Hi Akitake,If a single model or work space is suitable for all reports, then Monarch can process around 1000 reports in a single session. Of course, it may take a long time to load all of these - especially PDF files. For a few thousand, you should be able to run several batches and use the Append function when exporting to create a single output file. For many thousands of files, or if this is an ongoing requirement, I would suggest using the server version (Automator). You build the model or workspace on a sample, then deploy it onto the server version. This will process as many files as you need and is only limited by the resources of the server.Regards,Steve.------------------------------Steve CaielsProfessional ServicesAltair-------------------------------------------------------------------------Original Message:Sent: 11-13-2019 12:41 AMFrom: Akitake OguchiSubject: How to trap data from thousands of report files?I have thousands of PDF report files and want to trap data from them and combine into one.

Just to add on to Steve's answer, if you are using Monarch Classic (and have the appropriate license) you can use COM automation where you can call monarch from a command line. This can be used in a batch file where you can process each file individually and append the output to a common export.------------------------------Chris PorthouseSenior Implementation & Integration EngineerAltair-------------------------------------------------------------------------Original Message:Sent: 11-14-2019 03:45 AMFrom: Steve CaielsSubject: How to trap data from thousands of report files?Hi Akitake,If a single model or work space is suitable for all reports, then Monarch can process around 1000 reports in a single session.

Hi Steve,Thank you for your reply. Yes, a single model is fine to me, but how can I easily add thousands of report files to a table? I know by selecting the menu 'Report Options' > 'Add Report' of the table, I can add a report to the table. But I'm afraid I can't add multiple files at once. Is there a good alternative? ------------------------------Akitake OguchiTechnical ManagerAltair Engineering Inc.CHUO-KU81362255826-------------------------------------------------------------------------Original Message:Sent: 11-14-2019 03:45 AMFrom: Steve CaielsSubject: How to trap data from thousands of report files?Hi Akitake,If a single model or work space is suitable for all reports, then Monarch can process around 1000 reports in a single session.

Hi Akitake,Drag and Drop should do it. Just grab the files and make sure you drop them into the green highlight that will show up when you get the mouse over the original file.Regards,Steve, ------------------------------Steve CaielsProfessional ServicesAltair-------------------------------------------------------------------------Original Message:Sent: 11-20-2019 12:47 AMFrom: Akitake OguchiSubject: How to trap data from thousands of report files?Hi Steve,Thank you for your reply.
