v TC_COMPONENT is used as the default TeamConnection component for parts
stored in TeamConnection through the bridge. If TC_COMPONENT is not defined or
is empty, the value root is used.
v TC_RELATIVE is used to specify the initial destination path for files retrieved from
TeamConnection through the bridge. If TC_RELATIVE is not defined or is empty, the
current directory according to the image is used.
It is not necessary to define any of these variables for the bridge to work. Defining them
only makes setting up the default bridge configuration in the image easier for a bridge
user.
A system administrator may want to have the environment variables automatically
defined in a network login script. When a user logs into a LAN and then uses the
bridge, the user will be provided with the defined values as hints for setting up the
default TeamConnection configuration.
Installing and activating the ENVY/Manager-TeamConnection Bridge
The bridge is loaded into the image like any other configuration map using the Load
option from the Editions menu of the Configuration Maps Browser.
Once the bridge is loaded, the submenu TeamConnection Bridge will appear on the
Tools menu of the System Transcript window. This submenu is referred to as the
bridge menu
. The bridge menu is the launching point for all of the bridge operations.
