Batch monitoring using WebSphere(R) MQ (WMQ) (formerly MQSeries(R)): Using WMQ communication tools, some batch operations can be launched remotely. When implemented at the batch level, this optional feature requires WMQ at minimum level 6.0. For availability of client and server components on supported platforms, click here WMQ Client is required on systems where the transaction is initiated. WMQ Server is required on systems where remote batches are executed. CATIA V5 general packaging principles: - A CATIA P1 product or a CATIA P1 configuration requires or must include (in the case of configurations) CATIA - Object Manager 1 (CO1). P1 products can be used on P2 or P3, and in such cases, they operate with CATIA - Object Manager 2 (COM) or CATIA - Object Manager 3 (CO3), respectively.
- A CATIA P2 product or a CATIA P2 configuration requires, or must include (in the case of configurations), CATIA - Object Manager 2 (COM). P2 products can be used on P3, and in such cases, they operate with CATIA - Object Manager 3 (CO3).
- CATIA - COM 1 to 2 Extension (5693-C12) allows all P2 products to be added on to P1 configurations. The C12 product effectively upgrades the P1 infrastructure (CO1) to the P2 infrastructure (COM). The C12 product does not change the underlying P1 configuration; included products remain P1. The C12 product can be used as a shareable (5691-C12) or add-on (5693-C12) product.
- A CATIA P3 product or a CATIA P3 configuration requires or must include (in the case of configurations) CATIA - Object Manager 3 (CO3). P1, P2, and P3 shareable and add-on products are available to P3 configurations as shareable or add-on products.
- License keys for CATIA configurations are acquired and released for the total configuration.
- The functions within a configuration cannot be shared.
- A configuration is required for each CATIA V5 seat.
- CATIA V5 add-on (AOP) and sharable products may require prerequisite products that are not included in a standard purchased configuration. When a prerequisite product is not included in the selected standard configuration, both the AOP and its prerequisite products must be purchased and included as AOPs within a custom configuration. Prerequisites for shareable products can be satisfied by a standard configuration, by an AOP within a custom configuration, or by a shareable product.
- CATIA - V4 Integration 2 (V4I) is included in all P2 and P3 configurations, and CATIA - V4 Integration 1 (V41) is included in all P1 configurations.
