How can I create a site location for the machinery library in Tc?
How can I create a site location for the machinery library in Tc?
(OP)
We've moved to Tc 8.3 and we're using NX 7.5. I set up the machinery library as a site function in native mode so I could install it once and everyone would have access to the same items. My question is how to do the same thing in Teamcenter. How can I install the machinery library as a site function? So far I can only get it to work in Tc by installing it on each users computer, which I don't want to do.

I have set it thru the customer defaults, Gateway - Reuse library - General - Teamcenter integration , and there it is site dependent by nature if it's set under site defaults level.
Or ?

In Native NX, I have a site on teh network where I have copied the UGII, UGDOC, customer_defaults, etc. There I created a folder that contains the reuse library with the machinery standard parts. Then, using the default level "Site", in the customer defaults-->Reuse Library-->General-->Native NX is Reuse|T:\pathway to the reuse folder on the network, locked to prevent changing at the user level.

I know that "in very old" versions there were problems with the KRX, ( Or rather that older versions of TC did not know what a krx was.)
When i installed the M.lib., i read the guide very carefully and it worked as expected.
You could run a "Impact analysis - where referenced " on one of the standard parts to see where / what folder it resides in.
The address to the reuse in the customer defaults above looks a little strange
"the customer defaults was to be Reuse|infodba:Home, Machinery Library."
the folder separation in Teamcenter should be ":", which in the above maybe should be
"Reuse|infodba:Home:Machinery Library"

The version I used was downloaded from the GTAC site about 2 months ago. So, it should be good.
I reconstructed the folder structure in Tc, infodba:home, searched and found everything and put it where it belongs. The .krx files came along when I put everything in the correct folders so they were in Tc somewhere still referencing the parts.
In the Customer Defaults, site level, I set the address to Reuse|infodba:Machinery Library and everything works now. Had to remove Home from the address. I know I could have set it like Machinery Library|infodba:Machinery Library and everyone would have had the folder Machinery Library but they are used to seeing it under the Reuse folder from NX native.
I believe that the address error is why I had to search for the test folder and add it to each users library. I feel silly about that because I know that the "," is wrong and should be ":". Thanks for remining me.
