Command line parameters for al_engine.exe

If you go to a command line window on a DS server and type al_engine.exe with no parameters it prints "Usage" information. Some of the parameters it mentions are known to the community (like -XX, -XI, etc). However there are some which sound pretty interesting, but I can't find any information or examples how it should be used. Examples:
-L<list of value> : List of Object Labels from UI (separated by , or ; or space) to filter.
-Je<XML file> Execute the Installation scenario defined in XML file.
-jd"datastore delta file in quotes>" : Modify datastore values using "file"
-Jf, -Ja, -We, and many more.
I am particularily interested in -Je functiohnality - it sounds like it can be used to automate deployment. I am using import/export options to do some automation, but real automation would include deletion of some objects, adding jobs to projects, etc.
Can anybody help with the documentation/examples?

The preferred way is to save your workflow as an application and then call usr/bin/open on it. If for some reason you must have the workflow run inside of Automator (not self-contained) then you're looking at some quality time with man osascript. As it happens Apple has removed even the need for Cron for most users. A click to File -> Save As Plug-In -> for iCal handles it from start to finish.
Edit: I forgot to mention that Automator has its own simple command line utility for running *.workflow files. Check out man automator

Command Line Parameters for spotify.exe? (Windows 7)

I've been trying to use Windows Speech Recognition to open music. The problem is, the WSR Macros only open the executable then ask you if you want to run the program with command-line parameters. What I want to do is say the album or the artist then have Spotify open and play that artist/album; I can't do that until I figure out how to open spotify with parameters, if there are even any. Thanks for your help. (I also know how Spotify has had multiple suggestions for this to be integrated in the application itself, but I'm trying to just use Windows Speech Recog)

Command line parameters for automator?

I'm trying to setup a cron job to so that every morning at 8 am "New Mail.workflow" will open and run. I'm able to get it to open but I was wondering if there were command line parameters for Automator that could open AND run a workflow file? Ideally I'd like it to close after running, but I'll worry about that later. Thanks in advance.

Adobe DNG Converter - command-line parameters for new 1.4 features

Adobe DNG Converter - I need to know what the command-line parameters are for the new DNG-1.4 options (e.g. lossy compression).
Last I checked, there was no updated documentation released - would somebody please help?
Rob

By inspecting strings in the exe file using ProcessExplorer (MS SysInternals), I found these command-line switches for controlling lossy compression:
-lossy
-size
-count
A D O B E
Adobe: please take a moment and update the command-line documentation - thanks.

Command Line Parameters for Run Application.vi in the LVWUtil

I am trying to use the "Run Application.vi" located in the LVWUtil.llb. I am sending a command line similiar to this:
"C:\WINXP\system32\msiexec.exe" /i "C:\qc data\ZVMS Program Updates\Application Installer\install.msi"
this command line works from the Start>Run dialog but the Run Application.vi only sees the beginning of the line "C:\WINXP\system32\msiexec.exe" so it opens the windows installler but does not go to the install.msi file and run it. Does anyone know the correct command line formats for the Run Application.vi to run the entire command line?
Thanks,
BethV

Hello BethV,
I downloaded the LVWUtil32.zip file from the Windows API Function Utilities (32-bit) for LabVIEW example program. In that zip file, is a library entitled Winevent.lib, which includes the Run Application.vi. When you used this VI, I believe the string you passed in as a input had too many quotation marks. Namely, you do not need quotes around the msiexec.exe call. I passed the following string into the Run Application.vi and got the expected results:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe /i "C:\mymsi.msi"
Please let me know if it helps.

Command line parameters for OMBPlus?

