BiNA Startup Parameters
Introduction
Some BiNA features can be activated/configured using command-line parameters. Such a parameter is either called a flag or an argument. The difference is, that flags don't have values attached. To avoid conflicts between plugins - sharing the same parameter, the name of every plugin-specific parameter must start with the corresponding plugin-id.
So the structure of the parameters are:
-flag_name
-argument_name <argument_value>
A simple example for proxy configuration is given below:
java -jar BiNA.jar -useProxy -proxyHost myProxy -proxyPort 1234
An example specifying the data source used by the Core Plugin (bcp):
java -jar BiNA.jar -bcp.datasource bnpp_mysql_driver
