Question Robert Cemper · Mar 11, 2022

It sounds strange though it's embarrassing.

I have a class with ClassMethods written in ISOS and Embedded Python.

The ClassMethods written in ISOS start in the Background as usual. No problems

But my 

ClassMethod setPy() [ Language = python ]
{
import iris, datetime, time
- - -

Just fails the JOB command with (even 15 sec) timeout and $ZC=0
This is not funny
My actual workaround:
I created a ClassMethod in ISOS, that does an elegant JobStart
and this ClassMethod only runs the Embedded Python ClassMethod.

I have created a package to export a Global into JSON object file and to re-create it by reloading from this file
embeddedPython refers to the new available technologies. It should be understood as a learning exercise of 
how to handle the language interfaces. Only Global nodes containing data are presented in the generated JSON file.
Differently from the previous example, this one is using embedded Python only, no ObjectScript. Therefore PURE

I have created a package that offers a utility to load a Global into JSON object and reverse     
to create a Global from this type of JSON object. Compact refers to the structure created.
Globals nodes are included with data for a fast data load.   
But also the related code is quite compact.

Each logical node of the Global is presented separately with all its descendants.
Even if they don't contain any stored data.

II try to explore the new SQL LOAD DATA  feature in SQL comparing it to SQL INSERT

I'm stuck at this point:  INSERT INTO <table> (columns...) VALUES  (.....)
allows having not just simple column references but also ALL Standard SQL FUNCTIONS (at least)
example:  

INSERT INTO Test (ShortName,DOB) VALUES  (SUBSTRING(Name,1,4),TO_DATE(displayDate,'MM-DD_YYY'))

This works perfectly. 
BUT the same VALUE clause applied to LOAD DATA  fails in various ways:

Just in case you never heard about OFX before
V1 was an attempt to create a dedicated SGML for banking and ignoring XML. Details.
It evolved to XML but not for M$ MONEY. Today we would use JSON for similar tasks.

I'm running reviews on Open Exchange since April 2021.
I have seen excellent packages, good ones, and some that made me feel just lost.
And I started to recognize contributors also by their style and organization of the submitted packages.

During the last weeks, I was working on various issues and problems related to SW development.
I found that quite often problem analysis was mostly chasing issues just on the surface
but not really attacking the deeper reasons of the problem and follow the consequences.
It's like the doc that stops your leg bleeding but doesn't see that it is broken.

In a former responsibility as Software Support Manager at Digital Equipment Corp. and
later CIO for Austria and Eastern Europe I trained successfully my product and operational 
specialists in analytic troubleshooting.

I'd like to share with you some storage features that also exist in Caché but are almost 
unknown and mostly not used. They are of course available in IRIS and gain importance

I also placed a bunch of Pull Requests on Github when I found a problem I could fix.
Some were accepted and merged, some just ignored. 
So if you did a major change and expect a changed review just let me know.

For several weeks I'm creating reviews on OEX.
So I'd like to explain to you the criteria that I apply to find my ratings.
Of course, each reviewer is an independent person and has his own criteria and his own opinion.
And that's good and important! As Winston Churchill once said:

"If 2 people always have the same opinion, then 1 of them is superfluous"
