JDE Object Browser 2.0

[jileto]

Hi Craig,

Thank you for creating this tool.

I recently noticed that the object explorer displays "Object ID" in the object tree. It should display "Object Bhvr ID" instead - just like the stock Object/ER Browser does in OMW.

For a lot of objects, "Object ID" and "Object Bhvr ID" are the same. I noticed the difference occurs when custom fields/objects are introduced in a UBE. Then, the "Object ID" and "Object Bhvr ID" go out of synch. But the stock Object/ER Browser reports the "Object Bhvr ID".

Can you enhance ObjectBrowser to add a switch to specify whether "Object ID" or "Object Bhvr ID" will be displayed? A switch would be nice just in case there are devs that prefer "Object ID" over "Object Bhvr ID".

Craig hi,
my fat client machine was just upgraded to Tools Release 9.2.7.4 and now I can't open the Object Browser; it shows error message "Error Loading JDEL.DLL" and then is stuck on connecting. I tried to reinstall but it doesn't help

Make sure you have the right version of OB (32 or 64 bit). 32 bit will have have a bin32 directory under system within your fat client E1 install. 64 bit will have bin64. If moving to 64 bit, install that version from http://www.patwel.com/downloads. Make sure you have the MS redist package installed as well (download link is on the Patwel download page.

thanks
Craig

Thank you Craig! Admin who updated my fat client didn't inform me it was changed to 64bit

Craig, just wanted to say thank you for your tool! Yesterday was first day in a while when I had to use standard tools and I felt like I'm going crazy.

Thanks! Glad you find OB useful. Try JDETrace and NERDup, if you like.

Hi Craig, as OB is such an essential item, I always leave it open and it eventually gets an expired token. I can just exit it and restart it but I'd lose what I was doing. Yes, can save workspace, save parameters etc but it would be even better if there was a 'refresh token' or similar button. Does that make sense?

Oracle really should buy this off you and make it part of the standard tools. If Larry can afford it.

If you launch a UBE from OB, the JDE ER Debugger won't attach to it and stop on breakpoints. The UBE has to be invoked from the activeConsole.exe client for debugging.
Is there any way around that? It's helpful that OB remembers your testing data selection so a shame it won't play nice with the ER debugger.

Craig - I noticed that the OB 2.5.2.0 is available and has a new line "Support for OMW file repository" on the bottom of the features list. Can you elaborate as to what this feature does?

That means OB will pull objects from F98780R when asking requesting a Central Objects source location. Objects with any file components are stored in there and compressed. Not sure exactly when that became a thing, but I think it's part of the goal to remove the Deployment server. That's just a guess.

thanks
