Create New Projects in Batch Mode

To create multiple projects simultaneously, you can use the APPRUN command in batch mode by executing a single command line.

This approach bypasses the need to use the Project Creation Wizard in AVEVA Administration, and allows project creation directly from a CMD shell using command-line instructions. This process still requires the same input values as those used in the Project Creation Wizard. For details on these values, see Project Creation Wizard.

To build new projects in batch mode, use the following command:

Admin -md:ProjectCreation -args --Projcode:AAA --Project:-AAA --Address:"C:\projects\AAA" --Description"AAA Project" --Message"Project Message" --Freeuser:Admin --Freepass:Admin -Type:PLANT silent

In this command, the -Type argument can be set to PLANT or MARINE. The --Address argument sets the target path where the project is built. When executed, this command builds the necessary project folders, creates the System, Communication and Miscellaneous Database in the 000 folder, and generates the environment variables file (evars<Projcode>.bat) to prepare the environment for Administration tasks.

Additionally, the process appends additional settings for the new project to the custom_evars.bat file located in the Project Directory location specified during product installation. To activate the environment for the newly created project, use the following lines:

set projcode=AAA

if exist "%projects_dir%%projcode%\evars%projcode%.bat" call "%projects_dir%%projcode%\evars%projcode%.bat" "%projects_dir%"
