HI all

I am new to BAAN IV and i am in learning stage so i wants

to know how to copy a session with it's all components as forms,reports,program script/library in the same package VRC with new names only so that it could not harm the original session in anyway

and so i can check the processing of the session by changing some code

Regards

Hi, welcome to the Baan world. I'm not sure about Baan IV, but in BaanV you simply mark the session, hit the 'duplicate' button to duplicate the session. The system will then ask you if you want to copy the Forms as well. In case of report session, the system will offer to copy reports as well. Note: if you choose not to duplicate forms/reports, the old ones will be linked to the new session.

For the program script: if you want to use the existing script you don't do anything; the script will be linked to the session. If you want to duplicate that one as well, you simply duplicate the script, and in 'sessions' you assign the new script to the session.

Hope this helps you.

Kind regards,

En.

In Baan4 just hit the copy button and rename it to a new session ;) .Well
Umesh i guess you are into the initial stages of implementation. So i would
suggest its a good practice to create a new dev. env. to learn Baan.

Hi Umesh,
Create the new PVRC's derived from the appr. VRC's.Maintain the
paths for the compnents of the newly created PVRC.
Create a new package combination and include the new PVRC's in the
package combination.
Rebuild the DD.
Create a new company and attach it to the package comb.
Convert to runtime. Create the tables for the new company. You can
also import data from any of the existing companies.
Login into your new company and enjoy exploring Baan.

For the Baan VRC Structure I think this would be a good thread:

If you start with developing for my opinion it is very important to understand the VRC structure of Baan.

hi maverick4u

thanks for your detailed solution to try BAAN customations but all the terms
you have mentioned are very new to me. and do not have any standard procedure
i to do that step by step, and the current custiomation required by my user is to add
one field from table to present report so i have adopted the simple method to copy the
session with new name so.

so thanks, and please forward me some notes if you have in this regard
