[icf-dev] changing object type

Mike

I am not sure that what you want to do is very straight forward, as RTB does not support changing the Code Subtype of an object - and part of the integration between RTB and Dynamics is that the object type from Dynamics and the Code Subtype in RTB have to match. Although it is possible to have objects that do not match (there are some examples in the existing repository), this is not possible for new objects.

We have a similar situation where we need to make some changes to existing object types in RTB. If I come up with a safe solution for this, I will let you know.

Sorry I cannot be of more direct help right now.

Subject: changing object type

Hi,

is it o.k. to change the object type in dynamics (V1.1 SP2,

planning to upgrade to SP3, Roundtable integrated)? We have

created some special viewers and used a special object type

(itViewer). Planning a fast migration to Dynamics Version 2

we decided to go back to the original object types and make

use of the enhanced AppBuilder features for dynamic objects.

FIND gsc_object WHERE gsc_object.OBJECT_filename = "xvdAdr"

EXCLUSIVE. FIND ryc_smartobject WHERE

ryc_smartobject.object_filename = gsc_object.OBJECT_filename

EXCLUSIVE.

FIND gsc_object_type WHERE OBJECT_type_code = "dynView" NO-LOCK.

ASSIGN gsc_object.OBJECT_type_obj =

gsc_object_type.OBJECT_type_obj

ryc_smartobject.object_type_obj =

gsc_object_type.OBJECT_type_obj .

The code runs fine and the object type gets changed. I wonder

if this is the right way to change the object type of an

existing object. The next thing I faced is that Roundtable

does not change the code subtype from itViewer to dynView for

the object which makes me doubt that I am on the right way or

I might face problems during deployment.

What should be the right way to change the object type?

Thanks,

Mike
