Solutions are normaly installed in B50U_c_stnd. Let's say we have a cust vrc B50C_c_cust.

Is there any possibility to to check, if there are newer software components in the B50U_c_stnd level (caused trough solutions or SP's) than in the customization VRC?

Thanks

Doesn't ttadv6450m000 (Compare Package VRCs) do the trick?
Perhaps you have to create temporary PC which only contains the standard plus the update level.

I think there is the problem, that everything in the cust vrc IS DIFFERENT from the standard. But I think I need only records if a object/source is "touched" by a solution after this component is copied to the cust vrc.

Correct me, if I'm wrong

Hi Spartacus,

I think I understand your intention now.
Let's assume you have the following derivation structure:

B40 c4
B40U c4 stnd
B40C c4 cust

and you have the program tdsls0140s000 which resides in
B40 c4 and in B40C c4 cust.

If now a solution would install a modified version, this would go to B40U c4 stnd and as a result your customized version
(from B40C c4 cust) would still be used.

So what you are looking for would be a report that informs you about the existence of a modified object in cust that "blocks" the patch from being used.

Did I get you right so far?

What I would do is some scripting that compares the contents of the $BSE/application directories (in case of SP or many solutions to be installed) OR
keep track with every solution installed (the components should be listed) and check whether customized versions exist for the objects delivered.

I would go with the script, way faster than any check thru Baan.

To speed up things and not check all objects (unless you have few...), after a patch installation you would
- run a print solution history for that day/date (by components) into a file and
- then have a script go thru the components of that report only and check if you have a similar one on your customer layer and report that a new component was installed and needs update in the customization.

Hi norwim,

yes, now you understand my intention right!!

norwim, victor:

I agree with you both.
On the first place I would be sure that there is no Baan standard, which solves the problem.
Now, with your help I think I can we sure ;-). Based on that, I think I can develop something, I think it should be based on the solution hístory.

Shouldn't it be possible to use the "Component Merge Tool", for such a Problem?
