NOTE:  See this new article I threw up from Global Summit content I presented a few years ago for more ideas on differentiating Testing and Production environments:

https://community.intersystems.com/post/managing-many-environments-and-protecting-production 

Also, Classes lend themselves much better to programmatic access and manipulation of their content (you can do this with routines too but it is harder to do so due to their unstructured nature).

For example, the server-side Source Control hooks we use can programmatically insert an RCS Keyword as a class parameter ("SrcVer") into any class which doesn't already have it defined.   This is extremely powerful because it allows source control to create an automatic 'watermark' in every class created for our internal applications which can be programmatically access or from terminal:

SSO>write ##class(AppS.WebClient).#SrcVer
$Id: //custom_ccrs/us/ISCX/SSO/BASE/cls/AppS/WebClient.xml#6 $

This would require much more plumbing to do automatically with a routine!

Kumar,

It sounds like you are trying to use Atelier with client-side source control hooks against a shared development instance - is this correct?  If so, you are bound to experience frustration with this due to consistency issues.

Please review https://learning.intersystems.com/course/view.php?id=713 which discussed the 4 modes of development, which are to be avoided, and options available to you in a summary graphic from the training:

If you are going to be using Atelier with client-side hooks, I *strongly* recommend you move to giving each developer their own private instance to test against.

There are lots of things to consider when working with shared dev and Atelier.  I highly recommend that you take a look at this session from the last Global Summit  which should help to clarify the issues and help shape your options:

For my team we always deploy on VMs, which makes it trivial to clone the VM to create our Dev and Test instances (this helps ensure complete equivalent for all Caché settings, OS patch level, OS settings, etc).  When we moved to this approach it really helped to improve our testing stability and predictability (we have our Code and Data separated into different DB, so the Code DB is updated from source control and our Data DB can be updated weekly with restoring the backup of the Prod Data DB.

If you are currently deployed on bare iron this won't be an option for you.  But if you are virtualized for production (or can move to it in the future) you may find that it saves a lot of hassle for your Dev and Test instances.

Alexey,

The post you referred to was with respect to license key changes - I didn't see any guarantees that a previous non-Ubuntu installs would be upgradable (in fact I would be surprised if they were).

I suggest you contact the WRC for final confirmation, but I expect you'll need to start with a fresh instance and move over your code, config and data.

Hats off to you Sean!  You did a great job pulling all of this together!

Not sure if it is worth listing or not, but here is an *ancient* open source app written in Caché which may still be interesting to some people:

http://onforme.sourceforge.net/

https://sourceforge.net/projects/onforme/ 

(not guarantees that it will work out of the box with current versions of Caché ;) )

What is your browser and version?  Is it by any chance Firefox 57.0?

EDIT:  Nevermind - I see that you said Studio ate all of the licenses, so unless you are launching pages in a web browser from Studio my hunch probably isn't correct

You can run this from Caché Terminal, or put it in a routine or class and run it:

USER>Set httprequest=##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New()
 
USER>Set httprequest.Server="www.intersystems.com"
 
USER>Do httprequest.Get("/")
 
USER>Do httprequest.HttpResponse.OutputToDevice()

Great tip - thanks John!
