RE: IFM COM Data Models

["Konrad Underkofler" <kdunderk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Philip,
 
Just save the source the changes created and you should be fine. To really use 
the model you would have had to purchase Synon as well and that was enough of a 
cost that most did not. If you plan on no further changes Synon and the models 
can go away. 
 
On your other question about which applications used which licenses, I am not 
sure how MAPICS handles that. Given the ability to transfer from one app to 
another I believe all the security goes thru CAS, so one license by default 
licenses all applications. Worst case put the MO history option on one of the 
menus that do remain. 
 
Regards
 
Konrad

        We are moving away from MAPICS but will maintain a user based license on
        some applications for historical purposes.
        
        We have the COM Data Model (5733-S79 SDMCM) and IFM Data Model (5733-S77
        SDMGL).  Can we continue to use COM and IFM, but drop these Data 
Models? 
        
        We have no IFM custom code.  We do have significant COM modifications, 
done
        by Oakdene - but do not know if they used the Data Model to affect the
        changes.  As long as we do not plan on doing any further modification, 
would
        the model be required to run existing changes?
