Useful Smallworld PNI Magik commands
Let’s have a handle on an object :
MagikSF> bb << dbv[:mit_bay].an_element()
$
mit_bay4444:(70511)
1. setvars() – has an argument print? – will set some usefull/frequently used SW Magik environment variables:
2. m() – returns a method for an object; Can be used together with ‘source_file’
3. object.ap(str/symbol OPT including_private? including_system?) – shows all methods defined on the object where the name includes the substring STR/SYMBOL
4. view(name_as_symbol) – returns the dataset cached with the key NAME_AS_SYMBOL
5. pms() – print memory statistics
6. colap(string/symbol OPT view) – writes names of all collections (in the specified view) where name includes ‘string/symbol’
7. w()/p()/dp() – write()/print()/debug_print()
8. a_view.apn() – return the string for the name of the current alternative
9. a_record_or_collection.df() – Displays all the fields of either a record or a database collections, this is useful for debugging purposes. Please NOTE the difference if you are using ‘a_record_or_collection.describe_fields()’ – it gives you all fields with values.
10. fdap(str/symbol OPT a_view) – writes out all ‘collection name: field name’, where a field name includes STR/SYMBOL
11. a_record_or_collection.fdap(str/symb) – Writes/Returns fields with name matching str/symb
12. dbs() – writes out current Database information
13. object.pa/object.ph – print_ancestry / print_hierarchy of an object
14. object.p/object.dp – print /debug_print of an object
15. wrel(a_col OPT a_method) – writes out elements of the collection A_COL by performing A_METHOD
16. prel(a_col) – prints out elements of A_COL
1. setvars() – has an argument print? – will set some usefull/frequently used SW Magik environment variables:
MagikSF> setvars(_false)
$
MagikSF> setvars()
$
gpm << gis_program_manager
v << mit_manager.modelit_dataset (mit_gis_ds_view(Gis))
de_view << mit_manager.modelit_dataset.dyn_enum_view (dyn_enums_ds_view(Dynamic_enumerator))
tv << mit_manager.modelit_dataset.template_view (template_ds_view(Template))
dbv << v.collections
mm << mit_manager (a sw:mit_manager)
paf << smallworld_product.pni_application() (pni_application(pni))
pam << paf.manager (a pni_application_manager(application_manager))
pg << pam.pseudo_grs (a emst!pseudo_grs(pseudo_grs))
plugs << paf.plugins() (sw:rope:[1-87])
2. m() – returns a method for an object
MagikSF> m(bb, :trace_description)
$
method trace_description in mit_description_mixin
Can be used together with ‘source_file’ :
MagikSF> m(bb, :trace_description).source_file
$
“../SW410/pni410/modules/mixins/source\mit_description_mixin.magik”
3. object.ap(str/symbol OPT including_private? including_system?) – shows all methods defined on the object where the name includes the substring STR/SYMBOL
MagikSF> bb.ap(:trace)
$
method trace_desc() in mit_description_mixin
class constant trace_start_node_selectable? in mit_bay
method trace_description in mit_description_mixin
class constant trace_start_node_trail_required? in mit_bay
method trace_on(stream, optional expand_n) in object
4. view(name_as_symbol) – returns the dataset cached with the key NAME_AS_SYMBOL
MagikSF> view(:design_admin)
$
gis_ds_view(Design_admin)
5. pms() – print memory statistics
MagikSF> pms()
$

6. colap(string/symbol OPT view) – writes names of all collections (in the specified view) where name includes ‘string/symbol’
MagikSF> colap(:bay).p
