Starting the MultiValue Shell

Caché provides the MultiValue shell. In a Windows environment the shell that can be run through a Terminal session. In a Caché supported non-Windows environment, you can access the MultiValue shell through a Telnet session. Complete the following steps to access the MultiValue shell:

In a Windows environment, open the Terminal by clicking the InterSystems Launcher () in the System tray and then clicking Terminal on the menu. Alternatively, click Start–>Programs–>Caché–>Terminal. In a non-Windows environment connect to Caché through Telnet using a terminal emulator.
Launch the MultiValue shell by entering MV at the prompt.
```
USER>MV
```

If this is the first time that the MultiValue shell has been invoked Caché performs some initialization. When this is complete Caché displays a welcome message and then the colon (:) prompt.
