Copy classes between Servers with a few clicks

To copy a class to a another namespace on same server or on a another server just select the class and choose Copy via context menu. After that select the destination server and namespace. That’s all!

Also new:

• Import classes (incl. auto compile)
• Export classes
• Copy classes (incl. auto compile) between servers\namespaces
• Compile classes

Some minor improvements in Class Navigator are: Selection of target folder for class export is available, Class delete need to be confirmed by user

What is a CPF-File? When Caché starts, it reads configuration values from the text file cache.cpf, the  Caché parameter file, also called the CPF file. This file is a record of a particular Caché configuration.

The connection list is a list of remote servers you have previously defined to which you can quickly connect. Caché Server Manager manage this for Caché Launcher utilities or other Caché applications.

1. Create a new Namespace with a databaseTo try this feature it is recommended to create a new empty Namespace (and database for this namespace), e.g. called “CM_FEDERATED” as the federated namespace. All tables you want to JOIN in a query must be mapped in this namespace. Mapped means that only the meta data of the tables\classes are copied into the federated namespace, the data remains in their original namespace.
2. Select the tablesTo do this, open up your “source” namespaces one by one and select the individual tables in Table Browser (select “tables” in server navigator to open), right click on the selection and choose “Create mapped table”. You get asked about the destination namespace, choose the federated namespace and all done!

   
   You can now connect to the federated namespace e.g. via Query Analyzer and query your tables.

Hint: To remove a table (class) from the federated Namepace, just delete the class! Do not execute a drop table!

Read more about Extended Global Reference an how it works: http://docs.intersystems.com/cache52/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GGBL_structure#GGBL_str_extrefs

There are some restrictions in this version:

• DefaultStorage is required for mapped tables
• The table name has to be unique in the federated namespace

With the table browser the data can be edited via grid. Data filtering is easily right from the context menu. Many information’s from the selected table are prepared to analyze.

Max Rows and Max Chars can be configured. Max Rows limit the rows fetched from server.
Max Chars limit the size of charfields fetched from server.
These settings become saved and will be restored after Caché Monitor restart. To remove the limit just clear the field.

Please note: The option Max Rows works only if the table is NOT editable. This is the default, so after selecting a table the read only mode is set. To edit data you have to press the left button, this switch in “edit mode”

Double click on a table in tree opens a new Table Editor for the selected table. So now you can simultaneously open many tables.

For example:

SELECT * FROM CINEMA.Film 
WHERE CINEMA.Film.Category=$$MyVAR_001$$

When executing the above query, Caché Monitor will prompt the user for input the variable MyVAR_001. The SQL Editor replace the value of $$MyVAR_001$$ with the value entered by the user. The entered value will be substituted for each occurrence in the SQL Script.

The first step is to activate this feature! By default the variable substitution for sql script is disabled. It has to be enabled by pressing the toolbar, please see this screenshot:

Before executing the entire SQL Script the user have to enter all variables in the script:

On the message panel you find the sql statements send to the database.

Syntax of variables and using default values

The variable substitution in SQL scripts supports also setting a default value.

Variable Syntax ist

$$ VarName [ || VarValue]$$

• VarName = Required. The variable name appears in the substitution dialog. The entered value will be applied to all variables of that name.
• VarValue = Optional. The default value that appears in the substitution dialog.

The variable format supports setting a default value as in the following examples:

SELECT *
 FROM CINEMA.Film
 WHERE CINEMA.Film.Category = $$MyVAR_002||4$$

SELECT *
 FROM CINEMA.FilmCategory
 WHERE CINEMA.FilmCategory.CategoryName = $$MyVAR_003||'Action'$$

The variable substitution handles also complex default values like e.g. Sub selects.
