Environment
Vista

Cause
The message indicates that when invoking the Vista executable only certain triggers are allowed.

Resolution
Each of the triggers below will launch Vista with that particular function.

1. -N refers to the name in the software table, typically VISTA.<machinename>
2. -U\-P are username\password - say supervisor\0.  This will allow Vista to launch without prompting for login credentials.
3. -I is for translation.  This switch loads the file named 'internat.txt' within \confg\internat and contains translated strings that the user can provide.  This will create a translated interface for that particular user even if it is different from the language package selected at installation.
4. -Geventviewer will launch Vista with a Global Event viewer.

You can add these arguments to a cmd line or shortcut, so the user does not have to authenticate and Vista will just start.

An example of using all triggers through a command prompt is below:



This will launch Vista using the node name 'instance', the supervisor/0 login, with translation from the internat.txt file, and with a Global Event viewer.  In order for the Global Event viewer to display the 'Show Global Event Viewer' option under the View drop-down menu within Vista must be unchecked.  All triggers can be used in the same command or individually.
