Description

The COMMAND_FILE_PLAIN option specifies the file containing plain text values for command line option parameters.

Command files specify an additional source of command line options. Storing options in a file is useful in situations where it is not desirable to specify them on the command line. The application reads the file and processes the options exactly like those specified on the command line. The options must be in their respective command line formats.

UPIMERGE can process encrypted or plain text command files (see the COMMAND_FILE_ENCRYPTED option). Stonebranch, Inc. recommends that you configure the file system's security to protect command files from unauthorized access.

Note

If UPIMERGE encounters the COMMAND_FILE_ENCRYPTED and COMMAND_FILE_PLAIN options on its command line, it uses the file specified for COMMAND_FILE_PLAIN.
