Thanks for the feedback Ben.

I'm familiar with System Defaults, and we actively try and promote their use when we talk to Ensemble users about this issue. However, the way that Portal defaults to filing configuration item settings into the class means that it's all too easy to do this by accident. In contrast, to add/edit a System Defaults type of setting requires significantly more effort within the UI. Surely a better job could be done here?

I expect Prodlog 94592 already has the name of George James Software all over it, as we've been lobbying on this issue since the very beginning. While we wait, we've devised some techniques that allow Deltanji to leverage the OnConfigChange classmethod that a 2012.1+ production class can be given. You can read about them here.

Sounds good. Any estimate of when we'll get access to this?

That's interesting to know. It means that my experiment can become:

USER>s oResult=##class(%Library.File).FileSetFunc("c:\s\","*.txt")
 
USER>while oResult.%Next() {w !,oResult.%Get("Name")}

...

And now static code analysis that detects classmethod references can spot the use of the secret FileSetFunc method within the class that implements the query I'm using.

Thanks Dmitry. That worked, upgrading me from 1.0.107 to 1.0.112

Hermain, I think yours predates the point where ISC implemented the ability to update Atelier from within Atelier. I suggest you download the latest kit and install that. Thereafter you ought to be able to update from within. But bear in mind I'm not an ISC person, so my advice might be incorrect.

Was that repository URL pre-populated in your Atelier?

Maybe the response Dmitry gave to this post I created in the Atelier community will help you.

Existing users of our Deltanji source code management tool, which runs natively inside Caché / Ensemble / HealthShare, may want to start using Atelier without having first to re-engineer their source control. I foresee a need for an Atelier user to be able to interact with a Deltanji dialog and then trigger a server-side action.

Bill, please update this post when your blog statement appears at http://blog.intersystems.com/compatibility/

Incidentally, is there a way to subscribe so I get email notifications when a new blog posting appears?

Thanks for spending the time to take us on such an informative backstage tour Ben. A lot of this aligns with what I've seen on the many sites where I've implemented our source code management product for customers.

Interesting question. I expect you're already aware of how we can get the value of an environmental variable thanks to the GetEnviron method of %SYSTEM.Util

USER>w $system.Util.GetEnviron("TEMP")
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
USER>

Maybe someone else knows how you can amend one. But if it's not possible, can you improve readability in your code by concatenating the components of your $ZF argument in several stages into a local variable, then passing that variable as the argument to $ZF ?

Certainly Scott. You can now get the full-size PNG file by clicking on the image.
