Starting the application

Data Crow creates a shortcut after installation. You can also start Data Crow manually:
Java -jar datacrow.jar or
datacrow.exe

Using a different database

To create an additional database: -db:<database name>.

Allowing Data Crow to use more memory

To allow Data Crow access to more memory start Data Crow with the following parameters:
Java -Xmx512m -jar datacrow.jar

Starting the web server

You can start the web server without opening the main application by using the -webserver parameter. This parameter can be used in combination with the credentials parameter to bypass all the GUI stuff (such as the splash screen and the login dialog).

Specifying the login credentials

Parameter: -credentials:username/password
Specifies the login credentials to start Data Crow without displaying the login dialog.

Avoiding the use of cached items

Data Crow creates cache files instead of loading all items from the database on every startup. In case there are issues Data Crow can be forced to discard the cache and load all the items from the database instead: -nocache

Add additional information to log (debug)

Append -debug to the startup command of Data Crow to log debug information.

Using an alternative data folder

Specify an alternative data folder by using the -datadir: parameter (followed by the data folder like so: -datadir:d:\data%20crow\data). Spaces need to be substituted by %20.
