go to post John Murray · Aug 15, 2017 Pedro - good to see that DC members were able to help. Now please set the "accepted answer" checkmark that only you (as OP) are able to set. If you're unsure where to look, see my screenshot below:
go to post John Murray · Aug 14, 2017 Maybe worth adding that the two MS packages can be run with command line options suitable for unattended use, e.g.vcredist_x86.exe /passive /norestartFor a dialog box showing all the command line options:vcredist_x86.exe /helporvcredist_x86.exe /?I wish an unattended install of Cache would install these runtime prerequisites automatically for us. I think it does that when doing an interactive install, which would imply that the vcredist_x*.exe kits are already bundled inside the cache*.exe installer.
go to post John Murray · Aug 14, 2017 Adding to the other answers, I notice the OP wrote "I need my globals unreadable if other process is in critical area". This means you will need to obtain LOCKs before referencing (reading) the globals. But in this case you might opt to request shared LOCKs, e.g. LOCK +(^A#"S",^B#"S",^C#"S") WRITE !,"^A=",^A,!,"^B=",^B,!,"^C=",^C,! LOCK -(^A#"S",^B#"S",^C#"S") The use of shared locks will allow multiple concurrent reader processes, while still blocking all readers if a writer holds conflicting locks. A would-be writer will also be blocked while any readers still hold conflicting locks.
go to post John Murray · Aug 14, 2017 Robert, your first doc link is actually for $TEST. The link for LOCK is http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=...
go to post John Murray · Aug 14, 2017 You can use a 0 second timeout on the LOCK command. That way your process will proceed immediately and you can check the value of $TEST (either directly, or indirectly using the ELSE command or an argumentless IF) to discover if you got the lock(s) or not.
go to post John Murray · Aug 11, 2017 When processing the two pieces of a timestamp such as $ZTS it is safer to assign the timestamp once to a variable, then operate on that variable, e.g. instead of W (+$ZTS-47117*86400) + $J($P($ZTS,",",2),0,0) use S zts=$ZTS W (+zts-47117*86400) + $J($P(zts,",",2),0,0) This avoids the edge case in the original code, where the first evaluation of $ZTS happens just before the midnight rollover and the second evaluation at or just after it.
go to post John Murray · Aug 11, 2017 This continues to happen with 2017.1.1 when doing an unattended install. I have opened ticket 886059 with WRC about it. Turns out I had overlooked this note in the doc:Important:Before using the Caché unattended installation utility, you must download and install the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 from Microsoft (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784). If you are installing on a 64-bit system, you must install both the vcredist_x86.exe file and the vcredist_x64.exe file.
go to post John Murray · Aug 11, 2017 Looks like those two have now been removed as well . Perhaps I should have stayed quiet!
go to post John Murray · Aug 11, 2017 Did you find it? The checkmark has now been set.Any suggestions about how to make this facility more obvious to posters?
go to post John Murray · Aug 11, 2017 For the record, this was answered to the satisfaction of the OP by [@Bernd Mueller] in his 28 July 2017 comment, where he wrote:see here: "Registering Additional File Types with CSP" and "Mapping the CSP File Extensions" right before.http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=...
go to post John Murray · Aug 11, 2017 Eric, to mark your question as "answered" on Developer Community, please click the checkmark alongside the answer you (as author of the question) accept.I'd also like to draw your attention to DC's facility for commenting on an answer (which is what I'm doing here). It's probably not obvious enough, meaning that you response to Alexander displays as a second answer to your original question.
go to post John Murray · Aug 10, 2017 Yes, Control+R works, and so does clicking on the browser's reload button.But it seems I still have a couple of options for clicking on the DC homepage:At least, until you remove those
go to post John Murray · Aug 10, 2017 Interesting. I wonder if you're still using an older copy of DC somehow. The screenshot I posted was from Chrome version 60.0.3112.90 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows.Does it still work if you clear your browser cache?
go to post John Murray · Aug 10, 2017 It's a very long time since I used GBLOCKCOPY on a Cache 5.0 system, but I think you may be able to simplify your steps.1. Create a new temporary database via Configuration Manager. You probably don't need a new namespace as well.2. Use GBLOCKCOPY to copy your old database contents into your new database.3. Dismount your old database and your new one. Or just shut down Cache completely.4. Rename your old database (the big one), e.g. to CACHE.oldDAT5. Move the temporary database's CACHE.DAT file to where the old one was.6. Mount your database (or start Cache).7. Use Configuration Manager to delete the temporary database you defined in step 1.8 Check everything is working.9. Delete the renamed big database file you preserved in step 4.10. Come back to DC, tell us how it went, and set the checkmark against one of the answers to show you have accepted it.
go to post John Murray · Aug 10, 2017 Expanding on the earlier answers by Eduard and Robert:A process will not be able to switch to a namespace (e.g. with Do $ZU(5,ns) or ZNAMESPACE ns or Set $NAMESPACE=ns or via Do ^%CD) unless the user holds the Read privilege on the database resource of the default globals database associated with that namespace.To read about this, see the "Namespaces" subsection of this doc section.
go to post John Murray · Aug 8, 2017 Good to hear. Now please set the checkmark alongside Jamie's original answer, so your question shows in DC as having been answered.
