Generate Load Files

You can use any of the following two methods to generate load files using Santa Automation.

Data File Solution

  1. Select one of the options available in the Solution tab. These options are configured in data.xml.

  2. Upon selecting the required solution (for example, SPO Operating Plant), click on the Generate LoadFiles button.

  3. After successful generation of the load files, a message Generation is displayed.

Browse ELFs

  1. Browse to the path of the Excel templates in order to generate them. This also provides with two more buttons, Remove Files and Clear Files.

  2. Click Remove Files to remove the selected Excel file from the list of Excel files for which load files are to be generated.

  3. Click Clear Files to remove all the Excel files that appeared in the list box.

    Multiple ELFs can browse in this method while previous method doesn’t support it.

  4. Click Generate LoadFiles after selecting the ELFs. After successful generation of the load files.

The configuration folder contains schema files used for business package. If the path of load files (Schema, Admin and Data files that provide the SPO configuration and functionality) for each business package are not correctly mapped or specified in xmlldr files, use Santa to regenerate files. Once xmlldr files are generated, load these files using the SmartPlant Foundation Desktop Client. Follow next step listed below.

  1. Select the solution that needs generated, and click Generate Load Files. SANTA reads the data.xml and generates all the load files (by referencing the configured mapping xml) for all the Excel files listed under the selected solution.

    Each file that SANTA generates is defined in the Data.xml file as:

<file path="c:\program files (x86)\smartplant\spx\operating plant\BPs\CMC\Configuration\Load Files\ADMIN_CMC.xlsm" FormatType="xml" GenerateForSchemaEditor="FALSE" Scope="ADMIN" solution="SPO"/>

OOTB there will be (at minimum) a solution set up for all of Operating Plant’s files to be regenerated.

Upon successful completion, a message will display saying execution was completed.
