Hardware Proposal

Component Interaction

Teamcenter Engineering System Component Interaction

The following slide shows how processes are connected and provides an overview to illustrate the following points:

• Portal clients connect to imanserver similar to the way Web clients connect to a Web server.

• Motif clients connect directly with the Oracle database and Teamcenter Engineering data vaults using SQLNet and NFS (or iMANFS) respectively. Custom clients using the apiserver process are similar to Motif clients.

Teamcenter Engineering Servers

Dedicated Oracle Servers

• Oracle to run stand alone is the goal, is the preferred way to run oracle, ‘best practices’.

• One development env, a matching production env.

• Have had instances with d0ora2 where a stand alone environment would have prevented downtime.

• Stand alone server is the cdf and minos model.• Prevents competition for resources with the

database, decreasing potential downtime.

The critical decision for the Teamcenter Engineering implementation team is the sizing and placement of Oracle, vault and application servers. (for example, Portal,Web). Again, this is highly dependent on network infrastructure and TeamcenterEngineering usage profiles. Network traffic between the Teamcenter Engineeringshared servers and the Oracle server is proportionally greater than that between aserver and its clients. Therefore, the network connection between TeamcenterEngineering servers and the Oracle server should be high bandwidth and low latency. Teamcenter Engineering server communication with the clients is more tolerant of low-speed, high-latency networks.

Planning Teamcenter Engineering Servers

Vault Servers

• The vault servers house the ‘real’ data, and will be supported by the cad divisions, not dsg.

Non DbServer Support

Propose to run the non db server apps on a separate NT machine(s). One NT for production, the other for development and other instances. – Apache web server– Portals– Licenses

Teamcenter Engineering Portal Servers

Portal implementations have a variety of configuration options, as previously described. Like the Teamcenter Engineering Web server, the Teamcenter Engineering Portal server is also computationally intensive and is best served by a machine with a high SPECint rate (throughput) rating. Portal servers also require significant amount of memory (multiple gigabytes) to support large numbers of users.

Development Environment

• The TeamCenter development environment will mirror the production environment to enable routine testing and application of patches, etc.

• 1 database server machine, 1 NT for other apps.

• Potentially servering dev, int, and train databases.

One license vs. duals

• Pros: – 1 license to support

• Cons:– 1 license to mess up both production and

development. This is not in line with dsg’s standards and procedures.

– Working with vendor to supply a dev license for free, limiting # of users, but non temporary.

– Dual licenses will allow us to separate out developers and trainers from production.
