Support of new Siemens software versions after update of BCT installation

What has to be done if the support of a new Siemens software version was added in an update of a BCT software product?

If a new Siemens software version is supported during the update installation of a BCT software product, the necessary files for this version will be automatically copied into the %BCT_EOMS_DIR%. It does not matter whether the option "Copy binaries for all versions" was activated or not during the new installation of the BCT software.

To use the BCT software with the new Siemens software version, it is important to manually adjust the version specific parameters in the required BCT start scripts. This step is necessary to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.

In addition to the installation paths of the Siemens software, it is important to modify or check the following environment variables:

  • Teamcenter:
    •  BCT_TC_VERSION
    • BCT_TC_PLATFORM
  • Solid Edge:
    • BCT_SE_VERSION
    • BCT_PLATFORM
  • NX:
    • For Siemens NX only the installation paths need to be set.
