How do I access the Management Portal on a mac?
I installed the Cache client along with Atelier on my mac.
My question is:
How do I access the Management Portal on a mac?
My Atelier stand-alone app allows me to use the Cache instance, but how do I get to the Management Portal to set up security and create new namespaces, etc.?
Also, where to I check to see when Cache is actually running?
Thanks.

You can find the link to Management Portal in the documentation: http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GSA_using_portal
To see if the instance is running: I suggest getting familiar with the ccontrol command from terminal: http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GSA_using_instance#GSA_using_instance_control
For example, ccontrol list will list basic information about your instance. This is an example on my (Linux) computer where you can see that the first instance is down and the second is running:
amarin> ccontrol list
Configuration 'C152'
directory: /home/amarin/intersystems/cache20152
versionid: 2015.2.1.705.0
datadir: /home/amarin/intersystems/cache20152
conf file: cache.cpf (SuperServer port = 56778, WebServer = 57778)
status: down, last used Fri Jul 7 09:37:47 2017
Configuration 'C161'
directory: /home/amarin/intersystems/cache20161
versionid: 2016.1.0.610.0
datadir: /home/amarin/intersystems/cache20161
conf file: cache.cpf (SuperServer port = 56777, WebServer = 57777)
status: running, since Wed Nov 8 11:33:16 2017
state: ok
InterSystems delivered Cache distributive as a DMG file until 2016.2. And fortunately, they decided do not do it anymore.
But all the time, it was also available as tar.gz. Which is working in exactly the same way as any other Linux version.
So, you can use ccontrol tool, to see a list of instances, their status and start or stop.
csession can be used as a terminal in windows.
To open System Management Portal, you can just this URL in a Browser - http://localhost:57772/csp/sys/UtilHome.csp
The Server Explorer view from the Atelier perspective provides a shortcut to the Management Portal.
- Open the Server Explorer view
- Right-click on the connection you are interested in
- Select "Management Portal" from the context menu
The Management Portal will be opened in an external browser.
Much thanks for your responses, though I don't if they apply to the stand-alone version of Atelier, since that has been discontinued. Still, I look forward to checking out the documentation links.
On the other hand, I may just bite the bullet and get the latest Eclipse.
Thanks.
Best,
