Importing Code Using Terminal

Here are the steps for importing code using Terminal:

1. Open Terminal. From the Windows System Tray, click the cube and then click Terminal on the menu.

2. Verify that Terminal is pointed at the correct namespace. In this case, we want the USER namespace. If necessary, use the zn command to change namespaces.

   
   SAMPLES>zn "user"
   USER>

3. Use the $SYSTEM.OBJ.Load method to load the classes contained in an XML file into Caché and compile them.

   
   USER>Write $SYSTEM.OBJ.Load("C:\InterSystems\Cache\Dev\tutorials\security\Zen_Authenticate.xml","ck")

   Note that the ck argument causes the loaded classes to be compiled and any generated source code to be saved.
