This pages also includes General and Open issues for the following ENOVIA SmarTeam applications:
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. |
Authentication manager | It is recommended to run the
Authentication Manager in Windows XP on
client machines. Workaround: None |
Queries | In SmarTeam - Editor, when using Query
By Example, you cannot select a value in
Reference to Class attributes. Workaround: None |
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. Workaround: Close applications and wait for the time set in the license time-out setting in SmarTeam - Editor to elapse. |
None |
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. |
Lifecycle | When performing an out-of-vault
operation on a document tree and
selecting Replace with Selected
Revision twice on the same child
document, the child document disappears
and the parent is displayed. Workaround: For each component, perform Replace with Selected Revision only once. |
General | Display attributes are not changed in
the grid / tree view of the left pane
after the user updates their values in
the profile card. Workaround: None |
Certification | JAR files are released with an expired
certificate at the time of first usage
and a message specifying that there is
an error with the certificate is
displayed. Workaround: Click to continue working. |
Web Browser | A field separator is displayed for
Display Attributes in the navigation
pane but may not be displayed in other
areas, such as Create Link object,
Favorites Objects, etc. Workaround: None |
Web Browser | In some cases, when using the SmarTeam
File Explorer in SmarTeam - Web Editor,
the obtain Smarteam attribute
function does not work properly. Workaround: None |
Licensing | The session timeout in SmarTeam - Web
Editor can be configured in the
web.config file (<SmarTeam Home>\WebEditor\Web)
in the 'sessionState' attribute; the
value is defined in minutes. If the Web Editor browser is closed before the user logs out from Web Editor, the session will be released depending upon the value set for this tag. |
General | SmarTeam Viewers Installation and Configuration Guide incorrectly indicates that the supported JRE version is 1.6.0_13. The correct version number is 1.6.0_14. |
DS Viewer | In some cases, it is not possible to maximize the profile card window after resizing the SmarTeam Viewer window. |
e-Drawings Viewer | The SmarTeam Viewers Installation Guide
indicates incorrectly that eDrawings is
automatically installed and configured as part
of the SmarTeam - Editor installation process. The correct information is as follows: Install eDrawings viewer on each machine on which SmarTeam - Editor is installed. The viewer is located on the SmarTeam DVD in the folder SmarTeam Viewers > SMARTEAM - eDrawings Viewer |
Import Utility | ECAD Import tool The size of the ECAD package that is imported through the ECAD Import utility should not exceed 30 MB. |
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:
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:
