/resetuserdbprofile /dbid=1 /username=john,mike,mary

This options resets specified users profile in the specified DB.

3.	/resetuserprofile /dbid=1 /username=john This options resets the user profile itself.

The 'dbid' is the ID of the DB. To get a DB's ID go to Settings --> System Settings --> DB List, then right-click the column header and check ID. The DB's ID will now be displayed. If it is not the MainDB, the dbid will be different.

4.	/resetcachedb /dbid=1 This options resets the cache of the specified DB.

5.	/ignoredefaultdb This option ignores the default DB set by the user and opens the MainDB.

6.	/reconfiguremaindb Sometimes the connection details for the MainDB can change (for e.g. the SQL Server password is changed etc.). In that case you can update the connection details in Globodox via this command line option.

7.	/reconfigureaccessmaindb /dbname=MainDB.gxdb or /reconfiguremssqlmaindb /dbname=MainDB or /reconfiguremysqlmaindb /dbname=MainDB

As explained above the /reconfiguremaindb command is useful when connection details for the MainDB change. But that command does not let you change the type of the MainDB (i.e. if it is MS Access based, then you cannot change it to MS SQL Server). To change the DB Type of the MainDB, use the /reconfigureaccessmaindb or /reconfiguremssqlmaindb or /reconfiguremysqlmaindb commands for MS Access, MS SQL Server and MySQL respectively. These commands are only useful in special situations and should only be used in consultation with our support team.