Hi,
Is it possible to pass command line parameters to TCL scripts running in OMBPlus.sh, and if so, can someone provide an example?
I'm able to use the argv0 variable to get the script name itself but not sure how to get any other additional parms...
Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
If you are building command-line scripts to automate OMB+ commands, there is another factor you should be aware of. If your script errors out cleanly, the OMBPlus.sh does NOT pass this back to the shell. The return code is evaluated within OMBPlus as the return from a "source" command and then OMBPlus exits normally.
For example:
#file test.tcl
return -code error
Unix/shell> OMBPlus.sh test.tcl
Unix/shell> echo $?
0What I do to pass an error state back to the shell is to create a flag file in my script if exiting due to error. My shell script deletes this file prior to running the script and then tests for it after the run as part of the conditional logic
Function in tcl file:
#Get location where this script installed
#This variable is set at the top of the script.
set theScriptDir [ file dirname [info script]]
#If we want to bail in the script at any point we call exit_failure with an appropriate error message
proc exit_failure { msg } {
   global theScriptDir
   set ERRFLAGFILE "$theScriptDir/ers_owb_import.error"
#rollback any uncommitted work
   OMBROLLBACK
#Log the error and exit
   set fout [open "$ERRFLAGFILE" a+]
   puts $fout "Error:-> $msg"
   close $fout
   # return and also bail from calling function
   return -code error
}And my shell script does something like:
cd ${JOB_DIR}
rm -f ers_owb_import.error 2>/dev/null
echo \\nBegining Uninstall of OWB Project
./OMBPlus.sh ${JOB_DIR}/my_tcl_Script.tcl
if [ -f ${JOB_DIR}/ers_owb_import.error ] ; then
      echo \\nERROR - SCRIPT FAILED
else
     echo \\nScript Succeeded.
     # script logic continues....
fiCheers,
Mike

Passing command line parameters to flash .EXE (AS2)

Hi,
I currently have a bunch of Flash clips in .swf that get variables passed from Javascript on a remotely hosted web server. They need those variables to work.
I'm trying to create a local version using those same Flash clips, compiled into .EXEs instead of .SWF files so people who do not have flash installed can run them as well.
I'm trying to write a loader application that will take care of logging people in to their web accounts and launching the flash .EXEs. But I need to pass the EXEs the same variables I used to pass them via javascript. Is there a command line way to pass variables into the flash .EXE so they are useable with AS2 (via _root or otherwise...)?
I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere...
Thanks,
Imperio

Hi Yves,
I tried what you mentioned
Here's what I have added to the ANT file:
<fx:application id="Hello">
</fx:application>
<fx:jvmuserarg name="-Dhelloproperty=" value="32"/>
Here's what I added in registry inder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\Hello\/J/V/M/User/Options
value name = '-/Dhelloproperty='
value data ='abcd'
The value from the registry never gets printed.
This is what I get when I print the value via sysout (so registry value is not used)
-Dhelloproperty=32
-Dapp.preferences.id=Hello
Here`s the method to print the params:
private static void runtimeParameters() {
          RuntimeMXBean bean = ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean();
          List<String> aList = bean.getInputArguments();
          for (String s:aList) {
            System.out.println( s );
Can you please provide me with your example if possible.
My OS is Win 7 Pro 32 bits, what`s yours?
Thanks,
Carl

Portege Z10T - command-lines documentation for tinstallwb.exe (TVAP)

Does anyone have any documentation on the command-lines for tinstallwb.exe, or know the switch to grab these?
I need to do some logging during the install.
We're evaluation the Z10t, and want to installing the Toshiba Value Added Package via SCCM during our deployment task sequence. I've doing the same thing for the Z930 successfully.
I'm using the latest version (1.6.0035.6406) of the TVAP.
After extracting the contents of tc30573300f.exe, the command I'm using is "tinstallwb.exe -s -sms". While that works within my vbscript wrapper, it's failing during the actual deployment. If I could start logging, I could see what's going wrong.
I've tried just installing \TVAP\TOSHIBA Value Added Package.msi, but even though that installs succesfully, those flashcards never appear when pressing Fn keys.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately, such documentation isnt available.
I also did not find any tips to install the VAP from the command line
But the package contains some other exe files like setup.exe or install.exe
Did you test the installation using these files?

Command Line Parameters for Silent Install with Status for BI4.0 Products

For the XI3.1 product installations, which clearly leveraged MSIEXEC installation files, it was possible to use the /qb+ command line parameter to trigger a silent install which showed the progress of the installation with a final prompt to acknowledge the completion of the installation.
For the new BI4.0 installation package, it's not clear how to trigger a silent installation which also shows the installation progress. The installation guide describes using -q in the command line to run a silent installation, or leveraging a response.ini file to trigger a silent install, but in neither case does it show how to modify the silent installation command to enable a display of the installation progress.
Does anyone know the syntax, either command line or embedded in a response.ini file, to trigger a silent installation for the BI4.0 products which ALSO shows the progress of the installations?
Thanks,
Josh

Yes, I've tried the same switch that I used for the XI3.1 installations, namely "/qb". In XI3.1 I was able to use this switch either directly in the MSIEXEC command line or in the Response.ini file as "QUIET=/qb". In either case, this switch resulted in a silent install that showed a progress bar window for the installation, completing with a confirmation prompt indicating that the installation had completed.
Neither approach works with the BI4.0 installation packages. My suspicion is that SAP has switched to a different installation engine as I can't find the typical .msi installation files that would indicate this is a MSIEXEC installation. I'm hoping someone knows what type of installation engine is being used and what the switching syntax is for silent installs. But it can't be a completely transparent silent install (I know how to do this); it must provide an option to show an installation progress bar.
Thanks,
Josh

