Launch Parameters

The AQL-System can be launched with the parameters mentioned in the table below.

Parameter	Meaning
-help, -h, -?, -man, -manpage	Outputs a very brief manual, which contains a list of all available parameters.
-query "X", -q "X"	This parameter is used to assign an AQL-Query. X refers to this query.
-config "X", -cfg "X", -c "X"	By default the config.xml file in the tool’s directory is used as configuration. With this parameter a different configuration file can be chosen. X has to reference the path to and the configuration file itself. (X can also be an online file or combination of a link and login credentials associated with an AQL-WebService. Furthermore, this parameter can be given multiple times - configurations will be merged into the last one given in this case.)
-rules "X"	By default the rules.xml file in the tool’s directory is used as (transformation) rules / strategy configuration. With this parameter a different file can be chosen. X has to reference the path to and the rules file itself.
-timeout "X"s/m/h "Y", -t "X"s/m/h "Y"	With this parameter the maximum execution time of each tool can be set. If it expires the tool’s execution is canceled. X refers to this time in seconds (e.g. 10s), minutes or hours. Y is optional and defines how to handle timeout values given in configuration files. Y can have the following values: 1. "min" - minimal timeout used, 2. "max" - maximal timeout used and 3. "override" use X always.
-nr, -noRetry	Disables retrying with next-highest-priority tool, if the tool with highest priority fails.
-configwizard, -cw	If this parameter is applied the Config Wizard will be started at the beginning.
-output "X", -out "X", -o "X"	The answer to a query is automatically saved in the answers directory. This parameter can be used to store it in a second file. X has to define this file by path and filename.
-debug "X", -d "X"	The output generated during the execution of this tool can be set to different levels. X may be set to: none, important, error, special, warning, normal, debug, detailed, verbose, all (ascending precision from left to right). Additionally it can be set to short, the output will then be equal to normal but shorter at some points. By default it is set to normal.
-df "X", -dtf "X", -debugToFile "X"	Sets the log level (X) that should be logged to file (into log.txt). The default value is important.
-backup, -b	When this launch parameter is provided, the current storage of the AQL-System is backed up on start.
-reset, -r	By this parameter the storage of the AQL-System is resetted on start. Whenever a backup is scheduled as well, it will be generated before the reset.
-gui	If this or no parameters at all are provided the graphical user interface is started. It allows to formulate queries and display answers in a handy way. (Additionally use -ns, -noSplash to skip the splashscreen.)
-dg, -draw, -drawGraph	Decides whether to draw a graph (on a GUI) representing the query and its questions.
-v, -view	The determined AQL-Answer will be shown in the GUI after executing the specified query.
