Associating Objects from Other CSRs

You can use the Read CSR Wizard to add objects to your CSR that are associated with another CSR.

To run the Read CSR Wizard:
1
On the Objects tab, click Read CSR....
Stat opens the CSR Read Wizard.
2
Click the Lookup button.
Stat opens the Search CSR Engine, which locates specific CSRs in the database based on the selected search criteria, including CSR number, customer, open date, department, and tracking number. For more information on the Search CSR Engine, see Search Engines .
3
Locate the CSR you want in the Search CSR Engine. Then click OK.
Stat closes the Search CSR Engine and displays all the objects associated with the CSR in the bottom portion of the Read CSR Wizard.
4
Select the objects you want. Use the <Shift> and <Ctrl> keys to make multiple selections, or click Select All to select all the objects.
5
Click OK.
Stat adds the selected objects to your CSR. If the objects happened to be locked on the other CSR for the same environments specified in your CSR’s migration path, Stat reserves them on your CSR.
* 
NOTE: The assigned developer and lock options specified on the Objects tab of the CSR are applied to any objects added to the CSR by way of the Read CSR Wizard.

Creating File Objects

With proper security rights, you can create a new file object, add it to a CSR, and move it to the assigned developer’s working directory. When you create a file object, you can either use a file template, or you can base it on an existing object.

In 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 helps enforce adherence to development standards and saves time.

To create a file object:
1
On the Objects tab, select an environment and object type. Then click New Object.
Stat opens the New Object window, with the assigned developer and object type that you previously selected displayed as default values.
2
(Optional) In the Assigned To field, select a different developer.
3
If you want to base the new file object on an existing object, select Existing Object in the Source field.
4
(Optional) In the File Type field, select a different file type.
5
Do one of the following:
•
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.
•
If basing the new file object on an existing object, click the Browse button in the Existing Object field. Then in the Select File dialog box, locate and select the file object you want to use.
6
In the New Object Name field, enter a name for the new object. Then click Create.
Stat displays a series of warning messages telling you that the object does not exist in each environment in the migration path. For each environment, Stat asks you if you want to add the file object to the CSR.
* 
IMPORTANT: If source file locations have not been defined for an environment, you cannot add an instance of a new file object to a CSR for that environment.
7
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, see Creating Archive Sets (Generic Applications) .

Download File Objects

To download a single file object from environment, select the object in the list of objects and click Download.

Editing File Objects

If you want to edit a file object associated with a CSR, you can open it directly from Stat with whichever program your operating system uses to open files of that type. When selecting a file object to edit, remember that you can choose from different versions of the same object. These include the versions that exist in users’ working directories as well as all the source file locations defined for any of the environments on the migration path of the CSR. However, because source file locations do not include drive information, Stat cannot open a file object from the same location in which it resides for a selected environment. Instead, Stat copies the file to the file download directory. For Windows 7/8 it's C:\Program Data\Quest Software\Stat\temp.

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. 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, see Running a Migration (Generic Applications) .
