auto batch job in mfg/pro

[etiennesun]

Hello,

does anybody know how to setup an auto batch job for 3.4.2 in mfg/pro and eff date should be default to today.
I did a program but it could't be run in GUI client.

INPUT FROM test1.in.
OUTPUT TO c:\resulttran.prn.
RUN mf.p.
INPUT CLOSE.
OUTPUT CLOSE.


"mfg" "password"
iclotr01.p
- - - - - - - - "autotrans" "Lsam" "ahm" "lsam" "pur" "?" "yes" "yes"
"c:\test.prn"
.
.
y

tks.

First its best to do in CHUI mode only.
What are you trying to do? how is "lsam" etc defined?

tks for your quick reply,I am trying to inventory movement automaticlly use 3.4.2 every night and the lsam is site name...
pls advise me how to do it.

Everything looks fine.

what are you seeing in .prn?any error? send us the details.
you need adding extra instead of 'y' you dont question to exit in GUI.

Only missing the variable batchrun:

INPUT FROM test1.in.
OUTPUT TO c:\resulttran.prn.
batchrun = yes.
RUN mf.p.
batchrun = no.
INPUT CLOSE.
OUTPUT CLOSE.

Greetings​

Good morning. I did try out to run GUI- automatically running MRP but i couldn't make it. As per MFGPRO consultant, it's better to run in the CHAR mode. As I tried it in CHAR mode, everything goes smooth sailing.

 

[Kishor Chari]

I second that.

We are new to GUI environment and trying to run a batch job. My question is how to run in "CHAR" mode? What command, parameter, would do it?

Thanks.

I am running on Windows platform, CHAR mode, eb version, progress 9.1c
a) Create BatchID (in 36.14.1 Batch ID Maint)
Batch ID: <any name>
Permantent: yes
Piriority: 0


b) Run 23.1 Net Change Materials Plan
output: MRP
BatchID: MRP


c) the (b) will shown in Batch Request Detail Maintenance (36.14.3)


d) Create a batch file (*.bat) with the following information (mine is to run the 23.1 Net Change Materials Plan)
"C:\app\dlc\91\bin\_progres.exe" -b -pf c:\app\qad\USCHRCL\gtmnew.pf -ininame c:\app\qad\USCHRCL\GTMNEW.CHR <c:\app\mrp\mrp.txt> c:\app\mrp\output.txt

Notes:
_progress.exe - to run the CHAR mode
prowin32.exe- to run the GUI mode


e) create the text file (MRP.txt)
"userid" "password" //key in the userid & password
"mgbatch.p" //Call the mgbatch program
"MRP" //batchID created in 36.14.1
. //Escape
. //Escape
"Y" //Log off confirmation

Note:
I note that in CHAR mode you were asked "Please confirm exit Y/N" and this message is not shown in GUI mode.

f) Use Sceduled Task to run the batch file (set the day and time you required)
