When specifying connection string information using command line switches, the --datasourcename switch, the --connectionstring switch, and the --provider switch are required.

The --provider switch specifies the data provider type used for the database. Only SQL Server and Oracle data providers can be used to connect to the OnBase database. Use one of the following:

  • For a SQL Server database:

    --provider "System.Data.SqlClient"

  • For an Oracle database:

    --provider "Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client"

Note:

Qualifiers provided for the --provider are case-sensitive.
