XOG out Subpage of project (Views -> Project Properties)

[matej256]

Hi All,

 

May I ask how can I XOG out Subpage from project object?

I've only found view read file (property_view_read.xml) where views can be read but unfortunately couldn't get any results from project object... \

Tried just this because couldn't find also ID for Project Properties view...  Many thanks

  <ViewQuery> 

    <Filter name="object_code" criteria="EQUALS">project</Filter> 

  </ViewQuery>

 

should get you all the views on PROJECT object.

 

I don't think you could ever get a single subpage (since they are really just part of the layout-edit view), but you should be able to read a single view by providing the correct "code" I think

 

  <ViewQuery> 

    <Filter name="code" criteria="EQUALS">projectGeneral</Filter> 

  </ViewQuery>

Hi Dave,

 

Hmmm, I don't know why but both your options "crashed" for me due to expired time of session I'd say. It's still loading and after some minutes it didn't post any results (I'm "still" using xog.client, because Xog through command prompt is not working for me for some time...)

Especially your second tip (just select General subpage) should post XML output very quickly, but it didn't happen.

To be honest, I've only ever used XOG to read/write views belonging to custom objects, never any of the stock objects - but that 'syntax' is what I use for custom views.

 

(I'm a bit scared of affecting stock objects heavily thru XOG to be honest! )

I understand Dave

 

We have some custom Subpages on project object and I've just developed another 4 which is a "huge clicking session" when you want to deploy it from DEV to TEST env. so wanted to create some automation there....

I was successful with new processes, lookups and new project attributes but got stuck with Subpages... so currently creating it manually...

Assuming a high enough version of Clarity, can you create a Content Package and only add the View: projectGeneral to it?

 

 

When the content package has been created, you should be able to 'download' it as a zipped XOG output file and see if it contains your subpages inside it for importing to your other environment.

Hi Nick,

 

Yes I know this functionality in 14.x versions, but unfortunately we are still on 13.3, so this would not help me

Just thinking why CA didn't provide such a functionality much earlier, because I assume this (deploying new changes/CRs) are doing everyone since Clarity exists ... But we can't influence it of course, only just vote for some fine ideas there...

P.S. In the meantime I've created subpages manually

Hi nick_darlington,

 

If we can back to this topic after more than year - we have successfully upgraded to 15.3 where Content packages are available. I've just created some custom Subpages with a lot of attributes. Now when would like to create a content pack, I still see just a General subpage of project:

 

 

Is that mean that custom Subpages cannot be extracted ata ll from Clarity? 

Those are they:

 

Thanks,

Matej

Hi all, 

 

Could you please let me know if it's possible to add custom Subpages to content packages? 

 

Thanks, 

Matej

Not that I could find - this was on 15.2 where the views available are:

Project Create::projectCreate
Project List::projmgr.projectList
etc

Not the subpages like Project Settings.

I think that any subpages are just part of the 'edit' view - so they wouldn't have their own separate section in the view XML, but they would be within the section for the <update> part of the property view.

Simple way to check though ; XOG out an object (or just its views) with custom subpages and have a look at the XML!
