RESOLUTION

Example to start workflow task based  on the default  Invoice Authorisation template:

 (Local transfer)
 -i "C:\Program Files\ZyLAB\Indexes\INDEX1" -wi "c:\program files\zylab\indexes\workflow" -wt "Invoice
Authorisation" -wu "ANONYMOUS" -z -f "C:\example.zip"

(Web-based http transfer)
 -h localhost -n "work8" -c "w8" -u "username" -p "XyZ" -wt "Review Task" -wu "ANONYMOUS,USER1" -f "C:\example.doc"

Suggestions and remarks: 

• To avoid errors, always use double quotes around every option value!
• It is neccesary for values with spaces in them: -i "c:\test with spaces\".
• If you would leave out the quotes, the value would be c:\test
• If option -l is specified, -h is ignored.
• -n and -c are required when copying/moving files to an inter/intranet index.
• If the option -m is specified, files will be removed when copied successfully (the directory structure will not)
• The settings.txt of an index should the following lines in the [ZyBuild] section:
• The application should exit with return code 0 if no error occured.
