Start-Up Options
Interactive geospatial schema editing is done with the Geospatial Administrator (geospatialadmin.exe). This executable is found in ...\Program Files\OpenCities Map CONNECT Edition\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.
