@Evgeny Shvarov - CCR is available for any sites managed, hosted or primed by InterSystems.  If there are other sites interested in using it, they should contact their account manager to see if an exception can be approved

Conversion is written by the developer.  

We are experimenting with automatically generating these via AI tools.

We always have a manual Backout Plan.  It is up to the developer as to whether they choose to automate that backout in a custom tag in the implementation routine or not.

Our CICD Pipeline (leveraging CCR) has the option of including an ObjectScript routine which is run when updated code is loaded into a target environment (called an "ImplementCCR routine").  This will do whatever conversion logic is necessary to accompany the change in class definitions, etc.  In addition, we have a load harness (CCR Event Handler) that can be customized if we need to do something specific each time a configuration item of a particular type is loaded (e.g. an updated data dictionary file triggers a load of that file automatically).  

This has proven to be very flexible and has worked well for all of our internally built applications and customizations to InterSystems products in the field for over 15 years.

Thank you @Ali Nasser  and team for the many months of hard work to get this new exam created!  It will be very helpful for assisting people in proving their CCR proficiency.

I went 9 for 12!  I didn't play golf, pick up a new certification or have a formal 1:1 with an expert, although I enjoyed talking to them informally through-out the conference!

Can't wait for the User Group meetings to connect with some of the users of AppServices open source packages and services (CCR, IPM, Embedded Git)! 

For those that don't have a good source control solution for their IRIS installations, I recommend becoming familiar with that George James has to offer.  They have long been a trusted and valued partner and have many innovative ideas in the space of change management for InterSystems projects!! (no, they didn't ask me to say this, I have just always admired their work).

Really looking forward to seeing many of you there!!  

Please note - new this year there are User Group meals (Breakfast or Lunch) for the following technology cohorts:

  • IPM
  • Embedded Git
  • CCR

If you're a user of one of these packages / services, or want to learn more, please make sure to add the event(s) to your schedule!!

Can't wait for this READY presentation Tim!!  It's been amazing seeing what you and the team are learning with ObjectScript dev and the application of Claude Code!
