Recompile all objects

davmac1

I am trying to recompile all objects in a highly customized 4.02 database that was converted from 3.6 to catch fields the conversion team missed.
I am finding that it is not catching errors on fields no longer defined in tables.
The impression I get is if the source has not been modified, it is not really compiling the object.
Is there a way to force a mass recompile?
When I did it, I received a message that 70 objects had errors, but only 5 were not compiled.

how create a new form based on the virtual table called field.

Filter on 50000..99999 range

copy it to excel,

Do the same in the old db and copy it to excel and compare them?

also when you do a mas compile and some objects error out.
The object will still be in compiled state.

You need to click on view->Marked only.

This will show you marked objects that did not compile.

Best solution is to get a new Conversion team

even if he gets a new team, well usually it's one guy that is doing the upgrade, he still will need to test it. So that nothing gets missed.

or use the Data Migration Tool which analyzes the difference between the old and new database. Although it's normal usage is to create automatic update code upfront, so one never runs into situations like this during an update

Thanks for your tips.
The customer has already paid for the conversion.
I am trying to talk the dealer out of using this conversion team again.
