Quickly Copy Sage ERP X3 Development Objects using Dictionary Copy to another Folder

By | March 24, 2014

There may be a scenario where you want to migrate your development from a folder to another. Its a time consuming process and many a times not a feasible one to migrate all X3 objects created during the development process.

No worries Sage ERP X3 has a very special feature to carry out the above requirement hassle free and quickly using the “Dictionary Copy” feature. The primary objective of this function is to copy Sage ERP X3 development objects from one folder to another in an organized and efficient manner. We can copy the tables, screens, data types, reports, etc.

The navigation for this function is: Development > Utilities > Dictionary > Copies > Dictionary

Let’s take a look on the useful and dynamic features available on the screen:

#1. We can enter the Source and Destination folder name.

#2. If Module fields are equal to Yes, the elements for the selected modules are also copied.

#3. Associated processes: Used to specify that the processes associated with the copied elements (screens, actions, objects, inquiries) are also copied. This flag also helps with the copy of the Crystal Reports reports associated with the dictionary elements for the reports.

Dictionary validation: Used to trigger the validation of the elements (tables, views, screens, windows, objects, inquiries, functions) in the destination folder after the copy. This validation is only possible if the current server associated with the folder is same as the server for the destination folder. If this is not the case, an error message will indicate this fact in the log file for the copy.

#4. One can view the data for the date entered in the field. All files created or modified later or equal to the date specified is viewable.

#5. If an activity code is entered here, only the elements marked with the activity code in question are copied.

In the end a log file is generated showing the operations carried while migration.
