How to switch from TC8.3 with NX7.5 and TC9 with NX9 ?
How to switch from TC8.3 with NX7.5 and TC9 with NX9 ?
(OP)
Hi,
I use the following method to switch from TC8.3 with NX7.5 and TC9 with NX9.
- Launch Environment Manager as administrator
- Remove NX Manager for Rich Client
- Start again
- Add NX Manager for Rich Client
It works well but it's time consuming
I hope that another method exist with a batch command to launch the configuration.xml file (see attached my configuration file)
Thanks in advance
Regards
Didier

RE: How to switch from TC8.3 with NX7.5 and TC9 with NX9 ?
Have you tried using the silent mode from the command line? (TEM -s config_file_name.xml)
(the config file can be generated but enabling the "Create Silent Distribution" checkbox in TEM on the third page (Feature Maintenance), specifying the xml file and performing the desired (dry run) steps)
Hope this helps,
Joe

I tried your suggestion and I have got the folowing message
Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.teamcenter.install.tem.director.Director.run(Director.java:44)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
TIA

Was this while using the first (of two) "silent" xml "config" for the "uninstall"?
Are you using the same o.s. account (domain\user) to perform this maintenance as was used to perform the initial installation (as captured in the latest installation config file)?

It works now
I succeed to create two silent installation for TC9 with NX9
One to remove NX Manager for Rich Client
Another one to Add NX Manager for Rich Client
Then I was able to launch:
tem -s uninstall_NXManager.xml
or
tem -s install_NXManager_for_NX9.xml
But I didn't succeed to do the same with TC8.3: The switch to create Silent Installation doesn't exist (have a look at the jpeg file)
TIA

Start secpol.msc
Ø User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode - Elevate without prompting.
Ø User Account Control: Detect application installations and prompt for elevation – Disabled.
Ø User Account Control: Only elevate UIAccess applications that are installed in secure locations – Disabled.

I found that if I launch c:\softs\TC9\portal\portal_NX9.bat, I am able to change the NX version without exiting TC9 because It's possible to launch NX85.reg for example :)
I hope this help
