‘installation path\program name.exe’">scenario =scenario number

e.g.: ‘C:\Program Files\Merlin Backoffice Flex\Merlin Backoffice - 64b.exe’ /scenario=5

Open Merlin and automatically start the planner even if it is not checked in auto mode:

‘C:\Program Files\Merlin Backoffice Flex\Merlin Backoffice - 64b.exe’ /site=my site ps /scenario=5
