As of versions 16 and later, the designPropEZ database function has been deprecated.
For versions 12 and earlier, please use the designPropEZ Database, or the main EZ Suite database. If you do not have these, please contact our support team at support@ytria.com.
For more information on how to use this database see this page.
designPropEZ Batch Processing Script Suite
This suite of scripts supersedes the designPropEZ database's batch process functions in version 16.5.1 and beyond.
For ease of execution, please make sure all scripts within are contained within the same directory.
Inline comments/instructions have been included in each script for your convenience.

Using the script suite:
Preparation
The process file can also be launched directly on an database already open in designPropEZ. However, for most consistent results we recommend that users adopt the best practice outlined in these steps.
-
Ensure that Mandatory_Export_designPropEZ.xml is available in the same directory as your settings file. No user input is needed, but you may modify parameters and values as needed.
-
It is not necessary to include a grid configuration file, but if desired, you can choose the preset configuration by keeping Optional_GridConfigSettings_designPropEZ.xml in the same directory. You may also save your own grid configuration file in this directory and under the same name.
-
If you need to process multiple databases, you can either use the option 'Execute Automation File on…' to launch Mandatory_Process_designPropEZ.xml on a given selection of databases in databaseEZ. Or, if you don't want to involve databaseEZ, input your database information in Optional_Launch_designPropEZ.xml; the information will be called from the process script.
Launch
-
To process a single database, open designPropEZ (if not already opened) and select the option 'Load Automation file' from the Database menu. Find and run the script named Mandatory_Process_designPropEZ.xml. Your settings specified in Mandatory_Settings_Input_designPropEZ.xml will be applied.
-
To process multiple databases, refer to the multi-database preparation step above.
