#Development Environment

The goal of this article is to give users of InterSystems products background on source control in general, and how it can be used with Atelier, an Eclipse plugin. Specifically, I'll be discussing what to do when all of your developers share a single dev instance of an InterSystems product where they can edit and compile code. For more information about the implementation details, and sample workflow, see Michelle Stolwyk's DC post giving a Perforce example

Is anyone in the fine community of developers who work with ISC technologies looking at Microsoft's Visual Studio Code offering?

One of Bill McCormick's recent posts about Atelier referred to Visual Studio being considered the best IDE. Granted, Code is far less of a tool than VS, and probably always will be. But it claims to be open source and cross-platform, i.e. Linux and OS X as well as Windows.

I'm not 100% sure my post belongs in the Atelier group, but didn't see any other group that would be a better home.  Might we benefit from a "Tools" group?

The Atelier 1.3 stable release update site (https://atelier.artifactoryonline.com/atelier/updates/stable/1.3/) has been updated to 1.3.117.

For the best upgrade experience, InterSystems suggests that you install Eclipse Photon fresh before installing Atelier 1.3.

Hi

Totally new to IRIS and Cache.

Trying to evaluate it and work out how we could use it.

As a standard application database. Object or relational etc. does not matter. 

Issue is ObjectScript.

So:

1) Can we develop, maintain and use an IRIS database and never use ObjectScript i.e. use only Java, Python, C++ interfaces etc. (exactly which one does not matter)? Would that make designing and using the IRIS database more prone to inefficiency and error?

2) Can we import an existing Cache database into IRIS and convert its ObjectScript code into Java, Python whatever?

I just downloaded and installed the latest WebTerminal into my local copy of Healthshare 2016.2.1

I installed via studio and everything compiled without error.

However when I run it I just see a black screen. The help window at the bottom of the screen pops open when I type '/' but I just can't get any response.

Any suggestions as to how to trouble shoot this?

You are also invited to the informal lunchtime meeting we're hosting at Global Summit on Tuesday 2nd October from 1pm in Indian Paintbrush, a meeting room at the conference venue. We will be previewing the next versions of Deltanji, our integrated source code management solution, and Serenji, our editor and debugger.

Have you ever thought why the code that you write in Caché Object Script is exported to an XML file?

The news is that it’s time to change. Starting from the release of Atelier, a new development environment, and Caché 2016.2, you will be able to export and import files in the format that you use in the studio, into the so-called UDL (Universal Definition Language) format. You can now write code that is not only fast but also looks beautiful in the exported form. However, we get another equally serious issue: if all new projects are in the UDL format, what will happen to backward compatibility?

Hi Community!

We are proud to annouce our latest release of CachéQuality to help you to find and solve coding errors, refactoring, help to follow you coding guidelines, etc. You can check the latest release notes here.

trying to open this view from Atelier Explorere somethimes give me "java.lang.NullPointerException", sometimes "the resource is not on teh build path of a Script project"...

it's not reasonable why you have this menu-item within atelier explorer but not within project explorer...

atelier version 1.2

I want to connect to my local terminal via Eclipse in Windows. I am able to connect to the server but not my own machine. It opens from "cube icon" -> Terminal but I want to open and connect to it in Eclipse.

How should I connect to it?

Hi ISC Community!

I'm pleased to announce new release of Caché Web Terminal 3.1.4.

What's new:

1. Drag'n'drop to Studio installation: just import xml in any namespace.

2. After import and comilation access your web terminal app on URL  server:port/terminal/.

F.e. localhost:57772/terminal/       

Slash is mandatory.

3. No need to use %CACHELIB anymore - please feel free to update your Caché and continue using CWT.

Download release here.

Source code for view and contribute here.

Post your issues here.  Want to add your own features - fork it!

Enjoy!

Hello,every body. 

I am having a problem when using atelier. I found that the web front-end related files (such as csp, css, js, etc.) will change in format when they are synced to the server.

For example:

The original format of the js file may be UTF-8. However, when I edited and saved in atelier, the file version format on the server became ANSI. I tried to configure the environment in eclipse, but it doesn't seem to work.

E.g:

Because the file contains Chinese characters, this has a significant impact on the actual use.

So, what should I do to solve this problem. Thank you in advance.

As a developer, usually I'm concerned about how my code health is, and how the other coders code can affect to my own work.  And I'm quite sure most of us feel very similar.

In our company we use a Static Code Analysis tool to analyze code for different languages to ensure we are writing high quality and easily maintainable code by following a few best practices in terms of code structure and content. And the question was: why should be different for Caché ObjectScript language?

Atelier is no longer working for me. I am getting the following error: Could not create the view: com.intersys.eclipse.ui.views.CacheExplorer.

