NX10/NX12 Python NXOpen Batch File Differences?

Journaling / NXOpen API

I have been programming in NX10's Python NXOpen API successfully using the "run_journal" batch process command. I have currently switched from NX10 to NX12 and have not been able to successfully run the "run_journal" executable as a batch file. In my command prompt, I can see the journal executable running but it never enters my script almost as if it is stuck when calling run_journal.exe. All of my environment variables have been set just as in the NX10 simulation. Is there any insight on this issue? Have some environment variables changed or been added?

Thank you,
Sam

Starting with NX 11, some utilities that were in the UGII folder are now located in a folder called "NXBIN". The "run_journal" utility can be found in this folder now; if your script points to the UGII folder, it won't find it.

Thanks for your response, i did previously have my run_journal path set to the NXBIN directory. The problem ended up not being with the journal command, but my numpy library. After a bit more digging, it was freezing at the "import numpy" module. The problem was fixed after I updated numpy to the most recent version.

Thanks,
Sam
