Command-Line Programs

Command-Line Introduction

This section of the Qorus Integration Engine® manual describes command-line programs delivered with Qorus. Other command-line programs delivered with Qore are not documented here such as:

Note
The system environment must be properly set up for Qorus command-line programs to work; see Configure Environment Variables for more information on environment variables required for Qorus.

make-release: Qorus Release Packager

Usage
make-release [options] [release-label] [files...]

The make-release script should be used to package Qorus user releases for automated installation. This script will package all files to be delivered and created an automated installation package using oload to load all objects into the target Qorus schema.

The script assumes that user files are stored relative to the current directory; use the –U, -p, or -P options to change.

The script creates the release in $HOME/releases in a subdirectory named qorus-user-release-label. To change the target directory, use the –r option (or set the $QORUS_RELEASE_DIR environment variable before running the script).

This script creates a release directory with the following contents:

Release Directory Contents

Filename Description
install.sh The automated installer script. This script is copied from $OMQ_DIR/templates
qorus-user-release-label.tar.gz The compressed tar archive of the user files to be installed
releases/qorus-user-release-label.qrf A loader command file is automatically created for all Qorus objects to be loaded in the new schema

The install.sh script in this directory can be edited (actions added to the pre_install and post_install functions) if necessary (for example, to delete services or delete cached workflow definitions to ensure that new objects are immediately used).

The release can be tar’ed and compressed for distribution by using the -c option.

Note
The make-release script should always be used to create new releases as future version of Qorus Integration Engine® will likely include release tracking and rollback support, and make-release will allow these features to be used transparently.

Options Supported by make-release

Long Option Short Description
–python-modules=ARG -a Package the given directory as a Python module dir to be installed in the target under $OMQ_DIR/user/python/lib/python<version>/site-packages by default

ocmd: Command-Line Interface to the Qorus RPC API

Usage
ocmd [options] method [arguments]

This command provides a command-line interface to the old and deprecated Qorus RPC API. It executes by connecting to the Qorus HTTP server and issuing YAML-RPC, XML-RPC, or JSON-RPC commands. Responses are deserialized into a Qore data structure, and the resulting data is then displayed on the console.

Note
The RPC API is not subject to new development and is only provided for backwards compatibility; it is recommended to use qrest instead which is the primary interface to the REST API, which is where all new features and functionality are implemented for recent versions of Qorus.

By default, ocmd uses the YAML-RPC protocol to communicate with the Qorus server.

To submit XML-RPC web service calls, specify xmlrpc or xmlrpcs (for XML-RPC over a TLS/SSL-encrypted HTTPS transport) protocol in the URL (ex: "xmlrpc://server1:8501"), however please note that XML-RPC does not support time zones or fractional second resolution, so date/time information returned by the server may not be displayed correctly by client programs when this protocol is used.

To submit JSON-RPC web service calls, specify jsonrpc or jsonrpcs (for JSON-RPC over a TLS/SSL-encrypted HTTPS transport) protocol in the URL (ex: "jsonrpc://server1:8501"), however please note that JSON does not have native date/time or binary types, so such information returned by the server may not be displayed correctly by client programs when this protocol is used.

Note that command-line arguments are parsed with Util::parse_to_qore_value(), so that complex values can be provided as arguments.

For example, to get help on system API method omq.system.add-user():

unixprompt% ocmd help add-user

Be aware that this program is delivered as a Qore-language script, and, as such, requires either the $OMQ_DIR or $QORE_MODULE_DIR environment variables to be set to find the Qorus client module, if not located in the default location.

Note
Any RPC API method supported by Qorus can be called from the command-line by using this program (including methods which act as gateways to system and user services). However, several other programs have been developed to provide a more user-friendly interface to some common functions.

