Run a Process File at Command Prompt

This section provides the information about running a Process file at Command Prompt.

To run Process file at Command Prompt,

1. Open the Command Prompt window.
2. Go to the folder containing the ProR.exe file and run the following command:
   <ProR.exe> <PathToProcessfile>[|AutoRun=<True/False>] [|LogonFile=<LogonShortcutFile>][|SilentMode=<True/False>] [|ExcelFile=<ExcelDataFile>][|SheetName=<ExcelSheetName>] [|StartRow=<StartRow>][|EndRow=<EndRow>][|CloseExcel=<True/False>][|SessionID=<SessionIdentifier>]

Where:

• <PathToProcessfile> is the full path of the Process file that you want to run.
• AutoRun indicates that the Process file is run without intervention, when set to True. Enter the full path to the logon shortcut file if this parameter is set to True.
• <LogonShortcutFile> is the logon shortcut file that is used to connect to SAP.
