Merging Multiple Objects into One

Anonymous — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 12:53:00 GMT

Hi team,

There is a way of merging 5 different objects into one, without doing copy and paste from each object into the brand new one?

Due to nested dependencies plan to make things easier by having a big objects with all Utilities e.g (Utility - Collection manipulation, File Manipulation, Folder Manipulation) etc.

I need to have this action without touching the original ones, at the end of the day plan to have the original ones and this new big object.

Thank you!

Since every object has it's own unique object model, you wouldn't be able to merge all objects into it.
However, You may try exploring the sharable object model which could probably help you.

There can be a valid reason to have all code in one VBO - avoiding OOM errors due to spreading collection copies.
Although, answer to original question seems to be no, not easily possible.

It took me a lot of time to do this. Basically all the objects that have no code inside/objects in application Modeler can be merge by copying the pages etc.
Those that have C# or Vb code can be merge only to have all the C# objects into one Master object with the condition that all functions must not be duplicate etc.

Nevertheless I think this is an improvement idea that BP should take into consideration. People have tones of objects for the long term we should have the possibility of merging things much easier. For this topic everything is manual and we are in automation business....Customer satisfaction should be taken into consideration when you develop something for process automation...

Would be nice to have someone from BP's management/R&D to think on this topic.

Cheers!
