Using the 3DEXPERIENCE PowerBy Import Batch Utility

You can automatically save documents to the 3DEXPERIENCE server (without opening them interactively) using the 3DEXPERIENCE PowerBy import batch utility. It reduces the time to save huge data on the disk.

  1. Double-click 3DEXPERIENCE PowerBy import from the batch monitor.
  2. Click Browse in the Document Selection section to choose the documents to import.

    Each document appearing in the Document Selection list will be processed by the import utility along with all its pointed documents.

  3. In the Import Settings section, choose one of the following options (this is applicable only if the data already exists in 3DEXPERIENCE and needs to be saved):

    • Create a New Revision: You can create a new revision for the existing document. You cannot use this option if CATUTIL is not connected.
    • Overwrite the Existing Revision: You can overwrite an older revision of any document, that already exists in the database.
    • Keep the Existing Revision: You can create documents if they do not exist.

  4. In the Revision Comment section, select the Add Comment check box. Enter your text (maximum 256 characters) in the comment box. When you save your changes, the details of the revision comment appear in the Properties tab in the widget.
  5. In the Output section, choose one of the following options:
    • Target Directory: Selects the target directory.
    • Append String to Document Report: By default, the name of the report is the same as the name of the document. You can change the Append String to Document Report field. For each processed document, the batch creates a document report in the target directory.
  6. Click Open Main HTML Report to access the output report.

The 3DEXPERIENCE PowerBy import batch automatically processes the pointed files even if they do not appear in the Document Selection list.
