Configure the validation report definition - SmartPlant Foundation - IM Update 44 - Customization & Programming - Hexagon

Set the path of the custom validation report writer assembly. For example:

VTLCustomReportWriterDllPath="D:\CustomDlls\CustomValidationReportWriter.dll".

Set the following two properties on the IVTLValidationReportDefinition interface.

1. VTLValidationReportType - This property specifies the validation report type. This type uses the VTLValidationReportTypes enum list, which contains:

   • e1TextReport - a text report enum.

   • e1ExcelReport - a Microsoft Excel report enum.

   • e1CustomReport - a custom report enum.

   To generate the report in a custom format use the e1CustomReport enum entry.

2. VTLCustomReportWriterDllPath - This property specifies the path to the custom validation report writer assembly. You can use the full path or relative path to the custom assembly. For example:

   • Full path - "D:\CustomDlls\CustomValidationReportWriter.dll"

   • Relative Path - "CustomValidationReportWriter.dll"

   The relative path must be based on the site Bin directory.

   For example:

   <drive>:\SmartPlant Foundation Server Files\Web_Sites\SDVTestServer\Bin.

Use the following schema to create a new VTLValidationReportDefinition and use it while creating a job definition.

This sample can also be found in the ModelFiles directory in the CustomExamples folder at Smart Community. For more information, see Find sample data on Smart Community.
