# Force

FORCE

1. Default value is 0.
2. Used during Upgrade only and to change the currently installed product’s property values for CONFIGNAME and CACHEDMODE, POOLNAME, POOLDB, POOLDB_LOGFOLDER, POOLDB_WRITEFOLDER, RUNONPARENT, PROXYCONNECTIONHUB, AUTODETECTPROXY, AUTOCONFIGSCRIPT, HTTPSPROXY.
3. If FORCE=0 or the property is not set in the command line argument because the default is 0, the Upgrade process will ignore CONFIGNAME, CACHEDMODE, POOLNAME, POOLDB, POOLDB_LOGFOLDER, POOLDB_WRITEFOLDER, RUNONPARENT, PROXYCONNECTIONHUB, AUTODETECTPROXY, AUTOCONFIGSCRIPT, HTTPSPROXY property values in the command line and NOT change the currently installed product’s property value. A typical Upgrade will not change the property setting.
4. If FORCE=1 is used on the command line argument, the Upgrade process will be forced to use the command line properties (CONFIGNAME, CACHEDMODE, POOLNAME, POOLDB, POOLDB_LOGFOLDER, POOLDB_WRITEFOLDER, RUNONPARENT, PROXYCONNECTIONHUB, AUTODETECTPROXY, AUTOCONFIGSCRIPT, HTTPSPROXY) values to change the currently installed product’s property value. Default values are used if not set.
