Setting up PTC Integrity Lifecycle Manager
Integration for PTC Integrity Lifecycle Manager integrates Modeler with PTC Integrity Lifecycle Manager.
Before you can use Integration for PTC Integrity Lifecycle Manager, consider the following:
• Integrity Lifecycle Manager Client (version 10.5 or higher) must be installed on the same computer as Modeler.
 |
The synchronizer tool currently does not work with multiple installations of Integrity Lifecycle Manager on a single computer.
|
• The Integrity Lifecycle Manager Client and its Integrity Lifecycle Manager Server must both be the same version.
• In the target Integrity Lifecycle Manager system, a user account must be created that has access permissions to modify data. This account will be used when Integration for PTC Integrity Lifecycle Manager accesses and modifies data in Integrity Lifecycle Manager.
|
|
To create or synchronize mappings, the user account must have the ViewAdmin access permission set in Integrity Lifecycle Manager.
|
• Microsoft Office must be installed to synchronize Word, Excel and PowerPoint files that are embedded as OLE objects in rich text properties. For more information see the Property mappings page (Integration for PTC Integrity Lifecycle Manager) topic in the Modeler Help.
Important information for ESET Endpoint Antivirus users:
• The standard configuration of ESET Endpoint Antivirus prevents PTC Synchronizer Administration Tool from starting.
• To resolve this problem, set up ESET Endpoint Antivirus to exclude the loopback IP address (127.0.0.1) from protocol filtering.
• This problem may affect users of other anti-virus software as well.
