"how to execute a process with macro variables at the command line"

onesix4

I have reviewed several post in trying to understand how to execute my RapidMiner process from the command line...

HERE IS THE COMMAND I RUN:
$ ./scripts/rapidminer -f ../DUMMY-SO2/TTT_REFACTORING/HTTP_ct5_categories.rmp "-MdateT=2010-11-11" "-Mtmzone=PST" "-MOutFile=/tmp/HTTP_ct5_cat_result.csv"

* When I run the process "HTTP_ct5_categories"  from the GUI - I pass the process-context-macro:  dateT  ,  tmzone , OutFile
I'm trying to pass these macro variables at the command line. 

Here is the output when I run it from command line:

ubuntu:~/Rapid/rapidminer$ ./scripts/rapidminer -f ../DUMMY-SO2/TTT_REFACTORING/HTTP_ct5_categories.rmp "-MdateT=2010-11-11" "-Mtmzone=PST" "-MOutFile=/tmp/HTTP_ct5_cat_result.csv"

Hi,

this looks like a bug. What happens if you move the -f argument to the end of the command line? Have you tried to access a process via its repository location instead of plain file access, as in Marcin's example in this thread: http://rapid-i.com/rapidforum/index.php/topic,5545.msg19659.html#msg19659

Best regards,
Marius

You are using a wrong version. Injecting macros from the command line is supported by RapidMiner >5.3 which is not released yet. You have to wait or use the source code on  sourceforge which is up-to-date.

I get the same results when removing the '-f' option.
Marcin - thanks for the post, looks like I will have to wait the next release.

Hi!

This format is incorrect: "-MdateT=2010-11-11"
The correct one is: -"MdateT=2010-11-11"

Nice day!
