The batch mode of the HTML
ImageMapper enables you to process your ImageMapper projects automatically at
any given time.
The ImageMapper is started
as a Windows task in batch mode at a time you choose.
The configuration of the
Windows task is described below:
- Access the setting window
via "Start" > "Control Panel" > "Scheduled
tasks".
- Start the “Assistant for
planned tasks by double clicking “Add scheduled task”.
- Click on “Next” and select
in the next window “HTML ImageMapper NG BatchGUI” as program to be carried
out.
- Click on “Next” to specify
in the next step when the batch mode is to be started.
- With “Next” you can make
more detailed settings concerning the starting time.
- After that, the name and
possibly the password of the user who wants to start the program have to
be entered. Then click on “Next”.
- In the next window select
the option “Open advanced properties for this task when I click Finish
" in order to specify which ImageMapper project is to be executed.
Now click on “Finish”.
- Now you have to specify
which ImageMapper settings file is to be delivered as parameter when
starting.
In order to do this, add the path to your settings file at "Run"
at the end of the line. If you do not want to use the output directory
specified in the settings file, you may also select another output
directory as a second parameter.
- For instance, if the path
to your ImageMapper Settings file is "C:\projekts\IM project.im11”,
add the path at the end of the line, so it looks like:
“C:\documents and settings\...BatchGUI.Ink” “C:\Projects\IM
project.im11”
Make
sure the quotation marks are properly inserted, so the empty spaces in the file
name are processed correctly.
- Confirm by clicking “OK”.
Now you can test the batch
function. In order to do this, right-click in the window "Planned
tasks" on the task you created and select "Run".
Now ArcMap starts and the
HTML ImageMapper NG executes your project:
