    Environment variables set by rendition service for character substitution

       
      Applies To 
       
      Product(s): Bentley i-Model Composition Server for PDF (iCS)
      Version(s): 08.11.11.449

    Note: This Wiki also applies to ProjectWise Dynamic Composition Server for PDF (DCS).

    Background

    When creating renditions, the InterPlot processor defines a number of ProjectWise properties in the IPS plot properties that can be used for design script text substitution.  They will not appear as operating system environment variables in either the iplotorg.exe or ustation.exe processes.

    Steps to Accomplish

    For example, the following logic in a design script will substitute the name of the ProjectWise Explorer submitting user or the PW login name persisted in a stored job, or if not defined, the Windows user name.

    if (characters == "$USER") then

       envr_var = "RENDSVC_USERNAME"

       characters = envr_value

    endif 

    Below is a list of available variables (note that in DCS, these variables start with "DCS_"  and in iCS, they start with "RENDSVC_".)

    RENDSVC_JOBNAME

    RENDSVC_DATASOURCE

    RENDSVC_USERNAME

    RENDSVC_USERDESC

    RENDSVC_USEREMAIL

    RENDSVC_DOCID

    RENDSVC_DOCNAME

    RENDSVC_DOCFILENAME

    RENDSVC_DOCDESC

    RENDSVC_DOCVERSION

    RENDSVC_DOCCREATOR

    RENDSVC_DOCUPDATER

    RENDSVC_DOCFILEUPDATER

    RENDSVC_DOCCREATETIME

    RENDSVC_DOCUPDATETIME

    RENDSVC_DOCFILEUPDATETIME

    RENDSVC_DOCWORKFLOWNAME

    RENDSVC_DOCSTATENAME

    RENDSVC_VAULTID

    RENDSVC_VAULTNAME

    RENDSVC_VAULTDESC

    RENDSVC_VAULTPATHNAME

    RENDSVC_VAULTPATHDESC

    RENDSVC_FULLFILEPATHNAME

    RENDSVC_ENVPROP_<DocumentEnvironmentName>

    RENDSVC_PROJPROP_<RichProjectPropertyName>

    Note: When using ProjectWise document environment and rich project properties, if the property contains a space, use an underbar in the variable name. 

    For example, if the project property is "Project Name", the rendition variable will be RENDSVC_PROJPROP_PROJECT_NAME.
