Hi all,

I am new here and i need help on how to use createquery via CLI. Can you please provide a sample of string for --queryDefinition option in commandline.

This is what I have that don't work.

im.exe createquery --name=Test --queryDefinition=((field["Project title"] = "9497") and (field["State"] = "Open") and (field["Created By"] = "jc185178","mp185138","ms185250","rv185054"))

Is there something wrong with the queryDefinition string?

Thanks,

Jd

    Hi jdcc.

    You will also want to make sure that the quotes around the overall definition are not the same as the quotes around the field names in the definition, as this has caused problems for me on Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

    --queryDefinition='((field["Project title"] = "9497") and (field["State"] = "Open") and (field["Created By"] = "jc185178","mp185138","ms185250","rv185054"))'

    Also if you have any shortext or longtext fields, you should use contains rather than =, for example

    (field["Summary"] contains "xyz") instead of (field["Summary"] = "xyz") otherwise the command will return with an error message.

    Hi jdcc,

    try it with quotes around your Defintion:

    --queryDefinition="((field["Project title"] = "9497") and (field["State"] = "Open") and (field["Created By"] = "jc185178","mp185138","ms185250","rv185054"))"

    Kind regards,

    Maxim
