I haven’t tried it myself, but I would expect this to fail. Object IDs are managed by the kernel and cannot be assigned manually. Well, maybe you can if you mess around with XPO files and import with object ID. But generally it’s off limits.

hi,

is it possible to set the object id?

Using treenode AOTsetProperty(#PropertyId,..) returns an error.

thx

Hi Björn,

i have tried to change the Id of a LicenseCode with this code:

UtilIdElements utilId;
TreeNode node;

#Properties
;
select forupdate utilId where utilId.utilLevel == UtilEntryLevel::vap && utilid.recordType == UtilElementType::LicenseCode && utilid.id == 30001
{

node = xUtilIdElements::getNode(utilId);

node.AOTsetProperty(#PropertyId,50999);
node.AOTsave();

node.treeNodeRelease();
}
info(“Ende”);

in the line node.AOTsetProperty(#PropertyId,50999); i get a Stack-Trace
Meldung (18:37:01)
Stack-Trace: Die Eigenschaft wurde nicht gefunden. (the property could not be found)

(C)\Classes\TreeNode\AOTsetProperty
(C)\Jobs\Test – line 15

Do you have any idea why it doesn’t work?

Björn,

Thanks for the great article. Nice and concise.

In my case, I also used the SqlDataDictionary.tableSynchronize method to force the index change on the underlying database.

Since I was starting with a list of table names I also found the tablename2id function to be very handy.
