5.12.11.29.12.3. Error source 3 - Wrong configuration of interface

When exporting in the ZUKEN_CLX_XML and ZUKEN_CLX_MDB formats, specific files are required that are referenced in the interface file ifm3d_zuken.cfg. For various reasons, the referenced files may not be found there. In this case, an error message appears during export.

The required files are divided into two groups:

  1. Files that are stored by default at $CADANAS/iface/zuken (interface files): These files are generally required both for export in ZUKEN_CLX_XML format and in ZUKEN_CLX_MDB format.

  2. Zuken database files of type template_<...>.mdb: These files are only required for export in ZUKEN_CLX_MDB format.

Troubleshooting for case a)

To rectify the error, it makes sense to check the key paths in the PATHS block in PARTadmin at ifm3d_zuken.cfg and ensure that the folder $CADENAS/iface/zuken exists and that the files shown at Fig. „Referenced interface files“ are present. A frequent error case is when $CADENAS in certain constellations, for example, points to a central server to which there is no write access from the local workstation and the files have not been stored there correctly. One solution may be to store the required files anywhere and adjust the paths configured in ifm3d_zuken.cfg at $SITESETUP.

  1. Place the zuken folder with the interface files on the local C: drive.

  2. Create a directory SITESETUP or use an existing one.

  3. In Explorer, copy the interface file ifm3d_zuken.cfg to this location.

  4. Open PARTadmin and the file you have just created.

  5. Open the block PATHS.

  6. Adjust the paths.

    PATHS configuration entries: Here in this example the paths have been explicitly changed to C:/Zuken.

Troubleshooting for case b)

This is an error that can never occur in ZUKEN_CLX_XML mode, but only in ZUKEN_CLX_MDB mode. It occurs when the module CLX.exe supplied by Zuken cannot find the required input MDBs. The paths for these databases must match the local installation and are defined in the configuration file ifm3d_zuken.cfg in the block CLX_PATHS. The corresponding files are mandatory for the ZUKEN_CLX_MDB mode. Otherwise an error message will be displayed.

The trouble shooting is analogously to error case a). However, in this case the files referenced in the block CLX_PATHS have to be considered.
