vTC_COMPONENT is used as the default TeamConnection component for parts

stored in TeamConnection through the bridge. If TC_COMPONENT is not de®ned or is empty, the value root is used.

vTC_RELATIVE is used to specify the initial destination path for ®les retrieved from TeamConnection through the bridge. If TC_RELATIVE is not de®ned or is empty, the current directory according to the image is used.

It is not necessary to de®ne any of these variables for the bridge to work. De®ning them only makes setting up the default bridge con®guration in the image easier for a bridge user.

A system administrator may want to have the environment variables automatically de®ned in a network login script. When a user logs into a LAN and then uses the bridge, the user will be provided with the de®ned values as hints for setting up the default TeamConnection con®guration.

Installing and activating the ENVY/Manager-TeamConnection Bridge

The bridge is loaded into the image like any other con®guration map using theLoad option from the Editions menu of the Con®guration 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.
