-DL -DX:"file_path\filename.ext"

You can use the - DL parameter to specify that multiple desktops will be saved as XML and create a text file that lists the desktops to save as XML. For details on creating this text file, see Enterprise Dashboard module - process multiple desktops.

Then use the - DX or - DXC parameter to specify the name and location of this text file.

-DF:"filename.xml"

Each time you start this shortcut, the program will automatically open the desktop name specified by -DX or -DXC (above).

The contents of this desktop will be saved as XML to the file name specified by this -DF parameter.

If the -DF parameter also specifies a file path, then this XML file will be created in the specified path. Otherwise, this XML file will be saved in the folder specified by the html_location= setting in Cms.ini. If a file with this name already exists in this location, it will automatically be overwritten.

This feature is only available when the Server Edition is installed.

If using the - DL parameter to process multiple desktops, do not use the -DF parameter on the shortcut's target line. Instead, you can use the list of desktop names to specify the file name to create for each desktop. For more information, see Enterprise Dashboard module - process multiple desktops.

-DF:"file_path\filename.xml"
