+6Hi Team,
can please someone explain the different options for the Optype parameter from the SimCallWrapper.exe?
1000 - this is “register client”, as documented.
1001 - is this an uninstall?
1002 - remove existing configuration?
1003 - ?
100x
Thanks,
Johannes

Hi
1000 - Register client (as you mentioned).
1001 - Auto Register (primarily used in re-registrations - uses Commserve Hostname information from the local registry, so not required as an input like when using optype 1000).
1002 - Get Client Configuration XML - This is used if you need to regenerate the PreImageModeFile.XML that is maintained in the Base directory. There is very little reason for an end user to use this optype.
1003 - Third Party Update - I honestly can’t provide much information on this one. Although I can see the definition of the optype, I’m not aware of any practical use case for it. I assume it may be used internally in the software somewhere, however as far as I can tell I don’t see anywhere that it’s been suggested by support or engineering for interactive use.
100 - Encrypt Password - This switch would be used to either encrypt a password or modify the encryption type of a password (for example to translate a v8 encryption string into a v3 encryption string).
101 - Decrypt password - This switch would be used to translate an encrypted password value from v3 / v8 encryption into a clear text string.
Hopefully this helps.

+18Is there a way to release license/deconfigure a client using SimCallWrapper?
Use-case: The end result is wanting to move a client to a different CommServe.
Thanks,
Scott
+19This cannot be done using SimmCallWrapper, but can be done by executing a qcommand see link. However, I would personally create a script that reinstalls the current installed client and perform a fresh install. Reason too do it like this is to make sure there are no local installation and configuration left who point to the old CommCell. In the past, for example, you had the FwConfigInstall.txt that contained the references to the cell to be able to reconnect in case something went wrong with the pushed firewall configuration. Afterwards I would run a script to revoke the clients from the old cell through the API.
