Mashes Objects onto Mumps

Can you handle it?

According to the Caché log file, it's looking at the registry to get the version as well.

I've "hacked" around the issue by creating two registry import files, one that sets the version of the JRE to 1.8 and the other to 1.6. I import the 1.8 version (regedit /s jre18.reg) in Squirrel's startup batch file just before Squirrel is launched, and the 1.6 version after (regedit /s jre16.reg). It all happens fairly seamlessly, although I did have to insert a short delay in the batch file before the return to version 1.6 using the Win 7 'timeout' (timeout /t 1) command.

I'm attempting to use Squirrel on a Windows system with a locally-installed version of Caché/Ensemble 2014.1. Unfortunately, the version of the JRE on that system is 1.6, with which Squirrel is incompatible. Updating the JRE to 1.8 allows Squirrel to work, but breaks the JDBC gateway and client functionality in Caché. Both applications check the JRE version in the Windows registry on initialization, so messing around with PATH and CLASSPATH don't solve the problem.

Any thoughts?

PS. Upgrading to a more current version of Caché is not currently an option; this is a customer system.

Code actions are also useful to get immediate feedback on operations performed in the DTL when using the Test facility. The output of write functions will display just above the transformation output.

Hi Mike,

Might be worthwhile to add a tag for "Newbie's Corner" to make these easier to find. Search does a reasonable job, but brings up more than just these articles.
