We have noticed that the .aod file date modified gets changed when restarting the AOS's - after having modified label files.

Just another factor that might somehow have an influence Thanks again and will let you know James On Dec 17, 2009, at 7:44 PM, j...@strandbergs.dk wrote:James, Very strange. When I shut down our AOS'es (2 of them), I would afterwards delete the .aoi file and also the .udb file. Then, after restart of Ax in 2 tier mode the .aoi file gets rebuild, as you know. In my installations (live, test and dev) the .aod files are getting "re-dated"... I actually thought this was the normal behaviour, although it seems strange that a file has it's date changed just by reading it. /Jens > Sorry Jens but I tested and cannot get the aod file date or time to change > with an aoi rebuild > > Can you explain how you can get it to affect the aod file > > Thanks > James > > > > From: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:axapta-knowledge-vill...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of > j...@strandbergs.dk > Sent: 15 December 2009 18:53 > To: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com > Subject: Re: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] AOD modified date > > > > > > James, > > When you delete the .aoi file, this will be rebuilt - and all .aod files > will have a new date. > > /Jens > >> Our auditor requires to know when are the AOD files updated by AX. >> >> Is it only when a change is made in the corresponding layer in an AOT >> object >> or are there other situations? >> >> If an object exists in both VAR and USR, if it is modified in USR can >> the >> VAR aod file in anyway be affected? >> >> If aoi is rebuilt can this affect? >> If cross reference is updated can this affect? >> >> The reason is the VAR aod file has strange dates that cannot be >> explained >> (since we did not do any changes in the VAR layer since a certain date) >> and >> so the auditor wants to know the situations of how AX can modify it >> >> Is there any way we can filter or see if there is any object in the VAR >> layer that has a created or modified date after a certain date? >> >> >> >> Thanks >> >> James >> >> >> >> > > > >
