Overview
If your license allows it, gmStudio can be operated in a batch mode. You will typically do this using the sample batch files we provide. This section describes the gmStudio command line.
gmStudio Command Line Syntax
The form of the gmStudio command line is as shown below:
gmStudio /AUTOBATCH = ["YES"|"NO"] /CFG="cfgpath" /MIG="migpath" /TOOLS="tool_list" /TASKS="task_list" /REPORTS="report_list" [/IGNOREMRU] [/LOGSTART] where: /AUTOBATCH = "YES|NO" If AutoBatch=YES then the command list specified in the migration project file (.gmproj) will be performed. Otherwise, the set of task/tools specified on the command line will be performed. /CFG = "cfgpath" sets the path to an application config file (gmstudio.cfg) /MIG = "migpath" sets path to a migration project file (.gmproj)
or
/MIG = a migration project specification string: one of more of the following semicolon delimited list of project creation parameters:
Parameter | Description | Status/Default |
Name=name; | name is the name of new upgrade project | optional, default=NewUpgrade |
Source=source; | source is the name of the folder containing the source codes | required |
NetLang=lang; | lang is the target .NET language (csh|vbn) | optional, default=csh |
SendTo=sendto; | sendto is the name of the folder to store the project workspace | required |
SourceFilter=pattern; | pattern is *.vbp|*.asp|fully qualified path to a single file | optional=*.vbp |
UseExtensions=yes|no; | 'yes' indicates to use extension methods (aka. the lightweight object oriented coding style) and 'no' indicates to standard dialect | optional, default=yes |
UseStubs=yes|no; | 'yes' indicates to generate a stub framework for COM and 'no' indicates to use interop | optional, default=yes |
VSVersion=VSnnnn; | VSnnnn is a VSversion name (e.g. VS2010, VS2010, VS2015) | optional, default=VS2013 |
OverWrite=yes|no; | 'yes' means to replace a pre-existing gmProj silently and 'no' indicates to promot the user | optional, default="no"
|
See sample listing below:
/FILTER = "sourcelist" restricts processing to the source tasks listed. Multiple tasks indicated using '+'. Wildcard using '*'.
/TOOLS = "tool_list" specifies a comma delimited list of the following tools (iterate over all migration units for each tool)
Apply Task Filter,

Update Project Metalang File /TASKS = "task_list" specifies a comma-delimited list of the following tasks (iterate over list of all tasks for each migration unit)
