Using the Executable

To run the utility using the cbreport.exe, click it. A DOS box opens and the utility executes. After it finishes, a status message displays. If the utility completes successfully, a message notifies you about the success and gives you the path of the generated files. If the utility does not complete successfully, an error message notifies you about the failure and gives you the path of the error log.

Using the Command Line

You can activate the utility manually through the command line:

cbreport [[set the File Name variable]]

When you run this command, it executes in encryption mode. No data is hidden. If you do not give a file name, then the file name is auto-generated.

Below are all of the activation options:

[[set the File Name variable] [-hidedata <true/false> [-hiddendata <AssetName>] ] ]

Enter field names after hiddendata to hide those fields in the report. AssetName is the only field that you can hide.

[ [-encrypt] [set the File Name variable]]

This explicitly specifies the utility needs to execute in encrypt mode. All the fields are shown to you.

[-encrypt [set the File Name variable] [-hidedata <true/false> [-hiddendata <AssetName>] ] ]

This executes the utility in encrypt mode. The hidden fields that you specify, are not displayed in the generated report.

-decrypt [set the File Name variable] 

This will enable the user to decrypt the file. The file name is a mandatory value.

-help

This opens the help with instructions on how to use this utility. It provides examples and descriptions of the subcommands along with their arguments.
