Hello Friends

While working on Team center Engineering 2007, I notice one beautiful thing and that is to change your role in the run Time environment. That is to say if user is having multiple context (e.g. Designer & Admin) then in TCE he can change his role without exiting the TCE session. Is it possible in ENOVIA because while working on ENOVIA, i didnt find any such option. If anybody know about it then please let me know.

Best Regards

Dear Milind,

Nice to know about the TC functionality as I have never come accross the TC PLM/PDM.
Well, In Enovia we have the functionality of using multiple context at one time. Following are the steps:

1. Start the Environment Editor, edit the current server environment, add the following variable:
ENOVIA_SECURITY_XROLE and set the value to YES. Then save and exit the environment.

2. Log onto an LCA session with user say "BPV" using either context C1 or C2. Logging in using either context is sufficient.
This time, user BPV will having privileges the sum of all the privileges granted by these contexts C1 & C2.

3. Only thing which can be said as a shortcoming will be the contexts to be used (C1 & C2 as in our example) have to be created & assigned privileges before user BPV logs on to the session using either of the context. You cannot get the effect of change of privileges to C1 or C2 while user BPV is using a session, for this you need to restart the session. Can you please let me know if this is available in TCE ? Can we modify and use the privileges or assign & use new context for a user without restarting the session in TCE?

Thanks
