Using options files

Use options files when you want the StaticBinder utility to process multiple pureQueryXML files or statement sets, and you want to use different options for each of these objects.

An options file lists the pureQueryXML files or statement sets within pureQueryXML files that you want the StaticBinder utility to process, and the options that tell the StaticBinder utility how to process these objects. You can set default options that apply to all of the objects that you list in an options file. You can also set options that are specific to individual objects.

The StaticBinder utility processes the entries in the order in which they are listed.

In the command to run the StaticBinder utility, you can specify the options file to use with the -optionsFile option.

You can also include comments in options files by prefacing each line of a comment with a # symbol. If you need this symbol to appear in the value of one of the options, enclose the value in double-quotation marks, like this:
-pkgVersion "ver#1"
When you run the StaticBinder utility from a command line and use an options file, the utility recognizes options in the following order of precedence:
  1. Options on the command line
  2. Options for individual pureQueryXML files and statement sets that are in the specified options file
  3. Default options in the specified options file
