About registering data change code

There are two ways to register your data change code

  • Through the data_change command prompt tool
  • Through the DataChangeAPI web service

The data change registration details vary between these two variants.

In all cases, before proceeding you must have:

  • Data change code in the form of a Gosu script that you have already tested in your development environment.
  • A human-readable description for your data change.
  • A unique reference ID that you create to represent this data change.
Important: If you need to re-run a successful data change, you must first re-register the script with a new reference ID. This is requirement preserves the integrity of the results log.
