    It seems to be already answered above. Nikolaos explained how to create a project with such objects and how to export it.

    Do you have any problem with it? If so, wouldn't it be more useful to explain the problem than asking again for the same thing?

    Yes, the project is a collection of objects, such as classes, forms, tables. It can't contain partial objects such as table fields.

    But, as I wrote, in the export dialog of the project, you can click the "Application object layer" to export only the USR layer elements.

    Did you also notice my question about the code upgrade tool? I'm interested in your comments regarding it.

    Hi Nikolaos,

    I have created a compare project but it was listing existing fields too . I just want to export only customized fields or methods or delete actions under tables.

    Thanks,

    When you create the compare project, you can export it by right click -> Export. In the export dialog, click the "Application object layer" to export only the USR layer elements.

    I assume you have checked the code upgrade tool in LCS. Was there some info missing from the resulting reports? Knowing what exact info you need could help us pinpoint you a solution.

    Hi Nikolaos,

    Thanks for you reply on this.

    I would like show what AOT objects are customized in USR layer. I know we can compare between layers but how can i export that difference output to xpo or csv file. And more over delete actions under table are not getting listed which are customized.

    Kindly help to get out this problem

    Thanks,

    Phani

    I think you will get this info directly from the upgrade analysis report that LCS code upgrade tool creates for you.

    If you don't want to use this tool that exists for the very purpose of analyzing your code before upgrade, then please consider following approach.

    A quick - even though manual - process could be creating a project from model (Tools - Model management - Create project from model).

    Then go through all Microsoft forms on this project. Let's imagine you have customized 20 forms in the standard system.

    Then compare those 20 forms with the compare tool (USR vs SYP/SYS) and check if there are changes on data source level.

    Of course if you have customized hundreds of forms this is not feasible. But otherwise it should take 5-30 minutes to get the list. Since it's a one time requirement for this upgrade project, I think this kind of manual approach could be the cheapest solution.

    Why don't you follow the standard upgrade process? You seem to be making everything much more complicated for yourself.
