Aldon had the ability to specify your own conversion routines, I'd be
surprised if Implementer didn't have a similar option.

Also, in Aldon, I handled a similar complex "distribution" via the "Library
Group" assigned to an object.

In my case, I had PF/LF that
- only went to LIB1
- only went to LIB2
- went to both LIB1 and LIB2

For what that's worth to you..

many Implementer users never realized that PTC bought out MKS years ago.)

"For reasons", I need to duplicate the PF and LF object codes to PFE and
LFE object codes, respectively, then convert hundreds of existing objects
defined with the PF and LF object codes to PFE and LFE object codes. PTC
provides articles 127578 "How to convert existing object from one object
code to another in Implementer" (which doesn't apply to data files, but has
relevant information) and 120120 "How to convert traditional DDS file to
SQL DDL files in Implementer" (which is somewhat misnamed, since it also
discusses the PF/LF to PFE/LFE type conversion as well). Those of us
familiar with this process may remember that part of the process of
converting data file objects requires creating a backup of the "live" data,
wiping out the "live" files, promoting the files with the new object code,
then copying back the data to the "live" files from the backup. Fine to do
in a test/QA environment, not so much in a 99.99999% uptime SLA production
environment when dealing with hundreds of
large files.

Has anyone found a way to do this without taking production data files
offline?
