Hi All,


I recently join the support team. apparently there are no documents available. 

we have a TBO installed in our docbase. we want to change some functions there basically wanted to change doSave.

actually we can remove it but we are not sure the full functionality of the TBO.

is there any way to get the code or class file for that installed TBO.

can you please guide how to make changes in existing TBO and install it back in repository

Thanks in advance!

BR

    You'll need the source code for the TBO to make changes.

    Search the servers you have access to for Composer.  This is the Documentum IDE that is used to generate TBO.  Once you find Composer folder, look for workspace folder on that machine.  This is where Composer creates Documentum projects that contains the source code.

    Thank you for the prompt reply.

    actually that is what i was trying to say ... we do not have the source code now.

    The below approach i am planning to do, need your confirmation if that is fine -

    i went to the particular TBO , there are two jars as shown -

    get the class file from there and convert it into code. make the changes.

    delete the current TBO and deploy the new one.

    Remember, when decompiling the class file, you may not be able to properly recompile it. You may end up re-writing it. but, at least it will give you a good understanding of what the TBO is doing.

    This isnt the user project workspace, this is the default Composer install.  Try launching Compoeser; it should have the last workspace location set by default.

    - export the jar file for your TBO (ipcdmsdatesend).

    - unzip it, you should get the package and the class files.

    - do a full search on your class file, with java extension. i.e. if your class file name is IpcDmsDateSend.class, then search for IpcDmsDateSend.java.

    - on unix use this.

         find / -name "IpcDmsDateSend.java"

    -on Windows use this. Go to C:\ root folder (or D:\ drive)

         dir IpcDmsDateSend.java /b /s /a

    the workspace may (or may not) be on the content server.
