#Continuous Integration

In software engineering, continuous integration (CI) is the practice of merging all developer working copies to a shared mainline several times a day.

We are a group of interface analysts in a healthcare setting, running IRIS for Health 2024, having upgraded over time from an old ENSEMBLE environment.  We have been working on a wish list of development goals, but are having trouble finding the correct, best practice method/path for getting to what we envision.

Current state:  We run IRIS for Health on a Redhat 8 virtual machine.  We run Interoperability productions (IE.cls) out of 6 namespaces.  We have a dev/test box and a production box.

Hi all,

I'm developing a Azure Pipeline to automate the deployment process in Caché.

I use selfhosted agent to execute code im my Caché Server.

My problem is that cession execution via cmd always terminate with exit code 1 and the pipeline finishes with error, but the execution in Caché is fine, the method executed returns $$$OK
I use the following line to execute a class in Caché.
C:\InterSystems\Cache\bin\csession.exe CACHE -U  %RELEASE_TRIGGERINGARTIFACT_ALIAS% "##Class(sgf.pipeline.DeploymentManager).

Hello everyone,

I am attempting to implement continuous integration using Docker with Caché 2018.1, and I am in the process of creating an image for our client. I have already installed Caché 2018.1 on the RedHat server, but I am working on a script to create the database and namespace. For the database, I used the following code:

do ##class(SYS.Database).CreateDatabase("/usr/cachepoc/cache2018/mgr/poc/")

However, I have encountered some issues with this code.

I have followed the Article: Continuous Delivery of your InterSystems solution using GitLab, On our own Linux environment it works well but when I try to run it on a clients windows server; and the following command is run by the runner

irissession IRISHEALTH -U TEST "##class(isc.git.GitLab).load()" 

we get the following "error"

<NOTOPEN>>

I do not know why this happens, it does look like it has something to do with user rights but I am totally lost at this point as we have done everything I can think off relating to grant correct access etc.

Question Paster-Bachar Gadi · Sep 29, 2016

Hi All

 

I have a question on working with dev and prod environments.

 

After project is ready and signed, I usually migrate outcome to production using the export tool from the studio.

For changes/adding to existing projects, I exclude the production class (as it has some different values differing the dev from the live) and I add the differences manually afterwards.

 

My questions on migrating are:

Does anyone has (to share) his/her best practice steps on "migrating dev to prod"?

Does the export action (in management portal) is better to use?

Thanks

Gadi
