Tip

  • To keep different sessions separate, the currently logged-in user and the PID can, e.g., be displayed in the system title.

    • If the standard user menu MOD0099QC is used:

      • Open the Python Macros module and change the CHANGE_TITLE variable in the on_load -method from CHANGE_TITLE=FALSE to CHANGE_TITLE=TRUE.

    • If an individual user menu is used:

      • Open the Python Macros module and insert the following lines in the on_load method of the user menu:

      • The following lines, like the other lines in the on_load method, must each be indented with four spaces.

Python
PID = str(os.getpid())
ppms.ui_set_system_title('Systemtitel' + ', PID: ' + PID + " - " + ppms.uvar_get("@1"))

Details

  • The next time you open PLANTA project, the PID will be displayed in the system title.

    • The PID is also part of the log file so that a log file can always be assigned to the corresponding session.