Command line parameters to print to a file

Hello
is there a command line parameter for acrord32.exe to specify a filename to print to - just as if i ticked the box in the print dialog to print to a physical file?
If not does anyone know how i can do that?
Thanks

Asserts are disabled by default. Use the -ea switch to enable asserts or -da to explicitly disable them.
You can find documentation about the assertion facility at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/lang/assert.html

Command line parameters and resuming

Hi,
I am researching for a client who wishes to have several students (K-12) using Adobe Captivate course on the same computer. Another constraint is that a course is run from DVD (1+ GB in size) so it's published as standalone application (.exe for Windows, .app for Mac). Quick questions:
Can a course have an action to parse command line parameters? I haven't found that.
Explanation: this would be used to simply parse a name and e-mail address (if possible) and last module passed to a course player. Resuming could be disabled (there is an answer how to do that in the forum) or overridden but the learner should be transferred to a slide to resume based on the calling parameter (and not the default resuming - there will be several users so each must resume from the last passed module slide).
Can a progress of the current learner using the course be saved to a database (no LMS, e-mail, Acrobat.com etc)?
Explanation: this is needed for the current learner and for each one separately. I guess I already have a solution in mind (custom application, having small internal web server like Mongoose, with a script that replaces internalServerReporting.php and saves the data to a internal database, SQLite). But for this to work spawning a course with command line parameters and course itself reading these parameters would need to work.
If there is a (better) solution for the above, please reply. The goal is have minimal changes on the course e.g. if there are command line parameters, then parse them and do something (mark modules passed, open appropriate next slide). If parameters are not given/recognized, do nothing (so the course would still work on computers used by one learner only, including resuming etc).
My opinion is that this should also be one-way as much as possible. E.g. additional application handles user name, e-mail and current progress and spawns Captivate course. The published course itself should not depend on the application like reading progress from a text file (though an URL call could return current progress from an application for the same user name). So ideally only changes to use internal server publishing to save current progress and adding a logic to check parameters at start would be applied to a course.
Waiting for your smart answers.
Matt

DVDs, when finalized, are read-only... so unless you are considering to do an Install of the course from the DVD to the machine, you're not going to be able to write to a database. A USB stick may be more suitable in this situation.
Command line params are not possible with EXEs unless you create your own EXE wrapper. If you're going to go through that trouble, you'd be better off creating an Adobe Air application that can run your local web content without security restrictions and use SQLite or some other backend to store the data.
Can the progress be saved? It depends what you mean by progress. If you just want to allow the student to resume from the slide where they left off... you can do that with a bit of JavaScript. However, if you want to ensure that any previous questions answered on a quiz were also resumed and intact from the previous session... not possible without an LMS.
Why not run a Moodle installation via a USB stick and you can have a full featured LMS with a database and ability to resume a previous session?
http://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Installation_guide_-_Moodle_for_Windows_on_a_USB_Memory_Stick
Just some things to consider...

Edit command line parameters without restarting LabVIEW

Is there a way to edit the command line parameters passed to a VI WITHOUT having to restart LabVIEW? Perhaps I'm accustomed to how it works in just about every other development environment, but having to do so is quite frustrating.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

ronbrown wrote:
I'm just surprised that LabVIEW doesn't have just a simple "command line parameters" option somewhere in the VI options for debugging purposes, just like Visual Studio and other deveopment environments.
If memory serves, Visual Studio runs the compiled program as a separate process. That should make it easier to give it separate switches. In LabVIEW, if you let the user change the parameters, you would have to do some conflict resolution, since this is a global setting (e.g. did the changes you make affect everything or a single VI/hierarchy/app instance, are the original switches lost or can you get them back somehow and when).
If you want a workaround, I suggest you create a simple subVI with a 1D array output and a 1D array control on its FP or BD. If the control has something in it, use it. Otherwise, use the CLA[] property. Alternatively, you can check if you're running in the IDE or use a boolean, etc. Personally, the only time I think I needed to use switches, I believe the code was simple and I simply tested it by building the EXE. It probably took longer to figure out that I needed to explicitly turn on CLA support for the EXE than the actual testing.
Try to take over the world!
