The installation of the CATIA Teamcenter Interface RII consists of two parts.
The first step is to modify and extend your Teamcenter server installation. This is done
by deploying a new custom template to the Teamcenter database.
The second step is to install the client side components. This includes the installation
of:
1. CMI CATIA V5 module
2. RII Teamcenter Rich Client application
3. RC CMI listener, a program responsible for the communication between
CATIA and Teamcenter Rich Client.

Server Side Installation
How to deploy the CMI RII Custom Template to the Teamcenter Configuration

1. Download the software from http://www.cmi-support.com/. Choose

“Download”  “CMI RII”  “CMI RII Client Software / Teamcenter 2007
(unified)”  “CMI RII Server Package for Teamcenter 2007”.

2. Locate the downloaded archive (CMIRII_Server_Template_V100.zip) that

contains the four template feature files. Unpack the archive, for example to
“C:\temp\template”.

3. Launch the TEM (Teamcenter Environment Manager) from TC_ROOT/install

directory. Select “Configuration Manager” an click Next:

Figure 1: TEM - Maintenance page

 Figure 5: TEM - Select Features page

Most likely this list does not contain your new custom template, because it is not a
part of the default Teamcenter installation. To install the template, TEM needs to
be made aware of it. You do this by clicking on the Browse button (right below the
feature list). In the following dialog, find the directory that contains the template
feature files (see 1.)), select the “feature_cmirii.xml” and press the Select button:

CHAPTER 3
Client Side Installation
The CMICATV5 (CMI-CATIA V5 Integration) module provided by T-Systems
International GmbH extends the CATIA V5 functionality to communicate with the
Teamcenter PDM system.
You should perform the following steps with your CATIA system administrator. The
CMICATV5 module includes all of the supported platform data in a compressed file.
Thus, you should choose an installation location for all CATIA V5 clients.

1. Download the software from http://www.cmi-support.com/. Choose “Download”

 “CMI RII”  “CMI RII Client Software / Teamcenter 2007 (unified) and
select there the appropriate version (CMI RII Client Package for V5R1x / TC
2007).
2. Locate the downloaded archive file
(d:\cmicatv5\CMIRIICATV5_[Rxx]_V[xxx].zip). Extract the content of the
archive file to a temporary installation location.
3. Inside the temporary installation location, locate the folder
“c:\install_test\CMIRIICATV5_R1x_94V01\install\windows” for an installation
on a client with Windows 32-bit or the folder
“c:\install_test\CMIRIICATV5_R1x_94V01\install\windows_64” for an
installation on a client with Windows 64-bit.
4. Start the installation by double-clicking “Setup.exe”.
5. The “CMI RII CATIA V5 Installation Setup” wizard appears. Click Next:

Figure 12: Setup - start page

 6. The Information page displays a short text with information, such as contacts.
Proceed with Next:

Figure 13: Setup - Information page

7. On the CATIA V5 Installation Path page you will be asked for the CATIA V5
installation path. If the path was not found in the Windows registry, select the
path using the Browse button and proceed with Next:

Figure 14: Setup – CATIA V5 Installation Path

8. On the Choose Destination Location you have to enter the folder where setup
will install CMI RII CATIA V5. Select the path using the Browse button and
proceed with Next:

CMI RII Installation & Administration Guide 11

 Figure 15: Setup - CMI RII CATIA V5 Setup Destination Location Chooser

9. To perform file exchange between Teamcenter and CATIA, CMI RII CATIA V5
needs a local directory. Please ensure
a. that this directory exists for every CMI RII user and
b. that every CMI RII user has full access to it.
Select the path using the Browse button and proceed with Next:

Figure 16: Setup – CMI Exchange Directory

12 CMI RII Installation & Administration Guide

 10. On the next page you will be asked for the folder, where the Teamcenter Rich
Client resides (TC_PORTAL_ROOT). This folder contains also the Rich Client
start script (“portal.bat” or “otwportal.bat”). The Rich Client folder is usually
named “portal”, sometimes also “rac” – that depends on your Teamcenter
installation (2-tier or 4-tier, patch level). Please contact your Teamcenter
system administrator to make sure that the selected path is correct. Select the
folder using the Browse button and proceed with Next:

Figure 17: Setup – TC_PORTAL_ROOT Location

11. Select the Teamcenter Rich Client start file. This is a batch script that is
located in the Rich Client folder (the one you have selected in the previous
step). The file is usually named “portal.bat”. If you have a 4-tier Rich Client
OTW installation, the file is usually named “otwportal.bat”. Please contact your
Teamcenter system administrator to make sure that you have selected the
correct file. Select the file using the Browse button and proceed with Next:

is based on the currently used CATIA environment file. Please select the
currently used CATIA environment file using the Browse button. Proceed with
Next:

are located in the CMI RII CATIA V5 installation folder (see “Client Side Installation”,
8.).

cmi_start.bat
This file starts CMI CATIA V5.

rii_start.bat
