Mike - thanks for posting this for everyone's benefit!  One minor point though - is this a Question (as you created it) or an Article?  Is there anything  you are asking specifically? (I don't know that there is a way for you to change it to an article at this point but you should note the difference for next time).

I do want to let everyone know that they can rely on the link https://download.InterSystems.com  always pointing to our evaluation kit download application (even if the rest of the website is rearranged).  That is an application managed by my team and it intended to always be accessible through that entry point.  

Sankar,

For a version of Caché this old (circa 2002) I strongly suggest that you contact the WRC directly for assistance (http://www.intersystems.com/services-support/product-support/).  That will be your best bet to getting your system back online as quickly as possible.

Please feel free to report back here as to the root cause and resolution for what you're seeing.

Mike,

I am not sure about the "access denied" message you are seeing - perhaps Paul could comment on that.  However, to manage all of your subscriptions:

1) Log in

2) Click on My Account (top icon bar)

3) Click on the Subscriptions tab

Then I strongly recommend that you click "Settings" and Uncheck "Digest Mode".  The Digest emails are really not very usable (IMHO) and work has been done to make the individual emails more useful - you may find those to be better and closer to what you are used to in the Google Groups (assuming you didn't use Digest in Google Groups).  

Under the "Page / Threads" tab you can unsubscribe to the threads you are no longer interested in.  

I hope that helps.  The email update mechanism has come a long way but it still has quite a ways to go.  There is work that will be commencing shortly to enable HTML based email which should be an improvement as well.

Thanks for the shout-out Paul!

I would like to clarify that subscription emails have been revamped for non-digest emails *only*.  In order to turn off Digest, you need to go to:

My Account > Subscriptions Tab > Expand "Settings" at the bottom and then uncheck "Digest mode"

 

The new email formatting isn't fully where we're like to see it yet (e.g. it is not HTML and it doesn't include full thread history) but I hope that people find that it makes consumption of updates via email significantly more useful than it was previously.  Personally - I can't wait to see this change go live!

Here is a sample method which I created for a Zen Mojo project a couple of years ago:


ClassMethod GeocodeAddress(pAddress As %String, Output pFormattedAddress As %String, Output pLatitude As %Numeric, Output pLongitude As %Numeric) As %Status { 
Set sc=$$$OK Set r=##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New() 
Set r.Server="maps.googleapis.com" 
Set url="/maps/api/geocode/json?address=" 
Set address=pAddress 
Set requestUrl=url_##class(%CSP.Page).EscapeURL(address) 
Do r.Get(requestUrl) 
Set json=r.HttpResponse.Data.Read() 
Set sc=##class(%ZEN.Auxiliary.jsonProvider).%ConvertJSONToObject(json,,.geoObj) 
If $$$ISERR(sc) Quit sc 
If (geoObj.status="OK") { 
 Set pFormattedAddress=geoObj.results.GetAt(1)."formatted_address" 
 Set pLatitude=geoObj.results.GetAt(1).geometry.location.lat 
 Set pLongitude=geoObj.results.GetAt(1).geometry.location.lng 
 } 
Else { 
 Set sc=$$$ERROR($$$GeneralError,"Google API Returned the following status: "_geoObj.status) 
 } 
Quit sc }
 

Dan,

You might take a look at Benjamin DeBoe's iKnow demos which I believe are all sharable with customers.  They leverage REST+AngularJS (which cuts down on the JS code you have to write)+Bootstrap (which ships with Caché in 2016.1 I believe to support ZenMojo's Bootstrap flavor).  That might be a good starting point for sample code if this is a direction they are willing to explore.

HTH,

Ben

To add one more details to what Tim wrote about how we handle internal applications - we have a partnership with our QD department where at least one during every beta release period they will request a copy of each of our apps and verify compilation, automated unit tests and manual unit tests on that beta version of Caché.  This way if there is going to be any sort of breaking change, we know it before we upgrade our dev environment and we can schedule that upgrade more wisely so as not to halt other development work.  This practice is supported by the fact that we run all of our environments on VMs so it is fairly easy for us to get a new VM cloned off for them from Test and then we are not otherwise impacted in our development workflow.  

We have been able to move to new released much more quickly as a result of this practice
