Columns

Column NameDescription
NameThe name of the tool suite.
RevisionThe revision level for the tool suite.

If the tool suite type is DesignSync, the revision value must match the version number of the installed DesignSync system, such as 3DEXPERIENCE R2015x.

Tool Suite TypeDesignSync or Other.

A development needs at least one tool suite with the DesignSync type defined, and every development assignment must have a tool suite that includes a DesignSync type.

StateThe current lifecycle state of the suite: Active or Inactive.
DescriptionDescriptive text about the purpose of the tool suite.
OrganizationsThe name of the organization that owns the tools in the tool suite.
PlatformThe platform that the tools in the suite run on:
  • All
  • UNIX
  • Windows

Your system might also show specific versions of operating systems, such as solaris_a64 and solaris_b64.

Install PathThe path name to the tools on the platform.

For DesignSync type tool suites, this value sets SYNC_DIR for the development areas that use this tool suite.

ScriptThe path to scripts that run before the tool is started to set the environment for this tool suite. The value can include environment variables.

See the Enterprise DesignSync Administration guide for more information about scripts.

Program GroupIf the platform is All or Windows, the Program Group for this tool suite.
Starting DirectoryThe relative path to the development area directory to set as the current working directory (cwd) for the tool when it starts. The starting directory for a specific design tool can override this starting directory. Users can specify a different starting directory when they connect to their development area.
