Tutorial - Create a TIF Job to trigger CATIA Batch Process

The goal of this tutorial is to configure a TIF Job that triggers a CATIA Batch Process.

The tutorial includes reference configuration for an outbound integration that triggers a CATIA Batch Process. In this example we will use CATIA Batch to export a 3DXML file from ENOVIA. The CATIA Batch command is a command line tool that allows you to run CATIA commands in batch mode. This is useful for automating tasks and running commands without the need for a graphical user interface.

The tutorial is based on the following assumptions:

You have a working installation of ENOVIA, TIF and CATIA on the same windows server.
You have a 3DPassport user with the necessary permissions to run CATIA Batch Process and so on…
You have proper test objects (e.g. a Physical Product/VPMReference with related data) in ENOVIA/CATIA that you can use to test the integration.

The example is based on 3DEXPERIENCE R2024x and CATIA V6 R2024x. Some additional steps are required if you are on 3DX Cloud or if the installations are on different servers. (This is the most basic example).

Use Case Flow

In brief, the flow in this tutorial is the following:

Create necessary CATIA Batch command XML template.
Set CATIA connection info.
Create a TIF job configuration file that runs the CATIA Batch command.
Test/trigger the job configuration file.
Check/validate the output.

Preparations

In order to use catia batch commands we need to manually create an xml template that we use to run the command.

Create an xml template for CATIA Batch

To run a CATIA Batch command, we need to create an XML template that we can use to run the command. The XML template should contain the necessary parameters for the CATIA Batch command.

Start catia/CATSTART (C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B426\win_b64\code\bin\CATSTART.exe" -run "CATUTIL)

Figure 1. Start catia

if the user credentials are not present in the cat env file, a login prompt will be shown. login with the user credentials and set the proper context.

Choose platform.

Figure 2. Choose platform

Export 3DXML.

Figure 3. Choose export

Define the data to extract and save the template. (we will save the template to D:\temp\template.xml)

Figure 4. Export Form

The following is an example of a CATIA Batch command XML template:

D:\temp\template.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM "Parameters.dtd">

<root batch_name = "ExportPLMBriefcaseBatch" user = "" password = "" env = "" version = "6 425 3 27 06-14-2023.15.25" licfile = "">

It is possible to write/generate more dynamic XML templates using TIF capabilities. For example, if the job should be able to be used on any object. We could make tif pass that info to the template. This is not covered in this tutorial.

CATIA Connection Info

To be able to run the command without any user interaction we need to modify the xml template to use generic connection info that we will then specify in the CATIA environment file.

XML Template Modifications

Replace the content of the <ServerLicence_PLM1> and <Connected_PLM1> tags with the string PLMBATCH_EXTERNAL_CONNECTION in the template.xml file.

CATIA Environment Variables

The environment file is located in the CATIA installation folder. The file is named Env.txt and is located in the CATEnv folder. (it is also possible to use a custom environment file, that then needs to be referenced to in the batch command, e.g. env MyCustomEnvFilename -direnv "C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B424_Cloud\CATEnv" ).

Set the following environment variables in the Env.txt file:

user credentials
server name and port number
login token
other necessary parameters

C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B426\CATEnv\Env.txt

PLMBATCH_Connect_PLM1_User=admin_platform
PLMBATCH_Connect_PLM1_xPwd=enoviaV6

PLMBATCH_NoPLMStream=1

To get/generate the login ticket/token you can do the following in the 3dx app: navigate to Experience Configuration > Manage Login Tickets and generate a new login ticket. Copy the generated token and paste it in the Env.txt file parameter PLMBATCH_Connect_PLM1_LoginTicket=.

Example:

C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B426\CATEnv\Env.txt

Integration Configuration / TIF Job Configuration

To run the CATIA Batch command, we need to create a TIF job configuration file. The job configuration file should contain the necessary parameters for the CATIA Batch command using External Process.

The input parameter should be the XML template we created in the previous step. The output parameter should be the folder where we want to save the output files.

Job configuration:

${TIF_ROOT}/modules/enovia/cfg/jobcfg/MyCatiaJob.xml

<Job xmlns="http://technia.com/TIF/JobCfg" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:cmn="http://technia.com/TIF/Common" xmlns:payload="http://technia.com/TIF/Payload" xmlns:modifier="http://technia.com/TIF/FileModifier"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://technia.com/TIF/JobCfg file:///C:/projects/tif/enovia/server/src/main/xsd/JobCfg.xsd">
    <ExternalProcess>
        <Exec>
            <Executable>C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B426\win_b64\code\bin\CATBatchStarter.exe</Executable>
            <Arguments>
                <Arg>-input "D:\temp\template.xml"</Arg>
                <Arg>-output "D:\temp\out"</Arg>
                <Arg>-verbose</Arg>
            </Arguments>
        </Exec>
    </ExternalProcess>
</Job>

This is/would be equivalent to running the following command in a command prompt:

"C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B426\win_b64\code\bin\CATBatchStarter.exe" -input "D:\temp\template.xml" -output "D:\temp\out" -verbose

Test/trigger the job configuration file.

Trigger the job, for example by using MQL: exec prog TIFTrigger -method newJob 41918.49073.53336.63357 tvc:jobcfg/myjob.xml; (replace with your job configuration file and any business object id).

Check/validate the output.

Now we have successfully exported a 3DXML file from ENOVIA using CATIA Batch Process. The output file is located in the folder specified in the job configuration file, e.g. D:/temp/out/ExportFile.3dxml.
