Procedure
What to do next
- Using OCI or ODBC versions of Verilk: See the Hiding the default user name in Contenta login screens topic.
- If Contenta Server and Contenta Client are installed on the same machine, update the registry before you continue. See the Configuring Contenta Client topic.
- GlobalEd and Arbortext Editor: If you are using Globaled, and PTC Arbortext Editor was installed before you installed/upgraded Contenta, open the _main.acl file with a text editor and remove the lines appended by the Contenta install/ upgrade as noted.
These lines source ACL files that are used exclusively by the Contenta Arbortext tool. The code in these sourced ACL files conflict with ACL used by Globaled.
To configure Arbortext properly for use with GlobalEd in Contenta, open the following file.
Arbortext_home\packages\_main.acl
Remove all lines (that source the EpicEdit*.cmd files) between and including the comments shown below.#XyEnterprise EpicEdit Client Entries. <if....source ...cmd...> #XyEnterprise EpicEdit Client Entries.If you are using the Arbortext tool you cannot have allowTouchup set to no in the .dcf file of any document type that you plan to edit with the Contenta Arbortext tool.
Because allowTouchup is set to no in the .dcf file for this doctype, this document is "read only". To edit documents of this doctype, you must edit the .dcf file setting allowTouchup, changing it to yes.
- After upgrading a Contenta Administration Client workstation, upgrade your Contenta database to the current software revision. See the Upgrading the Contenta Database topic.
- Complete the Contenta Client configuration tasks and verify the installation using procedures in the Configuring Contenta Client topic.
