Reporting and Display Arguments

The following arguments are appended to the end of the command line followed by a space and forward slash (i.e. /A). A space and forward slash are also used to separate each additional argument (i.e. /A /M).

/AP

Run Pre-Sync Report: If the /AP argument is used a Pre-Sync Report will be generated and files/folders will not be synchronized. If you add an O to the /AP then the previous Pre-Sync report will be Over written, if you exclude the O then the file will be appended to an existing Pre-Sync report. If you add an S to the /AP then the Pre-Sync report will be Shown at the end of the run (i.e.: /AP, /APO, /APOS or /APS).

Note: This item is selectable from the Profiler via the Options/Commands Screen.

/GL[S]

Display status in Profiler: If the /GL argument is used, PeerSync will open the Profiler, if it is not already open, and send status messages to be displayed on the Run/View Current Profile Activity screen using mail slot messaging to communicate with the Profiler. By adding an S you can suppress the initial connection of PeerSync to the Profiler upon activation of PeerSync.

Note: This item is selectable from the Profiler via the Options/Commands Screen.
