Command-line operations and arguments

The following command-line parameters can be used to automate Digital Data Manager functions. Multiple commands in a script must be separated by spaces. (See following page for error codes and messages.)

Command		Description
Command-line help:
-?	Displays the following list of Data Manager command-line parameters.
Command-line operations:
-export	Export order list(s) using the current configuration. The application
	automatically exits after the operation is performed (see show_success and
	show_failure arguments).
-export_pull	Export pull list(s) using the current configuration. The application
	automatically exits after the operation is performed (see show_success and
	show_failure arguments).
-import	Import item information using the current configuration. The application
	automatically exits after the operation is performed (see show_success and
	show_failure arguments).
-clear_database	Clear the internal database. The application automatically exits after the
	operation is performed (see show_success and show_failure arguments).
Command-line arguments that modify normal behavior:
-no_splash	Omits the splash screen during startup.
-show_display	Shows the user interface during execution of a command-line operation. The
	application will close automatically after a command-line operation is
	performed unless show_success or show_failure is specified and invoked.
-show_success	Shows the user interface after successful completion of a command-line
	operation. The application must be closed manually.
-show_failure	Shows the user interface after an unsuccessful completion of a command-line
	operation. The application must be closed manually.
-overwrite_import	Allows an export operation to overwrite unimported data on the export target,
	without prompting the user.
-overwrite_pull_results	Allows an export operation to overwrite unimported pull results on the export
	target, without prompting the user.
-ignore_dla_software_	Allows an export operation to continue after failing to export the DLA software,
export_failure	without prompting the user.
-on_startup "task"	Specifies a task, with optional parameters, to be executed at startup before
	the application is fully initialized. If any of the tasks fail, the application will not
	start. This argument may be specified multiple times to define multiple on-
	startup tasks. The tasks are executed in the order they appear on the
	command line.
-on_exit "task"	Specifies a task, with optional parameters, to be executed upon exiting the
	application when there are no errors (the application exit code is 0). This
	argument may be specified multiple times to define multiple on-exit tasks. The
	tasks are executed in the order they appear on the command line.
-on_failure "task"	Specifies a task, with optional parameters, to be executed upon exiting the
	application with errors (the application exit code is not 0). This argument may
	be specified multiple times to define multiple on-failure tasks. The tasks are
	executed in the order they appear on the command line.
