In software engineering, continuous integration (CI) is the practice of merging all developer working copies to a shared mainline several times a day.
In healthcare interoperability environments, InterSystems Health Connect typically contains critical components such as productions, business processes, operations, services, utility classes, routines, and other ObjectScript artifacts. Traditionally, many deployments of these components have been done manually, by copying classes, importing XML, or using administrative tools from the management portal.
Welcome to the next chapter of my CI/CD series, where we discuss possible approaches toward software development with InterSystems technologies and GitLab.
Today I want to share a few approaches that will decrease your compilation time (especially if you're doing incremental/diff compilation rather than a full build).
Code load and compilation are affected by a variety of flags and qualifiers. If you write deployment scripts for InterSystems platforms, I highly recommend reading them at least once through.
