Parameters, logs and exit codes

The command line interface requires the name of the export settings file as the first parameter e.g.

Settings file name: mandatory

SQLImageViewerCmd "g:\export\settings.siv"
 

/LOG: optional

The command line interface will save a log of the export events to the Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Yohz\SQL Image Viewer\Log
folder. You can save an additional copy of the log to a file name of your choice. You do this by using the /LOG parameter e.g.

SQLImageViewerCmd "g:\export\settings.siv" /LOG "x:\export\exportlog.txt"
 

/ERRORLOG: optional

You can also save only errors and warnings to a log file. You do this by using the /ERRORLOG parameter e.g.

SQLImageViewerCmd "g:\export\settings.siv" /ERRORLOG "x:\export\exportlog_errors.txt"
 

The command line interface returns with exit code 0 when no errors or warnings are encountered. If any warnings were raised, exit code 1 is returned. Exit code 2 is returned when errors were raised.

/NODEFAULTLOG: optional

You can also choose to not create the default log file. You do this by using the /NODEFAULTLOG parameter e.g.

SQLImageViewerCmd "g:\export\settings.siv" /NODEFAULTLOG
 

/KEEPLOGS: optional

The default log files will accumulate over time. You can choose to delete old log files using the /KEEPLOGS parameter. In the following example:

SQLImageViewerCmd "g:\export\settings.siv" /KEEPLOGS 1
 

will delete log files older than a day in the default log folder. You can also specify the age in hours, using the h suffix e.g.

SQLImageViewerCmd "g:\export\settings.siv" /KEEPLOGS 6h
 

In this case, SQL Image Viewer will delete log files older than 6 hours in the default log folder.
