Generating projects using the CLI
The instruction below explain how to automatically generate projects using the CLI. This can be especially useful when deploying projects between different environments.
Command syntax
ComposeCli.exe generate_project --project project_name [--database_already_adjusted]
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| --project | The name of the project. |
| --database_already_adjusted | An optional parameter that should only be included if the data warehouse and data marts were adjusted outside of Compose. |
Example
ComposeCli.exe generate_project --project MyProject --database_already_adjusted
When the command is run, Compose will:
- Validate the metadata.
- Create any storage tables that do not exist.
- Validate the storage.
-
Adjust the storage if needed.
- If an Adjust script is needed and --database_already_adjusted is included in the command, the script (DDL) will not be run as it is assumed that the user ran it manually.
- If the "Adjust" cannot be performed automatically, the process will be stopped.
-
Generate all storage tasks.
Warning noteIf Compose encounters an error while generating a storage task, it will skip the problematic task and continue with the remaining tasks.
