Command Line Parameter Step

Configuration​

This will then open the configuration window where you need to enter in the name of the parameter that will be passed from the command line. By default an error will be thrown if the value is empty however you can disable this by unchecking the checkbox.

Configuration Window

The step will then be added to the bottom of your project, move this to where you need it to be, set the run condition and save the project.

Using the Step​

To use the step you will need to start the project from the command line and enter in your property at the same time.

The Run Tool supports any of the following options to set the properties: -p:, /p:, -property: or /property:

Your script to start the project and set a property could look similar to:

 C:\Program Files\Simego\Data Synchronisation Studio 3.0\Simego.DataSync.Run.exe "project.dsrun" -e -p:value=myvalue

In the step configuration you would have passed the name value into the text box.
