The OFF client program (OFF.exe) can be run from a Windows command prompt on the server running the application, or on a different Windows operating system connected to the server via a network. The OFF client program accepts its input from stdin, and directs output to stderr.
The following syntax is used to invoke the interfaces:
OFF.exe --view[<viewname>] [<input>]
Note: --view can be replaced with -v.
Where:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| <viewname> | The view with which you want to connect. |
| <input> | Command line input that is read by OFF.exe. It is possible to pipe a file containing OFF data |
The value of Glb.Stn is set to OFF for data entered through the Offline program. The value of Glb.Source is O (for Offline). Glb.Work should not be referenced by the Offline program. Glb.Priv is set to the same value as the originating user account.
