2.2 Functionality Demonstration- Child Refresh

This topic provides an overview of Child Refresh Functionality.

In the topic Perform Child Refresh process, UTDCIFD is refreshed with the latest UTDCIFD. The figure below shows the preview of UTDCIFD and UTDCIFDC main screens before the refresh.

From the screen preview, it can be noted that in the child screen many changes have been done which had resulted in a very different layout. Many fieldsets which were part of the parent screen have been made hidden and new fieldsets containing new fields have been introduced in the child screen.

Now we load UTDCIFD in Workbench in the current release and made some modifications to it as required. A new field COUNTRY AND NATION have been introduced. A preview of UTDCIFD after the modifications is shown below. Note the newly added field highlighted.

Child Refresh of UTDCIFDC is done as explained in the topic Perform Child Refresh. The system units(main packages, language xml.sys js ,xsd’s, etc) are regenerated by loading the refreshed RADXML and deployed. All the units need to be regenerated. Preview of UTDCIFDC main screen after the refresh is shown below:

Here the user can find that the field added in the parent screen has come in the child screen as well. Meanwhile, other differences we have noticed between the initial parent and child screens have not come up as they were overridden in the child function Id.

Hence we find that the changes done in the parent have come up in the child while retaining the changes done in the child. Note that only screen layout changes have been explained in this demonstration for ease of understandability; this is applicable for all nodes (For Example Call Form, Launch Form, LOVs, etc.).
