ICETranslate Command—Convert XHTML Template to Macro Template

Permission required: Access to the directory where the utility is located.

The ICETranslate utility reads an Ingres Web Deployment Option XHTML template file and converts it into the equivalent Web Deployment Option macro template file. This utility must be used when creating web sites with Ingres Web Deployment Option XHTML template files.

This utility writes to its standard output, so you must redirect the output to the file name you specify. When the file is registered with the Ingres ICE Server, it is available for use.

Note: In UNIX environments, the ICETranslate command must be entered with the first four letters in uppercase (for example: ICETranslate).

The icetranslate command has the following format:

ICETranslate input_file.xml [> output_file.html]

• input_file.xml

  Specifies the name of a Web Deployment Option XHTML template file.

• > output_file.html

  Directs output to the specified file name.

ICETranslate Example

This command converts the file my_query.xml into the Web Deployment macro template file my_query.html:

icetranslate my_query.xml > my_query.html
