Usage 



Startup Parameters/Switches/Options may be specified by command-line arguments, in the Shortcut, or in the options file. Parameters applied to the shortcut will only apply when that shortcut is used. Parameters in the options file apply to everyone who starts the program.



In the shortcut, they take the form of:

**-//parameter//``[``://value//``]``**



Example:



[[code_formatdos]]



"C:\...\Cyrious\Control\Control.exe" -PortOffset:1024 -hp2600fix



[[code]]



In the options file:

**//parameter//``[``//value//``]``**



Example:



[[code]]



PortOffset2



HP2600Fix



BackDate1



NickName"Cognac"



[[code]]



> //Note: The options file resides in the directory with the program and takes the form **_Options.txt**//



Parameter List 



||~ Parameter ||~ Default ||~ Control or SSLIP Options File? ||~ Meaning ||
|| AllowMultiLogin || 0 ||   || Allows users to open multiple copies of Control under the same Windows login. ||
|| AltPortOffset ||   ||   ||   ||
|| BackDate || 0 ||   || Enabled the Backdating Option to be turned on. Once turned on, this option is no longer necessary but it won't show up in the menu initially without this being set ||
|| C3SServiceFilePath ||   ||   || Used to direct C3S towards the correct location of the C3SHost.exe file. ||
|| CacheCrystalReports ||   ||   || //Removed from Control since the introduction of the Report Viewer (version 05.10.1512.????)// ||
|| CacheSize ||   ||   ||   ||
|| CacheVersion || 0.0 || Control || The CacheVersion is used as additional validation for the Control Cache. By changing this option, you can invalidate all copies of cache without having to delete them off every client. This is helpful after running update queries or restoring a backup, when the data cached may not match the database. ||
|| CCAlwaysAddTax || 0 ||   || The total price of the payment must not change. This does not apply to Online Payments (CCPS) ||
|| ChapiURL || http://computername:port ||   || Ability to specify alternate port for CHAPI to SSLIP Communication. See [[chapi_-_chapiurl_startup_option|ChapiURL Startup Option]] for more detail. ||
|| CheckCrystalReportDrivers ||   ||   ||   ||
|| CheckVersionCompatibility ||   ||   || Used to allow minor version changes between the SSLIP.exe and Control.exe files. ||
|| DatabaseName || Chapi.dbo.DatabaseRecs.Name ||   || Allows multiple sslips to communicate with a single Chapi instance. It must be added to the shortcut or options file. Make sure you use the Name the Chapi.DatabaseRecs table and not the Database Name that is attached to SQL. I also recommend creating Names in the Chapi.DatabaseRecs without spaces. ||
|| Debug://type// ||   ||   || Where //type// is a valid type of debug message. The messages will be displayed by a SSLIP popup and saved to SSLIP_Debug.log ||
|| DebugOnlineTaxes || 0 ||   || Creates additional logs of Avalara online tax transactions ||
|| Delay ||   ||   || Time in seconds that it will delay the actual startup of the SSLIP after you attempt to launch the file SSLIP.exe, as well as Control.exe. Add this to SSLIP_Options.txt to only delay the startup of the SSLIP. ||
|| DisableBackgroundProcesses || 0 || SSLIP || When true, Macros, Recurring Activities, WebView, Production Terminal, Rollover Activities, and Recreation of SQL Functions are disabled in the SSLIP. ||
|| DomainAutoLogin || 0 || SSLIP || //Available in Control 5.5 and later.// Enables automatic logins when using the Domain Login feature ||
|| DomainAutoLoginWait || 1 || Control || //Available in Control 5.55T and later.// When DomainAutoLogin is enabled, this option specifies the amount of time, in seconds, the progress popup displays, allowing the user time to cancel the autologin. ||
|| EnableCRIX ||   ||   || Enabled the CRIX service ||
|| EnableDomainLogins || 1 || SSLIP || //Available in Control 5.5 and later.// Enabled the Windows Domain Logins. Set this to 0 if this feature is not desired ||
|| ErrorReportAddress ||   ||   || Email address for the Error Reporting ||
|| ErrorReportNickName ||   ||   || Send From Name for the Error Reporting. This is used mostly by Cyrious internal to distinguish error reports from test systems and those from live systems. ||
|| ExcludeNewFromRefresh || 0 ||   || This will prevent new records from sending refresh messages to other clients when they are created. This will cause new order/estiamte/customer macros to not work on the server, but otherwise should have no affect. ||
|| ExecuteQueriesIndividually || 0 ||   || By default, Control sends multiple queries to SQL to execute together (reducing the execution setup times). Setting this to true forces each SQL to be sent individually (which is slower). ||
|| FranchiseOV ||   ||   ||   ||
|| FullConversionOptions ||   ||   ||   ||
|| HP2600Fix || 0 ||   || Activates a fix for certain printers. For more information, see: \\ [[http://support.cyriouswiki.com/Control+Error+-+Floating+Point+Overflow]] ||
|| IDE || 0 ||   || This option is used for internal testing by Cyrious and activates some additional menu options. ||
|| IsInIDE || 0 ||   || Similar to IDE above, but used internally in a few different places. ||
|| InstallSQLBridge || 0 ||   || Used in multiple SSLIPs/1 database environment. Set to 1 on Main SSLIP and 0 on secondary SSLIPs. ||

|| LogCHAPI || 1 || SSLIP || The above example enables the CHAPI/SSLIP logging. See [[chapi_-_logchapi_startup_option|LogCHAPI Startup Option]] for more detail. \\ **//REMEMBER TO TURN OFF CHAPI LOGGING WHEN FINISHED USING IT, IT WILL TAKE UP UNNECESSARY DISK SPACE//** ||

|| LogRefreshes ||   ||   ||   ||
|| LogRollOver ||   ||   ||   ||
|| LogVersionWarnings || 1 ||   || If disabled (0), Control won't log messages about table version numbers being off (which is caused when different versions of Control are run on the same database). ||

The value indicates the number of seconds considered to be a long wait. Any wait longer than this duration will be logged. See [[control_startup_options_-_longwaitlogtime|LongWaitLogTime]] for more detail. ||
|| MWTimeout || 30 ||   || //Obsolete as of Control 4.4// Sets the time (in seconds) before timing out due to no response when processing online credit cards with Merchant Warehouse ||
|| MWTargetNamespace || [[http://www.namespaceuri.com/Admin/ws]] ||   || //Available in Control 4.4.1002.1901 and later.// Sets the target namespace for the Merchant Warehouse 2.0 API.

|| NoIDE || 0 ||   || The opposite of IDE, this is used internally when developing the software to simulate NOT running in a development environment. ||
|| NoImages || 0 ||   || Disables images and the loading of system images from the database. ||
|| NoMemoryFlushing || 0 ||   || Prevents Control from periodically forcing memory to a swapfile and giving unused memory back to Windows ||
|| NoPrintFromCopy || 0 ||   || By default, Control copies on-drive reports to the users temp folder before opening. This prevents multiple users from opening the same report, which can cause Crystal errors. This should only be enabled for report development purposes when only one user is accessing the system at a time. ||
|| NoReportReuse || 0 ||   || By default, Control caches on-drive and system reports in the users temp folder. When printing it checks for a recent cached copy and uses it if found. This option disables this option. ||
