Running Teamcenter from remote location

[mmauldin]

I have Teamcenter 2005 SR1/2007 and NX5.0.3.2 running on a Dell M90 laptop. When I travel/work from home I am connected to our network through a VPN. I am on a cable modem at home with a minimum 3mb/s download speed and 1.5 mb/s upload speed.

When I try to connect to Teamcenter I usually receive the following error message:

"Unable to bind to server running on localhost:1572"

After many tries I am occasionally able to connect but then file loading/saving performance is very poor with file saves taking at 5 minutes or more to complete.

Considering my connection speeds, should this performance be considered normal? If not, are there any suggestions as to what we should look for in order to improve performance?

You may want to check with your IT group about the equipment used for the VPN connection. The equipment may be the limiting factor. We have some older equipment that limits the number of VPN connections, forces those connected to share bandwidth, and is pretty slow to begin with. It is ok for checking email and pulling up some pages on the company intranet, but we don't try to use it for file transfers and such.

One thing I have found helps with the "Unable to bind to server running on localhost:1572" error is to load the Teamcenter Binary files and change the iman_root for the laptop to look on your c drive (i.e. IMAN_ROOT=c:\Tceng0913).

I've also found that the speed issue is very hard to resolve. So, I try to only work on piece part files and if I have to load an assembly I load no components and only open the parts I need.
