Argument |

-cli |
Close the application once any processing on the opened file is complete. |
-file <alias>=<location> |
Sets the input or output file with the given alias to the location (path) specified. Input Excel files should include the sheet name, e.g. file.xlsx[sheet]. Output Excel files may optionally include a sheet name. |

This allows you to process .transform files in batch mode, e.g.:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyDataTransform_v1\EasyDataTransform.exe" "C:\Users\andy\Documents\myfile 1.transform" -file output1=C:\Users\andy\Documents\data1.csv -cli
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyDataTransform_v1\EasyDataTransform.exe" C:\Users\andy\Documents\myfile2.transform -file "input1=C:\Users\andy\Documents\data 2.xlsx[sheet1]" -cli
Put quotes (") around any arguments with spaces (as shown in the examples above).
To do this on a schedule, call a .bat file from a scheduling program, such as Windows Task Scheduler.
