PRSMon can be scripted (run from other programs) using the following command-line parameters.
Command-line Parameter |
Description |
/backup |
Executes the PRSMon Compact and Backup Database command and performs the backup only. |
/compact |
Executes the PRSMon Compact and Backup Database command and performs the database compaction only. |
/compactbackup |
Executes the PRSMon Compact and Backup Database command and performs both database compaction and backup. |
/copy |
Disable user logons, wait for current users to logoff and then create Offline Copies of the shared data for PRS Offline Access updates. |

/enable |

When the PRSMon is run using a command-line parameter it executes the command without user interaction and then closes once the command has completed, returning an exit code.
The PRSMon command-line parameters are mutually exclusive (only use one at a time).
Use the PRSMon program Exit Codes to test the success or otherwise of command-line execution.
If you have set a database password and use the /compact or /compactbackup command-line options you will be prompted to manually enter the database password. For this reason these options are unsuitable for unattended execution.
