Hi

Is there a way to find out more information on a fex file that was deleted/moved by mistake? Is it possible to find out "who" deleted the fex, when, etc? Thanks

There is no method to track a deleted fex in an Application Folder. Perhaps there is some operation system command. If the fex was in MRE, you might have better luck. In my experience, the fex remains in the domain folder, flagged as deleted in the domain's html page.

Luiz,
I hope you're able to recover your missing FEXs using Francis or someone else's hints. In running across your post, it reminded me of a related process that I implemented during my recent upgrade cycle. I thought I'd share with everyone in case they wanted to implement some precautions into their environment.

I created a Windows batch file that zips (using Winzip Command Line edition) identified directories and places on a netshare.

backup.bat

  
@ECHO OFF
wzzip -ex -P -r -a indiv_code_backup.zip @backup_dir_list.lst 1>NUL

REM When %date% is used in a batch file it displays the date in the following format: 
REM Sun 09/02/2007 this command breaks this date into the tokens: 
REM "Sun" (%%d), "09" (%%e), "02" (%%f), and "2007" (%%g).

REM In this example using the date command, hope.txt would be renamed to 09-02-2007.txt
REM for /f "tokens=1-5 delims=/ " %%d in ("%date%") do rename "hope.txt" %%e-%%f-%%g.txt

for /f "tokens=1-5 delims=/ " %%d in ("%date%") do move /Y "indiv_code_backup.zip" \\netshare\indiv_backups\indiv_code_backup-%%g%%e%%f.zip

backup_dir_list.lst

 
; Shared Code
C:\ibi\apps\Standards\*

C:\ibi\apps\access\*
C:\ibi\apps\anesthesia\*
C:\ibi\apps\baseapp\*
C:\ibi\apps\datamgmt\*
C:\ibi\apps\library\*

The 2 files are moved to the WebFocus server in a 'scripts' directory and scheduled via Window's Scheduled Tasks to run nightly at 1:30a. Something like this would be equally as easy with cron and gzip in linux/unix. Hope this helps someone!

Thanks ABT. I'll definitely look into that.
