Error description

  • Consider the following installation of the V6.
    Client
    ???   Windows 7
    ???   CATIA V6 R2010x GA
    Server
    Operating system
    ???   SuSE Linux 10 SP2 (64 bits)
    Database
    ???   Oracle 11.1.0.6
    ???   ENOVIA V6 2010x
    Scenario
    1.  In CATIA V6, click Tools / Macro / Macros???
    2.  Click on Macro Libraries???
    3.  In the Library type pull-down list, select PLM VBA
    Projects
    4.  Click Create new library???
    5.  Type in a name for the new macro library (SR Test for
    example)
    6.  Click Finish
         The following error message appears: note that no system
    reserved characters were typed-in for the name.
    7.  Click OK
        a second error message appears .
    the V6 installation is  a clean installation. It???s the ONLY
    CATIA level and the problem only occurs with VBA libraries.
    Consider  the following bypass  operation
    1) clean of setting
    2) clean of DS cache
    3) run intallation_path/../CNEXT :REGSERVER
    The bypass  work in a singular instance, it does NOT work for
    a production scenario where thousands of machines will have
    V6R2010x installed therefore the CUST needs this bypass to be
    incorporated into a FP that can be distributed across the
    network/globe etc.
    The customer has provide following value of the ??

Problem conclusion

  • THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN I-PLM Collaborative
    Innovation
    Additional Closure Information:
    Two different versions cannot coexist on the same computer
    So we suggest to do a cnext /regserver with admin rigth
    before each change of version
