System Restore Command-Line Options
Use System Restore command-line options to automatically execute instructions or commands. A system administrator can use the System Restore command-line options to import the CSM database for the first time or reload the CSM database from an archive file (.czar file).
To use the System Restore command-line options, execute CSM Administrator with arguments. The System Restore application to run is called SystemRestore.exe, which is found in the Cherwell Service Management installation directory.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| /? | Provides help text for the supported command-line options. |
| /s or /i | This option specifies to run from the installer. |
| /w | This option specifies to run for web applications. |
| /a | This option specifies to run automatically. |
| /pc | This specifies a privileged connection. |
| /z | This is the .czar file location. |
| /c |
This is the connection to use. To use a connection that is available to all users of the machine, add the prefix [Common]. To use a connection that is associated with the current user, add the prefix [User]. When using the interactive dialog, [Common] connections are on the All Users tab, while [User] connections are on the tab named for the current user. |
| /u |
This is the user ID to use. This only works when CSM authentication is enabled and is not supported with other authentication types (Windows or LDAP). |
| /p |
This is the password to use. This only works when
CSM
authentication is enabled and is not supported with other authentication types
(Windows or LDAP).
Note: Putting a password into a shortcut is a potential
security issue, since other users can edit the properties of the shortcut and
read the password.
|
| /pe | This is the encrypted password to use. |
| /ps | This is the platform definition file location. |
| /unicode | This option enables Unicode support. |
Example of a System Restore command-line flag:
