[--intermediate]

The --intermediatefile parameter allows intermediate results to be stored in a file or in memory.

Syntax

--intermediatefile=<String>
<String>: RAM, - oder <Dateiname>

Description

By specifying RAM as intermediate result file, no file is created on the file system. This is useful if no (write) access to the file system is possible on a system. Writing an intermediate file may take a lot of time, which can be saved by using this parameter.

Possible values for <String> are:

String	Description
RAM	Writes intermediate results to memory. No intermediate results are written to a file on the file system.
<filename>	Writes intermediate results in the file „<filename>.rtf“.
-	Explicitly deactivates the intermediate results per parameter.

Example

--intermediatefile=Zwischenergebnis

The parameter --intermediatefile writes the intermediate result to the file intermediatefile.rtf .

Note

Alternatively, the file for the intermediate results can be specified via the environment variable "CIB_MRGINTERMEDIATE".

The parameter can be set for all merge processes using the "AUTOSTART" functionality (from Merge 3.9.104 and 3.8.130). For this purpose, the "AUTOSTART" parameter file can be patched directly into the binary file via hex editor or the environment variable "CIB_MRGAUTOSTART" can be set with the parameter file name.
