To start Pega Robot Runtime from the command line and specify the name of the project (or package) that you want your users to run, include the -d or Project= parameter. This way, your Pega Robot Runtime users do not have to select the project from the Runtime menu that is available from the task bar.

To load a project, perform the following steps:

1. Open a command prompt window.
2. At the command prompt, enter the command to start Pega Robot Runtime and include the -d or Project= parameter. Include quotation marks (") around the path and project name.

For version 19.1 and later, to load a project, enter the following on the command line:

C:\{path to the Synchronization Engine install folder}\Pega.Loader.exe -d "path and project name"

For version 8.0 SP1 and earlier, to load a project named example.openspan, enter the following on the command line:

C:\{path}\OpenSpan.Runtime.exe Project="C:\OpenSpanDeploymentFiles\example.openspan"
