Search/Grep over all released Architect Scripts?
Posted: 21 Sep 07 8:11 AM

I would like to do a search over all of our released Saleslogix Scripts without having to click-to-drill down in potentially hundreds of places.
I have a feeling there may have been a general assumption about overall security made years ago that is no longer the case, and I would like to perform a system-wide audit. The search string is very specific - a specific seccodeid, in fact.
Are custom scripts resident in their raw form on disk or in the database?
I'll figure it out anyway but I thought someone might know off the top of their head.
Thanks!
-Chris.

They are stored within the database. In the past people have developed scripts to "rip" the scripts out of the database for doing searches. JH3 has a utility called Electrician that does searches for scripts within the system. Unfortunately John has disappeared and has not posted any updates to this software so it does not look into .net forms in 7.0 and I have had some unexpected results doing searches so I can not recommend this option any longer.

Well, I haven't *completely* disappeared... I'm just keeping a "lower profile," so as to confound the papparazzi.

That's true for script code, and some of the embedded properties of form controls, since that stuff is mostly stored in plain text within the BLOB. The product Ted was referring to...
http://www.jh3.com/software/electrician.htm
...actually opens up each BLOB, extracts the serialized objects, does the necessary Delphi/BDS deserialization, and will also deserialize most objects that are serialized within those - in other words, it deserializes recursively until everything (in theory, anyway) is human-readable... other than bitmaps, which it mostly ignores, since they're not really searchable to begin with.
That's the only way to determine the field-binding of most controls, I'm sorry to say. That's the piece of info people most often want to obtain - and unfortunately that part of it isn't so easy! |

 papparazzi avoider!
Anyway, yes, I figured how to parse out the datablob last night to some extent however given your post John, I may still get Electrician.
I don't necessarily need field-binding at this point, I just need more searchability than I can get out of the Architect UI like specific plug-in names, timestamps, versions, authors, side-by-side with the actual script/form content, filtered and sorted in multiple ways (need SQL to do it).
