Command Line Automation

When you purchase the "Professional Version" of Auto Limited Access, another feature that is available is the ability to perform updates via command line automation. This is useful in cases where you may make frequent changes to the Access Settings file and need to perform a "Run Now" to update the database. By using a command line switch you could automate this process by having something such as AutoAdmin launch the command line utility at a scheduled time to avoid having to constantly load the application and choose "Run Now". This would ensure that changes to your limited access rules are processed on your own schedule.

IMPORTANT:

►	This feature can ONLY update the entire database and not a "Current Lookup".

Here is a list of switches you can use in the command line to automate Auto Limited Access. These are also found in the "Read Me" file found in the program directory for Auto Limited Access.

/D:<database pad file>

/U:<Username>

/P:<password>

/E:<entity type>

Contact, Group or Company

/R:<true/false for Territory Realignment>

NOTE: Must be licensed for the professional version

/L:<true/false to create a log>

Here is an example of what you might see used in a command line for Auto Limited Access:

"C:\Program Files\ASDS\AutoLimitedAccess\AutoLimitedAccess.exe" /D:"C:\act\my database.pad" /U:"Chris Huffman" /P:"my password" /E:Contact /R:true /L:true

IMPORTANT:

►	You must put quotes around your parameters, as shown above, if your parameter contains a space.
