35.1 Command-Line Reference¶
Parameters for starting Acinta's programs from shortcuts, scripts or the command prompt. Put parameters with spaces in quotes.
Datashop.exe¶
| Parameter | Effect |
|---|---|
edition=1 |
Start Datashop Expert (remembered for later starts) |
edition=3 |
Start Datashop Workbook (remembered) |
projects=<path> |
Use this project registration file – see 30.2 |
<file>.acproj |
Open this project file (Datashop Expert) |
/regserver /com=enable |
Register Datashop's COM server (done by the installer; needs administrator rights) |
/unregserver /com=enable |
Unregister it |
edition=2 (the discontinued Professional edition) starts Expert (build 20086 and later). So does Datashop started via COM without a stored edition.
Example:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Acinta\Datashop.exe" edition=1 "projects=\\server\acinta\projects.dspx"
Hold Shift while Datashop starts to get the login dialog instead of the automatic Windows-name login – see 32.2 Security and Data Access.
Modeller.exe¶
| Parameter | Effect |
|---|---|
admin |
Restart Modeller with administrator rights (Windows asks for permission) |
projects=<path> |
Use this project registration file |
EnterpriseManager.exe¶
| Parameter | Effect |
|---|---|
/serverconfig |
Open Project and mail settings, then exit |
/testmail |
Send a test e-mail, then exit |
projects=<path> |
Use this project registration file |
/projectconfig (Jump Start Wizard) doesn't work in the current version.
AcintaServer.exe¶
| Parameter | Effect |
|---|---|
| (none, first start) | Without AcintaServer.msx: a setup wizard for the project file, service account and mail settings |
/install |
Register the Windows service |
/uninstall |
Remove the service |
/reinstall |
Remove and register again |
/install /SSNoDefaultAccount: /USER:<DOMAIN\user> /PASSWORD:<password> |
Register the service to run as a specific account |
Stop the service before /install or /uninstall – while it runs, a second AcintaServer.exe exits without doing anything.
Usually it's easier to control the service with Windows' own commands (as administrator):
net stop SvcSaturnServer
net start SvcSaturnServer
or Services in Windows (the service is called Acinta Server). Avoid passing passwords on the command line where others can see the process list; set the service account in Services instead.
