SFConnect resource parameter is mandatory

Symptoms

When running SFConnect, the resource parameter is mandatory even though it is shown to be optional. Running command lines that should not require the resource parameter results in the following error message:

Missing argument to launch published resource
Define the /resource argument to define the resource to be launched

and

The result is RequiredParameterMissed

This behavior happens with the following parameters:

• GetResources
• GetProtocols

Cause

There is a bug in SFConnect that inadvertently ignores the parameter definition for the resource parameter which defines it as mandatory after all. 

Solution

To work around this issue, please pass a dummy resource name by adding /resource dummy to the command line. It doesn't matter if this resource exists or not.
