Start Parameters (Processes)
Start parameters of processes
Start parameters can be used to start processes. During the process configuration, these parameters are defined by means of the button Parameters in the configuration dialog box or in file Start Parameters (Processes)#default.arg. The parameters may be set also in the registry on a computer with D2000 Server to which the process is connecting.
The following table includes the overview of the start parameters for processes.
Parameter | Parameter validity | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
/? /h | All client processes of the D2000 system | Displays the list of permissible parameters along with an explanation of their meaning for the existing process. |
/AF<Method> | D2000 HI, D2000 GrEditor, D2000 CNF, D2000 Application Manager, D2000 DDE Server, D2000 System Console, D2000 Tell, D2000 Browser | Forces another authentication method for verification of a user's identity than the authentication method required by the process D2000 Server. To use a specific authentication method, it must be permitted for the in his configuration (parameter Authentication methods). |
/AN<Name> | Name is the name of a D2000 system user for automatic login into the process after starting the process. If the /AP parameter is not entered, the name is added into the login window and a password will be required. | |
--ANONYMIZEPERIOD=<seconds> | The parameter sets time period in seconds of anonymization and table rows deletion. Default value is 3600 seconds (1 hour). | |
--ANSI | D2000 GateWay Client, D2000 GateWay Server | The parameter enforces the Windows 1250 encoding for transmitted texts. If it is not entered, the texts use UTF8 encoding. The parameter must be used providing that the communication partner is of older version than 9.X and the text values are transmitted. |
/AO<NameOfPicture> | NameOfPicture is the name of picture opened after +1. logon into the process | |
/AP<Password> | Password is the user's password for automatic login into the process after starting the process. /AP means that the password is an empty string. The parameter is also used when changing the access password to the configuration database by the kernel.exe process. | |
/AS | Disables the synchronization of bitmaps when starting the process. | |
/ASE | Enables switching the HOT server (manual or automatic). | |
/ASG<group> | Automatic HOT server switching. The parameter group defines the name of a redundant group. | |
/ASI<interval> | Automatic HOT server switching. The parameter interval defines the time interval, after the lapse of which the HOT server is to be switched. | |
/B<BkpNr> | BkpNr is the number of configuration database backups. Database backups is generated when starting the process. The parameter /B0 causes no generation of the backup. The number of backups (value of the parameter BkpNr) can be within 0...3. If the parameter is not entered, there are automatically used the parameters /B0 for the process D2000 Server. | |
--batch_mode | Parameter modifies an interpretation of DB_SET_PROCESS_PARAMS. | |
/C<ApplName> | Application name. | |
/CT | All client processes of D2000 system | The process will use the time of the computer, where it is started. If the parameter is not entered (Default), the process will use the time of the computer where the D2000 Server is running. |
/DBCA | The process D2000 Archiv in the active mode deletes old data from the archive database and reorganizes it (in redundant systems, the process must be also connected to HOT Server). | |
/DBCP | The process D2000 Archiv in the passive mode deletes old data from the archive database and reorganizes it (or passive mode in redundant systems, but the process must be connected to SBS Server). | |
/DBCS | D2000 Archiv (only for Oracle database) | The process D2000 Archiv will use ALTER TABLE SHRINK SPACE instead of SQL command ALTER TABLE MOVE for reorganization (this command is available only for Oracle 10g and above). |
/DBCY | Enables the reorganization of the archive database. If the process D2000 Archiv is not started with the parameter, the process deletes old data from the archive database but doesn't reorganize the archive tables (for reasons of backward compatibility before the implementation of the reorganization features). | |
/DBCY | Enables the debug information on the status of the Oracle cluster. Warning: The parameter can be used just for dbmanager_ora.exe. | |
/DBCP | Only in passive mode, the process D2000 Archiv can delete old data from the archive database and reorganize it (ORACLE). | |
/DBD<number_of_days> | The process D2000 Archiv limits the maximum archive depth to the number of days defined by the parameter <number_of_days>. | |
/DBD<version> | When the parameter is entered, the D2000 KOM process will report the specified version of the KomAPI interface (VerLo item in the InitParams structure) during the initialization of the OEM protocols. Attention - in fact the interface does not change, so OEM protocols may not work correctly if they use non-existent InitParams structure items or items that were moved or changed when the interface version was changed. | |
/DBD<number_of_requests> | The process D2000 DBManager will log performance warnings when a number of requests queued for a non-transactional connection exceed the value number_of_requests. This parameter can be used for performance tuning. More... | |
/DBIV<flag> | The process D2000 Archiv ignores all values with the same flag as defined by the parameter <flag>. | |
/DBPO | Activates the archive attribute (Archiv keeps only primary data). Requests for recalcs of the statistic and calculated archive objects are ignored. | |
/DBS<size> | Support for long strings (e.g. for working with CLOB columns of Oracle database). By default, D2000 DBManager works with strings up to 4000 characters long. With this parameter, a reserved maximum size for a string can be changed. | |
/DBSH | The process D2000 Archiv shares the archive database with another process D2000 Archiv (e.g. at work with database cluster). There are 2 possible configurations:
| |
/DBSH | The parameter is meaningful only in redundant systems.
