Software\FactoryTalk Historian\PIPC\interfaces" and /path="C:\Program
Files\Rockwell Software\FactoryTalk Historian\PIPC\interfaces" .
Each entry in the following tables presents the parameter and its description. The Parameter
column includes the UniInt default value for the parameter if there is one and whether or not
the parameter is required or optional.
Note: Parameter requirements vary from interface to interface. Refer to the
interface-specific documentation for interface-specific parameter requirements and
for the exceptions for using standard UniInt parameters.
Running Modes
Interfaces typically run as detached or background processes until stopped by a manual
shutdown or a system shutdown. There are a few parameters that cause an interface to output
some information and then shutdown immediately. An example of one of these parameters is
the /help parameter. If a UniInt based interface is executed with the
/help parameter, the interface will start, notice the parameter /help request, output the
help informational messages and then shut down. There is a short list of these parameters in a
separate table labeled Informational Parameters because all of the parameters in this list will
cause a UniInt based interface to start, output some information and then shut down. These
command-line parameters must appear on the command-line by themselves.
Informational Parameters
Parameter Description
/?
Optional
On Windows, /? is the same as the /help parameter.
On all other platforms /? is the same as /h.
/h
Optional
Print a summary of command-line options supported by UniInt. The
interface-specific command-line options will also be printed if this is
supported by the interface.
/help
Optional, Windows
Only
In addition to printing the summary of command-line options from the
/h parameter, print a summary of command-line options for installing,
removing, and starting a Windows service.
/v
Optional
Print the version of the interface, the PI API installed on the interface
computer and the version of UniInt the interface was built against.
