I haven't seen schemaID's in definitions as well..
And ever since the dawn of xml formats of the definition files, personally,
I have become a huge fan of them simply because of how easy it is to
manipulate the contents of these definitions as they are human readable.. Go
XML defs!!!! Yayyy!!
Take an XML definition export, mend the form name, and check what you get
out of it.
You may even able to easily mend the form text headers if there are any
directly on this xml..

Hi,
Are you sure you are seeing the SchemaId in the definition file? I have
never seen that.
There should be no problem renaming the form name and reimporting.
I have done an almost identical thing where I used normal DEF-files as
templates, where the database-name of the template-fields represented the
"datatypes" of my input data.
FieldName;DataType
...

Yes - I could just go in and save as...
However -- this is a small part of a larger project….
Autogenerate Remedy forms form Lotus Notes forms - :)
1) Auto create table
2) Auto migrate data
3) Auto delete Notes table
4) Party!!!
My ***guess*** is that the index references are "unused" (not sure about
that) -- but -- if I were to take this def to a new system -- which
already
had a T189/I189 -- I would imagine this definition would not overwrite
those indexes… -- so it is probably safe….
I was wondering if anybody KNEW -- that this was a bad idea.
Here is the fundamental problem -- when I export a def of a form -- I get
12500 lines…
(IMHO - unusable)
Yeah -- probably has 20 fields on it -- but the xml is so crazy it takes
12500 lines to describe…
So -- WHAT IF I …
created something like this:
my_sample_file.txt
table "MySample Table"
field "RequestID", 1
field "Submitter", 2
…
field "My unique field", 0 # 0 is autoassigen
field "MY unique field2", 0
index ["My unique field","My unique field2"], unique
etc….
Then -- when your "run it" -- it outputs a HORIFICALLYLARGE XML file --
that would import nicely.
**** AND EVEN NICER ….
you can get the reverse… a table - to a nice definition -- so you can
EASILY FIND -- ???
(I know - many pieces behind the scenes)
OK - an example:
table "MySample Table2"
inherits_from "MySample Table"
field "My unique field3", 0
index ["My unique field","My unique field3"], unique

Can you not just select the form and then go to FileàSave As? Assuming
you’re in Developer Studio. Similar functionality exists in the old

tool.****

I was thinking of making a similar form to an existing form. ****
** **
I thought I would export it -- modify the name of the form in the export
and then reimport.****
** **
** **
So -- I went poking through the xml definition of the file… ****
** **
The only "gotcha" I see is that the xml file describes the indexes by
index name -- stuff like i189 …. (as in -- table 189 therefore index
189)*
***

** **
So -- would this be a bad idea -- rename the form in the xml and then
reimport?****
** **
(My end goal is to have 2 similar forms)****
