The challenge of day 16 is about generating random data using a modified version of a dragon curve (you can find more info on fractal curves like Dragon here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_curve).

First you need to generate data in a loop as follows :

Create an initial state with your puzzle input

Call the data you have at this point "a".
Make a copy of "a"; call this copy "b".
Reverse the order of the characters in "b".
In "b", replace all instances of 0 with 1 and all 1s with 0.
The resulting data is "a", then a single 0, then "b"

Repeat until your generated data is equal or longer than 272 digits.

I'm looking for information, suggestions, video (courses) on make a lot more use of the documatic system already built into Cache,

Probably talked of before within this forum, but after an hour or two of searching, can't find the articles that I mmay have seen before.

I want to do a lot more documenting of my installation, we use and actively comment classes and methods, but I want to take it further by actually documenting the "why" and high level "how" my system works. Documatic seems a good place to put that knowledge.

Can anyone suggest suitable Cache ObjectScript syntax for open/use/read statements on a simple ms-dos text file.
I've tried various examples seen on the web but they appear to be implementation specific.
I used MSM MUMPS many years ago but am now retired & would like to write a few simple routines for my own amusement & mental challenge.
I am using the free Version of Cache (V 2017.1) on my Windows 10 PC. The installation file was CachePCkit_x64.exe
My apologies for this query being very basic.

Hello Caché Guru,

I'm new to Cache system. I'm trying to do something like saving meta data in Relational DB:

I could use "management portal" -> System Explorer->SQL to view individual table's catalog details or print out the column definition. However I need to gather those information for several hundreds of tables in the DB. Is there a way to do it using command line in kind of batching mode?

Any hint and tip is very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi, Community! 

This week we have two videos. Check the second Developer Community Video of the week:

Atelier: May the Source Be With You

One for Luca, perhaps?

Interesting article here:

https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/containers-aren%E2%80%99t-just-applicati…

Would this be a fit for Cache / IRIS containerisation?

Not sure I fully "get" what's being proposed in the article, mind you.

The challenge for today consists of capsules that bounce through a maze of spinning discs.
The capsule can fall through a hole of each disc if they hit the disc at position 0,  each disc has a fixed amount of positions that rotate every second.
The distance between the release and the first disc is one second, as is the distance between each consecutive disc as well.

Hi everyone,

I started working on Ensemble this year so maybe I am not implementing the right way. I'm trying to connect a Welch Allyn monitor to TrakCare. The workflow is the following:

- User scans patient number with the monitor.

I am using Cache FTP classes to download from a FTP site files, that include zip files.

I can retrieve the whole file into a stream, but it contains a lot garbage.

Sample:

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to programmatic ally add the parameter 'VALIDIFNULL' to classes that extent %SerialObject.

This to hopefully resolve the validation errors I'm getting  on webservice request messages, where certain properties are not required, but lower down the tree some properties are.

I have too many classes to do this manually and with the next SOAP wizard run I probably loose the added parameter.

Some help would be very much appreciated.

In trying to understand Atelier I am directed to go through its hierarchy type of documentation.

Is the Atelier documentation going to continue as a hierarchy or at some point is it going to be integrated into the InterSystems type of documentation?

When looking for an answer it would be nice to use only one method.

Hi,

How can i create Task for background process and use JOB in that task.

Hi, Community!

Atelier for Web Development

Hi, folks!

Consider I need to perform some logic which should fire because values of object properties has been changed.

Is there ANY reason for using class callbacks %OnBeforeSave or %OnAfterSave instead of Trigger?

I have a couple of new namespaaces/databases that are read-only.  I don't remember changing them to read-only, and although my username has %all (I installed the system), I am unable to change the "Always mount as read-only" property.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Laura

The challenge today is about some basic cryptography : you will have to generate data for a one-time pad (OTP) (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad for more info).

You need to generate keys by taking the MD5 of a pre-arranged salt (your puzzle input), and an increasing integer index starting with 0.

Hi communauty

I've two columns in my table and the type must be interval of integer values for example : age must be interval between [2 and 6] years and wigth between [10 and 30 ] Kg , how can i define them when creating my table?

thank's

Hi communauty

Thank's.

The Atelier beta update channel:

https://atelier.artifactoryonline.com/atelier/updates/beta/1.1

offers the latest features and bug fixes. It now updates your installation of Atelier to build 1.1.310 for Mac, Windows, Red Hat, SUSE and Ubuntu. Here’s an account of what’s recently been improved:

New Features:

• The SQL parser has been significantly enhanced including performance improvements
• The JavaScript parser has been simplified for performance improvements. The class shown in the example below invokes the JavaScript parser. The "File is too large to parse properly" issue has been fixed.

I’ve hit the wall. I’m a one person shop who wants to start developing Cache on a mac using Eclipse/Atelier, after using Studio for the last 5 years. I’ve installed the 1.1 beta plugin, watched 6 or 7 videos from the September conference, tried several times to work through the cheat sheets, only to have connection issues or compilation issues, so at this point, I’m feeling very frustrated. The videos were interesting, but generally didn’t work as tutorials for fundamental programming operations, for me.

the useful content is in the replies
showing the use of $SYSTEM.OBJ.ValidateIndices()

When a class containing a method generator is compiled, the code that implements the method at runtime is written according to the instructions in the method definition. 

Hello guys,
I'm having a problem on a sign-up screen, what happens is that this screen is not reloaded after clicking save, and that's where the problem arises, on that screen it is possible to upload images, but as everything is loaded with submit, the record would have to be updated so I had all the information, which does not happen.
With this I'm trying to find a way to get the information from the file loaded in the "file" component to get the data in "% request.MimeData".
The only way I've found it so far has been to reload the whole page, but that's all I do not want to do.

A third party developer has asked for access to the documentation of my classes so he can understand my tables/classes better.

• How do I give access the the documentation of my classes (single namespace)  and secondary, do I need to give  him access to %system. (and others)
• Is it possible to block the likes of ensemble, Iknow, deepSee etc. I don't use those, and I don't want him to waste time (and my money) exploring areas that simply not necessary
• what privilege roles do I need to give him  whilst still maintaing security.

Since we announced last week that Atelier would only be available as an Eclipse plugin, some of you have been asking about  how to convert from your standalone client. Here's what you might want to do.

Hello,

Just today updated Atelier to the latest Beta release.Getting the following error in Eclipse:
Plug-in com.intersys.eclipse.legacy.extension was unable to load class com.intersys.eclipse.legacy.extension.Startup.

Unable to open Atelier perspective.

Does anybody else get this issue, how to go back to previous version?

Regards

Thomas

Today, you have to find a path through a maze. To know if a coordinate is a wall or an open space, you will have to do a calculation like this :

x*x + 3*x + 2*x*y + y + y*y
Add the office designer's favorite number (your puzzle input).
Find the binary representation of that sum; count the number of bits that are 1.
  - If the number of bits that are 1 is even, it's an open space.
  - If the number of bits that are 1 is odd, it's a wall.

As many of you, our partners, are more widely using modern UI frameworks to create client front-end, you may have encountered a question, "So how do I secure my data when I just finished developing all new fancy browser based client experience?"

The answer is easy. Use a standard, proven OAuth2 and OpenID!

"OK, but how can I do it? I have never done it before."

No problem, just have a look here, if your client is Angular (not AngularJS) based, there is a demo project available for you to review and get inspired!
