Running the example

How

First, open a command-line prompt.

Then follow this schema:

mqlhal -c myconfigfile.cfg  

If on MySQL or PostgreSQL, you may need to use the "-u username", "-p password", and/or the "-h hostname" options.

Example

This example is for Windows users.

1. Open a command-line prompt.
2. cd to the right directory, e.g., "C:\Emdros\"

         C:\>C:
         c:\>cd C:\Emdros\
         C:\Emdros>
   

3. Run the program. Assume that your configuration file is called "C:\temp\myconfig.cfg"

         C:\Emdros>bin\mqlhal.exe -c "C:\temp\myconfig.cfg"
   

That's it. Now sit back and watch as the program spits out various messages and runs to completion.

What happens next?

Afterwards, it's time to analyze the output. Perhaps you need to adjust the configuration file and rerun the program to get new output. This will likely be an iterative process until you find what you are looking for, or have tested your hypothesis about the text.
