Get CUS layer changed properties of a table

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

I'm trying to save some documentation time by creating a script that generates technical documentation from AX. The idea is to generate a word document which describes all CUS layer changed objects (subtitles for fields, methods, properties, ...).

This works fine with the TreeNode traversal, except for the properties on table/class level.

I only seem to be able to get a list of all properties of the table, yet I am only interested in the not-default / user changed properties  (= the ones that are highlighted in bold in the properties window).

Here's a POC of the traversal job:

static void TstGetProperties(Args _args)
{
    TreeNode    table, tableCUP, tableSubCUP;
    
    TreeNodeIterator    tableIterator;
    TreeNodeTraverser   nodeTraverser;

    str         tableProp, tableCUPprop;
    
    #AOT
    ;

    
    table       = TreeNode::findNode(#TablesPath + "\\" + "CustTable");
    tableCUP    = table.getNodeInLayer(UtilEntryLevel::cus);
    
    nodeTraverser = new TreeNodeTraverser(tableCUP);
    table = nodeTraverser.next();
    
    while (table)
    {
        info(strFmt("%1, %2", nodeTraverser.infologPrefix(), nodeTraverser.currentNode().AOTgetProperties()));
        table = nodeTraverser.next();
    }
}

I would prefer to avoid reading XPO's from source control and 'scraping' those.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

thanks,

Gabriël

    If you get all properties when asking for CUS, can't you get properties for lower layers, compare values and ignore those that are identical?

    By the way, please separate tags with comma and don't prefix them with #. You created attached a single tag #Documentation #Layers, while you clearly means two tags Documentation and Layers.

    Yes, taking the difference in properties between the layers is wat i was after!

    Thanks, here's the code if anyone is interested:

        TreeNode            table, tableCUP, tableISV;

    List                tableISVPropList;
    ListIterator        listIterISV, listIterCUS;
    
    str                 tableCUPprop, tableISVProp;

    #AOT
    ;

        
    //Table path  -- Change the table string in this line of code
    table           = TreeNode::findNode(#TablesPath + "\\" + "CustTable");
    
    //Layer-specific tablenode
    tableCUP        = table.getNodeInLayer(UtilEntryLevel::cus);
    tableISV        = table.getNodeInLayer(UtilEntryLevel::isv);

    //Properties in String for that table
    tableCUPprop    = tableCUP.AOTgetProperties(false, false, false);
    tableISVProp    = tableISV.AOTgetProperties(false, false, false);
    
    //Populate a list (1 property per value)
    tableISVPropList    = strSplit(tableISVProp, "\n");
    listIterISV         = new ListIterator(tableISVPropList);
    
    //Iterate over the list and subtract each ISV value from the CUS properties
    while (listIterISV.more())
    {
        tableCUPprop = strReplace(tableCUPprop, listIterISV.value(), "");
        listIterISV.next();
    }
    
    //Show the remaining CUS properties
    info(strFmt("%1", tableCUPprop));