When the server changes its status to HS again (resp. when the instance becomes active), the connections to the databases will be restored. | |
/DBSH | For Serial, Serial Line Redundant, and Modem communication lines, it causes the serial port to be closed if the D2000 KOM process is connected to the SBS Server or if the D2000 KOM process becomes a passive instance. See note for more information. | |
/DBX | If the parameter is specified, when working with a PostgreSQL database with BLOB fields (BYTEA), these will be read/written in hexadecimal format - DbManager will convert individual letters into hex code according to the ASCII table, i.e. if the string "ABC" is in the BLOB, it will be read as "414243". | |
/DC | Disables the cache for pictures. The aim is to decrease the memory requirements of the process at the expense of slowing down the picture opening. | |
/DC | Disables trust checking of server TLS certificates on TCP/IP-TCP and TCP/IP-TCP Redundant lines. | |
--DEFAULT-TOOLBAR-COLOR | Paint toolbars using default grey color. If not specified, toolbars are painted white. | |
/DG | Decreases the memory requirements of the process at work with graphs at the expense of slowing down the drawing of graphs which contains a lot of data. | |
/DI | Shows specialized information (debug info) when starting the process. | |
/DL | Enables writing the contents of Listener window to *.LOG file (HI.LOG or GRE.LOG). | |
/DM<nickname> | Developer mode: enables the parallel running of several D2000 Server processes on one computer for development purposes. The value of <nickname> will be displayed in the topic of text console window of the D2000 Server process (if the console window is visible, see the parameter /X) and it will be also added to the name of shared memory used for interprocess communication. | |
/DP | Processes with text console | (Debug Pipe) – The process will display the course of communication with the D2000 Server. |
/DPA | Mode of receiving messages from the process D2000 Server: | |
/DUMP | All client processes of D2000 system | The monitoring process procdump.exe is started up along with the given process. It monitors the unhandled exceptions that may occur in the given process. If the process crashes due to this exception, a dump file is created in the log file of the D2000 system (subdirectory dumps). The dump file contains the information about the process at the time of its crash, from which a user may determine the reason for the crash.
|
/DW | Processes with text console | Not minimizing the text window of the process after starting. If the parameter is not defined, the window will be minimized after starting. |
/E+<debug_category> | All processes of the D2000 system | Enables (+) / disables (-) displaying of debug information of a given category (debug_category) at the start of the process. To enable/disable displaying of debug information and to view it you may also use the process D2000 System Console. Warning: Displaying debug information may cause system overload. |
/E+DBG.CHECK.OBJECTS | After the process D2000 Server has been started it executes the check of the configuration of all objects. | |
/E+DBG/E+RTM.USELOCALCACHE | It activates the use of the cache data that are transferred from the D2000 Server to D2000 HI. It enables, especially for slow networks (WiFi), to speed up the start of D2000 HI. The parameter must be entered when starting the process. When it is started for the first time, it creates the cache, which stores a lot of files into the localstore subdirectory (on the client-side) in the application directory (for example, one for each event and picture). | |
/F<Period> | All client processes of the D2000 system | The period is the sending period of WatchDog messages between the client process and the D2000 Server process. It is set in seconds, where zero means not sending the message. Default value is /F60. |
/FI | Timeout for processing a request. It is given in seconds. | |
/FM | Using this parameter the topology will use complete calculation instead of partial More.. | |
/FS | Time to display error report if attempting to establish a connection with D2000 Server has failed. The default value is 60 s. For the value of /FS0, there will be displayed neither the start window nor the error report. | |
--fullscreen | Switches to full-screen mode - it hides a header and toolbars of the main window and maximized dialog windows (pictures) as well. This functionality can be changed to a special mode of HI. See more in the chapter Specific displaying of HI. | |
/GTWC<ipAddress:portNr> | IP address and port of D2000 Gateway Server, to which D2000 Gateway Client connects to. The parameter may be specified several times (in systems with redundant networks and/or redundant D2000 Gateway Servers). | |
/GTWL<portNr> | TCP port to listen for incoming D2000 Gateway Clients. | |
/H | Increases the priority for D2000 Server. The result is to get a better response during communication with network client processes. | |
/HW | All client processes of the D2000 system | The parameter allows the process to log on to the WDDemon application that checks the functionality of client processes. |
/KA<ArchivSize> | The parameter enables a function of the KOM Archiv. <ArchivSize> is the size of archive file - buffer within the range of 1...400 megabytes. | |
/KC<ApplName> | The parameter is valid just for the process KOM with the function KOM Archiv, which is starting without the D2000 Server. | |
/KD<seconds> | This parameter is meaningful only for values that are acquired with timestamp information. |
