Launch MV routine from DOS

[Leon Stokes]

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to launch a Cache MV routine using a dos command?

I need to run  MV routines remotely using the SysInternals paexec utility. I'm working in a mixed Universe and Cache environment and this is how I remotely launch a Universe routine.

Example: paexec <\\Computer> -w <PathOfUVAccount> uv "<MVProgramName> <arg1> <arg2> ..."

What I need is a Cache equivalent of:   uv "<MVProgramName> <arg1> <arg2> ..."

Thanks

You can use the ccontrol command, which is in the instance's bin directory. If you run it with no arguments, it opens a browser window with a list of the options (the page it opens is in the help directory.) For example:

 

  c:\intersystems\cache\bin\ccontrol.exe console testinst %SYS.MV user

 

will open a windows console and run the mv shell in namespace user on instance testint.

ccontrol expects a rountine, not a command, so you need to use the routine ^%SYS.MV instead of the command MV. You also need to do some quoting if you pass arguments, to get past DOS's command handling:

 

  c:\intersystems\cache\bin\ccontrol.exe console testinst "%SYS.MV(\"LIST VOC\")" user

 

The quotes around the "LIST VOC" need to be escaped with backslashes, and the entire routine name needs to be quoted because of the space inside.

 

You'll might want to use your own routine rather than ^%SYS.MV, by putting the #PRAGMA ROUTINENAME into a basic program.

You will probably want to use the "runw" option instead of "console"
