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

Question

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" RAPIDMINER_HOME is not set. Trying the directory '.'... No maximum Java memory defined, using 512 Mb... Starting RapidMiner from '.', using classes from './lib/rapidminer.jar'...

Hi!

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

Nice day!

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.

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.