Options Supported by ocmd

Long Option Short Description
–foreign -f Do not process the method name (do not prepend "omq.system." to method names not containing a '.')
–help -h Prints command help text
–literal -l Show literal responses, giving the option 2 times shows HTTP headers
–monitor -m Monitor network events – shows details about all network communication with the Qorus server

–xml -x Shows the literal YAML, XML, or JSON response (formatted)

ojview: Show Job Information

Usage
ojview [options]

This program displays information about the status of Qorus Jobs and of job processing. Without options, an overview is given of all job instances in the last 24 hours.

Depending on the options given on the command-line, detailed information can be retrieved and output for the objects desired.

For example, to see an overview of all job data with no time limitations:

unixprompt% ojview –a 

To see the detailed status of job instance ID 9649, with job info and error info:

unixprompt% ojview –v j:9649 
Note
Depending on the options given, this command shows information retrieved from the Qorus by calling various methods of the system.info service (see jobinfo for more information).

Be aware that this program is delivered as a Qore-language script, and, as such, requires either the $OMQ_DIR or $QORE_MODULE_DIR environment variables to be set to find the Qorus client module, if not located in the default location.

oload: Data Loading Tool and Schema Manager

Usage
oload [options] [workflow|order|service|function file(s) ...]

This program is used to load new code and object descriptions into the Qorus database. It can also be used to run SQL files into Qorus datasources, but, as of Qorus version 2.0.0, oload calls schema-tool to actually execute the SQL. If functions, services, workflows, or orders are changed or inserted, then oload will attempt to refresh the Qorus server’s cache by calling the REST API PUT system/metadata/reload... method. Normally this program should be run by automated installation scripts, however during development this tool may be used to manipulate schema objects by hand.

The loader recognizes the file type based on its extension, therefore metadata files must have the appropriate extensions as documented below.

Metadata File Suffixes

Suffix Description
*.qfd Deprecated Function Definition File
*.qwf Deprecated Qore-Language Workflow Definition File
*.qsd or *.qsd.java Deprecated Service Definition File
*.qjob or *.qjob.java Deprecated Job Definition Files
*.qclass or *.qclass.java Deprecated Class Definition File
*.qconn Deprecated Connection Definition Files
*.qconst Deprecated Constant Definition File
*.qrf Loader Release File Description
*.qsm User Schema Module Files
*.qmapper Deprecated Mapper Files
*.qscript Custom Release Script Files
*.tar* Qorus release packages with a single subdirectory containing at least install.sh
*.yaml YAML Definition Files of Qorus Objects

If an object already exists, it will be redefined by the oload program.

Loader Release File Description

The loader supports release files which are useful for packaging automated releases. Release files are text files with simple instructions that are executed by the loader.

Each command takes one or no arguments. The commands in the following table are supported:

Load Release File Commands

Command Argument Description
load Filename Loads the specified file into the database
omquser-exec-sql Filename Executes the file as an SQL script using schema-tool in the user schema
check-shutdown n/a Checks if the Qorus server is running; if so, prints an error message and exits
refresh-all n/a Will reset all affected workflows, services, and jobs
refresh-services n/a Will reset all jobs directly loaded in the server
refresh-recursive n/a Will reset all affected workflows, services, and jobs directly listed or used by any library code (functions, classes, constants, etc) loaded
refresh-services n/a Will reset any services directly loaded to ensure that the new configuration is used on the next method call
refresh-workflows n/a Will call omq.system.reset-workflow() to refresh the cached configuration on all workflow updated

Be aware that this program is delivered as a Qore-language script, and, as such, requires either the $OMQ_DIR or $QORE_MODULE_DIR environment variables to be set to find the Qorus client module, if not located in the default location.

Qorus Client Domain Options

oprop: System Property Tool

Usage
oprop [options] [[get|set] [domain [key [value]]]]

This script provides easy API-based access to Qorus system properties.

Be aware that this program is delivered as a Qore-language script, and, as such, requires either the $OMQ_DIR or $QORE_MODULE_DIR environment variables to be set to find the Qorus client module, if not located in the default location.

Examples
To display the value of system properties:
unixprompt% oprop get [domain [key]]

If only a domain value is supplied, then all properties in the given domain are returned. If a domain and a key value are supplied, then the value of that key in the given domain is returned. If no parameters are suppled, then all system properties in all domains are returned.

