So I have a file uris.xqy that gets the document URI's that I want to operate on in corb.
Then I have docs.xqy that brings in the $URI
declare variable $URI as xs:string external;
And then I do some processing on that document.
Now I want to pass in a parameter to corb from the command line such that
./ml ${Environment} corb --uris=/uris.xqy --modules=/docs.xqy --hello=world
When I execute the command above I would have access to hello and it's contents world in docs.xqy.
I think what you are looking for is a Custom Property
PROCESS-MODULE.hello=world
The CORB2 wiki explains this at
https://github.com/marklogic/corb2/wiki/Other-Properties#custom-properties
To use a custom property, it must be prepended with the Task name and declared as an external variable in the XQuery.
To pass a collection name to the PROCESS task use:
PROCESS-MODULE.collectionName=nameOfCollectionToUse
With Roxy v1.7.4+, you can now specify any CoRB options, to include custom module inputs, using either the -- or -D switches.
If you upgrade to Roxy 1.7.4.1 (or later), you can send the value to the docs.xqy module external variable named "hello" by executing the following:
./ml ${Environment} corb --uris=/uris.xqy --modules=/docs.xqy --PROCESS-MODULE.hello=world
