qaagent syntax Next Page

@data option


Reads options from the specified environment variable or configuration file.

Syntax

qaagent @{ filename | environment-variable } ...

Remarks

With this option, you can put command line options in an environment variable or configuration file. If both exist with the name you specify, the environment variable is used.

See Using configuration files.

If you want to protect passwords or other information in the configuration file, you can use the File Hiding utility to obfuscate the contents of the configuration file.

This option is useful for Windows CE because command lines in shortcuts are limited to 256 characters.

See File Hiding utility (dbfhide).

Sybase Central equivalent

The QAnywhere plug-in to Sybase Central has a task called Create An Agent Command File. When you choose it, you are prompted to enter a file name and then a Properties dialog appears that helps you enter the command information. The file that is produced has a .qaa extension. The .qaa file extension is a Sybase Central convention; this file is the same as what you would create for the @data option. You can use the command file created by Sybase Central as your @data configuration file.
