Need to transfer Annotations along with Data via System Link

Hi,

I have system link set up in my application. This transfers data from one version to the other version.
But along with data, I want to transfer user Annotations also (commentary). I have selected 'Include Annotations' under ' Additional Options window of the Administration Link-Element dialog box'.
But after this also, the annotations are not being copied from one version to other.

Could anyone please help me.

Thanks in advance,
Anand

Hi Anand,

I think there's a bit of confusion here - if you have a system link, you need to configure it in Production->System Links and then edit the link.  Changing Admin Link Element options will only affect the Admin Link Element you're changing it for.

Do you see different behaviour when using an Administration Link or a System Link to achieve the same thing?

Cheers,
Alexis

Hi Alexis,

Actually I want to say that, when you create a system link, I have selected 'Include Annotations' check box.

I hope this has cleared the confusion.

Actually, I tried the same using Admin Link also. But neither Admin Link nor System Link, populating Annotations.
Also, this behaviour is for the Columns which have sub-totals (Annotations for Calculated items). Annotations are being copied for the Columns in which we can 'WRITE' .

I hope you got the clear picture now .

Thanks,
Anand
