Set up a batch print log file - SmartPlant Foundation - IM Update 48 - Help - Hexagon

All SmartPlant Foundation batch printing jobs run as the SPFRemoteServices local user to access the system and its registry, even if you are logged on as a domain user.

Follow the below steps to set up a batch printing log file.

1. Follow the steps in Setting up SmartPlant Markup Plus log files to set up an environment variable.

2. For batch print log creation, set SPMDBG to 8.

   

3. If the SPMDBG environment variable is set to 8:

   1. The SPMError.log file is not deleted after each separate dmredl process. All debug information is appended to SPMError.log.

   2. SPMError.log will contain the module name and time stamp of failure.

   3. If batch printing fails, the failed .ini file and the StdErr output will not be deleted from the temporary directory (such as C:\temp).

   4. If any printing job fails, SmartPlant Markup Plus will create spm*.tmp and spmerror.log in the user's and in the system's temporary directories.

• To locate a user's temporary directory, type %temp% in Windows Explorer.

• The SmartPlant Markup Plus debug files can be found in the user's and in the system's temporary directories. For example, C:\Users\SPFRemoteServices\AppData\Local\Temp\ and C:\Windows\TEMP\3.
