Introduction
OpenInsight provides a variety of command line parameters to customize the way OINSIGHT.exe and OENGINE.exe will launch. Since a single OpenInsight installation can support an unlimited number of applications, users, and passwords, these parameters come in handy as a way of bypassing the default login dialog boxes.
This document provides a listing of all known parameters with a description of what each one is used for. An Examples section is included near the end of this white paper. Most, but not all, of the parameters follow the same syntax:
/Parameter=Value
Whenever the documentation indicates a value of “None” is possible, this simple means no value.
OINSIGHT.exe Options
Most shortcuts will point to OINSIGHT.exe since this launches OpenInsight’s Presentation Server and allows GUI desktop applications to run.
Login Parameters
When no parameters are specified, OpenInsight presents the user with a default login dialog. This default dialog will look different based on whether or not the local computer has ever launched OpenInsight before. For computers that have never launched OpenInsight the dialog will look like this:
However, once OpenInsight has been launched at least once, the OINSIGHT.ini file will have been created in the system’s Windows directory. Within this file is information that informs OpenInsight how to launch in default mode. Here is a simple example, with the login information in red:
[Application Manager] NCA=1 Status Bar=Yes Ribbon=Yes Side Tool Bar=260 SideBarToolList=2,1,3,15,5,8,16,12,13,11,14 Show Flags=No OutLiner=* Inherit Entities=Yes Application=EXAMPLES Login User=EXAMPLES [OIPI32] Auto Start=Yes Auto Stop=Yes
