2.2 INSTALLATION

Installation:

For installation / Upgrade instructions, reference the appropriate Documentation located on Support Center:

Teamcenter Server Installation on Linux

Teamcenter Server Installation on Windows

Teamcenter Client Installation on Linux

Teamcenter Client Installation on Windows

Teamcenter Upgrade

Deployment Center Guide

Deployment Center:

Starting with Teamcenter 13.0 and Active Workspace 5.0 (Teamcenter 13.0), the respective kits for these releases
(hosted on Support Center) will contain the Deployment Center installer in them. The Deployment Center installer can be
found under the install\DeploymentCenter\ directory in these kits. This installer corresponds to latest version of
Deployment Center. The same Deployment Center version is also posted as a separate download on the Support Center
site to accommodate pre 13.x/5.x releases.

Upgrading or moving to Teamcenter 14.x

To find which versions of Teamcenter can be upgraded to Teamcenter 14.x, reference the Teamcenter Interoperability
(Compatibility) Matrix located under the Teamcenter Support White Pages on Support Center.

https://support.sw.siemens.com/en-US/product/282219420/download/PL20200617155641511

If your initial environment is not supported for direct upgrade to Teamcenter 14.x, you must upgrade to a supported initial
version, and then upgrade to Teamcenter 14.x.

2.3 PLATFORM SUPPORT

For information about versions of operating systems, third-party software, and Teamcenter software that are certified for
your platform,

Reference the following Document located on Support Center : Teamcenter Hardware and Software Certifications

https://support.sw.siemens.com/en-US/product/282219420/knowledge-base/PL8017193

2.4 SUPPORT POLICY FOR THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE

The Teamcenter Hardware and Software Certifications document, on Support Center, describes versions of operating
systems and third-party software certified for use with Teamcenter:

Certified software has been tested by Siemens to ensure its compatibility with Teamcenter. Third-party software includes
databases, compilers, web browsers, and other software used with Teamcenter.

Siemens recommends using only certified operating systems and third-party software, but if you use software versions
that are not certified, be aware of the following considerations:

●       Earlier versions
3 | Page Polarion ALM 21 R2 2022-11-22 09:21
 Lifecycle Collaboration Software Program
Teamcenter 14.2 README (rev. 16923128)

Although Teamcenter may run using earlier software versions than those certified, we strongly discourage using earlier
versions, and we do not provide support for doing so.

●       Later versions

Siemens makes a reasonable effort to support Teamcenter on later operating systems and software, and works with
customers to resolve compatibility issues. However, we usually do not test adequately to immediately certify the later
version.

         Operating systems

Operating system manufacturers typically assure run-time binary compatibility between successive versions of their
operating systems. Some assure compatibility when relinking or rebuilding executables and libraries with later versions
of compilers.

To determine Teamcenter compatibility with operating systems and compilers, Siemens tests:

o       Compatibility for run time.

o       Compatibility for relinking customizations and paths.

If later versions of compilers are not compatible with earlier versions, you must link all Teamcenter customizations using
the compiler version certified for the Teamcenter release. This also applies to installation of Teamcenter patches.

         Software

If a software manufacturer guarantees that a later version of its product is binary-compatible with the preceding version,
Siemens expects Teamcenter to function properly with the later version. Our experience has found few problems running
Teamcenter with software versions later than those certified.

If Siemens discovers incompatible versions of third-party software, we post Software Field Bulletins (SFBs) on Support
Center. This information is also available from your Teamcenter provider.

2.5 SUPPORT CENTER / PLM Support (PLMS)

Support Center is the vehicle for Teamcenter communication. It provides a single repository of current, accurate, version-
controlled Teamcenter information that is accessible through the Internet by authorized users. Maintained within Support
Center is a wealth of information for the diverse mix of customers and employees in the Teamcenter community.

