OMB to find out deployment status of an object

Question

Hi all,
I am creating an OMB script to deploy all objects in a collection. I use that to promote new developments to e.g. the acceptance environment. Objects in the collection may already exist and be deployed to the database. In the case of a table it is relevant to know if the table is already deployed to the database because you do not want to destroy data already in the table. I would like to use an UPGRADE for that table as that will preserve the data and is possible in most cases.
Now I am looking for an OMB command to retrieve the deployment status so I can determine if I must use an UPGRADE or a CREATE. It seems I can't find it in the docs? Is this possible in any way?
I can find the status using the all_iv views of course, but since I am working from a tcl script, I would prefer an OMB command.
Kind regards,
Eric.

Hi Eric,
I've never saw such OMB command. You can try approach (using JDBC in OMBPlus) described here {message:id=3691751} .
If your design and runtime repositoris located under the same database you can avoid creating new JDBC connection - since OWB 10gR2 it is possible get JDBC connection to OWB repository like this (before you need grant from Design Center system privilege ACCESS_PUBLICVIEW_BROWSER to user under which you plan to run script)
set repMgr [java::call oracle.owb.connection.RepositoryManager getInstance]
set jdbcConn [$repMgr getPublicViewConnection]
set connStatus [$jdbcConn isClosed]
puts $connStatusRegards,
