Title: Help - Contributor - Library Name
Post by: kyalvin_wee on 24 Jul 2007 04:50:56 AM
Hi, does anyone out there know where in does contributor store individual application settings in the db? The field im looking for is library name. I know where to find the application display name but not the library name and library id. Response would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think this is stored inside the model definition when and app is created.  It is therefore not possible to change it withing contributor.  (Altough - maybe a synchronise would work having changed the library name in Analyst - not sure of top of my head)

Hi there, thanks for the reply. I was just thinking that there must be somewhere that congos stores the library name and library number of the application. Tried to find the settings in the registry but couldn't find. Can it be in the application or pad_live schema? If it is which table would it be in. I suspect it would be in one of the blob xml configurations but I want to be sure.

I think it is in applicationstate in the application database.  This is stored in a propriatory format and cannot be edited.

Hi there I have the same suspicions but I haven't been unable to get anything out of it. It is in compressed xml format. Would you happen to know how to uncompress it?

I am currently doing an investigation with regards to a applicaton corruption. The application after the corruption had ended up pointing to the wrong library id and name. I need to find out how to corrupt an application to such a state without using a macro to upload a wrong development environment xml file. Have you encountered any of such experiences?

these are stored in datastores.
