Hi Sarah!

You actually write your own profile text file from scratch.  There are examples in the docs and class; you’ll need your own tokens/passwords/namespace names, etc

As for setting JAVA_HOME, try setting it to the directory above the lib & bin.

Thanks for reaching out, and please let me know if you’re still stuck

On Windows you will have to create the profile file manually. From a prompt you can do a:

>cd %USERPROFILE%

>mkdir .vantiq

>cd .vantiq

>notepad profile

An entry for a profile looks like this:

dev_pbDemo
{
url = ‘https://dev.vantiq.com’
token = ‘<your token>’
}

<weird escaping issue, the url should be https://dev.vantiq.com wrapped in single quotes>

The syntax isn’t proper JSON formatting just so you know.

For the JAVA_HOME thing you can set this on the prompt or you can go into the Windows System and do a search for Advanced System Settings. When that window pops up you can use Environmental Variables to add a new user variable called JAVA_HOME that points to the root of your jdk folder, something like: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_251\

Or you can do this in the dos prompt:

set JAVA_HOME=”C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_251\”

To confirm it took correct run “set” by itself. This will be temporary, whenever you start a new dos prompt you will have to re-run that set command. So the system settings approach is better.

Once the setup is done you can now run the Vantiq CLI with the -s flag. Where I put the dev_pbDemo is the name of the profile to use: “vanitq -s dev_pbDemo”

Thanks, this is helpful! I was able to connect to dev.vantiq.com

A couple things that might be worth making explicit (that I at least didn’t catch in the docs, etc.):

* base is a required identity in the profile (in video but not in docs)

* filepath to the location of the vantiq.bat file can’t be too long or you get character limited (solved this by moving my install location up a few folders, but it wasn’t that long to begin with)

*it seems like the profile file is auto-created from the documents, might be worth saying that you have to create it (as you mentioned above)

*I was able to connect only with a token, and not with a username/password (I used srappaport as my username and the password I use to log in as my password). I connected with an oauth1 profile set up the same as the one in the docs example, but with my personal token.

One other question – does CLI support wildcard searches? I.e.  is there anyway to, for instance, list only types with a certain set of characters (‘pump’, eg.)?
