Integrating InterSystems IRIS with Source Control Systems

Integrating InterSystems IRIS code with Git for version control requires configuring your namespace to use a custom source control class. You set this up in the Management Portal under System Administration > Configuration > Additional Settings > Source Control.

Yes, you can version control ObjectScript routines and classes in an external VCS. This is achieved by defining bidirectional document mappings between internal IRIS items and their external file system representations, interacting with VCS APIs for check-in and check-out.

Source control mapping for InterSystems IRIS data transformations works by defining bidirectional document mappings between internal IRIS items and external file locations. Custom source control classes subclass %Studio.Extension.Base to manage these interactions.

Yes, InterSystems IRIS source control integration supports check-in and check-out operations. Custom source control classes interact directly with external VCS APIs to manage status updates and version tracking for your classes and routines.

The best way to enable collaborative development for InterSystems IRIS namespaces is integrating them with external source control systems. This allows development teams to perform version tracking, branching, and merging on IRIS class definitions and routines.