To set the value of a system property:

unixprompt% oprop set domain key [value]

If no value is supplied, then the value and the key given are deleted. When the last key of a domain is deleted, the domain entry is removed as well.

Note
Values are parsed from the string given on the command line with Util::parse_to_qore_value()

Options Supported by oprop

Long Option Short Description
–help -h Prints command help text
–literal -l Show literal responses, giving the option 2 times shows HTTP headers
–proxy-url=ARG -p Set the proxy URL: "http://host:port"; at least host or port must be given; ex: "http://proxy1:8080"; see UNIX Socket Support in URLs
–push=ARG -p read properties from the given file and publish them to the server
–reformat -R reformat data with -l+ for better readability
–remote=ARG -Q use the given remote Qorus connection instead of the local instance
–retrieve=ARG -r retrieve and save current properties to the given file
–show-url -W Shows the default system URL
–timeout=ARG -t Set the HTTP timeout in seconds (also the connect timeout)
–url=ARG -u Set URL: "http://host:port"; at least host or port must be given; ex: "http://server1:8501"; see UNIX Socket Support in URLs
–verbose -v be more verbose
–xml -x use XML instead of YAML (YAML is the default)

ostart: Start Workflow Execution Instances

Usage
ostart [options] name [version] [mode] [option=value]

This program allows the user to easily start execution instances of a workflow and optionally set options on the instance. If the version argument is not given on the command-line, the latest version of the workflow will be assumed. If the mode value is not given on the command-line, then the mode is assumed to be OMQ::WM_Normal.

Note
Best practice in Qorus is to set the autostart value of workflows to a positive number, which allows Qorus to automatically start and stop workflows when the system is running and all their dependencies are satisfied. In this case the ostart and ostop programs are normally not used.

For example, to start an execution instance of the latest version of workflow CREATE-ACCOUNT:

unixprompt% ostart CREATE-ACCOUNT 
Note
This method provides a user-friendly interface to the Qorus API method:

Be aware that this program is delivered as a Qore-language script, and, as such, requires either the $OMQ_DIR or $QORE_MODULE_DIR environment variables to be set to find the Qorus client module, if not located in the default location.

Options Supported by ostart

Long Option Short Description
–file=ARG -f Reads in an XML file created by ostatus –r and starts all workflows with the options given in the file.
–help -h Prints command help text
–proxy-url=ARG -p Set the proxy URL: "http://host:port"; at least host or port must be given; ex: "http://proxy1:8080"; see UNIX Socket Support in URLs
–remote=ARG -Q use the given remote Qorus connection instead of the local instance
–show-url -W Shows the default URL
–url=ARG -u Set URL: "http://host:port"; at least host or port must be given; ex: "http://server1:8501"; see UNIX Socket Support in URLs

ostatus: Show System, Workflow, and Service Status

Usage
ostatus [options]

This program is capable of displaying system, workflow, and service status. Detailed information on workflows, services, and jobs can be retrieved by using the appropriate command-line arguments, however, by default only a summary line is shown.

For example, to display system information and current system option status:

unixprompt% ostatus -oS 

For information about the state of workflows and orders in the database, use the oview command; use the ojview command for job information.

Be aware that this program is delivered as a Qore-language script, and, as such, requires either the $OMQ_DIR or $QORE_MODULE_DIR environment variables to be set to find the Qorus client module, if not located in the default location.

