When opening a data source in a context where you can specify Data Manager's command line arguments, you can provide information about the data source as a
data connection string or as a
CSPro URI. Options include:
| Property Name | Description |
|---|
| "dictionaryPath" | When defined, the dictionary that describes the data source is read from the disk, evaluated relative to the path of the data source. This is useful when opening a data source that does not contain an embedded dictionary. |
| "key" | If defined, the case with the specified case key is shown after the data source is opened. |
| "uuid" | If defined, the case with the specified UUID is shown after the data source is opened. If both a UUID and key are specified, the UUID value is prioritized. |
For example, this example shows how to open a
Text data source from the command line, specifying its dictionary and a case to view:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\CSPro 8.1\DataManager.exe" "C:\HVAC\ac-home-use.dat|dictionaryPath=HVAC.dcf&key=2026"
Using a CSPro URI, you could open this data source with the selected case via:
cspro:///data/C:/HVAC/ac-home-use.dat?dictionaryPath=HVAC.dcf&key=2026
