Say I have an app called X, and it uses an Analysis that contains files Customer, Address and Phone.
I have another app called Y, and it uses an Analysis that contains files Supplier, Address and Phone.
In X.Address, I want to add a Zip+4 field (a US postal code with extended information). I also want Y.Address to have the same Zip+4 field. Other than add it manually, is the a way to insure that any additions or deletions from one Address file is mirrored by the other?
Thanks for any thoughts. |

Hello Art,
I'm going to start sounding like a broken record (for those of you who remember those), but you can adapt my wxreplication for a case like this one.
Because the transport step is pure text (ie not linked to an analysis), nothing prevents you from using a different analysis/set of files on each side of the transport. Currently, the constraint would be that the files/fields have the same name on both side, but even that could be extended by using a translation table.
Best regards |

Hi Art,
No, it can't be done with the current WX IDE.
A way that PC Soft could implement it AND at the same time leave the data analysis compatible with previous versions, would be to implement what I call "Global Metatypes" and "Global Group Metatypes".
A developer creates a Global Metatype for Zip codes in a Universal Data Dictionary.
Then he uses this Global Metatype in his other normal Analysis - the trick would be that when this Global Metatype changes then the changes are automatically done (inherited) in the normal Analysis also.
A "Global Group Metatype" would work the same, on many grouped fields.
Of course, if we were able to work directly on a text edition of the Analysis things would be a lot easier.
Hope PCSoft is listening ...

Hi Art,
a WD Feature in this area would be Dictonary, together with subscription: Its not tight to a project/analysis
from Help:
"The dictionary is a file that may contain the project elements: description of files, items, windows, and so on. The dictionary is a convenient way to store the created elements so that they can be re-used in new projects.
When re-using an element from the dictionary, this element can "subscribe" to the modifications. Whenever the object found in the dictionary is modified, this modification can be applied to all the subscriber objects that can "follow" the evolution of the dictionary."
regards, Heinz |
