19.8 Starting the BPE
The Figure 19.13 shows the second panel that immediately follows the first panel if one
session is processed. In case that more sessions are to be processed in parallel an additional
panel is displayed (the multi session BPE is described in Section 19.9). The options shown in
Figure 19.13 are self-explanatory and we refer to the corresponding help for their description.
In the third panel (see Figure 19.14) the user defines the names of the output file, error
file (that may be merged into the output file), and the status files. Output file names have
to be unique if several BPEs are started in the same campaign. Again, these options are
self-explanatory and we refer to the corresponding help for their full description.
The last panel (see Figure 19.15) defines the so-called server variables. Due to compatibility
with the old BPE the names of these variables should start with “V ” (see Section 19.6.2).
The menu program lists the variables defined in the PCF and the user may edit the list
according to his needs. He may, e.g., specify the first characters of the result files individually
for each BPE run if the corresponding variables are consistently used as part of the output
file names in BPE program panels.
After setting the options in all panels the BPE server can be started in interactive mode
using the ^Run button. The BPE server is then started as independent process, and the
server’s window appears displaying the BPE status file (see Section 19.10.1) that is updated
every 5 seconds. In the meantime the menu may be used to perform other tasks or may
even be closed without interrupting the execution of the BPE.
