COM Input Format Parameters

The COM input format supports the following parameters:

iProgID
  Values: COM ProgID
  Default: not specified
  Description: ProgID of the Custom Input Format COM Plugin.
  Details: This parameter is used to specify the version-independent ProgID of the custom input format COM object selected for the current query.
  Example: -iProgID:MSUtil.LogQuery.Sample.QFE
 
iCOMParams
  Values: name=value[,name=value ...]
  Default: not specified
  Description: Parameters for the Custom Input Format COM Plugin.
  Details: The value of this parameter is a comma-separated list of name-value pairs specifying property names and values for Custom Input Format COM Plugins implemented through the IDispatch COM interface.
If property names or their values contain space characters, the value of this parameter should be surrounded by double-quote (") characters.
For more information on custom properties exposed by COM plugins, see Custom Properties in the COM Input Format Plugins reference.
  Example: -iCOMParams:TargetMachine=localhost,ExtendedFields=on
 
iCOMServer
  Values: computer name
  Default: localhost
  Description: Computer name on which the Custom Input Format COM Plugin is to be instantiated.
  Details: Plugin COM objects supporting Distributed COM (DCOM) can be instantiated on a remote computer, thus providing a means for the custom input format to process data on a computer different than the computer running the Log Parser query.
  Example: -iCOMServer:MYSERVER01
