Before Diving into the demonstration, take a moment to review some essential information.
When the Teamcenter Command Prompt opens, 3 calls are made.
TC_ROOT - This is an installation directory for Teamcenter. The TC_BIN directory contains many of the Teamcenter Utilities that can be run in various use cases.
TC_DATA - This is the data model directory for Teamcenter. Typically, there is only 1 of these for a Teamcenter site. This is typically installed where the Corporate Server is installed.
TC_DATA\tc_profilevars - this file (.bat in Win.) contains all of the Teamcenter Environment Variables for the Teamcenter Environment to run. This file should be source controlled.
Tip. Enter set tc after opening the Teamcenter Command Prompt to print all TC_ environment variables and validate the process ran.