Options Supported by ostatus

Long Option Short Description
–callstack[=ARG] -C Shows a filtered execution call stack of every active thread in the Qorus server; use -CC to show an unfiltered list (to display also waiting threads)
–help -h Prints command help text
–jobs -j Display active job information (use -v for more information)
–methods -m Display method information when displaying service info (use -v or -vv for more information)
–options -o Show the values of current system options
–prop=ARG -p Retrieves all system properties and saves to an XML file with the given name.
–proxy-url=ARG -p Set the proxy URL: "http://host:port"; at least host or port must be given; ex: "http://proxy1:8080"; see UNIX Socket Support in URLs
–remote=ARG -Q use the given remote Qorus connection instead of the local instance
–restore-autostart=ARG -E Restores autostart status from a YAML-encoded file created with -A; names, versions, and workflowids must match for updates to be made; only differences are updated in the system
–retrieve=ARG -r Retrieves the current running workflow list and all options and saves to an XML file for use with ostart
–save-autostart=ARG -A Saves the autostart status to a YAML-encoded file for later restoration with -E
–services -s Display service information (use –v, -vv, or -m for more information)
–show-url -W Shows the default URL
–system -S Show additional system information
–timeout=ARG -t Set the HTTP timeout in seconds (also the connect timeout)
–url=ARG -u Set URL: "http://host:port"; at least host or port must be given; ex: "http://server1:8501"; see UNIX Socket Support in URLs
–verbose -v Show more information (more –v’s = more info)
–workflows -w Display running workflow information (use –v or -vv for more information)
Note
It's recommended to use qctl to view thread stacks, as qctl can display thread stacks from any Qorus process, while ostatus can only show thread stacks from the qorus-core process.

ostop: Stop Workflow Instances

Usage
ostop [options] id|name [version]

This program allows the user to easily stop running execution instances of a workflow by either giving the workflow execution instance id or the name and an optional version.

Note
Best practice in Qorus is to set the autostart value of workflows to a positive number, which allows Qorus to automatically start and stop workflows when the system is running and all their dependencies are satisfied. In this case the ostart and ostop programs are normally not used.

For example, to stop all execution instances of workflow CREATE-ACCOUNT:

unixprompt% ostop CREATE-ACCOUNT
Note
This method provides a user-friendly interface to the following Qorus API methods:

Be aware that this program is delivered as a Qore-language script, and, as such, requires either the $OMQ_DIR or $QORE_MODULE_DIR environment variables to be set to find the Qorus client module, if not located in the default location.

Options Supported by ostop

Long Option Short Description
–all -a Stop all running workflows
–help -h Prints command help text
–proxy-url=ARG -p Set the proxy URL: "http://host:port"; at least host or port must be given; ex: "http://proxy1:8080"; see UNIX Socket Support in URLs
–remote=ARG -Q use the given remote Qorus connection instead of the local instance
–show-url -W Shows the default URL
–url=ARG -u Set URL: "http://host:port"; at least host or port must be given; ex: "http://server1:8501"; see UNIX Socket Support in URLs

oview: Show Workflow Instance, Order Status and Overviews

Usage
oview [options]

This program displays information about the status of workflow order data instances in the database. Without options, an overview is given of all workflow order data instances in the last 24 hours that do not have a COMPLETE status.

Depending on the options given on the command-line, detailed information can be retrieved and output for the objects desired.

Workflow errors can be automatically queried as well, and workflow orders can be automatically retried based on the search results with -R.

For example, to see an overview of all workflow data with no time limitations:

unixprompt% oview –ca 

To see the detailed status of workflow order data instance ID 419649, with step and segment details:

unixprompt% oview –ssg w:419649 
Note
Depending on the options given, this command shows information retrieved from the Qorus by calling various methods of the system.info service.

For more information about this service, please see the system.info service.

Be aware that this program is delivered as a Qore-language script, and, as such, requires either the $OMQ_DIR or $QORE_MODULE_DIR environment variables to be set to find the Qorus client module, if not located in the default location.

qctl: Qorus Cluster Control Process

Usage
qctl [options] <cmd> [args...]

qctl is the primary command-line program for Qorus cluster control and can be used to start, stop, restart, and get information about the cluster, among other things.

