1. ENOVIA Connector

1.1. Do I need to restart the TIF server after changing a file below ${TIF_ROOT}/modules/enovia/cfg?

NO. The ENOVIA Connector is built upon the TVC Core framework and utilizes the XML configuration caches and framework from there. If you configure TVC to run in DEVELOPMENT mode your configuration files will be reloaded if they are changed, e.g. the internal caches will track the modified timestamp on the files to detect if they are changed or not.

To configure the TVC production mode setting, please take a look at the instructions within the file ${TIF_ROOT}/modules/enovia/etc/tvc.properties.

2. Troubleshooting

2.1. NoClassDefFoundError: org/slf4j/ext/XLoggerFactory

As of version 2019.2.0, the slf4j-ext library is bundled with TIF.

If you encounter errors like below in the logs, you need to add the SLF4J-EXT JAR file into TIF. The reason is that some 3DExperience/ENOVIA triggers may use this XLoggerFactory.

Error: #1900068: add business object failed
System Error: #5000001: System Error: #5000001: java.lang.Exception: Error: #1900068: modify business object failed
System Error: #5000001: System Error: #5000001: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/slf4j/ext/XLoggerFactory
]

You need to include the slf4j-ext.jar file into the folder ${TIF_ROOT}/lib/custom. The dependency to search for have the following group/artifact IDs:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>slf4j-ext</artifactId>
</dependency>

2.2. bad argument for IP_MULTICAST_IF: address not bound to any interface

If you see the error message "java.lang.RuntimeException: bad argument for IP_MULTICAST_IF: address not bound to any interface" upon startup, you can try adding the following Java parameter to the TIF start script

-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
