What's New: BMC Remedy Action Request System 7.5.00: http://documents.bmc.com/supportu/documents/84/15/98415/98415.pdf The AR System server provides the following version control functions: [...] Object modification log - With this feature enabled, the AR System server automatically logs every change to an object and, optionally, exports the objects. Users can view the log entries in the AR Server Version Control: Object Modification Log form and restore a saved version of an object from the .def file attached to a log entry. For more information, see the Form and Application Objects Guide. -David J. Easter Manager of Product Management, Remedy Platform BMC Software, Inc.

If you believe it does, please tell me how I revert a form to its state at any point in time since AR System was installed, and no, taking hourly backups of my database isn't a useful step forward. I don't feel the 4/5/6GL discussion is relevant to my post (and it's not something I really recognise now-a-days). I'm talking about how to improve the platform, not the way in which it's used. And many problems in IT are not simply solved by some sticky tape, or a new cache, but a serious change in thinking. That's evident in MId Tier 6.3, and if the concept was pushed back to the AR System server level, the entire platform would benefit. I appreciate change is never easy, but as other posters have pointed out, there's a lot of attraction to having an easy to use platform that can also happily compete with other platforms. I've self-taught myself to write in a number of languages (yet I speak just one), and I don't see why AR System developers should be placed into a box and told they can only use the admin tool with limited functionality, no version control or useful development tools, or find a Java compiler and use another product. There's a lot of middle ground between those two poles.
