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.
 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.
 More difficult to administer and control in large installations.

 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.
Windows Installation Tips and Techniques for CCD & CATIA V5 2000100414
LICENSING
 LICENSING CCD V5
 LUM V4.5.5 or above is required, but LUM 458 is recommended.
 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.
DASSAULT SYSTEMES Information for Users Forum
© 1997 – 2000 DASSAULT SYSTEMES
 A valid CATIA V5 Configuration (DR1, MD1, ME2, etc.) must be
installed to run CCD V5.

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?
 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.

Windows Installation Tips and Techniques for CCD & CATIA V5 2000100420
MIGRATION PLAN
 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.)
 IMPORTANT: CCD (UNIX and Windows) releases should be the same.

 PCNFS (Warning: Unlike UNIX, Windows is not case sensitive)
Windows Installation Tips and Techniques for CCD & CATIA V5 2000100421
MIGRATION PLAN
 CCD data exchange options on Windows (con’t)
 External File Translator (EFT)
 AutoCAD DXF and DWG format support.
 AutoCAD releases 11 - 14 are supported.
 Some model touch-up may be required.
 Best method of transferring data from CADAM-like systems (other than Helix) into CCD.
 Almost 100% translation in most cases.
DASSAULT SYSTEMES Information for Users Forum
© 1997 – 2000 DASSAULT SYSTEMES
 NURESTOR files can be imported/exported using the CCD Data
Transfer option on Windows.
Windows Installation Tips and Techniques for CCD & CATIA V5 2000100422
MIGRATION PLAN
 CCD data exchange options on Windows (con’t)
 Helix Migration Package (mcxtranv4)
The recommended method if migrating from MICRO CADAM or Helix to CCD.
Available from www.cadam.com.
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!

MIGRATION PLAN
 UNIX CADPROF SETTINGS
 Document all current settings. The same settings can be used in
the CCD Cadprof utility on Windows. If migrating from Helix,
refer to the Helix Defaults to Cadprof Mapping document in the
Helix Migration Package.
 Use it as a guideline to help you design user database access
permissions on Windows NT, once the migration is completed.

MIGRATION PLAN
 CADAM Drawing Database Migration
 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.
DASSAULT SYSTEMES Information for Users Forum
© 1997 – 2000 DASSAULT SYSTEMES
 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.
Windows Installation Tips and Techniques for CCD & CATIA V5 2000100425
MIGRATION PLAN
 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.
 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.
DASSAULT SYSTEMES Information for Users Forum
© 1997 – 2000 DASSAULT SYSTEMES
 FAT32 File Systems are supported, but NTFS is recommended.
Windows Installation Tips and Techniques for CCD & CATIA V5 2000100426
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
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.

MIGRATION PLAN
 CADAM Drawing Database Migration to Windows (con’t)
 From Helix
 Symbol and Font Tables:
 BULKXFER, included with the Helix Migration Package, automatically transfers all the
symbol and font tables from Helix (sys,symbol) to CCD.
 Plot Formats
 BULKXFER transfers all the format models in (sys,format) and appends the new

MIGRATION PLAN
 CADAM Drawing Database Migration (con’t)
 From PROFESSIONAL CADAM on UNIX (or IBM’s old RT)
 Run db_update to change the model naming convention from the C_ /C_/C_xxx to the
newer D_xxx
 Run mdlupd UNIX IUE utility to update and rename models to the new CCD convention:
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:
UCS-2_NAME-8859.map
(maps to WIN)
(maps from WIN)
Note: ICF, MCXTRAN and Data Transfer use these tables (not PCNFS).

MIGRATION PLAN
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.
 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\subdirectory, 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.
 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
