- Find the app log files
  This procedure shows how to find the NX PCB Exchange Connect log files.
- How to find the app version numbers
  NX PCB Exchange Connect has multiple components—services and the web app—that have different version numbers. Sometimes you need to know these versions for update instructions.
- Deploy a shared table display
  Deploy a shared table display to provide a standardized view of PCB design data for your organization.
- User license management
  In NX PCB Exchange Connect, named user license management is done through an administrative command-line interface (CLI) executable, which lets you view current license assignments, and assign or remove a user license.
- Updating NX PCB Exchange Connect
  This guide includes steps to update both the NX PCB Exchange Connect services and web application to a newer version.
- Configure Teamcenter server to integrate with the app
  When the NX PCB Exchange Connect services are configured to use the Teamcenter Security Services (TCSS) for authentication, a few configuration steps must be performed on the Teamcenter server to complete the integration.
Settings
The settings options let you edit the application preferences and customize its various aspects, such as the display.

Deploy a shared table display

Deploy a shared table display to provide a standardized view of PCB design data for your organization.

Verify that the PcbApi_UI__PcbxConnect__Config environment variable is set to the user interface (UI) configuration folder, for example C:\pcbExchangeCloud\services\UI\pcbxConnect, following the instructions in Modify app environment variables.
Ensure that you have the write permission for the UI configuration folder.
Obtain the exported grid-headers-table name-grid.json file using the Export Grid Configuration command in an interactive table.

Note:

Do not rename the exported JSON file. NX PCB Exchange Connect uses the original filename to associate the display with the corresponding interactive table.

Copy the exported JSON file to the UI configuration folder on the server hosting the API, for example C:\pcbExchangeCloud\services\UI\pcbxConnect.
Verify that the deployed configuration is valid by checking the UI Configuration health check on the API health monitoring pages of the PcbExchange Services website.
Clear the browser cache to ensure that the application retrieves the new shared table display.
If personalized table displays already exist for the interactive tables in the application, clear the browser cache and reset the table display by selecting Reset Columns from the column menu.
