Ahá,

Now I read you I am remembering the program from El Juanri to move catsettings from one release to another

I've seen posts from you recommending it. But the link is dead.

Do you know if the program is still available?

thanks!

Hi again,

Juanri told me you made this programme to migrate the Catsettings but not anymore. He also said he tried the "official" programme from Dassault to change but the result was blank files.

Nothing successful.

What I found in internet:
IBM/Dassault recommended using 2 applications within basic CATIA V5 install to migrate CATSettings

CATBatGenXMLSet exports .CATSettings file to .XML CATSettings file format (e.g. – v5r17)
CATBatImpXMLSet imports .XML CATSetting file format to .CATSettings file (e.g. – v5r18)

When used tools to migrate CATSettings, some customized attributes values did not get migrated correctly.

Has anyone tried these applications?

Were can I find them?

thanks!

Hi,

Juanri is kind as usual, was more his work then mine but is true we lost the interest...and this remind me that it would be good to have something similar for v6....

All those old programs probably will not work on your release, I suppose you are running under Win 7 x64, with a newer CATIA release...I will try to see if there are new DS tools to do this job...

I find these tools very useful, throwing away the Catsettings with every release change is unacceptable.

If you find anything please let me know :)

thanks

Hi,

Maybe is too naive question, but could you give me a link for these tools? I don't know where to find them.

I can play around a bit with them to see if they work

cheers,

ok!
finally. i was googleling for it
I found the files (CATBatGenXMLSet and CATBatImpXMLSet)
But when I execute the file nothing happens, I window pops up but immediately closes.
Is this normal and sending the XML file somewhere or is it just not working?
thanks

Method to export CATSettings into XML file:
‘CATBatGenXMLSet’ is a command used to generate xml file of a CATSetting. You can find this command at ‘installation_path\win_b64\code\bin’
Following is the procedure to export respective CATSettings into ‘xml’ format.
1) Change to the default folder in which folder product is installed.
2) Enter following command (in MS-DOS command prompt):
CATBatGenXMLSet <Outpur_directory> <SettingsName> <CATIA mode>
The arguments are:
Output_directory: Name of the directly where the XML file will be stored.
SettingName: Name of the CATSettings file (without the .CATSettings extension) to be exported.
Mode: Optional argument, Specify –admin in order to consider ‘Reference setting’ and create XML file.
By default i.e. when no mode defined, it considers the user settings as input and XML creates and Name of the created XML file will be SettingName.xml

Example
CATBatGenXMLSet C:/User/XML CATMemWarning

Method to Import XML file into CATSettings:
‘CATBatImpXMLSet’ is a command used to create CATSetting from respective ‘xml’ file.
Following is the procedure to import the xml file into respective CATSetting.
1) Enter the command as follows:
CATBatImpXMLset <XML_file> <Mode>
Arguments:
XML_File: Path of the XML file to import into the current V5 environment. Example: C:/User/XML/CATMemWarning.xml
Mode: Optional argument, specify –admin to generate ‘Reference setting ‘at the path pointed by ‘CATReferanceSettingPath’ variable.
By default i.e. when no mode is specified it will generate ‘User setting’ at the path pointed by ‘CATUserSettingPath’ variable.

By default i.e. when no mode is specified it will generate ‘User setting’ at the path pointed by ‘CATUserSettingPath’ variable.
 After either exporting or Importing settings files, a message will appears confirming that conversion is successful, same below :
‘Settings ABC has XYZ attributes successfully exported/ Imported’
Where “ABC” is setting file name and “XYZ” is the number of attributes.
 If exported file is already present, previous file will be overwritten by newer one.
 Certain settings files may be empty. If attempt to export an empty settings file, following message will be displayed:
‘Setting ‘ABC’ is empty’.
 Certain attributes in certain settings files, when exported to XML format, cannot be converted to text. The following is a non-exhaustive list identifying such settings file:
i. FrameConfig.CATSettings
ii. FrameGeneral.CATSettings
iii. DLNames.CATSettings
iv. CDMA_PSMapping.CATSettings.
Exporting these settings files to XML format renders them unusable.
