HD25446: BATCH COMMANDS CANNOT BE EXECUTED WHEN TEMP DIRECTORY DOES NOT EXIST IN A "C DRIVE" WARNING ALL THE FIELDS ARE NOT CORRECTLY

APAR status

• Closed as unreproducible in next release.

Error description

• Batch commands cannot be executed when  TEMP
  directory does not exist in a "C Drive"
  Warning
  All the fields are not correctly filled
  Please do it before launching the batch
  Scenario
  0. Delete the "TEMP" directory, when a "TEMP"
  directory exists in "C Drive" folder.
  .
  1. Start CATIA.
  2. Select "Tool" => "Utility" (on Menu bar).
  ==> "Batch Monitor" panel appears.
  3. Double-Click "CATDUAV5"
  ==> "CATDUAV5" panel appears.
  4."Output directory" is selected. (Any Directory)
  5."Part.1.CATPart" is selected as "Document(s) to
  process".
  6.Click "Run" button.
  ===> The "Warning" panel appears.
  This problem is reproduced when other commands
  are used on "Utility".
  for example :
  * Batch-DXF-IGES-STEP
  * MigrateV4ToV5
  .
  This problem is not reproduced when a "TEMP"
  directory exists in "C Drive", but on "V5R12SP2",
  even if a "TEMP" directory does not exist in "C
  Drive", this problem is not reproduced.
  CATIA should execute the "CATDUAV5" command,
  even when a "TEMP" directory does not exist in "C
  Drive".
  CATIA should carry out the same behavior
  as "V5R12SP2", when using "Utility".
  On V5R12 the c:\TEMP directory was created
  automatically.

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• THE PROBLEM WAS SUBMITTED ON :
  CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 13.
  THIS PROBLEM IS NOT REPRODUCIBLE ON :
  CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 15 GA level
  Bypass: before running CATIA define variable
  BATCH_HOME=batch_directory_name
  (in Windows User Variables for instance)
  It will force the directory where batch files will be
  stored rather than trying to store them in TEMP
  directory..
