Run the Engine in Console Mode

When you run the engine in console mode, a dynamic screen is displayed. This screen illustrates all the details of the current calculation status of the engine. To use this console, stop the service and run it again in console mode. This action forces an intervention in the engine operation, which sometimes leads to a decrease in performance.

This section explains how to run the engine in console mode

Follow these steps:

1. Stop the PslWriter service or PslWriterN. The "n" is the number of the instance you want to run, even if it is running on a separate server. Running the same instance more than once at the same time is not allowed.
2. Open a command window. To open a command window, go to Start, run, cmd.
3. Enter the following command:

   PslWriter -d [-x<instance ID>]
   

   Note: The instance ID is optional. If it is not supplied, instance 0 is run. An example of the command is:

   PslWriter -d -x12.