Examples
To start or recover the cluster, type:
qctl start 

To stop the cluster, type:
qctl stop 

To restart the entire cluster, type:
qctl restart 

To list cluster processes, type:
qctl ps <proc> 

To get information about a running cluster process, type:
qctl info <proc> 

To get thread stacks for a running cluster process, type:
qctl threads <proc> 

To kill a running cluster process, type:
qctl kill <proc> 

To get command-line help, type:

qdsp: Cluster Datasource Pool Process

qdsp is a cluster server process and should only be started by qorus (which in turn should normally be started by qctl).

This process serves a remote database connection pool to other Qorus cluster client processes.

qdsp Coordinated Mode

By default qdsp processes run in centralized or non-coordinated mode, where any DB action through a Qorus datasource will be executed in the qdsp process and results are serialized and transmitted back to the client process using Qorus's ZeroMQ-based internal cluster API.

This mode is slower than direct database access for heavy SQL I/O, but provides very efficient support for many small queries with stable, long-running connections to the database server in case there is large overhead establishing new database sessions.

When coordinated mode is enabled, for example by setting the qorus.default-datasource-coordinated option to true or by setting the Qorus datasource option "coord-mode" to true for the datasource, each process requesting a connection from the datasource pool requests permission to open a local connection to the database server from the qdsp process, and all SQL I/O is performed locally in the cluster process.

This mode is recommended for environments where many short-lived connections are acceptable or desired over a few stable, long-running connections, such as with database servers that establish connections very quickly with low overhead, or with databases that implement connection pooling on the server side (ex: Oracle Database Resident Connection Pooling, for example).

qdsp Datasource Resets

When a datasource is reset, the inforation about the any potential new datasource connection parameters is sent to the qdsp process.

If the coordinated mode has changed, then regardless of the current mode of the qdsp process, the qdsp process will immediately terminate (aborting any transactions currently in process if the old mode was not coordinated) and will be restarted by the master process.

Otherwise, the internal datasource connection parameters are updated, and if the qdsp process is not in coordinated mode, then a new DatasourcePool object is created that will process any new SQL commands received. Transactions still in progress with the old pool are allowed to complete. Because of this, in the worst case if all connections in the old pool are in transactions and the new pool gets new transaction requests immediately for all available connections, up to n + m connections can be used at one time, where n is the maximum number of connections in the old pool, and m is the maximum number of connections in the new pool.

Abnormal Termination of qdsp Processes

If the qdsp process terminates or is killed while Qorus is running, then qorus will restart it, and all cluster processes with active connections will be notified that the server terminated abnormally.

If the qdsp process was in coordnated mode, then there is no affect on cluster processes, but the total number of connections used may exceed the maximum number of allowed connections while existing transactions for connections authorized before the termination are executed.

If the qdsp process was in non-coordinated mode, then the transaction state for any active connections will have been lost, and cluster client programs are notified, and each thread blocked on an active transaction will get a DATASOURCEPOOL-PROCESS-ERROR exception raised.

Abnormal Termination of qdsp Clients

If the qdsp process was in coordnated mode when a cluster client process terminates during a transaction, then the qdsp process rolls back any active transactions for the process and returns the connection to the pool.

If the qdsp process was in non-coordnated mode when a cluster client process terminates while holding a connection reservation slot, the connection is marked as open and immediately provided to any waiting processes.

Note
This process is not meant to be started by hand but rather only by qorus

qhaorder: Qorus Order Proxy Server (DEPRECATED)

Note
this program is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of Qorus.
Usage
qhaorder [options]

The qhaorder program acts as an order proxy server for Qorus; when the Qorus server process is down, qhaorder will accept and process omq.system.submit-data.[workflow].[version]() API calls directly; creating the order information in the database and returning a correctly-formatted answer. If the Qorus server process is up and running, then qhaorder will pass through all RPC API calls directly to the Qorus server and return the answer.

qhaorder starts up an HTTP server with XML-RPC, JSON-RPC, and YAML-RPC protocol handlers (but not REST handlers), like the Qorus HTTP server. It is configured by setting the following options in the options file under the qhaorder domain:

