Hi, Community!
We deployed the new update on DC and it brings:
- The new post subscriptions/favorites model
- Some menu changes
- Bug fixes.
The new post subscriptions/favorites model:
with every post you now see the star in the left bottom corner of the widget in the feed or of the post.
Click on it and it turns to yellow which means that you store it in your "Favorites" tab which you can find later in your member's page like it is shown in my one.
Also, that means you automatically subscribed to email notifications on all the changes in this post.
Click it again to unfavorite/unsubscribe the article.
There is an interesting discussion in the Russian forum going.
What is the best solution for the function which returns the max for the set of parameters?
From the listed solutions I like this one:
ClassMethod max(args...) {
for i=1:1:args { s max(+$g(args(i))) = i }
s i="", max=$o(max(i),-1, i) Q $lb(max, i)
}Hi, Community!
This place is getting bigger and today we reached 2.000 of registered members on InterSystems Developer Community!

You can find the analytics in the menu Community->Analytics:
So you can click on the dashboards and cells and drill down to the daily posts, tags or examine the current leaderboard of the most active and helpful members.
Thanks for your participation and contribution!
Hi, Community!
We put in production the new DC update today. With this update we fixed some bugs, like publishing drafts with proper date and RSS fix and introduced the new look to the member page.
Now member's page consists of Posts, Comments, and Favorites: e.g. this is the page of Alexander Koblov:
With this update you can see all the contributions and interests of your favorite author on DC.
Hope you like it!
Next weeks we prepare some new good updates! Stay tuned!

Hi!
Suppose I have a project in Atelier with two classes: Class A and Class B and develop it in my local Caché installation.
If I decide to delete Class A and delete it in Atelier project will it be deleted in Caché automatically or should I do it manually?
Or what is the suggested workflow in this case?
Same question is if I decide to rename Class B to Class C.

Hi!
Sometimes you see that call to DeepSee cube building method:
w ##class(%DeepSee.Utils).%BuildCube("CubeName")does nothing.
Here are my 2 cents on possible reasons.
1. Run DeepSee Reset method in certain Namespace:
NAMESPACE> w ##class(%DeepSee.Utils).%Reset()
and try again.
2. Make sure, that all the indices in your base class for the cube are rebuilt, rebuild them and run it again:
w ##class(%DeepSee.Utils).%BuildCube("CubeName")Hope this will save some time for you, and will be helpful as was to me.
Have you tried $Translate for date conversion?
USER>write $Translate("Dd.Mm.WwYy","WwYy-Mm-Dd","2015-08-02")

Do we need tag Performance to mark posts related to recipes of better performance for InterSystems based solutions?
Vote please, if we need it!
Hi!
How do you guys deploy DeepSee pivot variables?
Haven't found it in documentation.
Thank you in advance!
Hi, Community!
You know, that when we build hierarchies in DeepSee dimension all the members of lower level should be the part of one member of the higher level.
If not you'll get some empty results in MDX queries with this hierarchy.
With Time dimensions the obvious valid hierarchy is Year->Month->Day, cause every Month consists of one Year and every day consists of one month.
But be aware of using Year->Month->Week->Day hierarchy. In this case, there are some weeks in the year (most of them), which consist of two months.
Hi, Community!
We want to introduce tag Tips & tricks.

Hi!
There is interesting question in Stackoverflow.
This query works for MS SQL:
SELECT *
FROM
(
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY client_id ORDER BY date_updated DESC) AS rn
FROM client_address
) a
WHERE a.rn = 1There is one answer there, which solves the task:
SELECT *
FROM
client_address a
LEFT JOIN client_address b
on a.client_id = b.client_id
and a.date_updated < b.date_updated
WHERE
b.client_id is nullBut it goes with comment, that there are no Window functions in Caché SQL.
I wonder, are there any other options to make this query in Caché?

Hi!
Here is the question in Russian Forum regarding roots extracting.
In Caché ObjectScript we use exponentiation operator (**) to raise an exponent to power. F.e. let's raise 3 to power of 3:
USER> write 3**3 27
And we use the same operator to extract the root.
USER> write 27**(1/3) 2.999999999999999963
And 2.999999999999999963 is not 3, obviously.
How to extract roots properly in Caché ObjectScript?
Hi, Community!
Want to share with you one debugging approach from the Russian forum.
Suppose I want to debug the application and I want it to stop the execution on a particular line.
I add in code this line:
l +d,-d
When I want to start debugging in this line I block d in terminal
USER> l +d
And execute the app.
The app stops on this line and lets me connect to it with Studio debugger.
To release lock I do in terminal
And what are your debugging practices?
