Using the ECL Command line interface. This video makes reference to using an ecl.ini file mentioned in the video above.
Write a script to publish multiple workunits and update ROXIE query data using packagemaps

Use Packagemaps on the Command Line Interface (CLI) to update the dataset on an existing ROXIE query 'on-the-fly'
Without recompiling, or republishing, helping developers to work more efficiently with HPCC Systems

Creating a PackageMap File
Provides detail about creating and using packagemaps for a ROXIE query, covering where to get more information about packages and packagemaps, and utilizing that information. Starting with the example from the Documentation, learn how to create a new packagemap file to redefine the data a query uses. First using 3 subfiles and a subsequent example using only a single subfile while expanding upon the structure of the packagemap file. The second example expands on the content of another view on this subject “Updating Data using Packagemaps”, showing how to use the packagemaps to redefine and update the data without having to recompile or republish the query.
