HTH,

Ben

Please make sure to mark a response as an accepted answer once you are all set - it makes it helpful for others looking for an answer and prevents the 'unanswered' list from including things which have been resolved.

Thanks! 

w $system.Version.GetNumber() will get you just the version number string

Joel - the first paragraph says that eGit is installed with Atelier automatically but Nicole has confirmed that this is not the case.  Could you please edit the article and remove that statement?

Thanks!

Ben

There is a huge benefit from two perspectives:

- If you need to refresh data in your Dev or Test environment, you can just grab the globals DB from Live and drop it in and not worry about overwriting any code in Dev or Test

- If you choose to deploy your code via a DB drop, you can drop in a new DB to replace the existing routines DB

NOTE - for either of these to work, you may need to map configuration into the routines DB (so you don't bring back Live config into Dev for instance)

HTH!

Ben

Robert - thanks for posting, and it's great seeing that you're still doing awesome work in this space!

All the best,

Ben

FYI ... we will have several sessions covering this topic at the Global Summit - attend if you can, otherwise check out the material afterwards!

For internal application development within InterSystems we use a variety of approaches, but the most common is as follows:

1) We use an internally developed issue tracking system, but we plan to eventually migrate to JIRA

2) We use Perforce for all of our source control 

3) We have BASE, TEST and LIVE environments for every application, typically BASE and TEST being cloned from VM snapshots of LIVE.  In addition to the Shared BASE VM, for those applications which are undergoing the highest rate of change, developers will create a local copy of the application to do their development work.  Some apps have all changes being developed on Shared BASE and the changes are progressed (via our Change Control tool) to TEST and the LIVE.  For applications where developers use Private BASEs, they commit there and then push the changes to Shared BASE and then to TEST and LIVE.

Feel free to ask questions (here or at Global Summit)!

Thanks for asking.

John - if you haven't already done so, please contact the WRC and let them know how important it is to get the Production Class UI to respect source control hooks (I am with you all the way on this one, but Product Management needs to hear it from customers)

Brendan - I think you are missing a ( in:

    do file.WriteLine(^Global1key))

Pravin - nice article, thank you.

You might want to add "... using Extended Global Reference" to your Title (to make it easier to find in a search) and include a link to the documentation on that:

http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY… 

Thanks for contributing :)

Fabio - does this work if you make changes via Object access as well, or just SQL?

Per #14: Logging - you requested a community Logging solution.  Have you seen:

https://community.intersystems.com/post/logging-using-macros-intersystems-cach%C3%A9

This looks like a very good tool and I am seriously considering standardizing its use in my team.  

Sven,

I know that customers have set this up before.  Here are some old notes that I found which may point you in the right direction.  NOTE - I have never done this myself so I con't be of much help beyond pointing out this starting point:

Implementation Outline:
1. Configure CSP to accept IIS's authentication headers and pass them to Caché

2. Set up delegated authentication to use existing security model to assign $username and $roles 
based on the user's domain accountname and/or domain groups. (Implement ZAUTHENTICATE.MAC)

3. Enable delegated authentication for any desired services and CSP applications -- in this case 
the system management portal.
·  Configuration (e.g. CSP application definition)
·  Login Page Logic decides based on Gateway Service User, whether to trust REMOTE_USER HTTP 
header, or to prompt for username/password (other fields such as PIN are also an option).

HTH,

Ben

Steve,

Here is some sample code that should help get you going in the right direction.  NOTE - the byRef LD argument is a handle for the connection to the LDAP server and it needs to be cleaned up when you're done if you're going to fetch any attributes.  

(sorry for the messed up indentation)

I certainly hope that the mystery parties who have been moderating that site are reaching out to Google in order to get it reinstated.  There was certainly a lot of valuable information on that site!
