Saving an OMW object in zip [xml] format


This feature is available from 812/896 and above
Add the following section/setting in the JDE.ini file of FAT client.
[METADATA]
OMWZIP=1
Saving an object in zip format
Open OMW application
Highlight the required object and click Save.
Click OK. This saves the XML formatted specs in the spec folder.
Ex: Suppose you saved P01012 application, you will notice P01012.zip in the spec folder.
Restoring the XML formatted specs
Open OMW
Highlight the desired object [If you are trying to restore a non – existent object, just create a dummy object by that name] and click restore.
Press OK

Usage:

  • You might have developed an application in one FAT client and want to transfer it to a different FAT machine
  • Sending the customised specs to someone else for troubleshooting
