The InterSystems Change Control Record (CCR) application is used to help manage changes to deployed applications, both within InterSystems as well as at healthcare end-user sites (i.e. TrakCare and HealthShare customers).  It is a tool that helps to document changes, enforce best practice workflow, and automate source control integration and change promotion between different environments.

The CCR tag on the InterSystems Developer Community is intended to allow CCR users around the world to connect with each other to ask how-to questions, share best practices, and engage with InterSystems developers who maintain the application and tools.  NOTE - usage of CCR is limited to sites implemented by or hosted by InterSystems (it is not available to all customers of InterSystems products).  

When posting a CCR related Question or Article to the Developer Community, please select the Group based on your product (HealthShare or TrakCare) and then select "CCR" as one of the tags.

%NOCHECK for Objects

When batch inserting data into a table via SQL, I can use the %NOCHECK keyword to avoid checking foreign key integrity. This would be appropriate for cases when the inserted data has been verified by some external process.

However, when inserting via objects, I don't see a way to get the same behavior. Are there any workarounds that use objects for this?

CCR users can now take advantage of an enhanced syntax for substituting pre-defined tokens with live URL links within phase-related text fields. In addition to the existing <env> token which automatically updates to reflect the Environment of the relevant CCR Record, CCR now introduces three new keywords: <smp> , <smpPrefix> , and <homepage>.

Hello everyone,

My team is currently developing guidance and best practices for the generation, storage, and deployment of TUNE TABLE statistics across development and production environments. With that in mind, we want to get an idea of what methods teams in the field have developed for handling this data. In particular, we’d like to know the following:

Now users can filter the CCR table by multiple conditions for the CCR tables displayed on the home page and the CCR tab of the System Details page.

Previously users were only able to filter the rows by one condition at a time. This made it cumbersome for users to quickly find CCRs that they knew met multiple conditions, as they would have to choose the condition that would produce the least number of results for them to then manually filter through.

CCR Client ItemSets now have a "stale" cut-off time. When a client-bound ItemSet is created in CCR, a user has 24 hours to deploy it to any environments. After 24 hours, this ItemSet is no longer deployable or downloadable. The deploy links will be disabled and instead the user will notice a "Refresh ItemSet" option which will create a new ItemSet. Users can then use this fresh ItemSet to deploy their changes, see below:

There is an exciting new Organizational Dashboard feature available within CCR. This new functionality allows users to get a wholistic view of the CCR usage within their organization, allowing things like:

  • See warnings for when organizational usage patterns need to be adjusted
  • View total CCR volume
  • Explore the most active CCR Systems
  • Identify DB version of various Environments
  • Discover which Systems are no longer active and are candidates for Depreciation
  • List the CCR Client Tool update dates to see what is out of date (to be released shortly)
  • Examine number of active CCR users, their CCR activity volume and which of them are Perforce users
  • Correct ItemSets which are troubled across all Systems

Hello CCR Users,

This is a last call for feedback on a few Angular pages in beta before we release them to all CCR Users later this month.

These pages will be released from beta:

  • Create CCR
  • Clone CCR
  • Merge CCRs
  • Group Details
  • Standard Changes
  • Peer Review Docs

Group, Standard Changes and Peer Review Docs are lower traffic pages, so we especially appreciate feedback on those.
