This is the Python client for IRIS NativeAPI Command Extension
It demonstrates using the extension without ObjectScript

For easy testing, an IRIS instance with a demo Global and
a pre-installed NativeAPI Command Line Extension is added.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have git and Docker desktop installed.
If you want to use IPM installation make sure your IRIS instance
has irisnative installed as described in detail in the related repo
For Docker, this is already pre-loaded.

Installation

Clone/git pull the repo into any local directory

git https://github.com/rcemper/native-api-command-line-py    

Run the IRIS container with your project:

docker-compose up -d --build    

How to Test it

docker-compose exec iris python3 src/rcc.py
>>> serverIP [127.0.0.1]:
>>> serverPORT [1972]:
>>> namespace [USER]:
>>> username [_SYSTEM]:
>>> password [SYS]:
