Global and DDict Tables

The Global and DataDictionary tables on our Deployment Server are not
correct. Can the correct tables that are on a Client Workstation be copied
to the Spec directory on the deployment server or are the files different
between the Dep box and a Client worstation?

Also, some of our Update packages include these tables, but not all of them.
What causes these to be included in an Update package, but not in others?

Yes, they can, but it's even easier to just delete them - it will re-create
those as required (of course, you have to sign out first)...

These files are not built in packages - it simply creates a set of empty
ones, which essentially deletes them from the clients at the deployment. It
would do that if there is anything TBLE-related in the package. This should
not be required for anything else, but it might do it in other cases (just
in case) too.

KJ,

When you say the Global Table and Data Dictionary spec files on the Deployment Serveer are "not correct" what do you mean exactly?
 
We added fields to the Data Dictionary, but they were never put on the
DepServer. Whenever a package includes the Global Tables or Data Dictionary
ans it gets deployed to a client, the custom mod stops working because the
additional fields in the Data Dictionary are lost. We then manually copy the
ddb and xdb files from our Developer's workstation to the now not working
client.

I supose that what I'm really asking is how can we get the DD and GT's to
replicate from the Developer's workstation up to the Deployment Server?

Yes you can copy them to the deployment server. Just be sure to copy them to the correct location. They should go to: B7333\environment\PACKAGE\latest full package\SPEC.
