How to add webterminal when you have no terminal access

Article

Theo Stolker · Jan 15 1m read

I though this is a pretty cool way of installing webterminal in an environment where I had Management Portal / Visual code access, but I had no terminal access.
zpm was already present. otherwise you could add it in the same class.

Create the following class file
Compile. This will take a while, and then you will see the output from zpm!
You can now open the webterminal by opening http://your-host/terminal/

Class Theo.Util.Webterminal Extends %RegisteredObject
{

/// Description
ClassMethod install() As %Status [ CodeMode = objectgenerator ]
{
    zpm "install webterminal"
}

}

Nice "hack" in using ObjectScript Code Generator! ObjectScript is a powerful tool!

I am getting a 401 error when trying to reach the page after install. I am running IRIS 2022.1.2 (Build 574U) on my laptop.

This did not work for me either. I used ##class(HS.UI.Navigation.RestHandler).BuildRootUrl()

to get the host url. Then tried to launch the web terminal as listed in step 3. I got this error

"the requested URL/terminal was not found on this server"

@Theo Stolker
Is there a step that may have been missed in these instructions?

the final slash after terminal is important !

http://localhost:52773/terminal/

you can verify the installation in SMP System > Security Management > Web Applications

Hi. Note (which should be obvious), the typo in that there are only two 't's in http, so:

http://localhost:52773/terminal/

Alternate approach:
in SMP SQL run this:

CREATE PROCEDURE ZPM.terminal() LANGUAGE OBJECTSCRIPT
{
 zpm "install webterminal"
 quit 1
}

 and next
 SELECT ZPM.terminal()
