Hi All,
Is there any options to copy a rule from user libraries across different users in Objectstar.

Main,

Go to ER option, it will list all the rule available in the library, select the rule which you want to copy, then use the line command 'C' copy in front the the rule, latter it prompts for a DEstination Library.

Vishwa,
But it is possible to copy rules or tables from other user ids(Created by other users).
Actually,i thought of copying the table definition of another user and its not allowing..... Is there any grant access releted things there??

Manikandan,

From your questions I notice that you are indeed very new to ObjectStar. Since this programming environment is very different from many other ones (at least the ones I know: COBOL on mainframes, java, .NET on other platforms), I suggest that you get yourself some course-material from TIBCO (the current 'owner' of ObjectStar).

ObjectStar is a programming environment that is great for 'opening up' the mainframe to the non-mainframe world. Even end-user-applications can be created in it quite easily. However, it has some features that make it easy to make a mess of things (especially when you deploy stuff in a production environment). This may lead to systems that are very hard to maintain.

However, you can do 'magical' things if you use it right. For example, the use of an application framework (which you will have to design and create yourself if it is not yet present in the environment you are using) will substantially decrease development-time for new applications and maintenance in future. I should say that it is quite a threshold to take for a newcomer in the ObjectStar world.

So I advise you: try and convince your (project-)manager to let you have a proper education in ObjectStar!. It will pay off!

I have some material, but only in hard-copy (not electronically) and it is mainly Intellectual Property of a client of mine (alas...)

Thanks Harald.... I have a training material and im jus trying to master it...... Can you suggest me some more training materials?????

Manikandan,

The material I have is pretty old and very dedicated to the client. I tried to find some stuff that may be of interest to you (or anyone new to ObjectStar), but it would simply take to much effort to 'convert' it to something generic enough for publication and I do not have the time available for that, sorry.

Maybe an expert near you can help you out with that (implementations are usually very client-dedicated).

That is all that I can do for you, unfortunately.

Dear All,

My client needs to convert all the objectstar modules to CICS IDMS or PL1 IDMS . Do any one suggest some tools or any procedures to achieve this

Thanks in Advance

After nine years in the forum you should know not to tag onto someone elses topic especially as a) you are not relating to the topic, b) the topic is "dead" and c) you should not multipost in dfferent sections of the forum.

Dear Nic Clouston,

My Apologize for the issue. I was expecting a help for a rare technology.
So I thought by replying to this forum it will reach the experts directly.
I was hoping seniors like you guide the people like me rather than giving a discouraging reply.

Any how thanks for correcting me.

Regards
Karthik.M
