Important

Execute the BuildConfiguration operation after executing the InstallFromRepository, InstallBundlePackages, UpdatePackages operations to ensure Creatio works correctly.

-user

Username for authorization. Specify the value if the utility's configuration file lacks a username or you need to execute the operation on behalf of a different user.

-password

User password for authorization. Specify the value if the utility's configuration file lacks a user password or you need to execute the operation on behalf of a different user.

Specifies whether to end the utility process automatically after the operation finishes. Can be true or false. The default value is false.

-processName

Name of the process to run.

-repositoryUri

Address of the SVN repository that stores the package structure and properties. Optional. If you specify the parameter, the utility uses its value instead of the value of the -workspaceName parameter.

-sourceControlLogin

Login of the SVN repository user.

-sourceControlPassword

Password of the SVN repository user.

-workingCopyPath

Local directory of the working copies of packages stored in SVN.

-contentTypes

Type of content exported to the drive from the database.

Available values

SystemData	JSON data of system schemas. Dumps all system schemas and their columns except for data specified in the -excludedSchemas parameter.
ConfigurationData	JSON data of configuration element schemas. Dumps all schemas except for data specified in the -excludedSchemas parameter.

LocalizableData	Localizable XML content of configuration element schemas. Dumps only the text columns. Specify additional restrictions in the -excludedSchemas and -excludedSchemaColumns parameters.
Repository	ZIP workspace data.
SqlScripts	SQL scripts bound to packages.
Data	JSON data of system schemas and configuration element schemas. The combination of SystemData and ConfigurationData values.
LocalizableSchemaData	Data of localizable objects.
All	All content types.

-sourcePath

Path to a local directory from which to fetch the data. For example, packages, schemas, or resources. Can accept several values separated by commas for the ConcatRepositories and SaveVersionSvnContent operations.

-destinationPath

Path to a temporary local directory to save the data. For example, packages, schemas, or resources.

-webApplicationPath

Path to the Creatio installation directory. The utility follows this path to fetch the database connection information from the ConnectionStrings.config file. If you omit this parameter, the utility connects to the database specified in the configuration string in the utility's configuration file.

The -webApplicationPath parameter specifies the path to the Terrasoft.WebApp directory for the BuildWorkspace, ReBuildWorkspace, and UpdateWorkspaceSolution operations.

-configurationPath

Path to the ..\Terrasoft.WebApp\Terrasoft.Configuration directory. The utility exports the source code and resources of user-made package schemas to this directory in the file system development mode.

-backupConfiguration

Specifies whether to back up the configuration before package installation. The default value is true. Optional for InstallFromRepository operation. Optional for UpdateConfiguration operation.

-fileName

File name. Required for the LoadLicResponse and ExecuteScript operations.

-typeName

Name of the class whose instance is required for work. Service information. For example, set the parameter value to FileMigrator.Executor when using FileMigrator utility. Required for the ExecuteScript operation.

-excludedSchemas

Names of configuration element schemas to exclude from the operation.

-excludedSchemaColumns

Names of the columns of configuration element schemas to exclude from the operation.

-excludedWorkspaceNames

Names of the workspaces (configurations) to exclude from the operation.

-includedSchemas

Names of configuration element schemas to forcibly include in the operation.

-includedSchemaColumns

Names of the columns of configuration element schemas to forcibly include in the operation.

-cultureName

Language culture code. Required if you specify the Resources and/or LocalizableData values in the -contentTypes parameter.

-schemaManagerNames

Names of configuration element schema managers in the operations. The default value is EntitySchemaManager.

-packageName

Package name in the configuration specified in the -workspaceName parameter. The utility downloads the packages on which the current package depends as well. If you omit the parameter, the utility downloads all packages of the configuration.

-clearWorkspace

Specifies whether to clear the workspace before the update. Can be true or false. The default value is false.

-backupPath

Path to a local directory that contains the *.gz archives of package backups.

-installPackageSqlScript

Specifies whether to run the SQL scripts before and after saving the packages. Can be true or false. The default value is true.

-installPackageData

Specifies whether to install the bound package data after saving the packages. Can be true or false. The default value is true.

-updateDBStructure

Specifies whether to update the database structure after saving the packages. Can be true or false. The default value is true.

-regenerateSchemaSources

Specifies whether to re-generate the source code after saving the packages to the database. Can be true or false. The default value is true.

-continueIfError

Specifies whether to abort the installation after receiving the first error. If set to true, the installation process goes through to the end. You will receive the list of the errors encountered. Can be true or false. The default value is false.

Always set the -continueIfError parameter to false for the InstallFromSvn and InstallFromRepository operations. These operations manage updated or new packages and their elements. The utility detects the updated elements by comparing the new and existing package structures. As such, if you run the command without specifying the -continueIfError=true key and an error occurs, then rerun the command for the same configuration, the second command will finish without errors yet will not update the database. In this case, the first operation synchronizes the package structures of the configuration and repository, meaning the second operation will be unable to detect the updated package elements.

-skipCompile

Specifies whether to run the compilation. Will work if you set the -updateDBStructure parameter to false. Can be true or false. The default value is false.

-autoUpdateConfigurationVersion

Updates the configuration version in the database to the Creatio version. Can be true or false. The default value is false.

-warningsOnly

Specifies whether to display an error notification if the utility detects an operation execution error. Can be true or false. The default value is false.

-confRuntimeParentDirectory

Path to the parent directory of the ..\Terrasoft.WebApp\conf directory. You must use the parameter in commands that compile Creatio or generate the static content:

• RegenerateSchemaSources
• InstallFromRepository
• InstallBundlePackages
• UpdatePackages
• BuildWorkspace
• RebuildWorkspace
• ExecuteProcess
• ExecuteScript

-dbCommandTimeout

Available for Creatio 8.1.4 and later. Sets the database connection timeout for any WorkspaceConsole operation. We recommend using the -dbCommandTimeout parameter when the timeout cannot be changed using the ConnectionStrings.config file parameters. For example, the PostgreSQL database server by default restricts setting a timeout greater than 1024. In this case, use the -dbCommandTimeout parameter to set the PostgreSQL database connection timeout to greater than 1024.

-storageCode

Available in Creatio 8.1.4 and later. Storage code specified in the File content storages lookup. Required for the SetFileStorageConnectionString operation.

-storageConnectionString

Available in Creatio 8.1.4 and later. Connection string specified in the connectionString parameter of the ConnectionStrings.config file. Required for the SetFileStorageConnectionString operation.
