You walk into a room, step on a tile and hear a loud click...

Traps !

The challenge is about avoiding traps.

You can recognise if a tile is a trap by following scheme :

The first row is a given : a safe tile is shown as . and a trap is shown as ^
For the next rows, the state of a tile is calculated related to the tiles in the previous row (same position, tile left and tile

Thanks a lot, that we finally got the new version of Atelier, where most of the errors were fixed.

But I've found some have not fixed yet.

    set destination = $listget(waypoints,*)
    set $list(waypoints,*,*)=""

In this code, Atelier does know about asterisk as a second argument to $listget function. And in this case, even shows next lines as an error.

And one a bit annoying issue, when I open a file which had some errors in the previous version, but after an upgrade has not, to see it I should remove and return this code back.

The challenge today is again a-maze-ing (as a wellknown president would say).

The maze has a bunch of doors ( | and - on the drawing), but they can be locked depending on a hash that you need to calculate every step.

I'm trying to write a method to Export SQL Privileges from an instance by namespace, user, or roles. I've found two classes that might work:

• ##class(Security.Users).Export
• ##class(Security.SQLPrivileges).Export

One (Security.Users) exports an XML file and the other (Security.SQLPrivileges) exports an SQL file.

Neither of these options allows me to specify specific users or roles to export so I'll have to use them in tandem with something else. Is there something else that I should be using or do I need to find a way to filter on the backend with regular expressions or the like?

Any suggestions on the most efficient way to convert yyyymmdd string to mm/dd/yyyy?

Hi All, I need the what are all the global having subscript and value contain what I have the value.How to find out?

To simplify the upgrade processes and to keep up with industry standards, we decided to make Atelier only available as an Eclipse plugin. Those of you who are currently using a standalone Atelier client will not be able to upgrade to a later version.

Please go to the Atelier Download page or see the sections below for the detailed instructions about installing Eclipse and the Atelier plugin. Feel free to reach out to support or leave a comment down below if you have any questions.

Hi, Community!

It's November and we have a new Developer Community release!

What's new? 

This is a series of programming challenges for beginners and experienced Caché programmers.

For an introduction : go to article https://community.intersystems.com/post/advent-code-2016-day1-no-time-t…

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".

Atelier 1.1.386 is now available! If you haven't subscribed to the NEW Atelier Beta channel, please follow the instructions on the Atelier Download page.

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!

Victor

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.

Regards, Michel

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! 

Please find a new session recording from Global Summit 2017:

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

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.

"Help me, Obi Wan Kenobi"?

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.
