You can schedule a translation, compose, update, or publish operation to run once or at regular intervals. This section describes the scheduling options and provides the basic workflow.
-
Smart Interop Publisher requires Intergraph Batch Services version 2010 SP1 HF 06.01.11.00 or later.
-
When scheduling jobs to run on a mapped network drive, you must use the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) file path. This applies to all file locations such as the source file, Smart Model, and mapping files locations you must enter in Smart Model translation and project settings.
Schedule Options
Job Name
Specifies a name for the scheduled job.
Queue Name