  • qhaorder.listeners: one or more port numbers or interface:port number combinations, for example:
    qhaorder.listeners: 9001,192.168.20.5:9009 
    The default is to listen on port 9001 on all interfaces
  • qhaorder.daemon-mode: True or False if qhaorder should start up and immediately fork in the background, for example:
    qhaorder.daemon-mode: true 
    The default is True
  • qhaorder.verbose: the log level for the proxy server; messages with a log level equal to or lower than this value will be logged, all other messages will be discarded, for example:
    qhaorder.verbose: 3 
    the default is 2 (equivalent to OMQ::LL_DETAIL_1)
See also
OMQ::qhaorder_option_hash for valid options and OMQ::qhaorder_defaults for default option values for qhaorder

Options Supported by qhaorder

Long Option Short Description
–log-level=ARG -l Sets the log level (more -l's = more info)
–url=ARG -u Set URL: "http://host:port"; at least host or port must be given; ex: "http://server1:8501/RPC2"; see UNIX Socket Support in URLs
–proxy-url=ARG -p Set the proxy URL: "http://host:port"; at least host or port must be given; ex: "http://proxy1:8080"; see UNIX Socket Support in URLs
–show-url -W Shows the default URL
–help -h Prints command help text

qjob: Qorus Server Cluster Process

qjob is a cluster server process and should only be started by qorus (which in turn should normally be started by qctl).

This process is spawned once for each clustered job interface that runs in its own process space.

Abnormal Termination of qjob Processes

If the qjob process terminates or is killed while Qorus is running, then qorus will restart it. After restarting, the qjob process will recover its application session data in the system schema and restart normal job processing by waiting until the next trigger time.

Note

qorus: Qorus Cluster Master Process

Usage
qorus [command-line-options] [option=value]

This is the Qorus Integration Engine® cluster master or "supervisor" process. It starts, stops, and restarts all other cluster processes on the node where it is running.

For backwards compatibility, this program can also be used to start or recover the Qorus cluster as with previous versions of Qorus, however qctl is recommended for starting (and stopping) the Qorus cluster.

By default this program will launch in the background, however this can be changed by setting the qorus.daemon-mode parameter to False.

See also
System Options for more details on the options supported. Qorus options are read from the options file, however any options given on the command-line will override values in the options file.
Example
prompt$ qorus daemon-mode=0 verbose=6
See also
System Reference Manual for details on how the Qorus cluster operates.

Command-line Options Supported by qorus

Long Option Short Description
–qorus-dir -d Sets the application root directory (overrides $OMQ_DIR)
–option-list -l Shows the list of valid system options and exits
–help -h Shows option help text
–verbose -v Sets verbosity level
–version -V Shows version information and exits

Abnormal Termination of the qorus Process

If the qorus process terminates or is killed, then it must be restarted for Qorus operation to continue, ottherwise requests to start and stop new interfaces will deadlock due to the missing qorus master process.

It's recommended to configure the Unix init process to ensure that the qorus master process is always running, for example by using a systemd service script for Unix systems that use systemd for init.


qorus-core: Qorus Core Cluster Process

qorus-core is a cluster server process and should only be started by qorus (which in turn should normally be started by qctl).

This process runs all global services (such as the global HTTP/S listeners) as well as running directly all non-clustered interfaces within its own process space.

Abnormal Termination of the qorus-core Process

If the qorus-core process terminates or is killed while Qorus is running, then qorus will restart it, and all cluster processes with active connections will be notified that the server terminated abnormally.

The application session will be recovered, and also a recovery for all still-running interface (i.e. qwf, qsvc, and qjob) and qdsp processes is performed.

Note
This process is not meant to be started by hand but rather only by qorus

qrest: Command-Line Interface to the Qorus System REST API

Usage
qrest [options] [get|put|delete|post] path[?action=...;arg1=...]

This script provides a command-line interface to the Qorus REST API. It sends REST requests to the server according to the command-line options and displays the response. Responses are deserialized into a Qore data structure, and the resulting data is then displayed on the screen. If the HTTP verb is omitted, then GET is assumed.

