Is there a way to use IRIS from command line (eg: batch file), the same way as it can be done in CACHE ?
We recently migrated to IRIS. Before, the CACHE.EXE executable could be invoked from a batch file directly :
C:\InterSystems\Cache\bin\cache.exe -s C:\InterSystems\Cache\mgr -U %SYS
This will display the following in console :
Node: DESKTOP-8H4B321, Instance: CACHE
USER>
Additionally, the pipe instruction can be used to redirect some commands directly
echo write 50 | C:\InterSystems\Cache\bin\cache.exe -s C:\InterSystems\Cache\mgr -U %SYS
I am looking for the same thing in IRIS. If I do the same command line with IRIS executable, I got an error :
Invalid argument to IRIS : -s
I have looked into documentation and the following can be used but it's not the equivalent :
IRIS.exe run IRIS
IRIS.exe console IRIS
IRIS.exe terminal IRIS
EDIT : I found a similar question here
should do the trick
Thanks. This is the same trick as what I found in "InterSystems IRIS Adoption Guide".
If I wrote this in command line (eg: iris session IRIS), it outputs the command line documentation (which indicate something went wrong). "iris console IRIS" works by the way. Do I need to enable something before I can use session parameter ?
EDIT : it seems that irissession.exe is the equivalent on Windows.
sorry, in front of me is a linux... but what about
Does this work for you?
I forgot to mention I am on Windows.
"iris terminal" works somehow. There is several issues with this approach :
- it does not redirect input/output (eg: echo 50 | iris terminal IRIS). One workaround is to put commands into a routine and call it explicitly : iris terminal IRIS MYROUTINE %SYS
- it does not block/wait until completion (which is an issue since I use that command from a deployment tool that need to know once it's done)
- there is no way to provide custom credentials (eg: execute commands with a specific user)
in IRIS,
cache[.exe]renamed toirisdb[.exe]cconttrol[.exe]renamed toiris[.exe]So, just use irisdb.exe instead of cache.exe
