Using PeopleSoft Application Designer Command Line Parameters

PeopleSoft Application Designer offers a variety of command line parameters that you can use to control the database to which it connects. By using these parameters, you can automatically navigate to the part of the system that you need.

Use the values from the following tables to specify certain parameters.

Syntax

The following command line syntax applies to all actions identified in this topic:

PSIDE [-parameter value [-parameter value . . .]]

You can include as many or as few parameters as you need.

Each parameter starts with a hyphen (-) or a forward slash (/). The value for each parameter follows the hyphen or slash, separated by zero or more spaces. In general, the value does not need to have quotation marks around it, even if it has internal spaces: the system treats all text following the parameter as part of the value, up to the next parameter or the end of the command line.

Note: You must enclose a value in quotation marks only when it includes a hyphen or forward slash, or to include leading or trailing spaces. If the value itself includes a quotation mark character, precede the double quote with a backslash (\).

Important! Application Designer command line parameters are used extensively during upgrade and update procedures run through Change Assistant and PeopleSoft Update Manager. As such, the use of these options is documented primarily in the PeopleTools: Lifecycle Management Guide.
