The following values are possible:

<advanced parameters> – A parameter that defines use of a configuration file.

-c:<configuration file> – Defines the path to a configuration file that contains the application preferences for updating the application. You can specify an absolute or relative path to the file. If this parameter is not defined, the values set in the application interface are used.
