Hola mis amigos.....

I want to know how can I check if a given object is corresponding to the source with the same name.

This is because for accessing SAP, and by security reasons, people from versioning, when I have to make a cutover into production environment, must enter the Designer and modify the access to SAP: IP address, user, password, etc.. Then, they have to compile the job.

How can I discover itf they forget compiling ?

Thanks in advance.

I would do a recompile all

If you're still in development phase I would seriously consider putting your arguments in e.g. a sequential file and read the file in via a BASIC job passing the IP address, ... as an argument. There is ever going to be a time when the server needs to get a new IP address... and if you then hardcoded your IP address...

It may be a little bit more work upfront... but it will save you tons of hours later on.

Surely all these variable pieces of information can be set up as job parameters? Then there is no need for any opening of the job design; you can have the job read-only in production (always recommended).

Change the default parameter values - if desired - using Director.

(I tend to recommend to clients that default connectivity parameters in a production environment, other than for the main controller, should not work. This offers maximum security, requiring - at the very least - that anyone "fiddling" be able to enter a valid password.)
