Obj-open using keys other than the primary key
Consider a class "X" and its key is defined as "Y"
In what case ,we can do a obj-open on that class instance by using property other than "Y"?[
I heard we can do this with the help of lock key .If so ,where to mention the lock key and can the lock key be different from the class primary key "X"?
Can any one help me on this/

Hi Ashwin,
Yes the keys defined in the locking tab , will be taken to form the lock key.
If these lockkeys are not mentioned, it uses the keys defined in the general tab of the class group form.

Hi,
If a class belongs to a work group, no keys will be explicitly defined for that class. It uses the keys defined on that Workgroup.
The properties used in the Obj-Open, must use atleast one of the property mentioned in the keys section on the class rule form.
In case you are trying to obtain a lock on the WO, the properties in the Obj-Open must use one of the property forming the lock key.

Thank you for the reply.
Regarding the lock key formation,keys which are defined in the locking tab of the class group form will be taken as a lock key. Isn't ?
"Allow locking" check box has been checked in the locking tab of class group form and no lock key has been defined in it. In this scenario, what key can be used to obtain a lock on the WO during obj-open?Any property on the class?

Hi,
Technically for Obj-Open method when we enter property name/names, we build up the pzInsKey to identify a record. pzInsKey is the primary ID and is concatenation of all the keys defined for that class.
Hence Omitting any of the key for your case is not an option I think.