The URI path component should not contain the initial /api component; qrest prepends /api/latest to every request; see the following example which calls GET /api/latest/workflows :

# list all workflows
prompt$ qrest workflows?short=1

By default, qrest uses YAML serialization for message bodies to communicate with the Qorus server.

Note that message body arguments are parsed with Util::parse_to_qore_value(), so that complex values can be provided as arguments.

Be aware that this program is delivered as a Qore-language script, and, as such, requires the $OMQ_DIR environment variable to be set to find the Qorus client module.

Note
Any REST API method supported by Qorus can be called from the command-line by using this program (including methods which act as gateways to system and user services). However, several other programs have been developed to provide a more user-friendly interface to some common functions.

Options Supported by qrest

Long Option Short Description
–help -h Prints command help text
–literal -l Show literal responses, giving the option 2 times shows HTTP headers
–path=ARG -P use alternate leading REST path in URL
–proxy-url=ARG -p Set the proxy URL: "http://host:port"; at least host or port must be given; ex: "http://proxy1:8080"; see UNIX Socket Support in URLs
–reformat -R reformat data with -l+ for better readability
–remote=ARG -Q use the given remote Qorus connection instead of the local instance
–show-url -W show default Qorus system REST API URL (with path prefix) and exit
–timeout=ARG -t Set the HTTP timeout in seconds (also the connect timeout)

qsvc: Qorus Service Cluster Process

qsvc is a cluster server process and should only be started by qorus (which in turn should normally be started by qctl).

This process is spawned once for each clustered service interface that runs in its own process space.

Abnormal Termination of qsvc Processes

If the qsvc process terminates or is killed while Qorus is running, then qorus will restart it if the service's autostart attribute is set to true.

Stateless services can run in an unlimited number of processes / containers and support a microservice architecture with Qorus.

Note

qwf: Qorus Workflow Cluster Process

qwf is a cluster server process and should only be started by qorus (which in turn should normally be started by qctl).

This process is spawned once for each clustered workflow interface that runs in its own process space.

Abnormal Termination of qwf Processes

If the qwf process terminates or is killed while Qorus is running, then qorus will restart it. After restarting, the qwf process will recover its application session data in the system schema. If the autostart value for the workflow is positive, then workflow processing will restart as well. If not, then the restarted qwf process will terminate after recovering its application session.

Note

schema-tool: Schema Manipulation Helper Tool

Usage
schema-tool [options]

This program assists with schema manipulation, particularly with tasks regarding installing or upgrading the system schema. With no command-line options, the program returns the status of the system schema (according to the configuration found in the Qorus installation pointed to by the $OMQ_DIR environment variable).

Be aware that this program is delivered as a Qore-language script, and, as such, requires either the $OMQ_DIR or $QORE_MODULE_DIR environment variables to be set to find the Qorus client module, if not located in the default location.

schema-tool supports options for some common database maintenance tasks, as well as takes responsibility for loading all SQL scripts into Qorus datasources. See the options below for more information.

user-tool: Offline Role-Based Access Control Tool

Usage
user-tool [options]

This program manipulates data in Qorus’ RBAC tables. Users, permissions, role, and access groups can be created, modified, and deleted and information about all RBAC data can be queried.

This program accesses the Qorus database directly, therefore for all options except –synchronize, it is not subject to Qorus RBAC control itself and does not require the Qorus server to be running. Unless the –synchronize option is used, only the database server must be available.

Note
To synchronize changes with a running instance of Qorus, use the user-tool –s option to call the PUT /api/latest/system?action=reloadRbac REST API method after effecting updates.

Note that arguments below should not contain any spaces unless they are quoted; for example:

unixprompt% user-tool –duser1:name="John Smith" 

If there are no spaces in an argument, then quotes are optional.

Be aware that this program is delivered as a Qore-language script, and, as such, requires either the $OMQ_DIR or $QORE_MODULE_DIR environment variables to be set to find the Qorus client module, if not located in the default location.
