DRAW Reference Manual

Drawing the Design : Background Process Manager : Prerequisites

Certain environment variable settings must be defined before the BPM can be used:

•

AVEVA_DESIGN_EXE, since it contains the module to be executed in the background.

•

AVEVA_DESIGN_WK, since it contains the job XML file, the AVEVA E3D™ macro, the regenerated VIEW files and the DRAW log file. It also contains the BPM log file.

•

The project environment variables XXX000, XXXISO, XXXMAC and XXXPIC must be defined for each project XXX to which the BPM is applied.

A batch file BPM.bat is supplied to enable the above environment variables automatically and to start the BPM in much the same way as .bat enables to AVEVA E3D™ environment variables.
