CLIENT PARAMETERS

Pietro Di Cino

Dear BoardFriends, 

is possible to have a short guide about the parameters applicable to Board Client? 

I.e. / mutiinstance is applicable to have more Board instance but exists other ones?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Pietro,

 

you can also use /chooseclient if you have different versions of BOARD to which you want to connect to. Requirement is the autoupdate mode. Then a Popup will ask you which version of BOARD you want to start.

Other parameters can be used to open a specific capsule or screen directly.

 

Here from the technical article:

 

To open a Capsule from a command line, run

BoardWinClient.exe

with the following optional switches

 

Specify the host to connect to

 

/host "server_ip_addr:port"

Specify a host and port number which are not defined in the list of connections of your Board Client. In this case you specify the logon account either using the switch /sso which uses single sign-on (therefore it will use the Windows current user account) or using the switches /user and /password described hereafter.

Specify the user credentials

/username "myname" /password "mypassword"

Allows to type a given username and password

Specify the capsule to open

/capsule "FolderMyCapsule.cpsx"

To open a capsule located on the server, where Folder is the path starting from BoardCapsules.

 

Specify a screen to open, other than the default home screen

/screen "MyScreen"

Force the Board Client program to close immediately after triggering a procedure

/unattended

Wow, thanks a lot for this great suggestion.

Does it exist a command to “force” the version to be used?

Thanks.

Hi Pietro,

 

if you want to open a specific Version from your autoupdate Client you can use the specific .exe in your %appdata% Folder:
