Convert Applications in Batch Mode

  Our tool allows you to convert application source files from a Command Line or a shell script.   

  To convert applications run sqlways.exe as follows:

sqlways.exe /f=d:\delphi_project\*.* /source=Delphi /target=CS /dir=d:\CS_project

• /F specifies the location of the source script files
• You can specify a full path, a list or a template (*.*, *.pas i.e.)  
• /SOURCE specifies the source database 
• /TARGET specifies the target database  

The list of available applications: 

• C# - C#.NET applications
• VB.Net - Visual Basic.NET applications
• Java - Java applications
• Delphi - Delphi applications
• CPP - C++ applications
• VB - Visual Basic applications
• Pascal - Pascal applications
• /DIR specifies the location of the converted script files (output directory). sqlways.log (conversion log) is located in this folder.

  To convert a Delphi project run sqlways.exe as follows:  sqlways.exe /F=c:\Delphi_project\Project.dpr /source=Delphi /target=CS /dir=d:\CS_project 

Note: Ispirer Toolkit Command Line options are case insensitive and their order is insignificant.    

• /F specifies the location of the Delphi project file (.dpr)
• /SOURCE=Delphi specifies that the source application is Delphi
• /TARGET specifies the target application (C# in the example above)
• /DIR specifies the location of the converted script files (output directory). sqlways.log (conversion log) is located in this folder.

  To convert C++ applications with Embedded SQL to ODBC run sqlways.exe as follows:

sqlways.exe /F=s:\CPP_ESQL\*.* /SOURCE=CPP /TARGET=CPP /SOURCE_API=ESQLC /TARGET_API=ODBC /DIR=s:\CPP_ODBC 

Note: Ispirer Toolkit Command Line options are case insensitive and their order is insignificant.  

• /F specifies the location of the source script files 
• You can specify a full path, a list or a template (*.*, *. cpp i.e.)
• /SOURCE=CPP specifies that the source application is C++
• /TARGET=CPP specifies that the target application is C++

• /SOURCE_API=ESQLC specifies that the source API database type is Embedded SQL 
• /TARGET_API=ODBC specifies that the target API database type is ODBC
• /DIR specifies the location of the converted script files (output directory). sqlways.log (conversion log) is located in this folder.
