Inventory Facility

Create a catalog of your code.

Background Information

The Inventory facility is provided to enumerate and catalog the file and routine components of a Caché system. Inventories are run during installation and upgrade, and can be used to identify changes in a Caché system over time.

InterSystems uses this facility to identify changes systematically between releases, and it is available for your use as well.
