Creating a package using command line

You can use xSQL Builder command line to create a package via the command line options. This can be useful when you wish to build executable packages in a batch files.

The xSQL Builder command line, named xSQL.Builder.Cmd.exe, is located in the builder installation folder. The options are as follows:

xSQL.Builder.Cmd <config.xml> [/q /quiet] [/? /help]

where:

config.xml is the full path and name of the xml configuration file that contains the builder settings. If the filename contains spaces, enclose it in double quotes. You can create the config file using builder user-interface.
/q /quiet indicates the quiet mode that suppresses all messages from being displayed on the screen.
/? /help displays the command line options and usage.

The following command creates an executable package using the settings in the config file builder.xml:

xSQL.Builder.Cmd "C:\ProgramData\xSQL Software\xSQL Builder\Output\builder.xml"

Note: Prior to version 4, xSQL Builder user interface module, named xSQL.Builder.UI, was also used as the command line. Version 4 separates the user interface from the command line by adding a new module named xSQL.Builder.Cmd. Command line options are no longer supported by xSQL.Builder.UI.
