Modify user accounts from a flat file

Use the EQCmd.exe utility to add, delete, modify and query user, department and billing code accounts from a flat file. You can also assign users and departments to billing codes. This method is a one-time import and does not synchronize data beyond the import.

Equitrac installs this utility on the accounting server in the Program Files\Nuance\Equitrac\Tools folder.

The command-line utility accepts commands in the following format:

EQCmd -s<Server> <Action> <Obj_type> <Obj_ID>|All [<Options>] 

Execute the command with a batch file:

EQCmd -s<Server> -f<BatchFile>

Command-line parameters enclosed in parentheses < > are mandatory and require a specified value. Parameters within square brackets [ ] are optional entries and do not need to have a specified value if they will not be included in the command. Optional parameters that will be in the command, do require a specified value.

Equitrac accepts CSV files as batch files. Batch operation allows all the command actions except for the “query” command. Use the table below to fill in the parameters.
