Command Line Usage

You can run PIESConverter from a command line. This can be useful for automation or batch processing.

First, copy the following files to the directory where you run the command:

PIESConv.exe
PIESConv.exe.config
PIESConverter.Core.dll
PIESConverter.Core.dll.config

The syntax is:

.\PIESConv /input=filename /output=filename /version=piesver /log=dir

Where :

/input is the existing PIES xml file,

/output is the new PIES xml file,

/version sets the target PIES version number (e.g. 7.0) and

/log provides an optional folder name where logfiles are created.

If the /output option is not provided, it will be created in the same folder as the input and with the target PIES version appended to the input filename (e.g. “inputfile_7_0.xml”). If the /log directory is not provided, output will be directed to Stdout.
