Track attribute changes with a TBO

I want to include functionality in a TBO to track all attribute changes made to the persistent object before it's saved to the repository to be able to act upon what has been changed. My ambition was to override all methods that can modify attribute values but I soon realized that many of the attribute changing methods in DfTypedObject were finalized - all except for string attributes. Is there an explanation why these have been finalized?

Our user base uses several different clients with a shared repository so the best way to implement such a shared function/rule was a TBO. Is there an another client-independent solution that might be able to track attribute changes?

Thanks,

Mikael

Excellent! I was not aware there is a getUncachedObject method in DFC.

You don't need to know whether or not there is such method, you only need to know if Andrey has posted about it

I am not sure on your exact requirement.

Enabling audittrail on the object type provides the details of the attribute modifications as well. The repeating attributes "attribute_list" and "attribute_list_old" on dm_audittrail provides the changes on the metadata occured for the specific object.


select attribute_list, attribute_list_old, event_name from dm_audittrail
where audited_obj_id = '<r_object_id>'
order by time_stamp

The above query returns the audited events on the specific object and the metadata changes occurred.
