Update schema but no new field / table object Roundtable
Problem:
========
Update schema is not yielding a new Field or File/Table object that
has been added.
Explanation:
============
The Update Schema process only modifies the database with objects
that are ultimately connected to a database. When new objects are
created they are not always automatically connected to a database.
Examples:
=========
A PFIELD object 'area' is created from Object Selection screen, or
Modules view. Creating an object then does not automatically assign
the object to a table object. A PFILE object 'location' is created and 2
fields and 1 index are added to the table. These objects are not
assigned to the PROGRESS database automatically.
Solution:
=========
Select the new object (File or Field) that is not being found during
Update Schema process. Select the WHERE view for that object. If
the where view for that object yields nothing that object needs to be
assigned to a parent object.
To assign a schema object to the parent object:
1. Select the parent object desired (FILE or DBASE).
2. Check out the object.
3. View the list of children assigned to that object (Expand in GUI,
Select in Character).
4. Add or Assign the existing into the list of children.
5. Update schema should work correctly.
