[osee-dev] Retirement of HRID

["Dunne, Donald G" <donald.g.dunne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The 5 character HRID (eg:SQ5DG) was created on every artifact in the database as an easier way to identify artifacts than using the 20 character guid (eg:AEG7ShVZIFb5pQo5TwgA). This extra id and the efforts to keep it unique caused un-necessary performance issues, extra database indexes and database storage.

 

It was determined that this ID was un-necessary for all but existing ATS actions. The code change to make this switch was released as part of 0.14.0.

 

If the ATS HRID is desired for legacy actions, tasks, goals and reviews, there is a BLAM that will populate the “ats.ATS ID” attribute with the HRID.  Otherwise, another conversion will need to be provided to populate the existing actions with their Id.

 

The code to generate HRIDs for all artifacts was removed in 0.14.  The code to generate HRIDs for ATS objects will be removed in 0.15.
