Invoking Symantec Visual Café Applications from Command Line

This functionality is supported only if you are using the Classic Agent.

When you invoke Visual Café applications from the command line, the CLASSPATH environment variable is ignored. Therefore, to tell Visual Café about the Java support path, you must use the -classpath argument on the command line to specify the locations of the following class libraries:

Library Path
Java support Java support path
AWT and java.* classes <Visual Café install directory>\java\lib\classes.zip

Symantec Itools classes

This library is required only if your application uses Itools

<Visual Café install directory>\bin\components\SymBeans.jar

To invoke Visual Café applications from the command line:

  1. Move to the directory where your Visual Café executable resides or put this directory on your path. The directory is <Visual Café install directory>\java\bin\.
  2. Enter the following command:
    java.exe -classpath <Java support path>;
      <Visual Café install directory>\java\lib\classes.zip;
      <Visual Café install directory>\bin\components\SymBeans.jar <application>
