Drawing the Design
: Background Process Manager
Background Process Manager
A facility is provided to allow updating a design to take place as a background process. This allows you to carry on with your work while updating is performed. When required, other views can be worked on, including Views in the same Sheet, while the background process is running.
Background processes are managed using the Background Process Queue Manger (BPM).
The foreground design session and the BPM do not need to be active at the same time. For example, the design session could submit any number of design updates as background processes, before the BPM is even started. The two processes are completely independent; the queue manager can run overnight, for example.
Background processes are run one at a time. Once a background process has been completed, you will be notified. A design session must then be started in order to refresh the updated Design view, as picture files are not updated directly by the process.
Each BPM job updates a single VIEW, or multiple VIEWs contained in a SHEET, or the total set of VIEWs contained in multiple SHEETs of a DRAWING. Since the output is a set of individual VIEW files, they may be imported to refresh existing VIEWs selectively, or collectively for the owning SHEET or DRAWING. Facilities are provided to cancel and delete jobs as well as purging unwanted files.
