Has anyone configured Zen Reports/FOP to support png images? If you have, could you please share the library that you used, the configuration required, and whether it was worth it (vs converting images to one of the natively supported formats)?

I have some logging code that outputs task status information to a log file. I would like to make the log available for reading while it is open for writing. The file is opened using the "L" option (Lock):

Open tLogFile:"WASL" Set tLogOpen=1


My intent was to prevent multiple processes from accidentally writing to the file and having messy output. Unfortunately, if the process is taking longer than expected, one can not simply open the log file to figure out what is going on because the "L" lock prevents the file from being opened for reading as well as writing.

There is no obvious way to provide feedback to the development community. In order to find the topic to find open discussions, I had to search for "feedback".

 

There should be links in standard places; without doing research these place probably include: menu, front page, footer.

Is there a way to select distinct keys from an field that has a collection index? I have a field defined as follows: Property data As %Library.String(COLLATION = "EXACT", MAXLEN = "", TRUNCATE = 0); Index data On data(KEYS) [ Type = bitmap ]; And I define a build value array method that parses my data outputs an array in the format array(KEYS)=VALUES. This is very useful because I can query my data using criteria such as  WHERE FOR SOME %ELEMENT(data) (%KEY='param') My question is whether there is some way to select distinct key values, e.g. SELECT DISTINCT KEYS____ FROM ____ .

There seems to be little point to journal audit db updates; why rollback an audit entry for an attempted update?

I’m working on some auditing code and I have a few questions (feel free to respond regarding 2016.1 or later).

  1. I’ve noticed that there is little point of journaling updates to an audit database, as the Audit log is essentially an additional journal. Is there any reason not to disable journaling for audit log updates?
  2. I’d like to audit even transactions that get rolled back, preferably with information that the rollback occurred (this could be a second audit entry).
