Changing Base Object

[kmcdonald]

Can I change an Application to a Technology within the app.  We have Hopex V1R2 CP03.

Thanks,

Kate

Thank you Jerome.  I think that I will just have to do the data entry.  There is not a whole lot of them but it is Friday and I was looking for some streamlined way of switching metaclasses.

Hello Kate

There is not generic feature to change the type (Metaclass) of an object to another type

Ex: change an application object (application Metaclass) to a technology object (technology metaclass)

You  need to

• manually create the object for the target metaclass
• manually transfer useful properties (name, comment...) or links
• manually delete the object for the source metaclass

It you identify a very repetitive action, you can consider to develop a specific tool with API script

This need to be designed, developped an tested specifically
