Installation overview and workflow

The Manufacturing Resource Library (MRL) is a collection of data that you can import into the database. It includes a classification hierarchy for resources such as tools, machines, and fixtures. You use this data in the Classification and Resource Manager applications. In addition, you can access these resources from NX CAM. To do this, you must configure NX Library.

To populate the database with sample Manufacturing Resource Library (MRL) data, make sure that the Teamcenter corporate server is installed on the installation host and the Teamcenter database is configured or upgraded.

To install the Manufacturing Resource Library on a Linux server, you must use a Windows rich client. If you do not have one in your network, you must install one temporarily. After you do this, start the setup program in the Windows software kit.

Alternatively, you can run the following script in a Linux shell:

.../advanced_installations/resource_management/MRL/ImportFiles/mrl_all_modules/

unix_all_modules_import_en.sh

There are general workflows for installing or updating the Manufacturing Resource Library.
