In Quest® Stat®, file templates are associated with particular file types. They help standardize development by defining in a reusable format the basic characteristics and structure of new file objects. This way, when you need to create a file object of a particular type, you can use an associated template as a starting point. This saves time and helps enforce adherence to development standards.
When new Oracle® file objects are created from an existing object, Stat remembers the new objects association with the source object. When the source object is identified during a patch impact analysis, Stat indicates the source object was used to create a new object. This alerts you that a patch may impact this custom object.

Click New Object. |
3 |
(Optional) In the Assigned To field select a different developer. |
4 |
In the Source field, do one of the following: |
• |
Select Existing Object if you want to base the new file object on an existing object |
• |
Select Template if you want to base the new file object on a template |
5 |
(Optional) In the File Type field select a different file type. |
• |
If basing the new file object on a template and your system administrator has defined more than one template for the selected file type, select the file template you want to use in the Template field. Then select the language and product you want to associate with the object in the New object Language and Product fields. |
• |
If basing the new file object on an existing object, select the active environment in which the object resides in the Environment field. At this point, if the object you are basing the new object on is a predefined (i.e. non-custom) Oracle file type, Stat prompts you to select the product and language the existing object is associated with. Select the product and language and click Fetch. Stat queries the environment and retrieves all the objects of the selected type, product, and language. Select the object you want and, if applicable, then select the language and product you want to associate with the new object in the New object Language and Product fields.] |
IMPORTANT: If the Oracle Agent is not running when you click Fetch, Stat is unable to process the request and displays a warning message. When this is the case, re-start the agent and click Fetch again. Also, if you are basing the new object on an existing, custom Oracle file type object, you are not prompted to specify a product or language for either the existing object or the new object. After you select an environment, Stat queries that environment and retrieves all the objects of the custom file type you selected. |
7 |
In the New Object Name field, enter a name for the new object. |
8 |
Click Create. |
9 |
Click Yes for each instance of the object that you want to add to the CSR. Click No for each instance of the object that you do not want to add. |
Stat adds each instance of the new object that you selected to the CSR. At this point, the file object exists only in the working directory of the assigned developer but is not yet archived. For more information on archiving, see Creating Archive Sets (Oracle Applications) .
You can open file objects directly from Quest® Stat® for editing purposes. Stat opens the object in whichever program your operating system uses to open files of that type.
It is important to remember that when you edit an object, you are editing only the version of the object that exists in the particular environment you selected. The same object may exist in other environments, and these versions are not affected by any changes you make to the edited version. Because you can edit only one version of the object at a time, the changes you make to the object in one environment do not affect the version in the other environment. If you want all your environments to contain the same version of an object, you have to migrate that object to each environment. For more information on migrating, see Documenting Migrations and Process Requests (Oracle Applications) .
After adding objects to a CSR, you can use the Quest® Stat® object comparison tools to compare the definition of two objects or two versions of the same object. The object comparison tools can be used to compare objects in the following ways:
TIP: You can also run the object comparison tools from the Object Management menu. When run from this location, you can compare objects contained in any non-merged, active Oracle Apps patch stored in the Stat Repository. This feature supports any Oracle® Apps object type defined in the Object Type Maintenance table, except setup object types, which cannot be compared from within patches. For more information, see Object Tools and Wizards . |
The Archive Sets tab displays information pertaining to object development within Oracle® Applications environments. From here, you can view information regarding all the environments in a migration path as well as create and migrate object archives. For more information, see Creating Archive Sets (Oracle Applications) and Documenting Migrations and Process Requests (Oracle Applications) .
The buttons located on the top of the tap page, Environment Info and Archive Sets, control what type of information you see in the right section of the tab. When you click Environment Info, the window displays object information. When you click Archive Sets, the window displays object archive information.
