Store and Forward functionality

Hi all,

Would like to know more about Store and Forward functionality for remote development activity. Is there any known issues using this method? Please let me know if there are any white papers addressing these issues.

It is possible to use Standalone version for remote development - even easier than Store&Forward: no additional configuration that S&F requires.

Hi Pastuhov,

Thanks for your reply. Could you pls let me know in detail how to use Standalone version for remote development. Do you have any documents related to that?

Thanks in advance.

Palani,

This has been discussed here a few times before - you can search for "remote development", etc.

One way is to use one of our software tools.

Alex has a great tool for remote development where you can use Standalone for development, then, when the object is ready, use the tool to "package" the object in an encapsulated file, which can then be imported into OneWorld on a development machine...

There are other, dirtier methods, but using a utility to transport the code is certainly the best way.

Or have a look at BackTuit from ekin Systems.

Very sweet, simple to use, XML based, much broader functionality than
just remote development. Save and capture objects, versions, udc
setups, data sets, etc. Infinite rollback capabilities without
configuring multiple save locations.

Re: RE: Store and Forward functionality

Brent,

There are many tools to do this sort of stuff, like:

erpTRANSPORTER (shareware?):
===================================
http://spla.sh/transporter.htm
- copy Objects between systems, backup / restore Objects, Versioning - in fact, it's very similar in both approach and functionality to the tool you are advertising, except that it does not need as much configuring.

or

OWExport (freeware):
===================================
http://www.jdelist.com/ubb/showflat...52977&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=#Post52977
- Document Objects by exporting the code in text, which can then be used to compare different versions of the Objects.

Not even counting the commercial packages like ViceVersa or Boomerang.

Plus, of course, anything can be done manually - with enough time and knowledge.

Unfortunately, no simple VB-written app with direct ODBC access to OneWorld and obscure configuration settings will ever be able to convert OW Object specs XE -> ERP9 and back...
