It is advised to use the "-BASE" command line parameter to initiate optimized Database Explorer settings for use in active server environments. When implemented, the parameter allows for faster use of R:BASE for database administrators and users alike, by disabling many display and appearance features that are very likely hidden during application runtime.
The following setting changes are automatically performed when "-BASE" is specified:
•Force "View As List" display, to omit displaying column details for objects
•UINOTIF is set to OFF, to turn off refresh notifications
•DB Explorer, does not enable Show Slave Table
•DB Explorer, does not enable indicator For Compressed Forms/Reports/Labels
•DB Explorer, does not enable Show Row Numbers
•DB Explorer, disables custom Explorer Appearance settings
•For Startup Options, does not display product splash screen
The above values are set/established on load, meaning that when R:BASE is closed, the "minimal" settings will be preserved.
The following is an example of using the "-BASE" parameter within an R:BASE desktop shortcut:
Target: C:\RBTI\RBG11\RBG11.EXE "-BASE"
Be sure to use the startup parameter to speed up the database CONNECT time in Multi-User LAN, WAN, and Cloud environments!
