The nice advantage of storing them in the DB is that is makes the following easier:

- refreshing earlier environments for testing
- mirroring the file contents
- encryption
- simpler consistent backups

However, if you're talking about hundreds of GBs of data, then you can run into issues which you should weigh against the above:

- journaling volume
- .dat size
- .dat restore time

One way to help mitigate the above for larger volume file management is to map the classes that are storing the the stream properties into their own .DAT so they can be managed separately from other application data, and then you can even use subscript level mapping to cap the size of the file .DATs.  

Hope that helps

Congratulations - well done everyone :)

Thanks Phillip ... very helpful!!

Congrats!!!  Well deserved:)  Thank you all for your contributions!! 

Thank you for publishing!!

I am curious ... did you start with one of the existing open source Git hooks for ObjectScript or did you start from scratch with this project?

Great article @John Murray!  We automatically set this global in our environment configuration logic (as well as set notify the user as to the application and environment type in ZWELCOME) whenever we run our customized instance configuration script.  Very helpful to make the intention of the environment clear whenever you are in the SMP!

Are you asking how to check a global to see if the system is Dev/Test/Production as per the "System Mode" dropdown in the "Memory and Startup" page in the SMP?

If so, then this is stored in the following global:

^%SYS("SystemMode")

It should have values like "DEVELOPMENT", "TEST" and "LIVE"

nice work!!!

very nice ... this definitely fills a practical need!!!

Great tool to know about... thank you for sharing.

Very interesting Evgeny!  Just curious what the motivating case is for this?  

Very exciting!!  Congratulations to all involved in getting these out the door :)

@Evgeny Shvarov -  "Check the article on the naming and proposed folder structure."

Is this supposed to link to a specific article?

Terrific article Tim - thank you for writing it!  I have bookmarked it for future reference :)

What is the system to use for enabling/disabling System Items?

You could add the specific pieces you wish to deploy to a Project in Studio and export that project and then import it where you need it.  

Congratulations and thank you for your contributions!!
