GUID and It's Association with Database Structures

  • Does Decisions create an associated GUID for each record?

    What is it associated with in the case of a Database Structure?

    [font=Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]What is the intended way to promote a User Defined - Database Structure’s records from one environment to the next (i.e - DEV/UAT to PROD) Are there actual entities that live in a Decisions Repository project? Or Does a database deployment script need to be used to promote the contents of the Database Structure to subsequent environments?[/font]

    Yes

    With Simple Database Structures, they get a GUID generated automatically as well. You can substitute the GUID with an ID of your choosing, but you run into the risk of conflicting IDs if you are using a mixed process for generating the IDs.

    Data from User-Defined Database Structures are not transferred when you export project. You have a couple of options for migrating the data in the table. The first is, as you suggested, by writing a script to copy/move the data into the production database. The second option would be to use the [b]Export Data To CSV[/b] option on the data structure. You could then import that data using the same option on production.
