Latency – V9.1
As latency increases, performance seriously degrades
2-tier Rich Client & CAD Mgrs20-40ms is the typical max
3-tier Rich Client 80ms is the typical max, but not supported for CAD Mgrs
3-tier Thin Client200-300ms is supported today, but the thin client only supports a subset of PDM use cases
Business logic must be executed on the web server
Unattractive UI

Latency – Tc 2005
2-tier Tc 2005Basically the same as V9.1
20-40ms for acceptable performance
4-tier Tc 2005As latency increases, performance is affected linearly
Not yet supported for CAD Mgrs

When would you use Multi-Site?
Coordination of Semi-Autonomous Installations
Supplier / OEM integration
High latency WAN networks
Unreliable WAN networks
Proprietary projects (usually one direction only )
Support connection across installations that are running different versions (e.g., Tc V9.1 Tc 2005)

Well, what is “Multi-Site”?

What is Multi-Site Collaboration?
Federated Object Management System
Federation (fed´ e ´rā´ shen) n. – a set of independent sites which are self sufficient, yet cooperate with each other
Each site has its own resources, its own model, its own sets of users and groups, and its own business rules
Business rules consist of access controls, release procedures, change management practices, and other extensions
![Page 19: Teamcenter Multi-Site Review - Fermilab Product Lifecycle ...€¦ · fMulti-Site is based on Item Import/Export and adds... XRemote Search against a directory service XEssentially](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5ed8d4bc6714ca7f4768a5d5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

How Multi-Site Works
Multi-Site is based on Item Import/Export and adds...Remote Search against a directory service
Essentially a “card catalog” that knows where data is hosted, but does not have a copy of the data itself
Note that normal search is against the installation the user is “logged in” to
Automated Import/Export mechanisms supporting a simple “pull action”
Synchronization to propagate updates to replicas Only one installation has the modifiable copy (typically called the owning site) and all replicas are read only

Multi-Site Challenges
It isn’t a replacement for
Where high network latency clients are required
Where transactions are too slow to support “follow-the-sun”
Not a way to improve the scalability characteristics
Potential conflicts when replicating data
e.g. existing ItemID exists in importing site with a different UID
Does not support distributed workflow
Teamcenter Engineering 2005 adds a “remote inbox”, but not a way to connect workflow from one site to another

Multi-Site Best Practices
Item Id Uniqueness across installationsCentral Item ID Generation can be set up to ensure ID uniqueness across multiple sites
Other solutions are based on best practicesReserve blocks of id’s per site and use auto-generation of the Item ID’s
e.g. 100,000 – 200,000 at Installation 1
e.g. 200,001 – 300,000 at Installation 2
Early publication in order to have the ODS ensure Item ID uniqueness

Standard Configurations
Each installation runs in a fairly autonomous fashion
Sharing between installations is on-demand
Each installation must synchronize its replicas
Similar to above except that:
One installation is “more equal”than the others
This is the primary installation that typically updates ERP or interfaces to other legacy downstream applications

Firewall ConsiderationsProxy IDSM
By default, each installation that communicates with another installation uses 3 TCP ports to do so
This is not usually a problem within a company, but can be depending upon network topology
To alleviate this, you can configure a “proxy” IDSM server to so that instead of 3 ports per set of connections, you can have all connections between servers multiplexed on the same 3 ports
Especially useful for Supplier / OEM connections

Synchronization ConsiderationsHub Configuration
By default, an object can only be replicated from its “owning” location; and only the owning location can synchronize its replicas
To alleviate this, customers can configure an installation as a “Hub”
This supports the “store and forward” of replica objects
This is particularly useful for sharing of items with suppliers and partners
Also useful if you don’t wantan installation to have to update its replicas

Teamcenter Engineering 2005FMS for Multi-Site
Leverage the Onion-Networks-based accelerator used by FMS for up to 5X performance compared to FTP for file transfer in Multi-SiteLeverage the caching capability of FMS for direct volume-to-volume file transfer between Teamcenter Engineering 2005 systems via FMS cache
Less file movementLess temporary disk space required
Not a full replacement…Data sharing with pre-V10 systems will continue to retrieve bulk data out of the volume and use current Multi-Site protocol for data transmissionMetadata and POM transmit files will still be transmitted using current Multi-Site protocol
