Installation Instructions

 

This chapter describes the installation method to install the functions:

 

Installing CATIA V5 CAA APIs, DELMIA V5 CAA APIs, ENOVIA VPLM CAA APIs

Delivery Contents

CATIA V5 CAA APIs, DELMIA V5 CAA APIs and ENOVIA VPLM CAA APIs media contain all deliveries necessary to install all available APIs.

If you use a CAA vendor-written application, the CATIA V5 CAA APIs, DELMIA V5 CAA APIs or ENOVIA VPLM CAA APIs level must be at the same level as the applicable CATIA V5 , DELMIA V5 or ENOVIA VPLM level installed. In addition, the CAA vendor must supply the application rebuilt on that level.

Overview

Installation of CATIA V5 CAA APIs, DELMIA V5 CAA APIs, ENOVIA VPLM CAA APIs can be divided into three main steps:

  1. Managing the installation path. On Windows, the path is automatically computed, on UNIX you should prompt the CATIA, DELMIA, or ENOVIA VPLM installation path
  2. Checking on the available disk space
  3. Downloading the software.

Windows

  1. Log on as an administrator.
    You must belong to the administrator group, or have the privileges assigned to the Administrator group. Otherwise, you will not be able to start the installation.
  2. Insert the CD-ROM into the drive.
    The installation procedure starts automatically. A full self-explanatory graphic interface appears, where you can easily navigate.

Remark:

The CAA CD APIs contain build time data for both windows 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. Those CDs can be installed on 32-bit and 64-bit runtime installations.

UNIX

  1. Logging on as an administrator is mandatory.
  2. Insert the CD-ROM into the drive.

Remark:

To build AIX 64-bit CAA applications on top of AIX 64-bit CATIA, DELMIA, or ENOVIA DMU runtime, the standard CAA UNIX CD must now be used.

Accessing the CAA Online Documentation

The CAA online documentation, also named CAA Encyclopedia, is installed with the CAA APIs. You can access it with an HTML browser at the following addresses:

<CATIA, DELMIA, or ENOVIA CAA APIs installation path>/CAAV5HomePage.htm

or

<CATIA, DELMIA, or ENOVIA CAA APIs installation path>/CAADoc/Doc/online/CAACenV5Default.htm

Please refer to the CAA Encyclopedia for information on deprecated APIs.

Interoperability Considerations

Please refer to the homepage.htm file on the CD-ROM.

 

Installing CAA RADE V5

Delivery contents

CAA RADE V5 medium contains all deliveries necessary to install all available products and options.

Overview

CAA RADE V5 installation can be divided into three main steps:

  1. Choosing the installation path
  2. Checking on the available disk space
  3. Downloading the software

Windows

Remark:

RADE exists in a 32-bit version only. When developing on a 64-bit machine, since 32-bit and 64-bit run times must be installed in different locations, install RADE in another place than CATIA, DELMIA or ENOVIA VPLM 64-bit run time installation.

UNIX

  1. Logging on as an administrator is mandatory
  2. Insert the CD-ROM into the drive.

    After mounting the CD-ROM, change directory to the mount point and enter the command: ./start
    The installation procedure starts automatically. A full self-explanatory graphic interface appears, where you can easily navigate.

    The installation procedure is described in the CAA Encyclopedia installed with the CAA APIs CD-ROM. To find this procedure documentation, from the CAA Encyclopedia home page, click Getting Started, and click Installing CAA RADE V5 Products. To initialize the TCK which defines the tool configuration you can use, refer to the Tools documentation in the CAA Encyclopedia. From the home page, click Tools at the bottom right corner, then click TCK Tool Config, and click Introducing TCK.

Licensing Considerations

The IBM License Use Management (LUM) software for managing nodelocked licenses is integrated into the CAA RADE V5 software. If you need to install the complete LUM package, and if you want to set up a network license server, you can install the rest of the product from the LUM CD-ROM accompanying the software to avoid having to download the software over the Internet. Additional information about LUM may be found at: http://www.software.ibm.com/is/lum

Refer to the Memo to Users for instructions on obtaining keys for CAA RADE V5.

Interoperability Considerations

Please refer to the homepage.htm file on the CD-ROM.

NLS Considerations

CAA RADE V5 is NLS-enabled. It is supplied with the English and French localizations.

CAA RADE V5 supports DBCS.
