The Bentley Geospatial Administrator (geospatialadmin.exe) should be used for all interactive geospatial schema editing. The following command line should automatically open the specified schema:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;code&gt;geospatialadmin.exe -l=full_file_specification.xml&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;The argument is a lower case L followed by an equal sign followed by a complete path and file specification. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The geospatialadminCL.exe is intended to provide a mechanism by which you can generate (e.g. &amp;quot;Export&amp;quot;) workspaces from a Geospatial schema file for use in batch processing w/o a visible user interface.&amp;nbsp;For convenience you can also make use of the recently opened file history in the &amp;quot;File&amp;quot; menu for quick access to previously opened schema files. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

You need to use geospatialadminCL instead of geospatialadmin. CL stands for Command Line. This should solve your problem.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: passing command line arguments to Bentley Geospatial Administrator</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/39771?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:42:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:9becf5fe-3408-45e0-a6b3-582be2613793</guid><dc:creator>Jerry Walter - Bentley</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;
Please make sure that this can run in the GSA interface first and then run it via the command line. the order of theparameters make a big difference. See my post on the &lt;a href="http://communities.bentley.com/Products/Geospatial/Desktop/w/Geospatial_Desktop__Wiki/geospatial-administrator-tips---tricks.aspx"&gt;GSA Tips and Techniques&amp;nbsp;wiki&lt;/a&gt; concerning the command line parameter order.&amp;nbsp;
