Question Hour Abdellatif · Mar 9

I’m trying to find a way to manage globals from our Java application. We have two separate features:

  • Managing tables normally using SQL

  • Managing globals, since some globals exist without class or table definitions

Cache version : Cache for UNIX (Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86-64) 2016.1.1 (Build 108U_SU), Thu Jul 7 2016 09:39:04 EDT

I tried to retrieve the globals tree, update node values, and append nodes using SQL by calling stored procedures, but I couldn’t find any procedures for adding, updating, or deleting nodes.

I also tried using cacheextreme.jar to access the globals API directly.

1 Introduction

In environments that use InterSystems IRIS, globals are the physical foundation of data storage. Although system queries and administrative tools exist for metric inspection, global growth analysis is usually reactive: the problem is generally only noticed when there is disk pressure or performance impact.

Question Carl Deitrich · Feb 17

We are attempting to "Repoint" old class data to new class data to save disk space and data redundancy across multiple tables. This works to a point.  In essence the two classes are sharing the same data / Index / stream globals.  But if an ID in the Old_Class is opened, a property is modified, and saved the property that is in the New_Class (but not in the Old_Class) is NULLed / blanked.

Simplified explanation of data and what’s occurring.
