Execute
Execute a class method or routine.
Synopsis
[Actions]
Execute:Namespace=namespace,[Additional Properties]
Description
Execute executes a class or routine. InterSystems IRIS® executes the defined class or routine when processing the [Actions] section during a configuration merge. The Execute parameters are always processed last. You specify the class or routine and its arguments in the Execute definition. During the merge, InterSystems IRIS runs the class or routine defined by Execute.
Examples
You can execute a class or a routine with Execute. For example:
Execute the class method SYS.ClassA.MethodZ() and pass three arguments to it; equivalent of SYS.ClassA.MethodZ("arg1","arg2","arg3"):
Execute:Namespace="%SYS",ClassName="SYS.ClassA",MethodName="MethodZ",Arg1="arg1",Arg2="arg2",Arg3="arg3"
Load and compile classes from an XML file; equivalent of $SYSTEM.OBJ.Load("c:\iris\test.xml","ck"):
Execute:Namespace="%SYS",ClassName=%SYSTEM.OBJ,MethodName="Load",Arg1="c:\iris\test.xml",Arg2="ck"
Run a routine and pass two arguments to it; equivalent of $$Tag2^ZTEST("arg1","arg2"):
Execute:Namespace="%SYS",RoutineName="$$Tag2^ZTEST",Arg1="arg1",Arg2="arg2"
Changing this Operation
This operation is designed to be used during a configuration merge. You can change Execute by editing the merge file in a text editor (as described in Editing the Active CPF).
