Running FH Web Edition using command-line arguments

If a shortcut for FH_Web.exe can be created on the CE device's desktop, command-line arguments can be used to expedite the logon process. For example, the command-line arguments "-a" allows users to directly launch an application. Command-line arguments can also be used to pass on application specific startup parameters and to enable compression.

  1. Right-click a FH Web Edition shortcut, and then click Properties.

  2. On the Shortcut tab, place the cursor in the Target edit box and append any of the following command-line arguments after the quote (”):

    Argument Does this

    -h

    The FH Web Edition server address or host name.

    -u

    The client’s network user name.

    -p

    The client’s network password.

    -a

    The display name of the application to be launched. The application's
    display name should be identical to the application registered with the FH Web Edition Connection Manager.

    -r

    Startup parameters for the application.

    -hp

    Modifies the host port setting for the Application Publishing Service.

    -c or -nc

    -c enables compression, -nc disables compression.
    (Compression is enabled by default.)

    Example:
    ...\FH_Web.exe" -h server -u username -p password -c -hp 443

    Note:

    • Startup parameters passed on by the -r argument are specific to each application. Please refer to the application’s documentation for information about launch parameters.
    • Command-line arguments are optional and are not case sensitive. Arguments can be appended in any order, with the exception of -r. If -r is used, it must be the last argument on the command line, and it must be used with the -a argument.

    • To accommodate spaces in user names, passwords, application display names, or application arguments, quotation marks must be included when using command-line arguments.

      Example: User name Jim C would be specified as –u “Jim C”.
