Re-Starting PC-DMIS Via Automation

hey all,

I'm trying to restart PC-DMIS via automation. I'm running into an issue where one of my programs is so large that it causes an error when the next program is run.

i've tried this:

this is in c# but should be easy to follow along with.


public static void KillPCD()
{
     //Connect to pc-dmis
     PCDLRN.IApplication PCDAPP = new PCDLRN.Application;
     //get part programs
     PCDLRN.IPartPrograms PCDPROGS = PCDLRN.PartPrograms;
     //if there are open partprograms, close/save them
     if (PCDPROGS.Count>0)
          {
                PCDPROGS.CloseAll();
          }
     //dump pcdprogs
     PCDPROGS = null;
     //close pc-dmis
     PCDAPP.Quit();
     //dump pcdapp;
     PCDAPP = null;
}

but the pc-dmis process still stays open in the background.
how can i close pc-dmis w/o killing the process?

thanks in advance!

Perhaps?

     //dump pcdprogs
     PCDPROGS = null;
     //close pc-dmis
     PCDAPP.Quit();
     //dump pcdapp;
     Marshal.ReleaseComObject(PCDAPP);
     PCDAPP = null;

i figuered it out(with the help of another forum member).

PCDAPP.UserExit = true;

allows you to close pc-dmis via your automation program
