While the "WHENCE [fexname] FOCEXEC" command works for fexes in the application folders, what's the command to show fexes in the CONTENTS folders?

EX: FINANCE.fex amd MYFEX.fex
FINANCE fex resides in the ibisamp app folder, so "WHENCE FINANCE FOCEXEC" returns "u/ibi/apps/ibisamp/finance.fex"
MYFEX fex resides in the mystuff content folder, so "WHENCE MYFEX FOCEXEC" returns "(FOC1892) FILE NOT FOUND : MYFEX FOCEXEC"

BTW: Thanks, I like the &IBIAPP_app
variable...

Thanks, Doug

Hi

For repository (content) files I think you have 2 options:

1. use the built-in search functionality within the Content tree

2. Create a report on the WF repository tables

WHENCE is a server based command which will locate only master files, access files and focexecs within the APP PATH

Thanks WF_IL, I think that the WHENCE command should have, at least, an option to search in app or contents folders. I'm just saying...

Shalom, Doug

Hi Doug,

Perhaps you should ask for a NFR for the whence command.

thanks Waz, I'll put this on my list...

WHENCE command originated from unix scripting world. files in server are physical files whereas files in content folder are database records. So search option in content tree is your best bet. I use search in content tree. Though you create your own report on repository database
