Good morning listers,

We are currently evaluating stratraframe to use as a framework to convert our vfp application. This app has a sql server back end database. Most of our data access is using sprocs. Some of these procedures return columns across multiple tables or aggrigate columns. From the tutorials it looks like strataframe has only one table as the primary business object's data source.

How do we reference columns not in this table returned by a stored procedure?

thanks

Hi Rick,

Welcome to the forums!!!

You can either create a View and use that as the source table for your Business Object (BO) or if the quantity of fields to be returned by your SP which are not in the primary table of the BO are not much you can create Custom Field Properties in the StrataFrame Business Object to be mapped to those columns, but the simplest way is to create a View for the BO that way the internal Data Table used by the BO will have all the fields returned by your stored procedure.

The StrataFrame Business Objects uses an internal Data Table and the Business Object Mapper (BOM) will create Custom Field Properties for each field in the real table used for the BO, so if the source table is a View then the BOM will do the work for you and create a property for each field in the view which then you can reference in your application using the business object.

Hope this help you clear your question.  Please be sure to invest some time in the documentation in the help file to get familiar with the SF terminology.
