How to get project password for an encrypted project when we run project from Commandline

How to get project password for an encrypted project when we run project from Commandline?

Currently when we run the command from the command line , we must mention the project password in clear text. Commanline command is not taking masked project password to decrypt the project.

Property expansion didn't work in the command line command. are there any options to call the password from system environment variables in to command line?

 

Did anyone try running the encrypted project from command line? 

 

Appreciate any help!

Thanks

    Hi ramaG ! I found your support case, here's what the support team replied - I am posting this so other community members would be able to find the solution. The idea is as follows: to pass the encrypted project password, you need to create an environment variable. You will be able to use it on project launch with the -x - parameter. 

    Also, you can share a bat/bash script, inside of which you can change the value of the environment variable so that this variable won't stay idle in the system.
