Sansa -

Many licensing issues are best taken up with InterSystems. We'd have to know what kind of Cache license you had (how many users, etc.), how all users are connecting to your Cache 5.02 platform (SSH, Telnet, CSP, etc), system settings and other info. Even then we could only make some guesses without being able to test your platform in real time.

InterSystems has been helpful to me in the past concerning licensing issues.

No good answer here but always wondered why this was not easier to do in Studio.

In the past I've copied/pasted classes in small packages to new package, or exported to XML, edited and imported as others have suggested.

Don't forget $ZF(-2,OS_COMMAND) for a quick and dirty way to spawn a child process on the OS level.

A late comment on Cache security.

Installers are tempted to use "minimal security" instead of "standard" when installing Cache. I suggest always use "standard", change default passwords, etc. You should figure out Cache security before installation, rather than trying to jam more security in later, otherwise admin will be more pain.

Vijay - As you were suggesting it seems like COS might be the most efficient way to quickly validate HL7. I've written simple checking scripts but as you know HL7 has some significant variations.

Just tried command s x=$zf(-1,"dir > tkfdir.txt") in Cache 2016.2 on Windows 10 (installed with all defaults) and it worked fine. The process created a text file in Windows with the current directory information.

Let us know what you're trying to do.

Lots of ways to get the object instance properties back (queries, ID, Cache Object Script). Start with the doc and examples:

http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GORIENT_ch_persistence#GORIENT_persistence_data_programmatically

One simple example:

SAMPLES>set person=##class(Sample.Person).%OpenId(1)
 
SAMPLES>w person.Name

You can also use extended global reference to read/write data between namespaces. See InterSystems doc:

An Arm chip on a SoC board running Linux is now the definition of low-medium end computing, whether we like it or not. More powerful variants will eat their way up market (see the iPhone 7).

Any young software engineer is learning computing on an ARM device or using OS X, some Linux/UNIX variety.

If a stripped down version of Cache DB (like GlobalsDB) can be produced/maintained by InterSystems, it would go a long way to feed future Cache/InterSystems growth, which is what anyone reading this opinion needs.

Benjamin -

If you are moving to a distinctly new hardware platform (e.g. Windows to Linux) or 32 to 64 bit platform InterSystems will charge you for an upgrade. If you do not have current support for Cache you will have an upgrade charge.

But check with InterSystems or your representative because InterSystems can sometimes be flexible in pricing.

Sanasa -

Your upgrade difficulty will be determined by your current application. No way to provide specific information for your site.

A starting place: http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY… for general information.

Suggest you hire someone very familiar with upgrading older Cache systems on a temp basis to help prepare an upgrade roadmap and then make the upgrade.

Dmitry is correct: do not try to upgrade on your production server. You may end up with a mess. Create a new server, move routines/globals/classes to the new server and test extensively.

Difficulty in upgrading Cache depends completely on your application. If you use exotic features like $ZU, calls to the OS, third party software, discontinued functions, it will be harder to upgrade.

What version of Cache and Windows are you trying to use?

You've probably already seen this but here is InterSystems primary doc: http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GCGI_win.

Take a look at learning areas at InterSystems: https://learning.intersystems.com

Obviously, call InterSystems support.

CSP on Windows/Linux has worked well for me. You can put together a data driven website quickly, integrate software (jQuery, HTML, CSS, Javascript, etc) and exercise good control over the stack.

Sorry I can't give you a simple step by step but there are many consultants that can help.

Dmitry - Have you tried Studio through VMware Fusion? Fusion seems to be more stable for me than Parallels.
