NX parts is sometimes failing to open in NX when opened through a double click on the NX dataset in Teamcenter RAC client.This typically fails most frequently when an NX session is already open from Teamcenter then the user goes back to Teamcenter to open, for example, the drawing part of the currently open UGMASTER. In such a case, if the user double clicks again on the NX dataset it often opens as expected.
How to get this to work more consistently?
Solution
Session sharing in Teamcenter were introduced in TC11.4, which allows information about changes in for instance group and role settings to be synchronized between NX and Teamcenter.This functionality were enabled in NX Manager starting with NX12, (with the exception of a few NX12.0.1 MPs).
If you encounter the above described issue in NX12 you can disable session sharing for NX Manager by setting variable UGII_DISABLE_EVENT_SHARING_WITH_RAC=1
In NX 1859 a NX customer default was introduce for this, Teamcenter Integration -> General, General tab, at the bottom, "Synchronize Settings from Teamcenter to NX", so at this point there is no longer any need to use the variable UGII_DISABLE_EVENT_SHARING_WITH_RAC.
By default in NX 1859 this option is disabled.
