Hey all, I'm configuring a 'Backup' machine that has two different IWS applications. I'd like to have two different icons on the desktop for the user to choose from. Can this be done by redirecting the Startup.exe somehow?
It would be simplest if RunStudio.exe accepts a command line parameter for the application to run. I haven't tried this, but it is simple enough to do.
There is no mention in the Technical Reference of command line options. In fact, there is only a fleeting mention to RunStudio.exe in the FAQ.
Just create two shortcuts to the *.app files on your pc and put them on your desktop. You can choose which exe runs for the app file type in Folder options. ie RunStudio.exe or RunStartUp.exe.
I'm still wondering if there is a reasonable method for passing run-time parameters to an Indusoft application.
I have a small group of individual applications which could very simply be replaced by a single application if parameters could be readily passed to Indusoft.
I could arrange to do this via a tailored database arrangement ... but that seems unnecessarily complex ... as the applications don't required database access for any other reason.
Perhaps I could make use of system environment variables or something similar? Has anyone else had a similar requirement and come up with a workable solution?
