Occasionally you may need to update library entries. For example:
When a PowerBuilder developer modifies a form style using a window in imstyletradition115.pbl or imstylecontemp115.pbl, the developer is modifying an ancestor object and you should regenerate forms (the descendants) so that they pick up the revisions to their ancestor.
When you make extensive changes to objects, you can rebuild entire libraries so that objects are regenerated sequentially based on interdependence.
When you upgrade to a new version of InfoMaker, you need to migrate your objects.
When you regenerate an entry, InfoMaker recompiles the source form stored in the library and replaces the existing compiled form with the recompiled form.
To regenerate library entries:
Select the entries you want to regenerate.
Click the Regen button, or select Entry>Regenerate from the menu bar.
InfoMaker uses the source to regenerate the library entry and replaces the current compiled object with the regenerated object. The compilation date and size are updated.
