GM Launch is the GM approved application to start NX or TcAE. It sets up the environment that is needed by GM for their customizations. Though the DSL integrates the GM programs into Delphi's customizations, it is necessary to be able to start NX with GM's environment. This document specifies how a site can configure GM Launch for use.

NOTE: GM Launch is a Java application and requires Java 1.X.Y or higher to be installed on the client. |
Follow these steps to setup GM Launch for use:
Use this table to determine what to modify in the local gmlaunch.dat file. The modifications are isolated to the WINDOWS_GLOBAL and UNIX_GLOBAL sections of the file. The WINDOWS_STANZA and UNIX_STANZA sections should not need any changes.
| Section | Variable | Value to set to |
|---|---|---|
| WINDOWS_GLOBAL | DSL_BASE_DIR | The location of the base DSL installation (ex. C:\Program Files\nxdslX.y) |
| IMAN_ROOT | The location of the GM's TcAE X.Y installation | |
| GMPDM_ROOT | Make sure this points to GM's TcAE customizations | |
| UGII_BASE_DIR | Set to the NX install location(Must use short path - path with ~) | |
| UGII_PLOT_NODE | (Optional) Set to local plot server for plotting | |
| GMIMAN_DATA_DIR | Set to directory where GM's imandata directories are installed | |
| The above variables use the Windows path format(c:\some\dir) and windows environment variable format(%ENV_VAR%). | ||
| UNIX_GLOBAL | WEB_BROWSER_EXE | Set to a web browser start script |
| DSL_BASE_DIR | The location of the base DSL installation (ex. /appl/nxdslX.y) | |
| IMAN_ROOT | The location of the GM's TcAE X.Y installation | |
| GMPDM_ROOT | Make sure this points to GM's TcAE customizations | |
| UGII_BASE_DIR | Set to the NX install location | |
| UGII_PLOT_NODE | (Optional) Set to local plot server for plotting | |
| GMIMAN_DATA_DIR | Set to directory where GM's imandata directories are installed | |
|
The above variables use the UNIX path format(/some/dir) and windows environment variable format($ENV_VAR or ${ENV_VAR}). |

Simply use the DSL menu to run the GM Launch application. The valid applications should appear in the list. This should include the following:
The application names will probably appear differently, but should be simliar. Four TeamCenter databases and native NX should be in the list.
