When using PeopleSoft project definitions for Stat migrations, project and audit flag changes made outside of Stat will not be reflected in your migration, unless the project definition syncing functionality is used.
If you used the Project Read wizard to add objects to your CSR and selected the option, make the selected proj. the CSR's managed proj., you can quickly keep the project definition synchronized between App Designer and your CSR. This way, whenever the project definition is changed in App Designer (either by adding objects, removing objects, or modifying object properties in the project such as delete vs. copy flag), you can update the object list in your CSR to reflect these changes.
After adding the objects to your CSR with the Project Read wizard, the project name appears in a drop down list next to the Sync button, which replaces the Read Project button.
When you click Sync, Stat obtains the project definition from the development database as defined in the CSR's migration path and updates the CSR's object list in the following ways:
1. If the project contains an object that is not in the CSR's object list, the object will be added to the CSR.
2. If the CSR contains an App Designer object that is not part of the project definition, you are prompted to remove this object from the CSR's object list. Note that this does not apply to file objects, data objects or Non-App Designer objects. Also, objects are removed only if you have the security right to remove objects from a CSR.
3. If the copy and upgrade properties of an object are different from the properties in the CSR, the object properties in the CSR are updated (same as selecting the Overwrite properties of existing objects checkbox in the Read Project Wizard).
4. If the project definition is not associated with the CSR, it will be added to the CSR.
If Stat cannot find the project in the development environment when you click Sync, an error message is displayed. Also, if you want to run the Read Project Wizard again after synchronizing a project in a CSR, delete the name of the project in the Project Name field. This switches the Sync button back to Project Read. If you have multiple projects associated with a CSR, the name of each project appears in the Project Name field dropdown list. Select the one you want to synchronize.
The "syncing" functionality is only available in Stat 5.2.0 and later releases.
