SDDMS Runtime Options

SDDMS is a single application (FuseIT.SDDMS) that has three modes of operation that can be triggered by command line arguments or settings in the config file.

1. Data Export Mode

Choose this mode by specifying "/DataExport" as the first argument. You need to use a Salesforce connection string name and ensure a connection string has been added to the config file.

There are two ways to reference the connection string:

1. FuseIT.SDDMS.Executable /DataExport
   This uses the default connection string named, "SalesforceConnectionString", in the config file
    e.g execute this command line (note spaces): FuseIT.SDDMS /DataExport
2. FuseIT.SDDMS.Executable /DataExport /scs:YourSalesforceConnectionStringName "path"
   This uses your custom connection string with the name in the config file
   e.g execute this command line (note spaces) - FuseIT.SDDMS /DataExport /scs:YourSalesforceConnectionStringName "path"
   where /scs is the required Salesforce connection prefix and
   path is the file directory where the data export files should be saved e.g. c:/Myplace 

Note: If you want to pull schema information then set "pullSchemaInfo" to true in config file. The schema information will be saved with the name 'dataCache' on your file system along with the DataExport zip files at the path specified above.

2. Database Generation Mode

Choose this mode by specifing "/DatabaseGen" as the first argument. To use this mode you must specify SQL connection string in the config file.

There are three ways to use this mode:

1. FuseIT.SDDMS /DatabaseGen
2. FuseIT.SDDMS /DatabaseGen /scs:YourSalesforceConnectionStringName /sqlcs:YourSqlConnectionStringName "path"
3. FuseIT.SDDMS /DatabaseGen /scs:useDataCache /sqlcs:SQLConnectionStringName "path"

Use SQL Server connection String name and ensure your connection string has been added to the config file.
If you do not want to specify the connection string name only specify the mode:
Four parameters are required when connecting with a connection string
e.g FuseIT.SDDMS.Executable /DatabaseGen /scs:SalesforceConnectionStringName /sqlcs:SQLConnectionStringName "path"
/scs: Salesforce connection string name (config file)
/sqlcs: SQL Server connection string name (config file)
path: File directory where the data export files are saved
e.g c:/Myplace

Note:- If you want to use the dataCache stored on the file system (stored while DataExport) write "useDataCache" in place of SalesforceConnectionStringName.
i.e. /scs:useDataCache

3. Data Export and Database Generation Mode

Choose this mode by specifing "/DataExportAndDatabaseGen" as the first argument.
Use Salesforce and SQL Server connection String name and ensure your connection strings have been added to the config file
If you do not want to specify the connection string name only specify the mode:
Four parameters are required when connecting with a connection strings
e.g FuseIT.SDDMS.Executable /DataExportAndDatabaseGen /scs:SalesforceConnectionStringName /sqlcs:SQLConnectionStringName "path"

Note:- You cannot use data cache in this mode. But, if you want to pull the schema information in DataExport section and use it while generating database, then set 'pullSchemaInfo' and 'useDataCache' to true in config file.
