior to termination, but does not indicate that the process was terminated.

Workaround:
View the value for the "Process Status" attribute instead of the "Flow Process Status" attribute.
Engineering Change Request (ECR) The first time any user creates an Engineering Change Request (ECR), only the class name appears in the workflow window.

Workaround:
Click close and repeat the operation.
User Maintenance Running the SmarTeam Data Model Designer on V5R21 updates some of the definitions for SmarTeam - Express.

Workaround:
The following operations should be performed after running DMD:
  1. Open Admin Console and run User Maintenance.
  2. Enter the Authorization window and verify for all Express groups and users that the "Set Admin Authorization" box is not marked. If it is marked, clear the checkbox for all users except Admin group and users.
