powerJobs Processor v22

v22.0.22

01-02-2022

Fixed

• Issue where the Job Processor produces notable overhead for each registered custom job on startup when activated via serial number

• 404 error page “This page does not exist yet” opens after clicking Help → Online Help button in powerJobs Processor window

v22.0.20

16-12-2021

General

• Assembly powerJobs.Common gets installed in the GAC

Fixed

• Issue with jobs which use custom Applications but fail to load file or assembly ‘powerJobs.Common, Version=22.0….’ after installing updates on Job Processor environment

• Issue with failing Open-Document cmdlet which incorrectly reports ‘not supported file type’ when custom Application is implemented and ApplicationBase.SupportedFileTypes does not return file extensions in lower case

Breaking Changes

Custom Applications

Replace powerJobs.Common reference in Visual Studio Project: When rebuilding the Visual Studio project the build fails because the assembly powerJobs.Common.dll is not any more available in the directory “C:\Program Files\coolOrange\Modules\powerJobs”. The reference must be removed and the assembly must be re-referenced from the GAC. From now on the custom Application can also be used after updates, without having to rebuild the project with the same assembly version which is installed on the Job Processor environment.

Remove coolOrange.GenerateEngine reference in Visual Studio Project and change namespace: The reference to the assembly coolorange.GenerateEngine must be removed in your Visual Studio project. All the required interfaces and abstractions for implementing custom Applications were moved to the powerJobs.Common.dll. Usages of the namespace coolOranage.GenerateEngine must therefore be replaced with powerJobs.Common.Applications.

v22.0.19

06-12-2021

Features

• The powerJobs Settings Dialog displays settings based on their type:

  • Switch settings with yes/no (boolean) values are displayed as checkboxes and can therefore be easily modified

  • Text settings can be displayed and modified without worrying about correct PowerShell syntax (quotation, escaping etc.)

  • experienced users which specify more flexibile Powershell settings, those expressions are highlighted in italic and underlined

• The jobs working directory (located in C:\Temp\powerJobs Processor...) gets automatically cleaned up after every job execution.

  • Usages of the Clean-Up cmdlet in custom job scripts are therefore no longer necessary and can be removed.

General

• Several modifications to facilitate the usage of Sample Jobs:

  • Replaced $…FileName settings with easier configurable switches for controlling the name of exported files:

    • $…FileNameWithExtension settings allow to remove the Vault main file’s extension

    • $…FileNameWithRevision and $…FileNameRevisionSeparator settings allow to add the Vault source file’s revision label

    • Removed $local…fileLocation settings which were available in some job scripts

    • Removed $hide…inVault settings whereby exported files continue to be displayed in the Vault Client

    • Replaced $fastOpen settings in several jobs with easier configurable $openReleasedDrawingsFast switch

    • Replaced $workingDirectory settings with global $workingDirectory variable which gets automatically provided for each processed job

Breaking Changes

Replaced $changeOrder
The $changeOrder object of type Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework.Vault.Currency.Entities.ChangeOrder provided in Jobs has been replaced by the powerVault ChangeOrder object.
Members of $changeOrder used in Scripts such as EntityIterationId and Number should therefore be replaced with Id and _Number.
