Command-Line Options

Use the Project Deployment Tool command-line options to bundle and deploy a Web HMI project to another node.

The following Project Deployment Tool command-line options are case-sensitive.


Option	Description
--bundle	Creates a bundle containing project data.
--deploy	Deploys a bundle in the target, overriding the current project data.
--scada	Bundles or deploys the HMI/SCADA contents. Used in conjunction with the bundle and deploy options.
--webserver	Bundles or deploys the Web HMI contents. Used in conjunction with the bundle and deploy options.
--server	Specifies the web server instance URL in which to create or deploy a bundle.
--username	Specifies your Web HMI user name for authentication.
--password	Specifies your Web HMI password for authentication.
--file	Specifies a file name for your bundled content. If you do not specify a file name, the tool generates a name that includes the server name and time stamp.
--overwrite	Without prompting, automatically overwrites the target files with your source files.
--iFix	Allows you to pass in non-default parameters to the iFIX backup and restore tool, which bundles and deploys iFIX content. The supplied parameters overwrite the default parameters. The default parameters are: Bundling – "/S /BackupSec", which performs a full backup with security files in silent mode. Deployment: – "/S /RestoreSec", which restores <xxxxx>, replacing the current security settings with those in the bundle file. To pass in more than one parameter, surround the parameter value in double quotes, such as: --iFix="/F /S" Unsupported parameters (/B, /R, /FactoryDefaults): /B and /R – The Project Deployment Tool determines the right operation based on the --bundle or --deploy options. /FactoryDefault parameter – You cannot use the Project Deployment Tool to bundle or deploy iFIX factory defaults. For more information on the iFIX backup and restore tool, see the iFIX online documentation.
--help	Displays the supported command-line options.
