When you run the utility using the Windows Task Scheduler or the command prompt, you can repair and report drawings in projects from different sites. However, before running the utility, you must provide the necessary site, plant, and project details in an Excel file format.
For a plant with projects, such as an as-built plant, the plant and project names are different. If the plant does not have any projects, enter the plant name in the plant and project columns.
Create the Excel file
-
Open Microsoft Excel on your computer.
-
In the first row, create the INI file path, plant, and project column headers.
-
In the Excel sheet, fill in the rows with the necessary details for each project that you want to analyze.
-
Save the Excel file in a location of your choice.
Run the Service Pids utility
-
Open a command prompt window.
-
Navigate to the drive where the servicepidsexe.exe executable is located.
-
Type the following command:
servicepidsexe.exe "[Excel file path]"
Replace [Excel file path] with the actual path. For example, servicepidsexe.exe "C:\Users\Documents\MyExcelFile.xlsx"
-
Press ENTER.
For information on repair and report process status, check the ServicePids.log file in your temporary folder.
