I have just downloaded the Cache evaluation copy and installed it. I
have have no idea what to do next. Apparently there are tutorials? Can
anyone point me in the direction of an idiots guide to what to do
after you have installed Cache and want to start learning how to use
it please?

Thanks!

Did you install it on Windows? If so, do you see the "cube" in the
lower right hand corner of your client computer? Click that cube and
you can do a lot, such as

1. Go to the colon prompt by going to Terminal
2. Open up Studio (there are standard login/pwd you can see in the doc)
3. Go to the doc, which has some getting started manuals -- look for the MV ones
4. Go to the System Management Portal where you can do a lot of system
management

Good luck and ask Qs as you have 'em. Cheers! --dawn

Hi Dawn - thanks for your reply.

Actually, I downloaded it to a MAC so I don't see a cube. So, how do I
open the Studio on a MAC? Is it a separate download?

Unfortunately, Studio is Windows only. Most Mac users I know use some
sort of virtual machine to run Studio. If you have Parallels or VMWare
Fusion, install there. If you don't, VirtualBox is an excellent free
virtual machine. You will need to install a developer version of Cache
in your virtual machine and then point it to your Cache install on your Mac.

Good Luck,

Jason

Thanks Jason,

I guess for evaluation purposes it will be easier to download the
Windows version and install it in VMWare.

Without setting up studio in a vm as jason described, you can still view documentation and work in a terminal window. Open a mac terminal and type in the ccontrol command:
--------------------------------
blackmac:~ eclark$ ccontrol list

Configuration 'CACHE'
directory: /Applications/Cache
versionid: 2011.1.0.190.0
conf file: cache.cpf (SuperServer port = 1972, WebServer = 57772)
status: down, last used Fri May 21 12:38:24 2010
--------------------------------
ccontrol list shows you what cache instance you have installed. In my case I have one instance named CACHE. When you DO get around to installing studio on windows to connect, you will need the superserver port and webserver ports to set up a connection from the cube. Meanwhile...

If ccontrol shows the status as "down" like mine does, then you need to start cache. use:
ccontrol start cache
and later to stop it use:
ccontrol stop cache quietly
If you don't add "quietly" then you will be prompted for some information.

Now that you know where cache is, and have it up and running, you can view the getting started page. Go to url:
http://localhost:57772/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GettingStarted
Note that the port after localhost is the webserver port shown by "ccontrol list". The cache install may also have shown you this url during the install process (if you installed using the .dmg file, you wouldn't have seen it)
The getting started page has the tutorials and links to other information.

To start a cache shell:
----------------------------------
blackmac:~ eclark$ csession cache

Node: blackmac.local, Instance: CACHE

USER>
----------------------------------
You are at a prompt where you can enter object script commands in the USER namespace. You probably want to dive right into multivalue though, so:
-----------------------------------
USER>mv
Terminal type CACHE loaded.
[202] 'xterm-color' not on file.

* MultiValue Shell *
* Cache for UNIX (Apple Mac OS X for x86-64) 2011.1 (Build 190U) Mon May 3 2010 20:42:33 EDT*

[150] Two digit years default to the years 1900 to 1999.
USER:
------------------------------------
And you are at a familiar TCL command prompt. You can use LIST to see what's in the VOC, ED or JED to edit items, etc. To exit the mv shell, use the QUIT command, and to exit the object script shell use the H command.

Welcome to InterSystems and MultiValue in Caché. I am the product manager for MultiValue and am happy to help. Feel free to call me and we can chat.

You will find some information in our documentation that will help you get started.

If you have in stalled on Windows, click the blue cube in your system tray and select Documentation. There is a MultiValue button on the left that lists targeted information. You may find the Operational Differences document useful as well as the MultiValue Quick Start Tutorial.

I just noticed that you downloaded to your Mac. To get to the documentation, type the following url into Safari:

http://localhost:57776/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.HomePageZen.cls

localhost will be what ever server on which you installed Caché. 57776 is the web port being used and would be 57772 for your first instance of Caché.
