Startup Parameters

First Topic  Previous Topic  Next Topic

Before starting, Solea can accept some parameters in its shortcut as startup parameters. For example; if you are in trouble to enter user name and password every time you start Solea, you can define them as parameters. After installing Solea, these 2 parameters are used by default.

 

In order to define startup parameters, do the following steps:

 

Open the Popup Menu of shortcut of Client Application (It is on the desktop by default)

Click the "Properties"

Be sure that the "Shortcut" tab is pressed in the window opened.

Modify the string in "Target" box by adding the parameters you want.

 

Solea can accept 6 different startup parameters. The s, d and n parameters are designed for special purposes. Unless you are thinking to connect more than one Solea Server, or to use more than one database from your computer, you will never need these parameters.

 

Each parameter is specified with an indicator (one letter). You must use the parameters just you need. The order of parameters is not important. Indicators may be in upper or lower cases, they are not case-sensitive.
