INSTALLATION
Code-serving versus installing on each client Code-serving advantages:
Since the code is only installed on one system, code updates and administration is centralized, therefore simpler.
Ensures that everyone is running the same level of code.
Recommended if network speeds are acceptable when invoking CCD or CATIA.
Code-serving disadvantages:
If the code-serving machine goes down, everyone is down.
On slow networks, for example, starting CCD (~10 Mb) or CATIA DR1 (~13 Mb) or CATIA MD2 (~67 Mb) can take some time.

INSTALLATION
Code-serving versus installing on each client (con’t) Client installation advantages:
Improves application startup time. Specifically on Wide Area Networks (WAN).
The user or administrator can run a local, customized version of CCD or CATIA.
If the workstation uses a nodelocked license, the user can continue to run locally, even if the database server is inaccessible.
Client installation disadvantages:
More difficult to administer and control in large installations.

LICENSING
LICENSING CCD
Only IBM’s License Use Management (LUM) is supported. The current version is 458.
NT 4.0, Windows 2000 or UNIX (AIX, HP-UX, IRIX or Solaris) can be a license server
You must install LUM on the server and at least on one client.
After installing LUM on one client, move the Winnt\i4ls.ini file to all other clients.
Install the new ccdnls.dll with static binding support on all CCD clients. This dll is available from DSA’s FTP Site.
LUM is free for all platforms and can be downloaded from:
http://www-4.ibm.com/software/is/lum/v4.5.html

LICENSING
LICENSING CCD V5 LUM V4.5.5 or above is required, but LUM 458 is recommended.
A valid CATIA V5 Configuration (DR1, MD1, ME2, etc.) must be installed to run CCD V5.
IBM generates two license certificates: One for CATIA V5 and the other for CCD, even though CCD is an add-on product. Ask for product number 5691-CCD.
CCD V5R5 comes with a 45 day full-function trial license.

LICENSING CCD V5 (con’t)
CCD V4 HRAS (Hybrid Raster) and CADEX can be used with CCD V5, but both require a V4 license.
IUE and MCX are now included with Base CCD V5, therefore a separate license for these products is not required. The Markup and Annotation product is no longer available in V5.

PLOTTING
Buffer plotting can be done by using the new (Window TPD) button on Plot Current.
You can also use the Windows screen capture tools or CCD’s clipboard feature.
Windows Print Driver Support If you can print to a printer/plotter from Windows, then CCD
should also be able to plot to it. Just select Windows Printer as the default plotter from CCD’s Plotter Setup menu.
Only the plotopts file is customizable.

MIGRATION PLAN
Backup all data before any changes are made! Archive MF CADAM models in NURESTOR format. Helix models
should be archived in either DMNDOS or OS File (.MCD) format. Don’t forget the symbols, fonts, and formats (Helix models).
It’s a good idea to store these files on CD-ROM.
What CADAM Tables need to be migrated? Symbols, Fonts, Special Characters, Plot Formats
Plotting What plotters and plot options will be used?
If migrating from UNIX, save all the plotscripts. It will help you when configuring plotting on Windows.

CCD Data exchange options on Windows Access to MF CADAM’s database
ICF is the only interactive option on NT to access the MF CADAM database.
Starting with MVS OS390 V2.5, ICF will not work from Windows or UNIX to MF CADAM. A special MVS IUCV fix is available from DSA to resolve this problem.
Access to CCD UNIX database ICF (user is confined to the UNIX CADAM database, but can file to Windows. Must also
file locally to plot the model accessed on remote systems.)
PCNFS (Warning: Unlike UNIX, Windows is not case sensitive)
IMPORTANT: CCD (UNIX and Windows) releases should be the same.

Best translation method. Results are near 100%.
Unlike NURESTOR format, mcxtranv4 has no limitations such as model size or other imposed restrictions by the older NURESTOR Mainframe CADAM format. What you see in Helix is what you’ll see in CCD!

