For standalone clients, program options are treated as command line options.
For browser clients, when the Presentation Client is started as an applet, program options are treated as parameters. These parameters are used as the mechanism to start the Presentation Client when a user selects a link in an HTML page to establish a connection to a specific system.
The following table describes the program options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| config | Identifies the name and location of the configuration file. |
| system | Identifies the system whose parameters is the default when the Presentation Client is started, as defined in the configuration file. |
| location | Identifies the position on the screen where the top left of the main application window is displayed, relative to the top left of the screen. Specify an integer representing the top left x co-ordinate and an integer representing the top left y co-ordinate separated by an ’x’. The default is -1x-1, which centers the window. |
| size | Specifies the height and width of the main application window. Specify an integer representing the width and an integer representing the height separated by an ’x’. The default is 775x525. |
| fullScreen | If true, the application window fills the screen. The location and size parameters is ignored. The default is false. |
For backward compatibility, many configuration parameters available in the configuration file can also be included as program options; however, their intended use is in the configuration file. The parameters available are those listed for the configuration root node, system node, and login node of the Configuration Assistant. Refer to Using the Agile Business Suite Presentation Client for more information on these parameters.
If a configuration file is specified using the config option and one or more configuration parameters are also specified, the configuration file takes precedence and most of the configuration parameters in the program options are ignored. The exceptions are the logLevel, logFile, and downloadDir parameters, which take precedence over the settings in the configuration file.
