#Terminal

I want to determine what service (eg. %Service_Console) is used for current process.

I can probably use some workarounds, i.e.

• Is %request object present
• Does $Device contain |TRM|
• etc

But is there any centralised way to get current service?

Hi Devs!

Recently I was impressed by @Daniel.Pasco's article where he shares also how he uses terminal aliases.

Terminal aliases is a very powerful tool for developers and sys admins if you often need to call some cumbersome terminal expressions and make it shorter and cleaner. Here is the documentation.
Yes!

But what about Docker environments? What if you are fan of Docker dev environments but also want to keep using your favorite aliases with Docker as well?

Turned out it is very possible.

I just realized that operating system command execution does not work on Windows console if the IRIS service is started using a different user than Local System account (the default).

I always change the user configured in the IRIS service and I believe this is a standard good practice, particularly in "real" environments (be it production, stage, test or development) that are part of Windows Active Directory Domain.

Hello,

I need to run some clean up routine in the background so loss of my terminal session won't stop the process.

I found the JOB command in the documentation.
JOB | ObjectScript Reference | InterSystems IRIS Data Platform 2022.1

When I try it, it doesn't seem to be doing much. I also expected this to become visible in the Background Tasks but that doesn't happen either.

Probably I am missing something.

I entered the irissession SERVER command and got the prompt PROMPT>

Now I want to exit this and return to the generic aix prompt $

I try q, quit, e, exit... none of these work.

I try to run a small test routine (guessing a random number) in WebTerminal but the result looks broken.
in IRISterminal:

in WebTerminal:

I think it relates to backspace.
Is there some special setting required?

The code:

Hi folks!

When I start IRIS in docker every time I do the following:

$ docker-compose up -d --build

$ docker-compose exec iris iris session iris

USER>zn "NAMESPACEINEED"

Is it possible to have an open terminal command connect to a particular namespace?

I was searching for the most simple way to connect from visual studio code to my local instance via terminal without having to change any window.

I know this can also be achieved via telnet but seems a bit overhead if you're in your local machine.

For me the simplest sollution is to open a terminal window in VS Code, navigate to the /bin folder of your instance installation and run .\csession.exe INSTANCENAME

For simplicity you can just include your /bin folder in your path so you don't even need to navigate there

hi, everybody!

i wanna connect to a remote server through Terminal.

after i add a server in [Preferred Server] and click the server name( [Remote System Access]->[Terminal] -> server name)

i got an Error dialog telling me that:

Failed to establish security context.

Reason:(-2146893042, 0x8009030e)No credentials are available in the security package

so do i miss some configuration?

Grateful for your help!

How could I log out from Cache terminal (connected through csession) and back to the system shell?

Thanks.

In this recent post I highlighted the importance of a CSP session's Key property in enforcing the level of security your web application may be relying on, and in particular the need to keep the property value secret.

As stated in title, I want to log everything I type/get in the terminal to a log file, is there a setting like this somewhere?

Preferably I'd like to enable it once and that's it.

I need to perform additional checks before Cache user logins (let's say in a terminal for simplicity) and allow access only to those, who passed them. How do I do it?

After reading about delegated authentication in docs I created this ZAUTHENTICATE routine:

Hi folks!

I'm building a very simple REST API.

But before testing it via a Web Server what I want to make sure that REST API methods work in principle.

Is it an easy way to "fake" the web-server request and get a result e.g. of the method with signature like that?

ClassMethod GetAllRecords(pRequest As %CSP.Request, pResponse As %CSP.Response) As %Status

e.g. calling it in Terminal?
