Installation:
The first step is to login and connect to the Client Downloads page, available at the link on the right hand side menu. Once you have downloaded the installer, double click to install it as normal. Download the latest version of Sun Java from Java.com. If you already have 1.6/6.0 or greater installed, you are all set. If you are already using our RepDev product, you will also be OK with your current Java setup.
You should have received a customer ID and a key in an email from our staff. Enter these two values in the registration box that shows up when you first start the program. You can access the registration box again by going to Help->Register in the top menu.
Usage:
You should refer to the Videos page to get a better idea of how to use the program. There are many tutorials available there that explain everything from the basic to the most advanced features
Command Line Usage:
The parameter updater can be used over the command line as well. If you navigate to the location where you installed the application, typically C:\Program Files\Parameter Updater, you will find a param-cli.exe file in addition to the regular GUI version, ParamUpdater.exe. Running the param-cli.exe version is possible using the following options:
-ip [Symitar host IP Address]
-port [Port to connect to, omit for default port 23]
-user [AIX username]
-pass [AIX Password]
-uid [UserID for the Sym you are connecting to]
-sym [Sym number]
-log [Log file location]
-config [Configuration file location]
For example, this is a full set of command line options to run a configuration set up previously:
param-cli.exe -config "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\cfcu_rates.xml" -sym 1 -user aixuser -pass aixpass -uid 073password -ip 127.0.0.1 -log "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\log.txt"
The above command will run the cfcu_rates.xml configuration file, which I made using the GUI earlier, it will post those parameters to sym 1, using my aixuser and aixpass. The host is located at 127.0.0.1 in this case, and my userID on sym 1 is "073password". A log of my results will be sent to the log.txt file on my desktop.
You can mix and match the command line options, and any needed information will be prompted for.