Information in Support Center includes, but is not limited to, the following:

●       Certification announcements and bulletins

●       Frequently asked questions

●       Product defect reports

●       Enhancement requests

●       Patches

●       Shareware customizations

●       Tips pertaining to Teamcenter customization, performance, and administration

●       Product information, customer success stories, and user conference presentations

Support Center can be accessed from the Siemens website or directly through its web server at the following website:

https://support.sw.siemens.com/en-US

2.6 END OF STANDARD MAINTENANCE (EoSM) POLICY

See: SFB-TEAMCENTER-8007006

The Lifecycle Collaboration Software (LCS) business segment is implementing a 2 year End of Standard Maintenance
(EoSM) policy for the Teamcenter Platform and Teamcenter Applications.

This means that patches will only be provided for a given Teamcenter release during the 2 years following its release
date.

Customers using a Teamcenter release that has passed its EoSM date are able to receive PLM Support and
have rights to upgrade to future releases, provided that they are under a current Maintenance,
Enhancement, and Support (ME&S) contract.

Definitions:

Standard ME&S:

Siemens provides full ME&S, giving customers the right to maintenance releases and patches, upgrades to new
releases, and PLM Support

End of Standard ME&S (EoSM):

Date when Siemens no longer provides maintenance releases and patches for the given software release.
Customers may still upgrade to new releases and access PLM Support
Issues may be submitted but are evaluated against the latest software release. Any required corrections are
delivered within a software release under Standard ME&S or a future release

Effectivity:

This policy applies to Major (e.g. 12) and Point releases (12.1, 12.2, etc) and is in effect for all Teamcenter product
releases from 11.3 onward and includes equivalent Active Workspace product releases.

EoSM Product Dates:

All dates will be maintained on Support, in a single document, and updated as new releases are planned.

The document will be located on Support Center under the "Teamcenter Support White Papers Certification" section

Titled:

Teamcenter_EoSM_Schedule_<date>

5 RELEASE NOTES

The following release notes pertain

Administration
Release Note Title: Teamcenter Management Console command line Error and Warning messages Release Note: To
increase security, the Management Console has been updated to use Jetty 9.4.48 version for Teamcenter
14.2. Changes in the newer Jetty 9.4.48 result in additional error and warning messages in the Jetty command window
regarding the module path of the Management Console application. These error and warning messages can be
completely ignored.

For example:

2022-10-20 11:25:36.879:INFO:default:qtp780847129-112: loginService: ERROR: The module path requested,

/mgmt/console/Console/, is not in the same web application as this servlet, /mgmt/security. Your
module may not be properly configured or your client and server code maybe out of date.
2022-10-20 11:25:36.881:INFO:default:qtp780847129-112: loginService: WARNING: Failed to get the
SerializationPolicy 'B7BCFD1E6B1D8538F3091246C238E382' for module 'http://cii6p1139:8040/mgmt/console/Co
nsole/'; a legacy, 1.3.3 compatible, serialization policy will be used. You may experience
SerializationExceptions as a result.
2022-10-20 11:25:36.884:INFO:default:qtp780847129-113: securityService: ERROR: The module path
requested, /mgmt/console/Console/, is not in the same web application as this servlet, /mgmt/security.
Your module may not be properly configured or your client and server code maybe out of date.
2022-10-20 11:25:36.884:INFO:default:qtp780847129-113: securityService: WARNING: Failed to get the

nsole/'; a legacy, 1.3.3 compatible, serialization policy will be used. You may experience
SerializationExceptions as a result.

How to work around or avoid: No workaround needed. These messages do not reflect an actual security weakness
and do not affect functionality.

 Lifecycle Collaboration Software Program
Teamcenter 14.2 README (rev. 16923128)

Release Note Title: TLS less than version 1.2 disabled for Service Dispatcher use on Windows server Release Note: T
o reduce security risk, use of TLS versions prior to version 1.2 is disabled by default for the microservice framework
service dispatcher running on a Windows host. Use of TLS versions prior to 1.2 can be re-enabled if desired.

