Project: HiCAD Plant Engineering

Part Data Synchronisation via Command Line

Part data synchronisation via command line should only be performed by experienced users!

You can also start the part data synchronisation via the Windows command line. For this you use the program

in the HiCAD subdirectory EXE.

After starting the program the Part data AutoSync window will be displayed. Please note that the Plant Engineering mode checkbox is active here. This option needs to be set for the part data synchronisation of Plant Engineering variants!

Automated processes

The control of the program via command line is useful for the definition of automated processes.

If the program PartDataAutoSync.exe is started via parameters from the command line, it depends on the parameter specification whether the Plant Engineering mode checkbox in the Part data AutoSync dialogue will be active or inactive.

• If the parameter after '/' is an upper-case letter, the checkbox will be activated.
• If the parameter after the '/' is a lower case letter, the Plant Engineering mode will be deactivated; in this case all Plant Engineering-specific options will be deactivated as well. Furthermore, the archive files selected for part data synchronisation will not be modified, i.e. no database IDs will be entered.

Part data synchronisation for HiCAD, general: (Plant Engineering mode deactivated)

• Call without specification of the archive file to be processed:

PartDataAutoSync.exe /g

• Call with transfer of the archive file path (Example):

PartDataAutoSync.exe /p "c:\hicad\szenen\Test Datei 1.vaa"

or

PartDataAutoSync.exe /p c:\hicad\szenen\Test Datei 1.vaa

• Call with transfer of the document Kopf-ID and document-Rev-ID (Example):

PartDataAutoSync.exe /d B00RZRY3XHNH0U00003JBR 0

The file must be located in the directory specified via HELiOS, or in the Vault Server.

• No specification of the archive file to be processed via command line

PartDataAutoSync.exe /M

• Call with transfer of the archive file name (Example):

PartDataAutoSync.exe /F "Test Datei 1.vaa"

or

PartDataAutoSync.exe /F Test Datei 1.vaa

The file must be located in the directory specified by the file group ID '6' (e.g.: "c:\hicad\PlantParts").

• Call with transfer of the document Kopf-ID and document-Rev-ID (Example):

PartDataAutoSync.exe /D B00RZRY3XHNH0U00003JBR 0

The file must be located in the directory specified by the file group ID '6' (z.B: "c:\hicad\PlantParts"), or in the Vault Server.

• Call with transfer of the name of a file containing a list of archive file names (Example):

PartDataAutoSync.exe /L "List File 1.lst"

or

PartDataAutoSync.exe /L List File 1.lst

The file must be located in the directory specified by the file group ID '6' (z.B: "c:\hicad\PlantParts").

• Call causing the ignoring of the database IDs stored in the VAA file, and their overwriting with the newly assigned IDs:

PartDataAutoSync.exe /I

Please note:
If you use the PartDataAutoSync.exe tool for part data synchronization with the HELiOS database, you can check whether the part type ID of a VAA or PAA file has changed. If this is the case, the classification of the article masters in HELiOS will be adjusted accordingly.
