WebTools 6 SP1

Question

if ((qData.TransType == TransactionType.Add ||
                qData.TransType == TransactionType.Update) &&
                qData.Status == QueueStatus.InQueue)
                if (_myitem.GetByKey(qData.Keys[0]))
                    NPPart a = new NPPart(_myitem.ItemCode, NPConn);
                    // the part should have synchronized by now, if not, there was an error, so don't try to
                    //  change the record if it doesn't exist on the Web tools side
                    if (a.Initialized)
                        if (a.SynchID == u.SynchID)
                          //now sync
How do I reference  a UDF in Item Master for my synch plugin
Thanks

Hi Yusuf,
unfortunately WebTools doesn't support UDFs. While you obviously can modify the WebTools table columns directly at SQL server level, such changes will be reverted when upgrading to a new WebTools version which contains changes to that table. Also, you won't have access to your added columns via standard APIs.
However, you can create a table mapped 1:1 using primary key, and store the UDFs there. You'll still have to access the data manually (i.e. without API support), but a table created this way should be safe from deletes during upgrade (especially if it will include some unique prefix to differentiate it from WT tables, which don't have any).

Stefan
