go to post Ben Spead · May 17, 2021 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

go to post Ben Spead · Apr 21, 2021 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?
go to post Ben Spead · Apr 19, 2021 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!
go to post Ben Spead · Apr 19, 2021 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"
