#Perforce

TL;DR: My comment to Microsoft when I voted:Our team has implemented most of what we need for source management of Power BI Report files in Perforce. The missing piece? Automated creation of ".pbix" files from ".pbit" template files that can deployed to the Power BI Report Server. Let's get the manual “Power BI Desktop->File->Save As” step out of the process to make report deployment totally automated.

Hi there,

I've been busy setting up Perforce source control on a Cache 2017.2.2.865.0 instance. Everything is mostly done and working through studio hooks. Checking out, modifying and checking back in works correctly but I would like to know what the hook, override, setting is to force studio to check if the class needs to be checked out or is already checked out by another user before you are allowed to edit it.

One of the many benefits of using Atelier for your ObjectScript development is its integration with a wide range of source control systems. This integration enables you to use modern development workflows which increase collaboration while minimizing the risk inherent to volatile code bases. 

Veteran ObjectScript developers can tell you about the workarounds that were needed before they could use source control systems with products like Caché and Ensemble. One of these was to treat the data store itself effectively as a code repository. And so shared development environments became essential for many of our customers to be productive and successful. 

For code shops that rely on shared development environments, adopting Atelier might seem too complicated. This article aims to provide a practical example to guide your team towards success with Atelier. 

You can find an overview of the problems and solutions in this article here, which is a good place to start. This article assumes that you are familiar with the concepts introduced there. 

The goal of this article is to give users of InterSystems products background on source control in general, and how it can be used with Atelier, an Eclipse plugin. Specifically, I'll be discussing what to do when all of your developers share a single dev instance of an InterSystems product where they can edit and compile code. For more information about the implementation details, and sample workflow, see Michelle Stolwyk's DC post giving a Perforce example. Once you have a better understanding of the concepts and have some ideas of how you might want to implement this on your own system, we

Hi Community! 

Please welcome a new session recording from Global Summit 2017:

Shared Development in the 21st Century

I'm writing some custom functions for use in a routing rule.  I have a few that are working, but right now I'm trying to use one that has no parameters.  Typically this would be a sub instead of a function, but I'm not familiar enough with Cache to know what I need to do here. 

Here is the code:
