Hello,

We recently started development in a new application in OI and we are now about 1/4 the way into the project and we need to change the name, how should we go about doing this?

I've tried usuing the copy form utility but on some of the forms it fails with errors. For example:

"An error occured while compiling the new form in this application

REP310

1"

WHat does this mean? How do we go about fixing this or what is the best way to go about doing a name change and or getting the forms/procs into the new application?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Funny enough, a client just asked us how to do this, and we decided to whip up a utility for this.

Basically, it's a matter of creating the new app, copying all repository entities and sources, creating a new DBT, twiddling indexes and revmedia entries and resynching the users.

Jarod,

We've found that a quick and dirty way of doing this is to create an APPBACKUP of the application, attach the APPBACKUP tables, have a utility loop through all records in all APPBACKUP tables and do two things: 1) rename the keys by changing the application name, and 2) replace all references to the old application name with the new application name within the records themselves (e.g. all SYSREPOSBACKUP records). Finally, create the new application and run APPBACKUP restore. This usually gets you 95-100% there.

If you need to modify your table's native application then do what Aaron suggested.

Can I just suggest something, another way I 've done was create a new application which is inheritance the old application.Then you can change the stuffs(forms, subroutines etc…) into the new names by recompiling it.
