RDS Versioning

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Hi,

We have a requirement on RDS to track and manage the versions based on the following:

- Every change to a value or code creates a new version of that reference dataset.

- Effective start and end dates of the change

- No deletion of previous versions


Versioning needs:

- Ability to see previous versions in addition to the current published RDS in a report or downloadable activity log

- API to download deltas between versions

- Need to see value/code changed, change date, changed by


Use Cases for Versioning:

- Investigating why a code changed and who made the change

- Preparing a version to become effective in the future

- For larger RDS (Copp Clark) only delta changes need to be sent for updates to downstream systems

Frequency of version creation:

- changes could happen from once a week to once a year for a reference dataset
