Configuration Guide

General Settings

---

Minute Creator General Settings are used to configure the general settings for each Job, mainly to enable/disable debug features but importantly, there is a file blacklist option called Skip these Extensions which may be useful for many Jobs.

Preferably, use Minute Insights and Job History as the first point of call for Job review prior to enabling these settings.

Enable Debug Log Toggle

Enables/Disables the creation of Minute Creator debug log files, this setting is useful for debugging. Resulting log files are saved to the Job Processor into the default Minute Creator log path as text files.

C:\TEMP\TTGENERALLOGS

This location can not be changed.

TIP

Use Minute Insights for real time analytics. Typically, the Debug Log should remain disabled.

Debug Log Cleanup Toggle

Limits the creation of log files to 100 entries. Older logs are deleted from the server, this setting is useful whilst debugging.

1 Version per Prop (Update) Toggle

The target file will be versioned per applied property. Typically disabled by default, but useful for troubleshooting a Job that's updating multiple properties when one may contain problematic text - such as in the case of a non-expected text character throwing a silent error causing the job to fail.

Log All DGN blocks in File Toggle

For use when working with MicroStation file formats. Enabling will list each DGN block within the log file, useful when debugging a MicroStation Job.

Get Latest Before Run Toggle

The processing Job gets the latest versioned file from Vault before executing the Job. Recommended to set as enabled.

Note

Setting Get Latest Before Run to false will process the queued version of the target file and not the latest.

Cleanup Temp Toggle

Deletes temporary files used to process the job upon either completion or failure of the job. Only disable if troubleshooting a problematic Job so temporary Job files remain accessible for review. Remember to enable after troubleshooting has completed.

Whilst enabled, files within the folder are deleted: C:\temp\TTPDFJOB

Checkout Retry Pause Milliseconds

Specify a period of time before the Job reattempts to process a file that was checked-out, after the defined period of time (milliseconds). 10 seconds being 10000 milliseconds.

Skip these Extensions File Extension List

Essentially a blacklist, Jobs will silently fail (without error) if the extension of their target file is matched against this list. If a Job is triggering against multiple file formats, for example both .DWG and .PDF, but only .DWG files are needing to be processed, add .PDF to this list.
