Guidelines for Entering Command Line Options
Wise Package Studio Reference
When the user displays the process in the Projects tab, the values of [ProjectDir] and
[ProjectName] are displayed (Example, V:\Wise Share
Point\Projects\Application1\Application1.wsi).
Note
When you display tool help in the Tools tab, the values for project-related variables are
not displayed because the tools are not associated with projects.

Not available in Standard Edition.
You can use command-line options to change the way a tool or task runs in Workbench.
Example: You can set an option that causes Windows Installer Editor to open the default
project package automatically. Enter command-line options when you create a tool in
Tool Setup or when you create a task in Process Templates Setup.

Entering Command Line
Most predefined tools require a command-line option to run. In general, you should not
change the command-line options of predefined tools, or the tool might not run
properly.
To customize the way a predefined tool runs, it is best to add command-line options
when you associate that tool with a task in Process Templates Setup. There, you can
select from predefined command-line options for that tool. These predefined options
have plain English descriptions that make it easier to understand what each command-
line option does. You can define options for the predefined tools or for any tool you
create.
See
Defining Command Line Options for Tools
Warning
Changing an existing command-line option affects all existing projects and processes
that use that option.
When you add a new tool or when you add tasks to a process, you can enter command-
line options to apply to the tool that runs (optional). In Process Templates Setup, you
add command-line options to the Options field. In Tool Setup, you add command-line
options to the Command Line field.
