COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS

For convenience, several “command line” arguments can used when

starting MDM Console from the command line or a Windows shortcut.

The arguments are either “-” switches or arguments to a particular

switch, as described in Table 1.

load the repositories it has mounted.

when you exit MDM Console.

Console –f "C:\Desktop\SAP MDM Servers.mcs" -q

Works only with -f but is superceded by -x.

Does not save or prompt you to save the MDM Console Settings

(.mcs) file when you exit MDM Console.

Console –f "C:\Desktop\SAP MDM Servers.mcs" -x
