Set server variables
For an existing server alias configuration, a server variable can be changed or added via the command line tool AlfaAdministratorConsole.exe with the following command line:
- AlfaAdministratorConsole.exe -msalias <alias name> -editvariables -variable <variable name> -value <variable value>
For an existing server alias configuration, a server variable can be deleted via the command line tool AlfaAdministratorConsole.exe with the following command line:
- AlfaAdministratorConsole.exe -msalias <alias name> -editvariables -variable <variable name>
The table below displays the command line options:
| Command Line Option | Mandatory/ Default | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| -editvariables | Mandatory | To change the variable definitions in the server alias configuration, the command line must contain the parameter:
