Please have your student reach out to the WRC so they can look into this issue.  In all likelihood there is something specific to the student's account that needs to be corrected

It looks like Production.cls is a production class which is loaded into and compiled within the IRIS data platform.  You would need a connection in order to load and compile the code.  I am not sure what you mean by compiling the code (which required IRIS) without a connection to IRIS?  Can you please explain more about what you are trying to accomplish?

I think this is awesome! I appreciate your publishing it John - I learned a lot and will discuss this with my team to see what might be useful (CC: @Timothy Leavitt )

No ... all kit distribution to supported customers is through the Distribution section of the WRC.

@Robert Cemper  - thank you very much for all the ways in which you strive to continue to make out Community better!  I am sure this took time to pull together - I hope it gets traction.

Really great overview!!  Super helpful reference having all of these in one place :)  Thank you!

This was more to figure out the proper way to do this in order for tracking for the badge, etc on the G.M. platform.  It makes sense that it needs to originate in a challenge (and than you to Olga for pointing that out).

I don't think that just having a form on the D.C. to invite a friend necessarily makes sense, as anyone can just shoot a friend an email with the link.  If others would like to see this as a new feature I won't object though.

Thank you @Olga Zavrazhnova!  I knew I had seen it somewhere at some point.  I just had a conversation with a new colleague yesterday about the value of the D.C. and Global Masters, so I will send her an invite :)

"Invite your colleague to Developer Community" - is there a formal way to do this via the D.C. interface?  I looked around and couldn't seem to find an 'invite a friend' option or anything like that.  I have some colleagues whom I think would benefit from getting involved in the D.C.

I thought that Windows containers still have issues?  Or is Windows on Docker at full parity now with Linux on Docker?

Thanks Bob - that's a great reference to be aware of (I hadn't seen it in the docs before)

@Julian Matthews  - it is never too late :)  Since you know the exact version that you were upgrading from / to, I think you're in the best position to still report this as a bug to the WRC.  They can then test to see if it's still an issue on the latest versions and they can log an internal bug if that is that case.  I would encourage you to still take a little time and ensure it is officially logged.

Ben Spead · Sep 14, 2023 go to post

did you report this as a bug to Support?  it seems to me that this value should always persist since an upgrade shouldn't change the function of the environment 

Ben Spead · Sep 13, 2023 go to post

@John Murray  - the fix did go out last week and was just re-tested this morning, so you must be hitting something different.  Please click on "Submit Feedback" in the Cloud Portal and include the specific details of what you are seeing and Support will take a look at why your attempts are still failing and will work with you directly.

In that case, install Python on your machine with the library you want to use, and call $zf(-100) to execute your python script.  Later when you upgrade your environment you can move to using embedded Python directly.  

Ben Spead · Sep 11, 2023 go to post

This sounds like a classic example of leveraging embedded Python in IRIS to make use of the very large volume of python libraries that do just about anything :)  Here is an article that I found on a quick Google search on how to do this in Python:

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/convert-pdf-to-image-using-python/

You could just leverage the Python capabilities of InterSystems IRIS to make use of how this problem has been solved in Python!

@John Murray  - I was just informed that the cloud team is aware of the issue and they plan to push a fix this AM.  No need to contact Support on this one :)  

Ben Spead · Sep 8, 2023 go to post

John - FYI ... you can reach out to Support to help with issues like this.  Sounds to me like a bug that they we would want to jump on quickly.  Thank you for bringing it to our attention!!

Thank you for all of your hard work ... it's amazing to see how far this ecosystem has come in the past couple of years :)

Ahh ... if they need to be used elsewhere then that is a different story.  

I forget off the top of my head exactly how this would work, but you could potentially subclass your Org class and just add the parent cardinality relationship.  I *think* that should force the extent of the subclass to be embedded in the parent class ( @Dan Pasco?), which should automate the cascading delete for you without impacting the Orgs stored independently.
