The EntireX Workbench can also be used from a command line. The command entered depends on your operating system.
Under Windows, the command line is available with the starter workbench.bat.
Under Linux, the command line is available with script workbench.bsh.
Under both operating systems, the command line is also available with the command for Eclipse using the Java Runtime.
In all alternatives, a command is followed by a list of file names and a
list of options. The file names may contain an asterisk (*) as a wildcard. The
options are key-value pairs, where the key starts with a hyphen. The command
selects the Wrapper or Extractor to use. The detailed options for each command
are described in the respective Wrapper or Extractor section. Using
-help as command lists all available commands with a short
description. Using -help <command> lists the options of the
command.
For a detailed description of each Wrapper or Extractor, see the
documentation of this component. Throughout these detailed descriptions we use
<workbench> as a general placeholder for the
actual starter of the Workbench. This can be workbench.bat,
workbench.bsh, or the Eclipse starter.
Enter the following command, replacing <EntireX HOME> with your EntireX installation directory:
<EntireX
HOME>\bin\workbench.bat
<command> [
<file> [
<file> ... ] ]
[<options>] |
This is the preferred method to start the EntireX Workbench. Alternatively, you can start the EntireX Workbench with
"%ECLIPSE_HOME%\eclipsec" -application
com.softwareag.entirex.ide.eclipse.EntireXCommand -data %WORKSPACE% -nosplash
<command> [
<file> [
<file> ... ] ]
[<options>] |
| where | ECLIPSE_HOME |
is the Eclipse installation directory |
WORKSPACE |
is the Eclipse workspace directory. |
Enter the following command:
/opt/softwareag/EntireX/bin/workbench.bsh
<command> [
<file> [
<file> ... ] ]
[<options>] |
or
eclipse -vm $ECLIPSE_HOME/bin/ -application
com.softwareag.entirex.ide.eclipse.EntireXCommand -data $WORKSPACE -nosplash
<command> [ <file> [ <file> ... ] ] [<options>] -vmargs
-Dentirex.license=/opt/softwareag/EntireX/common/conf/LKey/exx97.xml |
| where | ECLIPSE_HOME |
is the Eclipse installation directory |
WORKSPACE |
is the Eclipse workspace directory. |
