    Process PW dgn file silently

    ttl
    ttl over 12 years ago

    Hi,

    Is it possible to use a dos command to run MicroStation V8i SS1 batch process on a DGN file in PW using Single Sign On?  I mean automated thing without user intervention.

    TIA

      It is possible to write a PW API program that would login SSO, then check out a file or files, then run a process on each file, then check them back in and log out.

      Sure. The APIs from aaapi.h and aadmsapi.h are non-GUI, and can be used to write console or batch applications that interact with ProjectWise.  On the other hand, we ship the Orchestration Framework with the product, which already supports everything you need, and will be more scalable, as well as providing a certain level of fault tolerance and retry capability.

      I have never used Orchestration Framework to process document files, outside of the predefined uses.  Where would I find the documentation?

      I'm interested in this as well. Hadn't ever thought of this.

      Michael,  Any examples/further illustrations as to how to run in command prompt or Orchestration Framework?  So far I can only do it if and only if MicroStation app is itself running to launch the vba console and run PW API's, how do I do it  with MSTN app running in background/Windows scheduled tasks to process a PW file?
