Enable retrieval of solutions from the database (as V7)

Paul_York

In V7  processes could  be retrieved by the designer.  This was so so useful in the event that your source file was corrupted you always had access to what had been deployed to the engine.

 

I've now suffered my first data loss within a solution and I can see no way of retrieving the running version from the database so I'm forced to rebuild

 

I can't say how many times we used to use the retrieve procedure as it was so many, so this is a sad ommission and I'm really hoping it will be available once again in SR3 or 9.1

 

Thanks,

 

Paul.

Wow, I haven't had that much opportunity to work with V9 and I'd have liked.  I hadn't realized this was missing.  Perhaps they did this because of the new file system / solution approach, but I do see this is lacking.

 

It was good to be able to pull production code when something crashed while developing so that the same code starting point exists.  (This is particularly useful when working on changed that they change their mind on completely and we need to revert.)

 

Guess, until you can retrieve from the database again, good source control / file system storage will be key.
