How to create a standard FHX file from a Shell command line ?

Hi

I'm looking for a manner to start the generation of a standard FHX file from a command line, ie, in a BAT file.
I would like to export a FHX file of the whole "Control Strategies" item from a Shell command, not from DvExplorer menu.
Is it possible ... and how ?

I have tested all the 'c:\deltav\bin' files with the syntax "TheFile /?" to try finding a shell command with no success.
May be with a DLL library file ? I don't know.

Thanks, Jack

  • You can't export just the Control Strategies but you can export the entire database with two different command lines using DBImpExpClient (located under DeltaV\bin directory):

    1. DBImpExpClient.exe -e [DatabaseName] Filename.fhx

    Example: C:\DeltaV\bin\>dbImpExpClient.exe -e DeltaV_System D:\ExportTest.fhx

    2. DBImpExpClient.exe –de [directory path]

    Example: C:\DeltaV\bin\>dbImpExpClient.exe -de C:\

    The exported database file will have the database name appended by the current date, for example: DeltaV_System_Oct08.fhx

    Thanx a lot, Matt.

    Is there a documentation about these syntaxes ?

    If you have Guardian Support you can probably find more information that way but Books On-Line doesn't have any information on it.

    Typically you can put /? at the end of executables (i.e. DBImpExpClient /?) and it will document all the command switches available but it doesn't work.

    I have talked with some people in Product Development about this issue but I assume it won't be fixed anytime real soon.
