Key change
This function is used to perform a mass key change.
It is possible to enter or load the grid by selecting records for a given object.
For instance:
Object |
Object title |
Identifier 1 |
Identifier 2 |
Title |
New code |
ADI |
Miscellaneous table |
ACO |
1 |
|
ZZZ |
BPC |
Customers |
CLIENT1 |
|
|
CLIENT2 |
Principle
For each line in the grid, the key change is equivalent to the manual key change carried out by the user.
The key change consists in changing the code in all the records contained in the database.
The link between the modified code and the other tables containing this code is defined in the table dictionary.
