It is still in IPM. OEX seems to have lost it.  ???

Just providing the global name results in a full global dump.
Example:

IRISAPP>d$system.SQL.Shell()
SQL Command Line Shell

Thank you Maksym !
You reached 100% ObjectScript.
I was really impressed by your Part2 on day 23 + 24

Hi all,
All challenges of AOC 2023 are published.
You are invited to publish your solutions before Dec.28th:
I'll clone your repos on early Dec 28th. no late coming.

  • To be clear only ObjectScript is accepted, no embedded Python or other
  • Testing is done with IRIS for Windows (x86-64) 2023.2 (Build 227U)
  • Docker containers are not part of this check.
  • No problem If you don't have all solutions you just rank later 
  • My personal special thanks go to the 4 participants, that helped me to set up the test methods.

Actual ranking by verified completion in ObjectScript

A great initiative. A really surprising experience to see the echo of the community.
for those interested in details without personaö self-promotion.

Best wishes - especially HEALTH -- to everyone in the community
And special thanks to the excellent team running this community. 💐🌺🌹🌼🌻🌟

If you want to clear all old data you have to use  ..%DeleteExtent(..) that you inherit from %Persistent.

Changing from %Persistent  to %SerialObject is a compiler-related action.
The compiler doesn't take care of your storage.
In this case only the access methods change, but not the underlying storage and its content

there are command line utilities i Namespace %SYS down from ^DATABASE
%SYS>d ^DATABASE
 
 1) Create a database
 2) Edit a database
 3) List databases
 4) Delete a database
 5) Mount a database
 6) Dismount a database
 7) Compact globals in a database
 8) Show free space for a database
 9) Show details for a database
10) Recreate a database
11) Manage database encryption
12) Return unused space for a database
13) Compact free space in a database
14) Defragment globals in a database
 
Option?

in addition  Class SYS.Database  holds a long list of utility methods 
you have to dig into Class docu

  • PPG is a nice feature if your local data might break partition limits.
  • Without knowing details on the internals of %PARALLEL: 
    • It is given that it runs in more than a single process
    • but sharing PPG over multiple processes is not known
    • so a lot of data may accumulate in some of the parallel processes.

indeed the numbers sometimes overlap:
twoneight   became. 218  !!  that was really nasty 
only removing the first found char was the workaround

Robert Cemper · Dec 13, 2023 go to post

Try to check your code against the 2 test sets in my OEX package:  
sometimes there is a problem if the last line of input.txt is missing a line terminator.
try to keep always an empty line in the end.

Hi all,
The first half of the competition is over! 
To anticipate questions related to the ranking:
My sorting is  Stars > verified ObjectScript (ok%)  > Scores
After finish when 50 Stars + ok=100% are reached Scores defines the ranking.

Robert Cemper · Dec 12, 2023 go to post

You see now an extended ranking list.
Code Part OK signals the modules that have passed the function test against the Test Sets in OEX
1 => Part1 OK,  2 => Part2 OK, 3 => Part 1+2 are OK, - => nothing OK  the position indicates the day.
ok%  is the percentage of parts verified OK of the 100 parts in totals in the competition.

Ah, some improvements.
I personally always used UTC since the introduction of ENSEMBLE  (ages back)  

Robert Cemper · Dec 11, 2023 go to post

Your time zone is taken from your settings in the underlying operating system

$ZTZ shows the offset from UTC. You can set it to whatever you need.
but ATTENTION  this affects $H for the whole IRIS instance !!!
take a serious look into documentation on mostly not wanted the side effects

Similar to previous years I will provide the results of our private leaderboard 

  • It will sort by published ranking but separate DC members from "guests"
  • The matching of DC members is a manual task 
  • if I missed you pls. let me know your identity in AoC by DC mail  to add your DC flag
  • updates will always happen in this reply

  • in the Java Contest, we are expected to use Java
  • in the Python Contest, we were expected to use Python
  • in the ObjectScript Contest, we were expected to use COS/ISOS
  • in a Node.js Contest, we would be expected to use Node.js

It was never a question of this could have been done differently
As I understand it, the important point is that IRIS has some role to play

Robert Cemper · Nov 24, 2023 go to post

I checked multiple namespaces. All look identical.

everywhere the same picture.
That %Zpy* is stored in IRISSYS.

BTW: the subscript mapping is identic to rMAC in IRIS and also in historic Caché. versions

I just learned here that "NAMED PIPE" is significantly different in

  • UNIX/Linux where it is just a kind of file structure and
  • Windows where it offers the duplex feature I was looking for

So my workaround (by accident) turns out to be better for my needs than the Linux FIFO feature
as I'm able also to read partial lines and don't need newlines or similar as separators.

it was kind of Lucky Punch

Robert Cemper · Nov 22, 2023 go to post

I also did some experiments using netcat in my container.
Using Ubuntu pipe files works somehow. But it was not convincing.
Ubuntu experts may do it better. 

Robert Cemper · Nov 21, 2023 go to post

CPIPE ../WRITE  works here  https://github.com/rcemper/java-global-editor

set cpipe="|CPIPE|1"
 		,cmd="cd /opt/irisapp/ && java gedi > g.log"open cpipe:(cmd:/WRITE)
 	;; later in loopuse0read"?:",opt,!
		use cpipe write opt,!
 	;;;

With NPIPE   I just was lost  ,  
OPEN hangs or  has timeout....
no idea ; Could be the Ubuntu side in Docker was wrong.