Expanding the details available shows the following below. Has anyone seen this and know how to fix it? I uninstalled and reinstalled the Atelier plug-in but that did not help.

java.lang.Exception
    at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ViewReference.createErrorPart(ViewReference.java:112)
    at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ViewReference.createPart(ViewReference.java:98)
    at org.eclipse.ui.internal.e4.compatibility.CompatibilityPart.createPart(CompatibilityPart.

We have started playing around with Atelier, primarily to enable us to commit our existing Ensemble code within source control (GIT). 

It seems Atelier works well with classes and routines however is unable to directly export lookup tables and HL7 schemas. Can someone confirm/validate this is the case? if so, when will this functionality be made available as it's absence is a deal breaker for us?

Lookup tables (.LUT) and HL7 schemas (.HL7) are more code and less configuration. They should be exported and kept in sync between Atelier and namespace much inline with how .cls files are handled.

The Atelier 1.2 stable release update site (https://atelier.artifactoryonline.com/atelier/updates/stable/1.2/) has been updated to 1.2.119. This build contains all of the new features and enhancements the 1.2.118 beta build has as well as a number of bug fixes. Additionally, we have documented a list of the top time-saving keyboard shortcuts to help you become more productive. Give Atelier 1.2 a try and let us know what you think! Some of the key highlights include:

• Go to Line allows navigation to a specific tag+line (e.g.

Atelier is not translating the indentation spaces used to format XDATA sections in Cache Studio. Lack of these spaces makes the XDATA difficult to read. The styling (coloring) of the code is working just fine. Also, it appears that other class code indentation works fine.

Is anyone else seeing this issue? Has there been any discussion when this issue might be addressed by InterSystems? How shall I get some attention to this issue?

When trying to do an Atelier search, the scope section shows a little red 'X' next to the server dropdown box. Hovering over it shows a message stating that "the server does not support Atelier search."

What version of Cache is needed to allow for Atelier searching?

Hi,

I have a Caché project with some HTML files in a CSP folder.

Using Atelier when I access "Server Explorer" and execute the option "Copy to Project" to my local project I have this error:

Has anyone had this same problem? Any solution?

Hello everyone,
I just started to learn how to create a web application. My aim is to create a web app with IRIS, which streams financial data.
Can I connect some streaming-data API (for example IEX API) with the IRIS Platform? Or is there any other easier way to achieve my aim?
Thank you in advance.

When I delete a class package, it seems to delete it from my workspace but the delete action is not synchronized with the server. Is there a way to delete this package both locally and on the connected server within Atelier?

As a proud Eclipse Foundation member, InterSystems is attending its first EclipseCon!

I’ll be in Toulouse, France June 12 – 14 learning about how to leverage new and developing technologies with Eclipse, like IoT, data analytics, cloud services, light-weight web browser editors, and more. I’ll also hear directly from the Eclipse Foundation about the 30 year history of the project and what to expect from Eclipse Photon next. Similarly, I’ll attend a talk from IBM on the way forward with Java 11 and beyond.

You can find the full schedule and other conference details at https://www.eclipsecon.

I'm just getting started with Atelier and HealthShare. I created a persistent class, then realized I didn't want it. There is information in help about resetting storage definitions, where you use 'delete' in Studio. I tried that in Atelier. It deleted the class but not the storage. I can't delete the table directly because I didn't set it to allow DDL. This was done in a development environment and there is no data in the table. So, two questions:

1. How do I delete that table/storage definition in atelier?
2. How do I get rid of this existing table?

Thanks!

I was wondering what the recommended system specifications are for running Atelier.

The product link doesn't mention hardware requirements, and it would help to know this to see if any performance issues faced are due to underwhelming hardware or product issues.

I have just upgraded to Atelier v1.2 beta and find that I'm using up the license pool.

The longer I work within Atelier the more csp sessions for application /api/atelier I'm creating.  It seems that each class I'm opening in the editor creates a new session. This is ok up to 25 sessions at which point I'm consuming 25 licences units and soon after nobody can log in any more because I'm consuming all licenses. I never really looked at this with v1.1 but that is because I never experienced this problem, so my assumption is that something changed with v1.2.

This is on a Caché 2017.2 instance.

If you're using Firefox, you probably know that there are search engine addons that allow us to use website search directly. Now, docs.intersystems.com is also available as a search engine here. Here's how it looks:

In Studio whenever you write ##class(   and then you start writing it will autocomplete the classname.

I can't find how to do that in atelier.

Hi there.

I'm really interested in using Atelier for its source control ability, and I have found a fair bit of info when it comes to starting a new project and then pushing that project to a chosen source control system.

However, my environment has a lot of existing code which was developed within Studio and Ensemble, and placing entire namespaces within a single project file feels wrong.

Is there a magical way I can point Atelier at my environment and it will split everything up into individual projects based on naming conventions, or am I faced with the daunting task of splitting it all up?
