You must feed the NIPActivity a CATCommand GUID or a Knowledgeware Script Path. For example, to open a part and run a heal command: nipactivity catia new

CATCommandHeader header("HealGeometry");
pNIPAct -> AddCommand(header, "C:\MyScripts\HealRules.catvbs");

[Input Data] → [NIP Script / Batch Executable] → [CATIA Session (Background)] → [Output Files / Logs]

Instead of using CATStartBatch, you now instantiate CATNIPActivity. You must feed the NIPActivity a CATCommand GUID

CATNIPActivity *pNIPAct = new CATNIPActivity("MyBatchHealing");
pNIPAct -> SetMode(NIP_No_UI); // Crucial for "New" silent mode
