Manager options, basics

An introduction to using the manager options available in WinCC OA.

Command line options

Command line options are parameters that are given to the manager when the managers start from the console or parameters that are given to the manager when a shell command is executed.

Example

Start the user interface with the PARA module as follows:

WCCOAui -m para

The user interface starts with the configuration module (see PARA module) if the necessary rights for PARA exist.

For more information see General options.

Debug levels (debug flags)

There are debug levels for each manager or driver (for example, -dbg 2 or -dbg <name>). The levels enable specific information output. The command line option -helpdbg shows the possible debug levels in the command line interpreter of the operating system. The dbg name may be an arbitrary name and can be added directly to the console or registered first via the registerDbgFlag() function. The debug flags, however, do not have to be registered first but can be added directly to the console.

To use multiple debug flags for one manager, it is possible to add them separated with a comma ",", e.g. "-dbg 10,11,12".

For more information see chapter General debug flags.
