Loading User Preferences from the Command Line
You can use the LoadUserProfileIniFile application in a jadclient or non‑GUI client jade executable to load an exported user preferences file; for example, if you have created and built JADE environments from a specific release and you want to load your preferences with a defined schema set.
The LoadUserProfileIniFile application requires the following two parameters.
-
userName, which specifies the user name of the user profile to be created or updated
-
profileIniFileName, which specifies the file path and name of the preferences .ini file that is to be loaded
The following is an example of the jadclient command line.
jadclient.exe path=c:\Jade\system ini=c:\jade\system\jade.ini server=singleUser schema=JadeSchema app=LoadUserProfileIniFile startAppParameters userName=myusername profileIniFileName=c:\jade\JadeUserPreferences.ini
The exit of jadclient or jade executable is set non‑zero if the process fails. The success or failure is also written to the jommsg log file.
For details about importing and exporting your user preferences to a file, see "
The loading of an exported file of your user preferences does not supports the older‑style editor key bindings entries in your user preferences that were created in releases earlier than JADE version 2018.0.01. The loading of such files is therefore rejected when you import an earlier user preferences file and by a batch file load using the jadclient or non‑GUI client jade executable command line.
You should therefore export your older user preferences to a file in JADE 2018.0.01 and higher before importing or loading them into JADE 2020.0.01 and higher.
2020.0.01 and higher