How to work around or avoid: For a microservice node hosted on Windows and running Service Dispatcher, to allow
Service Dispatcher to use a TLS less than version 1.2, do the following:

Edit %TC_ROOT%microservicesservice_dispatcherresourcesdefaultdispatcher.properties and comment

out the excludeProtocols line.

Example:
# Protocols to exclude
# This is a comma-separated string, with no spaces.
# Example:
# excludeProtocols=TLSv1,TLSv1.1
excludeProtocols=TLSv1,TLSv1.1

Installation and Upgrade

Release Note Title: Webtier is unable to communicate with microservice framework's Service Dispatcher Release Note:
If the microservice framework's signer/validator files are generated using Java11, but the Webtier is using
Java8, the version mismatch causes communication errors from the Teamcenter Web tier to the Service
Dispatcher.
Symptom:
Active Workspace's Gateway ping page shows /tc/micro as "Not Found".
Example:

How to work around or avoid: The solution to this issue is to use Java11 for the Web tier. If for some reason
Java11 cannot be used for the web tier, the JVM option -Dkeystore.pkcs12.legacy may be set in the
jwt_config_tool (generate_keystore.bat) or may be set before starting Deployment Center. The option
configures the java keytool to generate backwards-compatible .p12 files.
Example for generate_keystore.bat:
"%JAVA_HOME%binjava" -Dkeystore.pkcs12.legacy -cp "lib*"
com.teamcenter.jwt.tools.JwtConfigTool %1
Example for Deployment Center (dcserver.bat):
start %DC_WINDOW_TITLE% /SEPARATE "%DC_JAVA_HOME%binjava" -
Dkeystore.pkcs12.legacy -DDC_LOG_DIR="%DC_SERVER_DIR%logs" -
DDCDB_URL=%DCDB_URL% -Djava.library.path="%DC_SERVER_DIR%nativelibs" -cp
"%DC_SERVER_DIR%/shared_libraries/;%JETTY_HOME%/"
org.eclipse.jetty.start.Main

Once new files are generated, do the following:

1. Overlay the new signer files into %TC_ROOT%signer_config

2. Overlay the new signer files into the tc.war
3. Overlay the new signer files into %TC_ROOT%microservicessecrets
a. Rename tc_micro.properties to signer_tc_micro.properties
4. Overlay the new validator files into %TC_ROOT%microservicessecrets
5. Restart the following services:

Installation and Upgrade

Release Note Title: Rich client embedding Active Workspace in a high-security environment Release Note: The rich
client uses WebView2 (Edge based) to embed the Active Workspace into a view panel. When working in high-security
environments, there are two issues that require consideration.

User Data Directory

WebView2 creates a user data directory to store caches and persistent data like cookies and local storage. By default,
all embedded Active Workspace instances in an application share this directory.
The default user data folder directory is:
%LOCALAPPDATA%<span style="font-style: italic;"><AppName>ActiveWorkspaceBrowser
<AppName> is defined using Display.setAppName()

Fixed-version WebView2 runtime configuration

The rich client installation includes the WebView2 Evergreen distribution mode for all embedded browser applications.
The Evergreen mode requires internet access to automatically update the WebView2 runtime files.

How to work around or avoid: User Data Folder

You can override the default user data directory location on a per-process basis by setting the
com.siemens.splm.browser.interop.AWDataDir system property.

Fixed-version webview2 runtime configuration

Although the rich client does not include the fixed-version of WebView2, it is supported if you install it. To configure the
fixed-version of WebView2:

1. Download the Fixed Version from Microsoft’s Download the WebView2 Runtime site.
2. Decompress the WebView2 Runtime package using the command-line command expand {path to the package} -
F: {path to the destination folder} or by using a decompression tool such as WinRAR. Avoid decompressing
through File Explorer. It may not generate the correct folder structure.
3. Include all the decompressed Fixed Version binaries in your app package, for deployment on the target machine
during your app's installation.
4. Use the org.eclipse.swt.browser.EdgeDir system property to set the directory of the fixed version of WebView2.
