Asta Server Command Line Switches

Description
The following command line switches are available for the AstaBDEServer and AstaODBCServer. See also AstaServerSocket.CommandLinePortCheck.

Compression            Sets the Compression property to acAstaCompress.

Port                  Sets the Port property

Sessions=XX            Where XX is the number of database sessions to create at server startup when using the Pooled Threading Model.

PersistentSessions            This forces the ASTA server to provide persistent database sessions for each connected client. If both command line switches are used, PersistentSessions will override the Sessions switch.

SingleSession            Trumps all of the other switches and forces the ASTA server to run without threads (sets database sessions to 0 and the threading model to tmSingleSession)

UseRegistry                  Connects to an ASTA server using settings that were saved when the Save to Registry Check box was checked upon connecting to an ASTA server previously.

NoDesignTime            Turns off Design Time Access to an ASTA server by setting the DTAccess property to false. A DTUserName and DTPassword is required on the server to use this feature.

http                        Sets the ASTAProtocol property to apHTTPTunnel

Isapi                  Sets the AstaProtcol property to apIsapi

NoLog                  Turns off the AstaServerSocket.Logon property
