Opening SQL cases from the command line
Contents
The CaseMap Server allows you to open CaseMap and TextMap SQL cases via command line support. You must first have case portal web pages set up where you can post hyperlinks to the SQL cases, in addition to any local cases or exported case data you want available such as a case issue list or cast of characters.
Case users can then create shortcuts on their desktops or save hyperlinks as Favorites in their Internet browser to open case file assigned to them. The CaseMap and TextMap applications will launch from the web portal page. You can determine options for whether the client application splash screen displays or whether a user logon is required before the case can be opened.
When a user launches CaseMap or TextMap and passes one of these two command line parameters, the client application will wait for the user to log into the CaseMap Server. After the user logs on to the CaseMap Server, the client application then attempts to automatically open the specified case.
If the user's CaseMap client application is not in SQL mode or the user has not successfully logged into the CaseMap Server, an error message displays to notify them. Does this also apply to TextMap?

If a case user is using a trial version of CaseMap or TextMap, and does not have trial time remaining, a message displays to notify them and offers an option to activate the client application. |
Use the following command line format to open a CaseMap SQL Case Name or SQL Case ID: "[PATH]\CaseMap.exe" /SQLCaseName "[SQL_CASE_NAME]" "[PATH]\CaseMap.exe" /SQLCaseID "[SQL_CASE_ID]"
CaseMap allows the user to pass a file name as the first parameter on the command line to open the file, e.g. "CaseMap.exe C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL\Server\MSSQL\DATA\database.mdf". The file path and name must be the first parameter in the command line. This can also be combined with "-nosplash" and "-nodlg", and the file name must be the first parameter on the command line.
Correct (suppresses the splash screen and opens the case file) "CaseMap.exe C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL\Server\MSSQL\DATA\database.mdf -nosplash"
Incorrect (suppresses the splash screen, but does not open the case file) "CaseMap.exe -nosplash C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL\Server\MSSQL\DATA\database.mdf"

Use the following command line format to open a TextMap SQL Case Name or SQL Case ID: "[PATH]\TextMap.exe" /SQLCaseName "[SQL_CASE_NAME]" "[PATH]\TextMap.exe" /SQLCaseID "[SQL_CASE_ID]"
