Hi Richard,

at the version of Cache you are using there is no terminal via web browser. Not even sure if the community webterminal is working with this old version of Cache.

Only recent IRIS versions have introduced a terminal service via web technologies to be used with VSCode.

Hi,

you need a URI protocol for it in the Windows-installation. E.g. "mailto:mail@mail.com" opens the known mailprogram in windows (if any). If you define that you can call e.g. "cacheterm://namespace" that would start the Caché Terminal with defined Namespace.

An example is here: https://dev.to/avinash_tare/how-to-create-own-url-protocol-in-windows-42bj

If this is the solution you want, can't tell. It would be better to have Webterminal installed (IRIS).