CADAM Drawing Database Migration
Drawing database can reside on any disk drive that Windows can access. No more (group,user) directory structure required. This is similar to Helix’s OS File Format.
System directory (symbol, font, format, stdnote) can also reside anywhere, but you must define its location with cadprof. Default is CCD_ROOT\Drawings\System directory.

Decide where the CADAM database will reside On Windows or UNIX.
CADAM’s (group,user) database structure can be duplicated with directories/subdirectories on Windows.
FAT32 File Systems are supported, but NTFS is recommended.
Windows Security: directories and file access permissions
NTFS formatted disk or partition is required.
Use the Administration Utilities to set file access permissions on production release or shared directories, files, etc.

MIGRATION PLAN
CADAM Drawing Database Migration to Windows From Mainframe CADAM
The Data Transfer utility of either Professional CADAM or CATIA-CADAM Drafting on UNIX is required to transfer the symbol and font tables.
Symbol and Font Tables:
Use the original FT05F001 index file used to create the tables on the mainframe.
If not available the index file can be created on the UNIX workstation.
For font tables you should also locate the mainframe font spacing table FT08F001, but it is not required -- the default will work.
Plot Format tables (not a manual step anymore!):
As of CCD V423PTF1 and CCD V5R4 SP1, plot format tables are now synchronized automatically on on all supported platforms. Some configuration required.
For Mainframe CADAM it is still a manual process if there is no TCP/IP connection to the mainframe.

newer D_xxx
Run mdlupd UNIX IUE utility to update and rename models to the new CCD convention:
» Rename all models from D_xxx to xxx.cdd (note that is .cdd not .ccd)
» Optionally opens and files all models (required if migrating from RT-CADAM
and recommended for early versions of PRO CADAM pre-V3R5).

Special characters in the model name Since MF CADAM, PROFESSIONAL CADAM, CCD-UNIX and Helix
use their own data manager, special characters such as: * \ ?, could be used in the model name. These characters cannot be used in a Windows file name.
Use the mapping tables under the CCD_ROOT\PROFILE\convert\tables directory to map the special characters to a valid character on Windows:
For English: NAME-8859_UCS-2.map (maps to WIN)
UCS-2_NAME-8859.map (maps from WIN)
Note: ICF, MCXTRAN and Data Transfer use these tables (not PCNFS).

SPECIAL CHARACTERS: MF OR UNIX TO WINDOWS CCD uses the Unicode Standard character set
User-defined special characters on UNIX (PRO CADAM or CCD) and MF CADAM need to be recreated on Windows.
Use CCD’s fontutil (located under CCD_ROOT\gphigs) to create the new characters.
New characters must be defined in the Unicode User Define area E800-EFFF. This area allows for 1,792 new characters to be defined.
Use the cadspec utility to add the new characters to the Special Character Window.
Professional CADAM versions prior to V3R5 did not support the Unicode Standard, therefore in addition to the above steps you need to:
Modify the character mapping table corresponding to the language locale being used. The mapping tables are located under the CCD_ROOT\profile\convert\tables directory.

REF-ENT IS AN EXCEPTION TO THE RULE Reference Entity models must reside in a directory\sub-
directory, with a name that must match the name of the group,user where the original reference entity model was located on UNIX or MF.
In addition, these directories must reside under the CCD_ROOT\Drawings directory defined in cadprof.
For example, on MF or UNIX The model eng-dwg-3 in eng,bob references the model ref3 located in eng,ref
On Windows The model eng-dwg-3 can be anywhere, but the model ref3 must be located under the
CCD_ROOT\Drawings\eng\ref\ directory.
Note: If a model is created on Windows, the reference entity must reside in the same directory

more than four between releases.
Available only from www.cadam.com, under Software Downloads
TRAINING Since Helix and CCD are so similar, training may not be
necessary. The minor differences can be covered in a few hours.
Current MF or UNIX CADAM users may need help using CCD’s new Windows user interface.
Schedule training to immediately follow the installation.
Take a Windows NT or Windows 2000 Administration class.
