45 System Administration of Windchill 10.2 Overview Course Code Course Length TRN-4340-T 3 Days In this course, you will gain an understanding of how to perform routine Windchill system administration tasks, including how to manage Windchill services and optimize Windchill components for performance. You will focus on daily, weekly, and monthly system maintenance tasks required by the Windchill system administrators. You will also learn how to install and configure Windchill system components and how to implement file vaulting and content replication. Other topics that will be reviewed include managing an Oracle database, troubleshooting background queues, controlling system backup procedures, and setting up the client environment. At the end of each module, you will complete a set of review questions to reinforce critical topics from that module. At the end of the course, you will complete a course assessment in Pro/FICIENCY intended to evaluate your understanding of the course as a whole. Note: Due to the subject matter of this class, simulated software is used for Windchill installation to provide an accurate, effective, and efficient training experience that could not otherwise be duplicated in a standard classroom environment. Course Objectives Understand Windchill architecture Install and configure Windchill solutions Start and stop Windchill components Manage Windchill configuration properties Implement file vaulting and content replication Tune Windchill components for performance Tune Windchill workflows for performance Manage background queues Manage Oracle database Manage system backups Manage Windchill system logs and alerts Monitor daily, weekly, and monthly administration tasks Configure browser and JAVA settings for clients
