The asset database can be synchronized from CAD source data. Some organizations may update CAD source data regularly, possibly daily. You can schedule synchronization at regular intervals to happen in the background, without human intervention. V-Suite CORE includes a program called CadSynchronizer.exe. This program can be found in the V-Suite CORE Program Folder and performs the same functions as V-Suite CORE synchronization but can be started from a command prompt and can be scheduled. You can use standard Windows facitlties to schedule a batch file. Note that CadSynchronizer.exe requires a valid V-Suite CORE Product and the applicable add-on licence. CadSynchronizer.exe requires existing CAD Sources which have been configured via the CAD Source Wizard.

CadSynchronizer performs the following functions:

List all CAD sources in an existing asset database 

At a command prompt enter:

CadSynchronizer -list FILENAME [-server SERVER] 

e.g. CadSynchronizer -list "c:\my projects\my_data.ixad" -server server_01

where FILENAME is the name of the asset database and SERVER is the name of the license SERVER.

The license server argument is optional and can be ommited if the program is executed on a workstation with a local license.  

Note: Make sure to enclose FILENAME and SERVER in quotation marks if they contain spaces or other non-standard characters.

Synchronize the asset database from a specified source 

At a command prompt enter:

CadSynchronizer -sync FILENAME -source NAME [-server SERVER] 

e.g. CadSynchronizer -sync "c:\my projects\my_data.ixad" -source "PDS Unit 8" -server server_01

where FILENAME is the name of the asset database to be synchronized, NAME is the name of the CAD Source and SERVER is the name of the license SERVER.

The license server argument is optional and can be omitted if the program is executed on a workstation with a local license.

Note: Make sure to enclose FILENAME, NAME and SERVER in quotation marks if they contain spaces or other non-standard characters.

Synchronize the asset database from all CAD sources 

At a command prompt enter:

CadSynchronizer -sync FILENAME [-server SERVER] 

e.g. CadSynchronizer -sync "c:\my projects\my_data.ixad" -server server_01

where FILENAME is the name of the Asset Database to be synchronized and SERVER is the name of the license SERVER.

The license server argument is optional and can be ommited if the program is executed on a workstation with a local license.

Note: Make sure to enclose FILENAME and SERVER in quotation marks if they contain spaces or other non-standard characters.
