ADM Problem opening a file in AppBuilder

Posted by James Palmer on 26-Sep-2016 06:23

Hoping someone might be able to help.

I'm trying to open an ADM browse. When I try and open it I get the following:

The associated SmartDataObject xxx used by this file yyy could not be instantiated. Make sure that the SmartDataObject file exists.

That's fine, except I have the file xxx and its dependencies in the propath. I can open xxx ok and it compiles. Any thoughts on what I'm missing?

Look at the properties for the object in the browse.  you may need to change the file name / path.

Hi James,

Can the SDO be compiled without error?  Is there a path listed in the error?  If I remember correctly the path in the error is the exact path string that is stored in either the window it resides on or the visual object that depends upon it (can't remember which).

That should give you a clue about why the problem is happening.

Yes the SDO compiles ok without error. The paths all make sense as well.

Brian, I can't open the screen in AppBuilder so it's hard to see the properties. Where can I find them in the code in the procedure editor?

James,
 
I’m not sure.  Can you send me the .w file for the object that is trying to reference the SDO?  You can email it to me at maher@progress.com if you don’t want to post it publicly.
