Execute in Background
Begins a new process while you are using this utility.
If enabled, Execute in Background makes Username, Log Path, Trace Window, and Append to Log File available for use.

Command Line Method for Documenting an Application Image (QueryImage)
To generate a report on an application image, start the QueryImage utility by entering the following command at the command line:
w4gldev queryimage imagefile outfile [-nowindows] [-Lfilename]
[-T{yes|yes,min|yes,logonly|all|all,min|all,logonly|no}] [-Ttitletitle] [-A]
The following parameters and flags are available from the command line:
imagefile
Specifies the name of the image file
outfile
Specifies the name of the file to which the report is to be written
-nowindows
Lets the application run without the window manager running. This option does not provide full batch mode execution, because some interaction with the application still may be required through the Trace window.
-Lfilename
Specifies the name of a log file. If the log path specified is not a full path, the file is created in the %II_SYSTEM%\ingres\files directory. You may include the following replacement parameters in the file name.
%p
Replaced by the Process Identifier (PID)
%d
Replaced by the current date in YYYYMMDD format
%t
Replaced by the current time in HH_MM_SS format
