Windows command-line options for the transient event list

When you run the NCOelct.exe command to start the transient event list on Windows, you must specify a number of command-line options to customize the event list. You can run this command from the %NCHOME%\omnibus\desktop directory.

The following table describes the command-line options for starting the transient event list on Windows.

Table 1. Windows transient event list (NCOelct.exe) command-line options
Command-line option	Description
-diagnostic	Displays extended diagnostic messages.
-dualwrite 0 \| 1	Indicates whether to enable or disable dual-write mode when operating in a desktop ObjectServer architecture. Valid options are as follows: `0`: Disable dual-write mode `1`: Enable dual-write mode The -dualwrite command-line option overrides the DualWrite field entry in the master.national table of the desktop ObjectServer.
-elf `string \| URL`	This is a required option. Specifies the filter file to use for the transient event list, where: `string` specifies a path to a .elf file. `URL` specifies a .elf file on a remote server that is accessible by using HTTP or FTP. Specify the `URL` by using one of the following formats: `http://servername[:port]/path/filename.elf` `http://username:password@servername[:port]/path/filename.elf` `ftp://servername[:port]/path/filename.elf` `ftp://username:password@servername[:port]/path/filename.elf` The optional port number `:port` needs to be specified only if the server is not using the default port. If using FTP, the path must be the full path from the root directory; for example, /home/`user`/mydir/myfilter.elf. You can use the -params command-line option to specify filter parameters in addition to those specified in the .elf file. For usage details, see the -params description, in this table.
-elv `string \| URL`	Specifies the event list view file to use for the transient event list, where: `string` specifies a path to a .elv file. `URL` specifies a .elv file on a remote server that is accessible by using HTTP or FTP. Specify the `URL` by using one of the following formats: `http://servername[:port]/path/filename.elv` `http://username:password@servername[:port]/path/filename.elv` `ftp://servername[:port]/path/filename.elv` `ftp://username:password@servername[:port]/path/filename.elv` The optional port number `:port` needs to be specified only if the server is not using the default port. If using FTP, the path must be the full path from the root directory; for example, /home/`user`/mydir/myview.elv.
-help	Displays help for this command and exits.
-masterserver `string`	Indicates the master ObjectServer to use in a desktop ObjectServer architecture. The -masterserver command-line option overrides the MasterServer field entry in the master.national table of the desktop ObjectServer.
-networktimeout `integer`	Specifies a time in seconds after which a login attempt or connection to the ObjectServer will time out, if a network failure occurs. After the specified timeout period, the event list attempts to reconnect to the ObjectServer. If the connection is unsuccessful after a second timeout period, the event list will attempt to connect to a backup ObjectServer, where available. The default is 20 seconds.
-params `string`	Specifies a string to use to replace a single placeholder in the `filter_text` parameter of the filter file. This placeholder must begin with the @ symbol (for example, @FilterText).
-password `string`	Specifies the password for the selected user name. The NCOelct utility accepts only alphanumeric characters in the password. Special characters such as #, /, >, @, and ! are not permitted in the password.
-server `string`	Specifies the name of the ObjectServer to which you are connecting.
-username `string`	Specifies the user name to use to log in to the event list.
-version	Displays version information and exits.
