Use cloning to create study-specific custom programs

  • Recommendation: To create a study-specific custom program, clone an existing custom program to a study-specific application area in the DMW_UTIS domain, and update the clone with the study-specific information.

  • Rationale: When you clone a custom program, you can update table descriptors that are specific to a particular study without modifying the initial custom program or creating one from scratch.

  • Additional information: Do not use one application area as a common repository for all studies. Instead, use LSH cloning to duplicate the core program definition for specific studies.
