Question John Murray · Oct 2, 2018 Can I compile a class without using worker jobs? Using our cool new debugging extension for Visual Studio Code I'm trying to debug a CreateProjection method of a class, but when I compile it the work apparently gets done in one of the worker jobs, so my breakpoint never triggers.Is there a compiler flag or qualifier to force the compilation to be done in-process rather than getting handed off to a worker job? #Compiler #Debugging #Object Data Model #Caché 2 4 0 460

Suppose I find a post that seems really useful, and that I expect to want to return to in the future. I click on the star to favorite it (giving the author some kudos).

Question John Murray · Feb 14, 2017 DC postings now autofeeding the Google Group - what's the idea? As well as participating in DC I continue to monitor the Google Group at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/intersystems-public-cacheSince yesterday the Google Group has started receiving postings from a user called intersystems.dc.

Question John Murray · Feb 14, 2017 Does the "Favorites" panel still have a role? Early on in my use of DC I think I marked a couple of things as favorites.

Or are they a remnant of some DC feature that has been superseded? #DC Feedback 0 2 0 151
