Copied adexl view have a reference to original view's history paths in data.sdb

Hello all,

Right now I investigate about a curious thing that happens when an user copied an adexl view.

I have two projects, which belong to two different business units of my company. Unfortunately, the people who setup the projects are already on Christmas holiday.

In the first project, when I make a copy of an adexl view, history items are still in the view, but they loose the reference to the directory with the simulation results.

This mean that, inside the data.sdb file, fields like resultsname, simresults psfdir, ... are empty: <resultsname></resultsname><simresults></simresults>. This behaviour is wanted.

In the second project, these fields are kept identical to the ones belonging to the original view. This is annoying because when one of our designer tries to delete a history item, the results of the original view are also affected.

Is there an environment variable which controls this behaviour? Or is is a callback which patches the new data.sdb? Both projects run ICADV 12.30.719

Any help is appreciated.

Best regards,

Patrik

Hi Patrik,

when you copy, make sure you enable the "Update" "Copies only" field near the bottom of the form, that will update the history references in the maestro.sdb to the new
cell.

Kind regards,

Marc

Mmm... do you mean "Update Instances"? Selecting "Of new copies only" does not help. Those fields are still filled.
Plus, it is an adexl view, not a maestro one

I had a similar case about that with an Assembler maestro view where this solved the issue. I've not done much ADE-XL lately, migrate it? ;)
I'll need to create me a small test example to look into that.

I tried also with maestro, but "Update Instances" seems to have no impact. Original results' path is still there. Maybe the other project has some trigger on the "view copy" operation.

Do you know how to query such triggers?
