CATIA Solutions medium contains all deliveries necessary to install all available products and options. As you probably have not ordered all products or wish to install all options, you will be required to select the deliveries during installation; make sure before beginning installation that you have a list of your ordered products.
CATIA Solutions installation procedures are based on a Graphical User Interface (GUI). To access this GUI you have to unload it before installing CATIA Solutions, after logging under root userid, you have to mount your CD-ROM drive (by using SAM utility)
Then go to the the / directory and type the command /cdrom/START to start the CATIA installation (where /cdrom is the directory where the cdrom drive is mounted).
Refer to "Activating CATIA Solutions" for more information.When installing the service pack, the operation may fail with error code WFIS00014 and Memory fault (core dump) because of the number of fixes made available to the user over time, during the evolution of CATIA Version 4 Release 2.5.
The solution is as follows:
The installation procedure takes into account the language you want to use.
When creating the administrator environment your are prompted to select the language you want.
All CATIA and Motif resources are created or referenced according to this language.
This is done by the inilang shell run by the installation procedure.
You can then update the administrator environment for another
language.
This is done by the addlang shell you must run yourself.
It is not advised to use telnet to create/update administrator
environments
and to launch the addlang shell
from a remote machine if you use a LANG value associated with
a DBCS code page (ja_JP.SJIS, ko_KR.eucKR, zh_CN.hp15CN).
As of CATIA Version 5, the FONTDATA format will no longer be
supported. Consequently, if you have user FONTDATAs, you must convert
them to FONT and FONT CODE so that you will be able to use them in
V5. This migration must be done in V4 using the CATFONT utility.
V5 does not offer this migration tool.
The PROJECT file used by CATIA must be labelled to the
current code page used.
This is automatically performed if you install your PROJECT
file using the "Additional Features".
If you want to use an existing PRJ encoded with a code page
different from your current code page,
run CATAIX against it using the
keyword TO followed by the current code page.
Until 417 level, Motif resource files
such catia.font and catia.table
set in $XAPPLRESDIR
($CAT_CUST/adm/xcfg by default) and
$XAPPLRESDIR/$LANG directories, were depending on platform.
In order to simplify customer environment, an evolution has been
performed:
Until 417 level, GII OPT Motif did not support font concatenation in
Motif resource file. An evolution has been performed, in particular
for DBCS languages for which sometimes we need to concatenate sbcs
and dbcs Motif fonts.
If you customize the CATIA.Assembly Modeling
resource file in order to translate
menu items, you have to modify your
$HOME/.Xdefaults file in order to
refer to the appropriate Motif fonts and then correctly display the
translated texts:
If you use the Tools/Quick Text (DR) item or the
/quitxt command for Drafting DBCS Annotation creation or
modification you have to declare appropriate Motif fonts in order to
allow national character input in the Motif editor window.
The way to do this, is the following:
in your $HOME directory create a file named Dialog and containing
the following lines :
Euro character is supported as an Engineering Symbol, and as such
follows the general rules applying to Engineering Symbols. A thirteenth
engineering symbol has been introduced and is supported in the CATIA
fonts which already support the other engineering symbols, and in the
Motif CATIA environment files which already support the other
engineering symbols.
As engineering symbol, the euro character input is managed through
the key combination : Ctrl+Alt+F.
In order to prevent UNIX end-user using characters not available for NT
platform supported with CATIA V5 product line, a new value for the
CATIA.CHARACTER_RANGE_FOR_MEMBER_NAME parameter has been introduced :
NT_COMPATIBILITY.
This value induces the same behaviour as the
UNIX_COMPATIBILITY_EXCEPTED_CTRL value with the following differences :
WARNING
The default allocation size for models in CATIA.Assembly Modeling
workbench ('catasm'
or Tools/Assembly'... commands) can be tuned.
RECOMMENDATION
Tuning can be achieved setting
the CATIA_MODEL_EXTEND_ALLOC_KBYTES
environment variable,
USERS AFFECTED
Users of the Assembly workbench capabilities.
PRODUCT AFFECTED
CATIA.Assembly Modeling
WARNING
The management of .asm files generation from CATIA session
has been improved.
RECOMMENDATION
The generation of Assembly files from CATIA session searches
within the Search Order a file .asm
matching exactly each model,
and re-uses it if it is found.
USERS AFFECTED
Users of the Assembly workbench capabilities.
PRODUCT AFFECTED
CATIA.Assembly Modeling
IBM LUM server 4.6.8 is required if you wish to use network licenses.
Please refer to Licensing dedicated page.
Note: When installing the CDROM using the START command you will be prompted to name the directory into which the CATIA software will be loaded. The directory name should end with /unload.
NLS considerations
WARNING
Before creating the administrator environment,
check that you have at least a 'COM' license available.
This step uses CATFONT to create CATIA fonts indexed by the
value of the LANG
environment variable and the CATFONT
execution requests a 'COM' license.

NLS Motif Resource Files and Multi-Platform Environment
This evolution implies that character size modification functionality
is not supported in this mode, this behaviour is the same as the
behaviour provided by the HMKMOT routine.
Motif fonts for CATIA.Assembly Modeling application in DBCS environment
edit the file and add the following line:
CNEXT*fontList : catia.font.japan.sbcs;catia.font.japan.dbcs:
with this line, Assembly application will use the Motif fonts referred
by other CATIA interactive applications.
(The fonts.alias mechanism
described previously allow you to have a common declaration for all
UNIX platform.)
