Transaction Pro Exporter 6.0 - Command Line Parameters – as of 5/18/2017 – version 6.0.06
Have an earlier version of the Transaction Pro Exporter? See the command line reference for those products here.
Did you know you can set your export file, transaction
type, delimiter and other settings when starting the Transaction Pro
Exporter? Here are some tips for taken advantage of "hidden" features
in the product: (simply edit the shortcut that starts Transaction Pro Exporter
and add the following "switches")
To add command line switches, make a copy of the program shortcut and add the custom switches you need in the "target" property of the shortcut
Example: This sets the export file, export file type and transaction type in the command line.
1. Right click on the Windows START button on the lower left of your desktop and left click OPEN
2. Double click Programs folder. Double Click the 01 Transaction Pro Exporter 6.0 folder.
3. You will see a shortcut named “Transaction Pro Exporter 6.0. Make a copy of this folder by clicking Edit/Copy then Edit/Paste.
4. Bring up the properties for this new program shortcut (right click on the shortcut and choose properties)
5. Edit the target from this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\01 Transaction Pro Exporter 6.0\Transaction Pro Exporter 6.0.exe"
to this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\01 Transaction Pro Exporter 6.0\
Transaction Pro Exporter 6.0.exe” /FILENAME=C:\My Text File.xls /EXPORTFORMAT=EXCEL /TXN=Check
Note users on 32 bit operating systems look for C:\Program Files\
Usage:
To set the file name:
e.g. /FILENAME=C:\My Text File.xls
To Set the export format use one of the three values (COMMA, TAB, EXCEL)
e.g. /EXPORTFORMAT=EXCEL
To Set the transaction type use one of the values from the list
e.g. /TXN=Check
So for the above example your target would be:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\01 Transaction Pro Exporter 6.0\
Transaction Pro Exporter 6.0.exe” /FILENAME=C:\My Text File.xls /EXPORTFORMAT=EXCEL /TXN=Check
Example of using the /AUTORUN parameter in the target shortcut:
/AUTORUN 1 /TXN=Invoice /FILTER=REFNO /RANGEFROM=900 /RANGETO=999 /EXPORTFORMAT=EXCEL /FILENAME=c:\output.xls /NOEXCEL
This outputs selected fields for the invoice transaction type, setting the filter to Ref No and the range from 900 to 999. It sets the export format to be Excel and outputs the file to c drive. It disables opening Excel after exporting the file.
