Command line options

DTM Data Generator supports following command line switches:

-r - if present, run specified or recent generation project at program startup.

-q - quit application after project execution.

-p - switch Performance Mode on.

-@ - use custom connection profile*.

-c - console mode*.

-s - silent mode: no output, logging only**.

* - supported by Enterprise and Professional versions only.
** - supported by Enterprise version only.

The console mode is a mode when the program doesn't open any dialogs and doesn't need any interference from the user. A project file for the console mode must be prepared and tested beforehand. The program will use recent database connection in console mode. This mode enables you to integrate the product with the Windows task schedule system as well as to execute projects prepared beforehand according to the schedule.

Connection profile can be created by Export button at the Connect Window.

Also you can use project name as a command line parameter.

Example: DG.EXE -r d:\MyProjects\FillClients.dgp -@d:\acc.conprof
