Basic startup
To start FCDS:
1 Open the DOS command prompt window.
2 Navigate to the FirstClassDS folder.
3 Enter one of the following commands:
• fcds
Runs FCDS with the default startup parameters, or, if FCDS is running as a Windows service, with the parameters you specified.
• fcds/FC=settings file/NOLOG="information to exclude"
Runs FCDS with the specified startup parameters.
The FCDS console window opens.
After you have started FCDS, it will run in the background indefinitely. If you ever need to stop it, choose File > Exit from the console window, or close this window.
Startup parameters
settings file is the name of the settings file you created for FCDS. The name that FCDS expects by default is fcds.fc.
"information to exclude" specifies logging information that you don't want the FCDS console to display. You can type any string you want, enclosed in quotation marks. For example, you could specify a node name if you don't want to see details about a specific node. These are the standard NOLOG values:
• ""
Logs everything (Debug level).
• "DEBUG"
Excludes debug information (Detailed level).
• "DEBUG;WARNING"
Excludes debug information and warnings (Normal level).
• "DEBUG;WARNING;INFO"
Excludes debug information, warnings, and informational messages (Basic level).
• "DEBUG;WARNING;INFO;ERROR"
Doesn't log anything (Quiet level).
You can type multiple strings, and combine your own strings with a standard value. Use ; to separate each string, and enclose the complete NOLOG value in quotation marks
(example: NOLOG="Connection;BASIC").
The default command is
fcds/FC=fcds.fc/NOLOG="DEBUG;WARNING"
Other ways to start FCDS
You can also start FCDS in the following ways:
• double-click fcds.exe in the FirstClassDS folder
This starts FCDS with the default startup parameters.
• create a shortcut to fcds.exe.
If you do this, you can either run with the default startup parameters or specify your own parameters as part of the shortcut properties.
