Start-Up Options
Interactive geospatial schema editing is done with the Geospatial Administrator (geospatialadmin.exe). This executable is found in ...\Program Files\OpenCities Map <product version>\OpenCities Map installation folder. You can specify which schema to open by using the -l option:
geospatialadmin.exe -l=full_file_specification.xml
The executable can be run without the splash screen by adding -nosplash
geospatialadmin.exe -nosplash -l=full_file_specification.xml
In the same folder, you'll find geospatialadminCL.exe which provides the ability to generate (export) workspaces without a visible user interface. For convenience you can also make use of the recently opened file history in the "File" menu for quick access to previously opened schema files.
GeospatialAdminCL has a variety of options which can be reviewed with the following: GeospatialAdminCL /?

Examples:
GeospatialAdminCL.exe -l=d:\projects\ProjectABC.xml -sa=d:\projects\ProjectXYZ.xml Saves ProjectABC.xml to ProjectXYZ.xml
GeospatialAdminCL.exe -l=d:\projects\ProjectXYZ.xml -sw1=Designer -xe Opens ProjectXYZ.xml, sets the first workset to Designer, and exports all metadata and workset files.
